A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 280

Liana froze for a moment, then realized that they had already met each other.

That's right, nobody can come and go freely in this villa unless Mr. Laurence personally brings them in.

She hadn't anticipated, though, that even after their meeting, Ms. Shultz would continue to fiercely resist Mr. Laurence. Could it be that their misunderstandings still hung in the air, unresolved?

Liana hesitated for a moment, then gathered up her courage again and said to Eleanor, "Ms. Shultz, Mr. Laurence really loves you. After you passed away..."

"Liana."

Eleanor suddenly called out her name and Liana immediately stopped.

"You are the fourth person to tell me that he loves me after I returned to the country."

Ethan, Hailey, Garett, Liana – they all told her the same thing.

They seem to think that if she knew Bernard loved her, she would go back to him immediately.

But, did they ever consider her feelings?

Did they ever wonder what kind of person Bernard was in her eyes?

Unable to restrain her emotions any longer, Eleanor looked at Liana with red eyes.

"Liana, if he loved me, would he force me to kneel and serve him wine after we broke up?"

"If he loved me, would he throw a check in my face and tell me this is my service fee for the past five years?"

"If he loved me, would he call me a slut?"

"Would he hold his fiancée's waist and tell me 'who do you think you are?'"

"Would he slap me hard, knowing that I have a heart condition?"

"Would he not even save my phone number?"

As the car drove away, Liana sighed and stood there in silence for a long time before turning around and leaving in her car.

Instead of going home, she went to Bernard's mansion to find out the truth.

Inside the mansion, the servants convened anxiously in the drawing room, casting uneasy glances at Bernard perched at the bar. Their fear was he might drink himself into a stupor, potentially leading to an unfortunate accident.

Liana walked in and saw Bernard, dressed in a suit, drinking with one hand.

The bar was messily filled with bottles of alcohol, at least a dozen, and in Bernard's hand was a pill.

Seeing this scene, Liana rushed over and snatched the pill from him. Her face turned pale when she realized it was a sleeping pill.

"Mr. Laurence, did you take this pill?"

Mixing sleeping pills with alcohol, was he trying to kill himself?!
