Chapter 92


    A vicious glint suddenly appeared in Bernard’s eyes, his cold gaze piercing like a frosty chill, making


    people shiver all over.


    He slightly moved his thin lips, about to ask something more when Sophie walked in from outside,


    “Bernard, I knew I’d find you here!”


    Jason nced back at Ms. Ratliff, then said to Bernard, “I won’t bother you having dinner with your


    girlfriend.”


    His words were dripping with sarcasm, as Bernard had just mocked him for bringing his girlfriend to the


    bidding conference.


    Although the Laurence Group was the party A in this project, Jason was confident in winning the


    development rights, so he wasn’t worried about offending Bernard.


    After that, Jason turned and went to get some food.


    Sophie was about to ask Bernard if he wanted to have dinner together, but she saw him suddenly


    be indifferent and walked quickly towards the entrance of the restaurant.


    His change made Sophie a bit unhappy. She found that ever since she returned to the country, Bernard


    seemed to be more and more distant from her.


    When Jason came back with a te, he found Eleanor dozing on a single sofa.


    She was hugging a pillow with her long eyshes covering her clear eyes. Jason thought she was


    sleeping soundly and couldn’t bear to disturb her, but he also worried she might be ufortable, so


    he bent down and picked her up.


    At that moment he held her, a lot of images shed through Jason’s mind, as if he had held her like this


    before.


    He looked down at her peaceful face and felt Eleanor used to belong to him.


    But he couldn’t recall anything about her, the more he thought about it, the worse his headache


    became.


    That pain was like countless bugs gnawing furiously in his mind.


    He tried to catch those fragments, but they were devoured bit by bit by the bugs, leaving nothing.


    This made him so painful that his face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. But he


    still held the person in his arms tightly, reluctant to let go.


    As if letting go would mean losing her, a feeling so painful he could hardly bear it.


    Not until a knock on the door came from outside did hee to his senses, somewhat embarrassed,


    putting Eleanor back on the sofa. He said, “Come in.”

    Only after hearing his voice did the vice president push the door in, “Mr. Clowers, the bidding has


    begun. We should hurry in.”


    “Wasn’t it supposed to start at 2 pm?” Asked Jason.


    “It was originally scheduled for 2 pm, but the Laurence Group just informed us to start earlier.”


    Answered the vice president.


    Jason frowned. It was absurd that such arge group like the Laurence Group could change the time


    so casually.


    “Let’s hurry up. Someone from the Laurence Group just said that if anyone doesn’t arrive, they will be


    eliminated directly.” The vice president was quite worried.


    “Only they would dare to do such a thing.” Jason sneered and was about to leave, but he looked back


    at


    Eleanor one more time.


    “Should we wake up Ms. Shultz?” The vice president asked.


    “No need.” Jason took off his coat and put it over Eleanor’s petite body.


    He just turned around and walked towards the conference with the vice president.


    Eleanor, once asleep, could be hard to be woken up. She felt her cheek being pped several times,


    and finally opened her eyes in a daze. Her vision was still blurry, only vaguely seeing a figure in front of


    her.


    “Mr. Clowers, is that you?” As soon as she asked this, she was suddenly picked up.


    Feeling dizzy, a handsome face appeared in front of her eyes.


    “Look closely!” Hearing this icy voice, Eleanor finally sobered up.


    The person in front of her was not Jason, but Bernard!
