Seeing his big sis leave, Cedric quickly asked Bernard, “Why’d you suddenly bail on us and dash into the mall?“.
His bolt had everyone on edge, all the bodyguards following him out and chasing after him.
Seeing all the bodyguards around, Cedric felt a tad relieved, but he was clueless as to what shook up Bernard.
Bernard didn’t answer, but there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
He’d spotted a silhouette that looked a lot like Eleanor, and couldn’t help but take a second look.
He happened to see Sophie heading into the mall. On impulse, he told the driver to stop the car and bolted after her, only to find it wasn’t her.
At that moment, he was breaking out in a cold sweat, relieved but haunted by the past. For the past three years, he’d been haunted by nightmares of the mall, the restroom, and her desperate face as she lay on the ground.
Just thinking about it brought on a storm of guilt that turned him pale.
Noticing Bernard lost in his past, Cedric didn’t dare push further. He just patted Bernard’s shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Hailey and Eleanor had bought loads of fruits.
On their way out of the mall, they bumped into Sophie.
Sophie went as white as a sheet when she saw Eleanor, like she’d seen a ghost. Eleanor, on the other hand, barely gave her a glance before leaving with Hailey.
Once outside, Hailey couldn’t hold back, “Eleanor, you should’ve slapped her right then and there!”
After putting the fruit in the car, Eleanor pointed at the man following Sophie, “She’s got bodyguards with her, I wouldn’t stand a chance Following Eleanor’s gaze, Hailey noticed the bodyguards and said, “The Ratliff Group’s been bought out by the Laurence Group, but she still living like a princess.”
Finishing her sentence, she looked at Eleanor with a pitiful expression, “Eleanor, when will it be my turn to live it up?”
Eleanor opened the car door, smiled at Hailey and said, “Let’s go. Ask god at the church, you never know,”
This made Hailey laugh, “Alright, I’ll make a wish. Maybe it’ll come true.”
