Eleanor was still shocked that Jason would actually stand up for her when she heard Brenda blaming her instead. Eleanor didn't want to pursue it originally, but when Ms. Mallory wrongly accused her, she couldn't help but get angry.
Just as she was about to argue with Brenda, she suddenly heard a cold voice from behind, "Has Ms. Mallory been learning to twist right and wrong at school these past few years?"
In the crowd, dressed in a black suit was the man standing under the light and exuding a somewhat cold atmosphere.
Hearing this, Eleanor knew it was Bernard and was grateful to him for standing up for her.
Bernard glanced at Jason holding Eleanor's hand, his expression ambiguous.
He walked down the steps and stood in front of Brenda.
"I just happened to be passing by when Ms. Mallory was humiliating someone." He replied coldly, and Brenda's face instantly changed.
She still wanted to argue, but Bernard swept her with his icy eyes.
Brenda had never seen such a terrifying gaze, even though his eyes were beautiful, the chill they emitted was enough to make her shiver.
Frightened, she immediately stopped any rebuttal and even forgot to how to breath.
Ryan finally realized his sister was in trouble and quickly rushed over.
Bernard gave him a cold glance. "The Mallory family does have good manners."
With that, he and Cedric left with their bodyguards.
Watching the two men walk away, Jason was a bit surprised that Bernard had stepped in to help them.
If he knew Bernard had been driven away by his daughter, he would definitely slap her hard enough to teach her a lesson.
Since her brother told her to apologize, Brenda had no choice but to reluctantly say to Eleanor, "Sorry."
Her clenched teeth and sullen expression made Jason very angry.
He wanted to say something else, but Eleanor stopped him, "Mr. Clowers, let's go."
Even though Brenda slapped Eleanor, she lost her reputation tonight. It was natural for her to feel hurt.
Eleanor didn't want to argue anymore and thought it was enough to teach her a lesson.
Today it was Eleanor who got slapped, but if she hit Jason’s fiancée, compensating with the entire Mallory family wouldn’t be enough.
