A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 429

Teresa freaked out, realizing she had said something she shouldn't have, and quickly shook her head.

Bernard, snapped her wrist: "Spill it!"

Teresa, whose wrist had just been broken, screamed in pain, with tears streaming down her face.

She didn't really know Bernard, but she thought he was out of her league.

Little did she know that he was ruthless enough to hurt a woman.

He was treating her like this without even knowing the truth. What would he do if he found out? Kill her?

Terrified, Teresa lied through the pain: "I saw it at the airport, you know. After you sent her off, you puked blood. Didn't you break up with her?"

The coldness in Bernard's eyes intensified: "I sent her back because of her job, and I puked blood because of my stomach problems. What does that have to do with breaking up?"

Teresa went pale after hearing Bernard's words, not sure if it was because of the pain in her wrist or her guilt.

She thought they had broken up, but they hadn't. Wasn't she just asking for trouble by going to see Bernard now?

Bernard glanced at her and saw right through her. He pushed her hand away and coldly shouted, "Someone!"

Caleb, who had just arrived at the hospital, rushed in with a group of bodyguards.

"Mr. Laurence, what can I do for you?"

Bernard stared coldly at Teresa, who was holding her wrist in pain and trembling on the floor.

"Use whatever means necessary to make her tell the truth within ten minutes!"

She knew that if she admitted to provoking Eleanor, Bernard would surely kill her.

But she didn't think Bernard would go that far. Her family was a big deal in W City; he couldn't just take her out, could he?

Teresa didn't think Bernard would actually kill her, but nine minutes later his bodyguards pinned her to the ground, and four or five of them started tearing her clothes off. Teresa's face went deathly pale.

"Stop it!"

The bodyguards exchanged glances and stopped, seemingly not wanting to touch her and just trying to scare her.

Teresa breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could recover, one of the bodyguards pulled out a small knife.

Without hesitation, he slashed her wrist: "Ms. Teresa, Mr. Laurence can find out anything. He's just in a hurry for results, that's why he sent us. He doesn't care if you're dead or alive. So, if you confess now, you might be spared. But if you keep quiet, we'll just wait for you to bleed out. We've got time..."
