Chapter 417


    They all split from the slums in a ride, parking it in a non–surveilled spot behind the hotel.


    After Bernard and Gianna whipped off their masks and tossed them to Caleb, they booked it out of the


    car and into the hotel.


    They hit up an elevator with its surveince already being tampered with, and then darted through a


    special passageway back to their rooms.


    The second the door was shut, nna made a beeline for Bernard.


    “Thanks for stepping up for my brother and squaring things away with HQ, I wouldn’t have been able to


    handle it on my own”

    “Also, with my special status, I’m probably on someone’s radar. Thanks for ying house with mest


    night and creating an alibi.”


    Bemard didn’t have time to chit–chat and turned to leave through the front door.


    “Mr. Laurence, hold up.”


    Gianna, in her high heels, came over and said, “We’re under investigation both home and abroad these


    days. My brother wanted me to remind you not to blow your cover, not even to those you trust most.”


    Bernard “Would anyone be investigating you if he hadn’t messed with Robin Spencer?


    Gianna was left speechless by his retort. This time, it was indeed her brother who had provoked Robin.


    Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn’t push further, just nodded at Bernard, “I apologize, we’ll be


    more careful.”


    Bernard bolted downstairs, strutted through the lobby, and made his way to the car parked in front of


    the hotel under everyone’s watchful eyes.


    Once the servants were gone, Eleanor got up from the bed, stripped off her soaked clothes in the


    bathroom, and took a shower.


    She cleaned herself up, treated the wound on her palm, changed into her own clothes and headed


    downstairs to the study.


    She opened thest row of bookshelves and took out a pile of stuff to put on the ss table in the living


    room.


    She sat on the couch, waiting quietly for Bernard’s arrival…


    Not muchter, a car pulled up in front of the mansion.


    A tall man got out of the car and walked towards the mansion.


    Seeing Eleanor in the living room, he immediately felt at ease.


    Despite being sleep–deprived for four days, he couldn’t help but smile.


    He adjusted his mindset and walked towards Eleanor with a smile.


    “Eleanor…”


    He walked up to her and was about to hug her, but she dodged him.


    She was cold and polite as if seeing a stranger, “Since you’re back, we need to clear some things up.”


    Bernard’s face changed, and his heart, which had just settled down, became restless again.


    He frowned, looking at Eleanor confused, “Eleanor, are you mad because I didn’t home on time


    yesterday?”


    He knelt in front of her on one knee and exined, “I have a team in Europe. Some stuff went down


    with the teamst night, that’s why I couldn’t get back on t did call you to tell you. But you didn’t pick


    up…”


    Eleanor thought of those unknown calls from W City, she originally thought they were prank calls, but it


    turned out they were from him.
