Eleanor was still curled up in the corner, not moving a muscle. She shivered slightly when he came in with the clothes.
Bernard glanced at her, didn’t dare to approach, just put the clothes on the couch next to her.
After he left, she turned her gaze to the clothes.
She threw off the blanket, picked up the clothes, put them on, and then went into the bathroom in the bedroom to wash her face.
She washed away the tear stains on her face, fixed her messy hair, and then came out of the room.
She saw Bernard standing by the floor–to–ceiling window, with the glow of the setting sun shining on him, casting a faint golden light on
him.
Hearing her move, he turned around and looked her up and down, focusing on her dress.
“White suits you better.”
Ever since she returned to her home country, she had been wearing red dresses, which did not match her image.
Eleanor said awkwardly, “I’ll take off.”
She then lowered her head and walked straight towards the door.
Bernard clenched his fists, and when she pushed the door open, he followed, “Let me walk you out.”
Eleanor turned to look at him, politely keeping her distance, “Thanks, but it’s fine.”
She turned around and shut the door, stood still for a few seconds, then resolutely walked towards the elevator.
Bernard, left in the mansion, watching the cold door close, felt a chill run down his spine..
He slumped onto the couch, looking around the empty room, feeling a piece of his heart missing.
God had taken her away from Garett and brought her to him, but he hadn’t cherished her.
The result now was all on him, no one else to blame.
After sitting for nearly an hour, he took out his phone and called Aidyn again.
“How’s the acquisition of the Clowers Group going?”
Aidyn was on a date, and upon hearing his words, quickly got up and left the restaurant.
“Mr. Laurence, the Clowers Group has wised up, they don’t agree to the acquisition or the investment, only cooperation.”
“Probably because of the previous investment, we took their shares, and now they’re fighting over the shares, each person has some shares, which makes us the second–largest shareholder, and they’ve become wary because of this.”
“And who’s the largest shareholder now?”
“Originally it was Jason’s cousin, but he got forced out and sold his shares to Jason’s uncle, the one who wanted to kill Jason before.”
“Send me his info.”
With a nonchalant order, Bernard hung up.
Aidyn went back to the restaurant, glanced at Liana, then at his date, and gave an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, something urgent came up, I need to get back to the office.”
Aidyn picked up his suit jacket from the chair and reminded, “Liana, make sure to send her home early.”
Liana awkwardly looked at the woman next to her who seemed a bit flustered.
“Dr. Naylor, my cousin is the special assistant to the president of the Laurence Group, he’s usually quite busy, hope you my apologies.”
