A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 73

Amanda trembled at the mention of sulfuric acid, too scared to talk back at the moment.

Eleanor shifted her gaze to Leila, who was shrinking and not daring to make a sound at the side. “You’ve been with so many older men, do you really need to ask if that stuff works? And you’re trying to slander me?”

Leila didn’t expect Eleanor to expose her secrets in public and got furious immediately. “What are you implying?”

Eleanor coldly stared at her, “Amanda has already told everyone about your antics, isn’t it clear to you what I’m saying?”

Leila turned her head disbelievingly towards Amanda, “I thought we were friends! Why would you betray me?”

Amanda never expected that Eleanor, who usually just swallowed her anger, would bring up Leila’s business in front of so many people.

Furious, she wanted to slap Eleanor hard, but Eleanor grabbed her wrist.

Eleanor stared at Amanda, saying coldly. “If you dare to slap me, I’ll make sure you lose every single penny!”

Amanda’s face twisted with anger, “Really?”

Eleanor got in Amanda’s face with a sneer, “Didn’t you say I had many backers? Just picking one would be enough to torment you.” After saying this, Eleanor ignored Amanda’s reactions. She pushed her away and walked out.

Amanda stared at her retreating figure, gritting her teeth with anger, “Eleanor, you bitch, I’ll get back at you!”

Eleanor pretended not to hear and walked straight into the restroom

All the humiliations she had suffered before were vented out today. She didn’t feel relieved, and just thought she should have done this a long time ago.

Opening the faucet, she was about to wash her face when Jeannie entered.

Jeannie had just gone to get juice for the president’s office and saw Amanda tell Eleanor off. So she hurried to the restroom. She asked, “Eleanor, are you alright?”

She didn’t know what had happened. Seeing Eleanor’s pale face, she guessed Amanda must have said something nasty, causing a quarrel. Eleanor was usually submissive and might have been bullied badly by Amanda.

Seeing Jeannie’s cute face, Eleanor felt at ease and gradually calmed down.

“I’m fine.” Said Eleanor. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Really?” Jeannie didn’t believe her. She knew Eleanor was the type to keep quiet even when wronged.

“Really, don’t worry about me. Go back to work before Amanda accuses you of slacking. Responded Eleanor.

Jeannie was an intern assigned with Amanda. They used to get along on the surface. If Amanda saw Jeannie being too close to Eleanor, she would definitely do something to her behind the scenes.

Jeannie finally got into VitaLife Global and hoped to become a formal employee. Better not to drag her down.

Jeannie seemed to realize this and hesitated a bit. But in the end, she nodded, “Alright, I’ll get back to work.”

Eleanor waved her hand with a smile, “Go ahead.”

Only after Jeannie left the restroom did the smile on Eleanor’s face gradually disappear.

Sophie wanted her to accompnay Jason on behalf of the Ratliff Group during his time in A City. Sometimes when partners came to the Ratliff Group on business trips, the company would have someone host them.

For example, arranging meals, accommodations, transportation, and entertainment.

But this was a treatment reserved for partners who came to the Ratliff Group to negotiate cooperation.

Jason was obviously here for the Laurence Group’s bidding, which had nothing to do with the Ratliff Group.

Sophie, just for VitaLife Global’s branch office, wanted her to please Jason.

Given her unbearable past with Jason, trying to entertain him again would most likely lead to him assuming she hadn’t changed and was only getting close to him under the guise of work.

Bernard might also think she was being too bold, daring to ignore his warning and continuing to seduce her brother–in–law.

Thinking of the misunderstandings she would face from Jason and Bernard, Eleanor felt embarrassed.

But compared to the penalty, embarrassment was no big deal, after all.
