A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 43

Eleanor was stunned after watching the news.

What kind of power could bring down the big shot of A City overnight?!

She suddenly remembered what the masked man said last night, that Josef wouldn't be coming back.

How did he know Josef wouldn't come back? Could he be the one behind it?

If it was him, then her previous guess that the masked man was Josef's friend would be wrong.

Moreover, Josef's friends couldn't possibly have such formidable skills to bring down the Caporal Group overnight.

If it wasn't Josef's friend, then who the hell could this "Mr. Law" be?

Eleanor's felt like her head was not enough to handle so many things.

But at least Josef had been dealt with, and she wouldn't have to be afraid anymore.

However, she'd barely escaped from Josef's grasp and was already being targeted by other jerks!

Eleanor decided to ask the hotel manager for surveillance footage.

But only footage of Josef entering and leaving her room was available, and all footage related to the man had been deleted.

This made Eleanor feel even more that the man was no simple dude!

Without footage and no idea who the man was, she didn't have any evidence to press charges.

But how could she just let him go?

Eleanor thought of how the man didn't threaten her with Hailey, so she bravely went to the police station.

After filing a police report, she provided the man's phone number, WhatsApp number, and all the messages he had sent to the police.

But the police said the phone number wasn't linked to any ID card, they couldn't trace the WhatsApp address, and it was hard to locate the person.

As for the messages, since she had initiated the invitation, even if he pretended to be someone else, it couldn't serve as direct evidence.

The police could only suggest she go to the hospital to extract any remaining semen to preserve some evidence.

Disappointed, Eleanor still mustered up the courage and went to the hospital.

After finishing all these, she dragged her exhausted body back home.

"After I heard, I felt something was off, so I called you. But you didn't pick up. And considering all the strange people at the wedding yesterday, I was worried that something might happen to you, so I hurried over to find you."

No wonder Hailey didn't go on her honeymoon with Austin; she was worried about Eleanor.

"I'm sorry, Hailey."

Feeling guilty, Eleanor quickly explained, "I did run into some trouble yesterday. There's a contract that's very important to Mr. Caporal, and I didn't give it to him. That's why he got furious and barged into your wedding and even sent people to your wedding room. He just wanted the contract. Luckily, I finally got the contract at midnight and handed it over to him. So, his people left after standing at your door for a while. Everything has been resolved, and he won't bother me anymore."

Eleanor didn't want Hailey to worry, so she didn't tell her about being forced last night, only reassuring her with the reasoning.

"I knew Mr. Caporal seemed to be threatening you yesterday, and I didn't expect it to be true!"

After Hailey spoke, she worriedly looked up and down at Eleanor.

"He didn't do anything bad to you, did he?"

"No," Eleanor shook her head.

But Hailey's sharp eyes caught the love bite on her neck, and her expression froze.
