    Eleanor struggled to get down, but Bernard wasn’t having it.


    He carried her out of the hospital and straight into his car


    “WCity isn’t safe right now. I’ll take you home.”


    Bernard buckled her seatbelt and signaled the driver to get out.


    The driver who had been dispatched by a subsidiary wasn’t familiar with Mr. Laurence’s ways and was


    a bit lost.


    It took him a few nces at Eleanor to realize that the boss was wooing her, so he hurriedly got out of


    the car.


    Bernard shot the driver a frosty look “You don’t need toe anymore.”


    The driver stood dumbfounded. Did he mean not to drive anymore or not toe to thepany?


    Watching the car drive away, he puzzled over it for a while before it hit him.


    “Oh crap, I’m fired!”


    Bernard started the car, backed out with one hand, and once he was out of W City, he turned to


    Eleanor and asked, “Where do you live?”


    Eleanor didn’t want him to drop her off, but Bernard had always been a one man show


    He did whatever he wanted, and she had no right to refuse


    She gripped the seatbelt tightly, and reluctantly told him her hotel address


    Bernard nced at Eleanor through the rearview mirror and didnt like the sullen look on her face


    He forced himself not to look at her anymore, gripped the steering wheel and swiftly drove her to the


    hotel entrance


    As Eleanor got out of the car, she turned and said. “Thank you. Mr. Laurence”


    Her polite but distant manner caused Bernard to frown slightly, but he didn’t say anything, and just


    handed her the purse she’d left behind the night before Eleanor took the purse, thanked him again,


    closed the car door, and hurried into the hotel


    As soon as she got off the elevator, she heard Pearce’s panicked voice


    “Here’s her ID, take it and find her for me, and find Theo””


    Pearce handed the ID over to the police


    Allthe valuables in our room have been stolen, everything else doesn’t matter, but my gold paintbrush


    must be found!”


    Pearce had always kept his cool, but after a series of disasters, even he was falling apart


    His handsome face was twisted with anger, his eyes wide, he looked somewhat terrifying


    “Pearce”


    Eleanor quickly approached him, furrowing her brows. “What happened?”


    Pearce was shocked to see her safe and sound. “Werent you taken by Theo’s people?*


    Hed seen a man carrying Eleanor away from the banquet hall the night before and hadn’t gotten a


    good look at his face.


    Worried for Eleanor’s safety, he chased after them, but the luxury car took off at a high speed


    The driver, seeing his urgency, even tried to extort him


    Hed been ripped off arge sum of money and the car was slow By the time he’d spent all his cash, the


    stretch limo was long gonel


    He was furious and guessed that Theo had sent someone to take her away.


    He rushed to the space agency and got Theo’s home address, but Theo’s wife told him that Theo


    hadn’t returned home but had gone to a banquet This made him even more certain that it


    was Theo


    Unable to find Theo, he had to return to the hotel, intending to report to the police with his ID, only to


    find that all the valuables in both suites had gonel


    He checked the hotel’s surveince footage and saw a few people climbing through the window and


    taking everything, even the bank cards were gone Thankfully, their passports were still there,


    otherwise, they would have had trouble getting back homel


    After finishing his story, Pearce looked at Eleanor “How did you get back?”


    Being taken away in a foreign country usually meant either being vited or disappearing, it was


    incredible that she was able to return unharmed


    Eleanor simply exined that she’d run into an acquaintance, then pushed past him and hurried into


    her room.


    The theft of the items was trivial, but Emilia’s album, which was not only invaluable but also of great


    significance, couldn’t be stolen


    The cute was a mess, clothes from the suitcase were thrown all over the floor, and the bed was turned


    upside down


    Eleanor quickly walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and sure enough, the album and sketches


    were gone.
