Chapter 711
Eleanor had bolted three times already, but each time she was tracked down and hauled back. Occasionally she would look over her shoulder at Gianna who was casually failing her
Deanor noticed Gianna was constantly on the phone seemingly discussing something Howeym, she wasn’t close enough to make out what she was saying, only catching Bernard’s name here and there
She had no clue it Bernard had agreed to their demands or what the current situation was All the knew was she didnt want to be a burden to him
Staring at the raging sea, she jumped in without a second thought after a few moments.
She had said before, if anyone tried to use her as leverage against Bernard she wouldn’t be his bunden
Glanna was busy trying to convince her adoptive father not to threaten Berard anymore. Seeing Eleanor jump into the sea she turned as white as a shee
“Eleanor” she screamed, dropping her phone and ready to dive in after her, but Elbert beat her to it
Elbert Jumped in and vigorously swam towards the figure being swept away by the waves
Gianna, still on the beach, could initially see two figures, one in front of the other, bobbing on the surface of the water.
But the waves were too high and the wind too strong, tossing them about until the two figures were lost from sight.
Witnessing this, Gianna felt her heart stop. She fell doomed
Just then, several helicopters appeared in the starry night sky.
The blinding lights from the helicopters illuminated the darkness
They landed one after the other on the beach with a thunderous noise
Bemard, weaning white gloves a gun m hand, and military boots briskly stepped out of the helicopter
The commanding auta radiating from this cool and noble man left Gianna’s men too scared to even move
The situation had taken an unexpected tum. Their plan had been to release Benard’s wife after Mr. Penrod and Mr. Law reached an agreement. How did things spiral out of control so quickly?
Mr. Law discovered that his wife had jumped into the sea, they would likely face dire consequences themselves. The realization left Gianna’s men increasingly frightened, their fear manifesting as cold sweat However they dared not make a move in front of Mr. Law.
Bernard scanned the area anxiously, unable to spot Eleanor instead he found Glanna kneeling on the beach, her head down, refusing to meet his gaze
Sensing something amiss. Bernard quickly approached her “Where is she?” he demanded, his voice tinged with restrained anger.
Gianna involuntarily shivered, not out of fear of Bemard, but due to the overwhelming guilt she felt for her actions, which seemingly led to Eleanor’s demise. “She, she jumped into the sea” she confessed
Bernard’s tall figure stiffened, as if he had misheard. He looked at Gianna in disbelief, questioning her, “What. what did you say?”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the beach, Elbert managed to swim to the shore, pulling Eleanor along. Choking on seawater, she began coughing intensely, as if the were about to cough up her lungs
Exhausted, Elbert collapsed onto the sand, gasping for air heavily
After catching their breath, Elben sat up and looked at Eleanor
“You cant escape. You should have asked for my help instead of trying to escape into the sea
Had it not been for his good swimming skills, she might have already drowned
Eleanor clutched her painful chest, not looking up to respond
“You’re Gianna’s friend, you wouldn’t help me.”
“Sister, how would you know I wouldn’t help if you didn’t ask?”
When she heard the word “sister“, she stopped wringing her clothes
Slowly, she lifted her head to look at Elbert
Under the moonlight, his mixed–race features were prominent and deep
Although he was soaking wet, his elegant demeanor remained unaffected
Staring at his face. Eleanor asked him, “Why do you call me sister?”
Elbert propped himself up with both hands behind him and raised an eyebrow at her, ‘It’s just a term of address Besides, I’m only twenty, there’s no way you’re older than me”
Though it was just a term of address. Eleanor strangely felt a sense of familiarity, as if the man sitting on the beach was truly like a
