Of course, Brenda didn’t know what Eleanor was thinking and blamed her for all the embarrassment
After the banquet was over, she cried to Derek and Ryan, Dad, brother, you have to stand up for mel
Derek heard her weeping and slapped her. You were too impulsive and pissed off Bernard, and you still dare to cry in front of
Brenda immediately stopped crying, looking at Derek with disbelief, “Dad, you actually hit me?”
“If I don’t, how will you learn your lesson? Was Bernard someone you could offend? is the woman Jason brought someone you could just bully? Bernard has power and influence in A City, and Jason wields great power in B City You have offended both of them?
Derek’s anger turned his face pale, and he was trembling if it weren’t for Ryan holding him back, he probably would’ve given Brenda another beating.
Never expecting her always–doting dad would hit her so hard for outsiders, Brenda, angry and hurt, covered her face and ran out.
Seeing his sister leave in a huff, Ryan followed her quickly.
The chaos of the Mallory family’s banquet became well known to everyon
Eleanor was led out of the Mansion by Jation.
As Colter hadn’t returned with the car yet, Jason held her hand while waiting at the door
Eleanor glanced at his hand and nonchalantly broke free, pretending as if nothing had happened
When her soft hand slipped out of his palm, a flicker of loss flashed through Jason’s eyes.
Thinking about how he helped her just now, Eleanor still thanked him, “Mr. Clowers, thank you for helping me ”
Hearing her cold and polite voice, Jason’s mood became even more disappointed.
He gazed at Eleanor’s swollen face, feeling guilty, T’m sorry, it’s my fault. You got hurt because I didn’t protect you”
Eleanor said indifferently, “It’s okay”
It was just a slap, nothing compared to the kicks he dealt her before
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk more, Jason felt even more disappointed. Just as he was about to strike up a conversation, Colter drove the car over.
Jason could only act like a gentleman and open the backseat door for Eleanor
Feeling dizzy, Eleanor swayed a little before getting into the car, and Jason quickly supported her waist, “Are you okay?”
Eleanor shook her head, wanting to push away Jason’s hand, He, however, firmly held her waist, helping her into the car NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
As the Rolls Royce drove away, the man in the Koenigsegg angrily prubbed out his cigarette.
In the dim light, the cold white moonlight shone through the car window and reflected upon the man’s cold and refined features.
His indifferent eyes looked like they were from hell, devoid of emotion, appearing cold and gloomy
Sitting in the back seat, Cedric could not see his expression but felt that he was waiting for Eleanor
He unconsciously worried, “Bernard, why aren’t we leaving yet?”
Silent for a few seconds, the man coldly said. “Waiting for Aidyn.”
Aidyn said he left something at the Mallory’s and went back to get it
However, Cedric thought this excuse was unconvincing. Aidyn could have taken the bodyguard’s car back. There was no need to wait for an assistant here, right?
Although this assistant grew up with him since childhood, there is no need for them to wait so far away from the Malloy family for such a small matter
Cedric was feeling increasingly worried, “You wouldn’t actually fall for Ms. Shultz, would you?”
He thought Bernard would deny it, but he suddenly replied. “What if I do?”
Cedric was taken aback, quickly sitting up straight, nervously advising. “If you really do, then her life will be in danger! Although she’s not the best person, I don’t want to see more bloodshed”

Hearing this, the emotions in Bernard’s eyes gradually faded
He turned to look at Cedric, a hint of a smile on his refined face. “Cedric, you’re still as gullible as when you were a kid “
Cedric finally realized it was a joke, and his tense nerves relayed.
Still, he warned Bernard seriously. “You can’t say such things in front of others.”
Speaking in front of him was fine, but if someone else overheard the Laurence family would never find peace
Bernard looked away, his indifferent eyes revealing a bottomless despair
