A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 870

There's a whole bunch of people, all members of the Laurence family led by Blake.

These included relatives Cedric had mentioned and others Eleanor barely knew, having only seen them at the wedding.

The minute they laid their eyes on Eleanor, they were seething with hostility. They looked like they wanted to tear her into pieces right there and then.

Under such gazes, Eleanor started breaking out in a cold sweat, instantly soaking her clothes.

Blake, leaning on his cane, approached Eleanor, sizing her up with his sharp eyes.

“Should I call you Ms. Shultz, or Ms. Elena?”

Looks like Robin had spilled the beans.

Eleanor gripped her phone tightly, glancing back at Scott.

Scott, sitting in the car, had already sent a message to Bernard. Seeing Eleanor looking his way, he nodded at her immediately.

Taking the hint, Eleanor gathered her courage to face Blake again.

“Grandpa, let's go inside to talk.”

“No!”

Blake raised his hand to stop her. “Don’t call me grandpa.”

Despite her inner turmoil, Eleanor kept her composure and responded gently, “Then I'll just call you Blake.”

Blake scoffed dismissively, “Whatever you call me, it can't change the fact that you’re from the Pine family. You changed your name, got close to my grandson, schemed your way into becoming his wife. What are you up to? Are you seeking revenge against the Laurence family, or after our wealth?”

How could she divorce Bernard? How could she survive without him?

“Ms. Elena, do you know how many people the Laurence family lost because of the Pine family?”

He raised his cane, pointing at an old woman, “Her husband was killed by Jensen Pine.”

He then pointed at a young girl next to the old woman, “Her mother was killed by Jensen's son, Sheldon...”

Each time he pointed his cane, it was as if he was counting a lost life. His gaze swept across the courtyard, where everyone was a member of the Laurence family, all of them viewing the Pine family as mortal enemies.

Finally, Blake's cane landed on two portraits, “My son and daughter-in-law, they were just in G country for a project, but met with disaster in a foreign land.”

At this point, Blake's eyes turned red, filled with endless hatred. “It was the Pines who killed them, who killed my son. Do you think I can tolerate your presence?!”
