A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 40

She lost her knife and was tightly held by the man.

This helpless feeling made her super bummed out.

So she just squatted down, knelt on the ground, and cried her eyes out while covering her face.

"Stop crying," the man said coldly to comfort her.

Eleanor couldn't care less, lying on the floor, sobbing her heart out, looking quite pathetic.

The man seemed helpless, sighed, squatted down, and gently touched Eleanor's hair.

After she resisted and pushed him away, he said indifferently, "I've been missing you for a long time, and couldn't hold back just now. Sorry."

Missing her for a long time?

So this jerk didn't do this on a whim, but had planned it for a long time?

He pretended to be Josef to text her, proving he knew she was Josef's girlfriend.

And Josef announced that she was his girlfriend, was the night at the Midnight Bar.

Eleanor thought carefully, and on that night, there were men with this height and physique.

Besides Bernard, there were Cedric and many other rich kids.

The Laurence Group brothers all looked down on her, so they wouldn't have done this sort of thing.

So, this man in front of her might be one of Josef's friends.

He was familiar with Josef, so he knew Josef was in a meeting when she called to ask.

With that thought, Eleanor's mind became clearer, and only someone related to Josef would do this kind of thing.

She suddenly felt terrified when she thought about how she had just begged him to let her go while telling him her plan.

If he told Josef about it, she could forget about killing him. Instead, they might take her out!

Eleanor was so frightened that she was trembling all over, very desperate, and felt breathless.

The man picked up the short knife, glanced at it, and guessed her plan after tricking Josef with the fake contract.

"You plan on tricking Josef into drinking the drugged wine, and then using this knife to kill him?"

Eleanor clenched her fists in anger. This guy was quite clever, and he saw right through her plan.

He threw the knife away and coldly warned Eleanor, "If you ever get into danger, come to me. Don't take risks like this again."

Eleanor didn't understand what he meant, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean?"

The man didn't answer and walked away.

He left quickly, as if he had some urgent matter to deal with.

Eleanor watched his back, wishing she could tear him apart on the spot.

But now she was so tired, her body limp, and she just wanted to sleep.

However, she still forced herself to sit on the couch and wait for Josef.

There was no way she would believe the words of a rapist!

She had to summon all her strength, stay here, and kill Josef when he arrived!

As for that jerk, since he hadn't threatened her with Hailey, she could let him off for now.

But neither of these two would get away with it!

Eleanor clenched her fists and vowed in her heart that she would never let them go!
