When Pearce burst into tears, George reached out and patted him on the shoulder. "Mr. Ziegler left his company in your hands before he passed away..."
This was a tough challenge, but it was what kept Pearce going.
His mentor, who had supported and educated him all his life, was still looking out for him even in death.
Usually a jolly person, Pearce broke down completely at that moment.
Eleanor was still sitting in the hospital room, leaning on Bernard's shoulder, quietly awaiting news.
Bernard sent Caleb to stop Casey's private jet, but he wasn't sure if it had worked.
She found out from George that Casey didn't allow Nina to go to school, and only taught her how to shoot a gun.
Casey's endgame was simple: he wanted Nina to kill her own father.
Even if Ethan hadn't left a will, she would never let Nina live with such a crazy foster father.
She had to get Nina back, to give her a home, and let her grow up carefree.
This was the only thing she could do for Emilia and Ethan...
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Caleb's call came through.
Eleanor quickly sat up, nervously looking at Bernard's phone.
Caleb's clear voice quickly came over the phone.
"Sir, I'm sorry, something went wrong and we didn't manage to stop them..."
"You guys couldn't even handle such a simple task, what the hell are you doing?"
Eleanor nodded gently, leaning against his chest, her anxiety gradually subsided. It felt so good to have him around.
Gianna, carrying her designer bag and wearing high heels, stood at the door of the hospital room, seeing the two of them leaning closely on each other.
She had never seen Bernard so affectionate, somewhat surprised, so he could be tender too.
She pretended to clear her throat, "Mr. Laurence, may I come in?"
Her voice, dignified yet elegant, carried a hint of tenderness that was very pleasing to the ear.
Eleanor looked up, and what she saw was Gianna's angelically beautiful face.
She leaned against the door frame, seemingly lazy and indifferent. It's just that her pair of beautiful eyes lingered on Bernard's body all the time.
