Chapter 465


    Eleanor looked around the spacious office, her heart suddenly pounding.


    It was as if her sister’s fiery spirit was boiling within her, making her nod in agreement with Pearce’s


    suggestion.


    “Alright…”

    Just as she finished speaking, the sound of cars rolling over the pavement came from downstairs.


    About a dozen luxury cars, led by a Koenigsegg, parked right outside.


    Bodyguards in ck suits got out of the cars, forming two lines and standing on either side of the


    building.


    From inside the Koenigsegg, Aidyn quickly got out, walked over to the passenger side, and opened the


    door for the extremely distinguished man inside.


    Under the sunlight, the man had a slender figure and delicate facial features.


    He wore gold–rimmed sses, which concealed his thick eyshes.


    The man standing by the car door had ditched his usual ck suit and white shirt for a royal blue one.


    The tailor–made, extravagantly expensive blue made the man appear noble, exuding elegance and


    grace with every move.


    He slightly tilted his perfect chin, looking towards the second floor, and pushed up his sses with a


    finger.


    Eleanor, peeking out the window, suddenly thought of the phrase “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” when she


    saw this gesture.


    Pearce, standing beside her, seemed to hear her thoughts and angrily added, “A beast in human


    clothing!”


    Eleanor turned her head in surprise, looking at Pearce, “Why is he here?”


    With his dislocated arm, Pearce pointed at the man downstairs and said, “Why? He’s here to hit on


    chicks!”


    After saying this, Pearce nced meaningfully at Eleanor, whose eyes were downcast, “Stop hiding,


    he’s here for you!”


    Eleanor wanted to argue, but there was nothing to say. She looked away from the window and stepped


    back.


    With his client–first mentality, Pearce briefly exined, “Bernard is here to sign a contract,” before


    heading downstairs to greet him.


    Leading eight designers, Pearce dropped his anger and put on a ttering smile as he approached


    Bernard,


    “Mr. Laurence, hello!”


    Pearce bowed slightly and gestured for Bernard to follow,


    “Mr. Laurence, pleasee with me. My boss is upstairs, eagerly awaiting your arrival.”


    Selling out his boss for the sake of business didn’t seem like a big deal. After all, the three of them had


    an unspoken understanding.


    Bernard’s gaze slowly moved away from the second–floor window and casually swept over Pearce.


    The light reflecting from his sses, coupled with the coldness in his eyes, made Pearce shiver


    involuntarily.


    Did Bernard hear him calling him ‘a beast in human clothing” from upstairs?


    As he pondered this, Bemard confidently strode into Cornerstone Construction Co.


    Just as Pearce was about to follow, Aidyn brushed past him and coldly nced at him,


    “Mr. Hooper, your smile is kind of ugly.”


    If he wanted to insult him, why did he have to be so polite, even adding “Mr. Hooper“? Annoyed,


    Pearce clenched his fists, caught up with Bernard, and led him to the second floor.


    Eleanor, sitting at her desk, slowly raised her head as she heard the office door open.


    Bernard strode in from outside.


    Pearce, who was behind, also wanted to enter, but before he could take a step, he saw a man inside


    with his back turned, who closed the door with a kick.
