Chapter 260


    Chapter 260


    Bernard let out a sarcasticugh, his eyes filled with self mockery.


    He tried to suppress the suffocating pain in his heart, picked up the wine ss, and downed it once


    again


    His s*y Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed the pain and alcohol together.


    Apparently, the alcohol couldn’t numb the pain, so Bernard simply put down the ss and stumbled to


    the second floor.


    Watching his cold and aloof figure, Cedric suddenly felt that his grandfather was right – it’s best not to


    get involved with emotions.


    Bernard had been taught not to fall in love since he was a child, but he ended up being the one who fell


    the hardest. Cedric, on the other hand, didn’t care about love at all.


    Cedric swirled his wine ss, nced at the worried Aidyn, and asked, “Bernard knows that Ms. Shultz


    is still alive, but he’s still so down. Did he try to get back together with her, only to get rejected?”


    Aidyn withdrew his worried gaze and nodded at Cedric, “Ms. Shultz seems to be disappointed in Mr.


    Laurence.


    He didn’t say that Ms. Shultz didn’t love Mr. Laurence, as he always felt that she had loved him.


    In the past, every time he picked up Ms. Shultz, she would have a bright smile on her face.


    Ms. Shultz knew that Mr. Laurence had a weak stomach, so she would make soup for him and ask


    Aidyn to deliver it secretly.


    She was always docile and considerate when she was with Mr. Laurence,


    In fact, they often spent time together at No.8 Mansion, and their rtionship seemed quite warm and


    harmonious.


    However, asionally, Mr. Laurence would suddenly get angry and leave, then give Ms. Shultz the


    cold shoulder for a long


    Aidyn didn’t know the reason and never dared to ask Mr. Laurence. They carried on like this for five

    time.


    When Mr. Laurence decided to end their agreement, Ms. Shultz didn’tin and even returned the


    money she had received from selling herself to him. She did this to show Mr. Laurence that she was


    with him, not for the money.


    Mr. Laurence didn’t react on the surface, but when he saw the things Ms. Shultz left behind at the


    mansion, he immediately asked Aidyn to call her and ask her toe back for them.


    He called, hoping to see Ms. Shultz, but she said she didn’t want them and promptly deleted their


    contact information.


    Mr. Laurence panicked and called several times, only to confirm that he had been deleted. He then sat


    in a daze for a long time.


    Later, Mr. Laurence mistakenly thought Ms. Shultz had found a new sugar daddy, and his panic turned


    into a loss of control. Not only did he fail to win. back Ms. Shultz, but he also drove her away.


    Then Jason’s appearance caused Mr. Laurence to be even more irrational and do even worse


    things to Ms. Shultz.


    After Ms. Shultz and Mr. Laurence cleared the air at the vi, Mr. Laurence intended to let her go.


    However, unexpectedly, Mr. Laurence identally hurt Ms. Shultz while trying to protect her, causing


    her to die prematurely.


    Perhaps it was these events that made Ms. Shultz extremely disappointed in Mr. Laurence.


    Aidyn had told Mr. Laurence about Ms. Shultz’s feelings for him when he was angry, but he didn’t


    believe it.


    Now that they were in this situation, it seemed they were simply not meant to be. Maybe Ms. Shultz


    was never destined to belong to Mr. Laurence.


    Cedric snapped his fingers in front of him to bring him back to reality, “Tell Bernard that since he’s


    already been rejected, he should let her go and stop pushing.”


    As the head of the Laurence family, how could he lower himself again and again for a woman?


    Aidyn sighed helplessly, “Mr. Laurence, if even you can’t persuade him, I don’t stand a chance.”


    Cedric sneered at him, “Anyway, this is your responsibility now. I don’t want to see Bernard like this


    ever again.”
