A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 607

After Bernard left, Eleanor immediately got up to look for Hailey in the master bedroom.

She saw Hailey sitting at the vanity, staring blankly at some papers in her hand. So, she quickly knocked on the door.

"Hailey, what are you looking at?" she asked.

Hearing the knock, Hailey quickly stashed away the folder that Garett had given her earlier into a drawer.

Garett had told her not to give the folder to Eleanor until her wedding day, so Hailey kept it a secret.

Eleanor, of course, noticed Hailey's panic but didn't probe. Instead, she said, "Hailey, I bought a villa next door to yours."

Hailey was about to say that there was no need to buy a villa and that living with her was fine. But before she could say it, she understood what Eleanor meant. Eleanor was worried about the Laurences looking down on her, so she had prepared a villa for herself.

The thought of marrying into a wealthy family was quite a headache. Luckily, Eleanor had a talent for design, and one design could earn her millions. Just this talent alone amazed people. Hailey had no special talent. She only worked in a nightclub.

Hailey was a bit silent. She suddenly remembered that she had no chance of marrying into a wealthy family. Being a nightclub owner was enough. With that thought, Hailey regained her confidence. She reached out and pulled Eleanor to sit next to her.

"By the way, about your wedding gift, I plan to give you 50% shares of the nightclub, plus all the savings and properties I have accumulated over the years...."

Eleanor remembered when Hailey got married for the first time, she only gave her a couple hundred grand. Later, when Hailey went to W City, she secretly returned a total of a million to Eleanor. The couple hundred was a part of that million.

Now, Hailey wanted to use all her assets to help her, which moved Eleanor deeply...

She held Hailey's hand tightly and softly said, "Hailey, these are your life's foundation, you can't give them to me. I'll figure it out myself."

There were nearly two months until Valentine's Day, she could draw more designs and probably earn quite a bit of money.

Although compared to what Bernard gave her, it was a drop in the ocean, but that was all she could offer.

Hailey still wanted to persuade Eleanor to accept, but Eleanor suddenly stood up and ran out, "Hey, where are you going?"

Eleanor didn't look back. She headed straight for the study downstairs, "I've been gone for more than half a year. Pearce must have sent a lot of messages. I need to call him back ASAP!"

Hailey chased after her, quickly explaining, "I told him about your situation, he knows!"

[......]

A bunch of trivial words, she just scrolled past, to the last one:

[Oh, Hailey said you were taken away by Ethan, I sympathize with that, also, hope you adjust well to the new environment]

So Pearce knew she was taken away by Ethan, and that's why he stopped messaging her, but...

He was Ethan's apprentice. He knew Ethan did something wrong to her, and yet he didn't help her. He had even hoped she would adjust well. This was too much!

Eleanor was so angry her teeth were grinding. She immediately scrolled through her contacts, and gave Pearce a very angry call.

Pearce, who was in the middle of a construction site, heard his phone. It hadn't rung for more than half a year, but it suddenly rang with a pleasant tone. He immediately jumped up.

He took off his dusty gloves, and excitedly took out his phone. He saw it was Eleanor calling. He answered with a big smile on his face, "Hello. So you're still alive?"
