A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 771

Eleanor was giving Elbert the eye, but he didn't give a hoot. He cocked an eyebrow at her, then turned to stride towards the VIP room.

He extended an arm gracefully, gesturing an invitation towards Bernard: "Mr. Laurence, how about a game?"

"Mr. Laurence, don't play with him!"

Fiman, Kenny, Jose, and Jeff popped out from the VIP room, trying to stop Bernard.

"He's the kingpin of the casino here; nobody has ever beat him." Fiman was the first to step forward, positioning Bernard behind him and trying to persuade Elbert to become a casino owner.

"Mr. Pine, you're a regular here, and it's Mr. Laurence's first time. Isn't it a bit bullyish of you to invite him to play?"

Elbert snorted at this.

"Fiman, are you trying to use your status as a casino owner to meddle with our game?"

"That's not what I mean."

"So, what do you mean, then?"

Fiman's expression turned icy.

"Mr. Pine, if you want to play with Mr. Laurence, fine, but let's not gamble; let's change the rules."

Elbert always won at gambling. Even though Bernard had just won a game, compared to Elbert, who was a regular in the casino, he was just small fry.

Everyone knew what kind of guy Elbert was; they couldn't just let Bernard get duped.

Seeing a group of young guys stand up for Bernard, all Elbert could do was sneer.

It was a sight to behold, seeing people actually help a cold guy like Bernard.

Elbert was still somewhat intimidated by Fiman; after all, he still relied on Fiman's family here, so he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, we'll change the game; I'll win no matter what anyway."

Elbert finished, turned, and gazed towards the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the hallway.

"How about a race?"

Bernard, holding Eleanor's hand, gave Elbert a cold glance.

"Are you sure?"

Racing was Bernard's specialty. He was crowned a top racer when he was only 18.

Elbert suggested a race with him; wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"Let's go!"

This was bad; Bernard had never been around motorcycles because he found them too noisy!

If they were racing motorcycles, he was definitely going to lose!

Elbert took off the helmet hanging on the motorcycle, strode over, mounted the bike, and shot a challenging look at Bernard.

"Let's go, Mr. Laurence!"

Seeing the two motorcycles, Eleanor felt a sense of danger and unconsciously tightened her grip on Bernard's hand.

Sensing her unease, Bernard squeezed back without uttering a word, just coldly watching Elbert.

"I have a condition."

"What?"

Elbert frowned, not quite getting Bernard's drift.

"If I win, I get to slap you twice."

Bernard's condition was that he didn't want Elbert's girl; he only wanted to slap him twice.

Did Bernard dislike him so much that he didn't even want the girl he offered; he just wanted to hit him?
