Chapter 398


    Eleanor’s face turned red as a tomato, and just as she was about to p back at Hailey, she saw a


    familiar figure appear in the video


    The guy in the white suit snatched Hailey’s cigarette, put it out, and tossed it in the trash before looking


    down at her


    “How many times have I told you not to smoke? Why don’t you ever listen?”


    Eleanor was taken aback when she suddenly saw Cedric Laurence on the other end of the video


    And Hailey seemed even more surprised, apparently not expecting Cedric to show up at the club, let


    alone talk to her They hadn’t been in touch since their unpleasant encounter at the club, and it seemed


    like they had cut off all contact.


    But monthster, Cedric showed up at her club again, snatching her cigarette just like before


    This left Hailey a bit puzzled….


    Because she remembered seeing Cedric at the hospital with a beautifuldy going into the gynecology


    department


    His cautious movements clearly indicated he had gotten someone pregnant and was apanying


    her for an abortion


    Although Cedric changed girlfriends often, he was very focused during his rtionships. Since he


    already had a new me, why would hee looking for her Hailey was full of doubts, but Cedric


    showed no emotion, just nced at Eleanor in the video


    “Ms. Shultz, I need to borrow your best friend for a moment.”


    With that, he hung up the video call


    Eleanor stared at the screen as the call ended, slowlying back to her senses.


    The situation between Hailey and Cedric was bothplicated and simple


    Eleanor had asked Hailey for her opinion on Cedric, and she said it was just a brief affair


    But they had been together for three years was it really just a passing fling?


    Eleanor decided to leave matters of the heart to those directly involved, and put down her phone to


    head downstairs.


    Feeling like her body was falling apart these days, her legs were sore and aching as she went down


    the stairs.


    Taking it one step at a time, she slowly made her way to the living room, asking two maids about


    nearby stores.


    Seeing that she wanted to leave the vi, the maids quickly asked, “Mr. Shultz, what do you need? We


    can help you buy it


    Realizing that Bernard had instructed the maids not to let her leave alone, Eleanor didn’t argue just told


    them what she needed for painting The maids respectfully replied, “Ms. Shultz, all of these items can


    be found in the study You can just go there and take what you need

    Upon hearing that everything was in the study, Eleanor thanked the maids and headed in that direction.


    Pushing open the door to the study, she was amazed at the sight of the bookshelves and cabs.


    Bernard must be quite knowledgeable and fluent in manynguages, which had a lot to do with the


    cultural upbringing he received since childhood.


    Eleanor felt a tinge of envy, and after searching the bookshelves, she turned her attention to the row of


    cabs


    Opening them one by one and looking in each, she couldn’t find what she needed until she reached the


    veryst cab


    The top shelf of the cab was filled with all sorts of papers, pens, and rulers-everything she needed


    was right there.


    She picked out a few items and was about to leave but while closing the door, she noticed something


    familiar in the bottom of the cab


    Putting down the painting tools, Eleanor opened the bags and found her previously lost items


    her sister’s album, Pearce’s golden paintbrush, her bank card, and various sketches.


    When all these items appeared before her eyes, Eleanor waspletely stunned…
