A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 95

Eleanor felt awful and wronged, but didn’t know how to express it.

The silence from her had the anger in Bernard’s eyes gradually turn into disappointment. He thought that this woman must be really something, making him swallow his pride to come to her time and time again.

Thinking about all they’ve been through, it seemed so absurd and foolish!

He suddenly snapped out of it and let go of Eleanor.

The disappointment in his eyes turned back into coldness and detachment.

“From now on, I won’t bother with you anymore.”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Eleanor stood there, dumbfounded, watching his back disappear quickly. Her heart suddenly felt empty.

Her gut told her that he was not coming back.

Suddenly gathering courage from somewhere, she went up to him and stopped him.

She tried to explain, a bit incoherently, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to deceive you, Garett and I, I mean, Jason and I, we…”

“It’s none of my business.”

Bernard coldly cut her off, “I came to you just because I couldn’t stand being deceived. Now that I know the reason, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

His words were like a bucket of icy water, dousing Eleanor and making her shiver all over.

All of those explanations got stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Pretending not to care, Eleanor nodded her head, “Alright, take care, Mr. Laurence.”

As she spoke, tears burst from her eyes. She quickly turned away, trying to hide them from him.

She heard the sounds of a door opening and closing behind her. Without hesitating for a second, the man. left the room.

Looking back at the closed door, Eleanor’s heart felt like it had been cut open.

Feeling weak, she leaned against the wall for support, then lied back down on the couch.

With teary eyes, she stared blankly at the ceiling, and tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks like beads falling off a broken string.

This time, she and Bernard were probably done for good….

After leaving the break room, Bernard coldly ordered Aidyn, who was waiting by the door, “Delete the surveillance footage of me being here!”

Aidyn respectfully replied, “Yes, Mr. Laurence.”

“And, look into Eleanor and Jason’s past. I want all the information within a day!”

Ever since he bought Eleanor, he had never really investigated her. Even the name Garett she had called out in her sleep went unquestioned.

He had always trusted her because she was obedient, quiet, and beautiful. But he had no idea that she was full of lies!

If he found out that she had slept with someone else, he would never forgive her!

Upon hearing the order, Aidyn hesitated for a moment.

Was there a relationship between Eleanor and Jason?

Aidyn was curious but didn’t ask any further questions, and he quickly left after replying with a “Yes.”

Aidyn grew up alongside Bernard and was just as efficient.

In just half a day, Aidyn had found all the information on Jason and Eleanor’s past.

He carried a stack of documents into the CEO’s office.

“Mr. Laurence, I’ve uncovered the past of Ms. Shultz and Mr. Clowers.”

He placed the documents on the desk and reported to Bernard one by one:

“Before being found by the Clowers family, Jason was a child at Rainbow Refuge, where he went by the name Garett.”

“Five years ago, the Clowers family’s eldest son found him and brought him back from the orphanage.”

“To help Jason secure his position as the family heir, the eldest son erased all traces of his Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“This also explains why I couldn’t find any personal information on Garett back then.”
