A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 619

At the Laurence Manor, lines of flashy cars parked at the front yard.

A man stepped out of one of the luxury cars, treading on marble steps. He was followed by a few suited bodyguards carrying briefcases, and entered the courtyard.

Walking through the winding corridor, and passing round archways and corner stone statues. Through the lavish entrance hall, across the cloister, and straight into the living room.

The living room was all glitz and glamour. The wooden tables, chairs, sofas, and countless decorations of various shapes and colors highlighted luxury.

The elder members of the Laurence family were already seated all over the living room, fervently discussing the purpose of this meeting.

"I bet he's pissed that we didn't show up to his proposal ceremony...."

"That Ms. Shultz, is she even worth our time?"

"Exactly, a woman who can't even compare to us in status, is not even worthy enough to polish my shoes, why should we go?"

"Right, even if he's the family's head, we don't have to bend over backwards for him. Not just the proposal ceremony, we won't go to the wedding!"

"Yeah, we won't go to the wedding either, let's see what he can do to us...."

Apart from these elders, the younger generation of the Laurence family was also present. Upon hearing these discussions, their faces turned grim. They all remained silent. Only the youngest, Sigrid, looked quite discontent and scoffed.

"You guys think he cares whether you attend or not? If he didn't want to show complete sincerity to Eleanor, you probably wouldn't even have received an invitation. You say you won't even go to his wedding, have the guts to say it to his face. Let's see if he would invite you."

Being accused by the younger generation, made the uncles uncomfortable and they started pointing fingers at Sigrid's parents.

"Look at this, this is the excellent student you've raised. Doesn't even have basic manners, and you dare call her an excellent student!"

"I think, either she's become stupid from studying abroad, or she's been corrupted by Chase."

"I'm sure it's Chase who corrupted her, that's why she doesn't show respect to her elders."

"If she respected her elders, she wouldn't have let Cedric take her to the hospital for an abortion...."

"Abortion? Whose child?"

"Who else, Chase's child of course!"

"Those who slandered my wife and blamed my sister, don't have to come to work at the Laurence Group anymore. As for the shares...."

Bernard paused, his cold gaze landing on the third oldest, "Kendrick, you handle the cash out."

Kendrick Laurence, received his older brother's order and nodded immediately, "Alright, I'll arrange it right away."

Kendrick, who was efficient in doing things, quickly left the living room to make arrangements. Seeing that Bernard was serious, the Laurence family's relatives couldn't sit still anymore, they all objected.

"Why should we cash out? We don't want to. We want to stay and have shares in the Laurence Group."

Their shares might not be much, but the dividends were not small. With those little shares, they could live for several generations.

"On what grounds?"

Bernard scoffed. With his scarred hand, he flicked the snowflakes off his sleeve, and slowly began.

"Since the establishment of the Laurence Group, you've not contributed anything. You just rely on the family name; you've got a quota of shares. You sit quietly and enjoy the benefits, I could turn a blind eye, but what have you done behind my back? Accepting bribes, manipulating the stock market, selling projects, one after another. All are destroying the Laurence Group, why should I keep you?"
