A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 164

To Eleanor, her words were insulting, but Liana was frightening.

Liana hurried to stand in front of Eleanor to apologize for her, "Ms. Valona, she didn't know who you are, and that's why she dared to say those words to you. I'm really sorry. Can you give her a break and let her off just this time?"

Liana's humble plea made Eleanor even more guilty, "Dr. Terrill…"

She wanted to say don't lower herself for her, but Liana stopped her, "Miss, you just came here to see me for some treatment and medicine. I don't know you well. If you dare to say anything that will upset Ms. Valona again, I won't treat you anymore!"

Liana was distancing herself from her, actually trying to protect her. Sensing this, Eleanor didn't say anything more.

Although she felt that the woman in front of her was too arrogant, Liana seemed to be frightened of her. In order not to cause Liana any trouble, Eleanor had to swallow her anger.

Seeing this, Ms. Valona taunted her, "Dr. Terrill, you’re really a good friend. You can't even protect yourself, yet you want to protect your patient."

Liana immediately became depressed, lowering her head even more. Her clenched fists and heaving chest revealed her unwillingness to submit.

"Dr. Terrill, it seems like you're not willing to give in?"

Liana quickly released her fists and shook her head, "How could I? Ms. Valona, you’re a socialite; how could I not submit?"

Joelle sneered, "If you're willing to submit, then hand her over to me."

Liana lifted her head in shock, "Take me away instead; she can't…"

Eleanor was once kept by Bernard, how could she let Joelle take her to the club?!

Seeing Liana's panic, Joelle smiled even more wickedly.

"Weren't you saying you're not close with her?"

"For someone you're not close with, you’re willing to go so far as to become a hooker. That's really too selfless."

Eleanor didn't know where she got the courage from, but suddenly she was no longer afraid of those with power and influence.

Joelle was so angry that her whole body trembled. This woman dared to mock her as a procuress!

She raised her hand to slap Eleanor but was stopped by Liana's timely wrist grab.

Eleanor couldn't take such a slap from Joelle in her condition.

Since Eleanor was not afraid to offend Joelle for her sake, neither was Liana. They might as well make a stand!

The two women coldly stared Joelle down, causing her to laugh in anger instead.

"Fine, really good. No one has ever dared to defy me in this world; you two are the first. Just wait and see!"

Joelle tossed this menacing warning, turned her head, and left, her domineering attitude sending chills down Liana's spine.
