Chapter 610


    Eleanor had never met Bernard’s granddad ke But, she had heard plenty about him


    Word had it that ke was so powerful during his time, even the Big Four in the M Continent had to


    give him a wide barth


    His determination and decisiveness had made the Laurence Group a powerhouse in markets


    worldwide


    Now, such a big shot suddenly came looking for her. It was likely that he was here to discuss her


    marriage


    Eleanor quessed that was why he was here, and she was both nervous and scared But she put on a


    brave face, got herself together, and went downstairs to meet him


    ke was wearing a suit that fit him like a glove. He leaned on a cane and stood tall in the living room


    Despite being 75, this old man looked youthful, full of vim and vigor. There was a cold aura about him


    Eleanor could feel his presence even before she got close to him. She needed to muster the courage,


    firm up her nerves, and step up to him.


    “Grandpa ke


    She greeted him politely Only then did ke shift his attention from the surroundings to her. His gaze


    was calm and deep, as if he was scanning Eleanor from head to toe Eleanor felt his cold stare, and it


    was making her nervous. But she kept her coul and didn’t show any fear. Seeing that ke stayed


    silent, she suggested they sit down, “Grandpa ke, why dont we sit down and have a chat?”


    She motioned for him to take a seat on the couch, but he waved her off. “No need. I’ll just say a few


    words and then I leave,”


    ke’s voice was hoary, but it was still strong andpelling You had to obey his wish.


    Eleanor had no choice but to retract her hand and look up at the tall ke, “Grandpa ke, is there


    something you’d like to tell me?”


    She didn’t directly ask why he was looking for her, but asked what he wanted to tell her, as a sign of


    respect


    Hearing this, a hint of disdain in ke’s eyes faded slightly. He looked at Eleanor and asked, “On the


    night Bernard proposed to you, all the elders of the Laurence family were invited.Do you know why we


    didn’t attend?”


    Eleanor got his point, but she pretended not to know and shook her head, “Grandpa ke, please do


    tell.”


    ke straightened up and said coldly, “I don’t approve of your marriage”


    Hearing his intention, Eleanor felt a sense of relief, “Grandpa ke, all decisions about my marriage to


    Bernard are made by him. If you disagree, please discuss it with him.”


    She and Bernard had gone through a lot. Now, at this final stage, they were facing opposition from the


    elders. This was beyond her control. All she could do was hand it over to Bernard ke didn’t expect


    that this seemingly prim and proper youngdy could stay cool under his pressure and even throw the


    ball back in his court.


    He sized up Eleanor again. This woman must have known that he had voiced his opposition to their


    marriage in front of Bernard. That was why she dared to suggest he discuss it with Bernard. This


    woman seemed to have deep thoughts. No wonder his grandson was so smitten with her.


    ke dropped his disdain and became wary. “Ms Shultz, my grandson is head over heels for you. He


    will definitely marry you, so dont try to fob me off with him. Let’s be straightforward with each other”


    Eleanor noted his tone getting serious and her heart raced, ‘

    Before she could respond, the old man cut her off, I won’t beat around the bush. As an elder, I just


    have a few questions for you.”


    Eleanor tightened her grip and nodded, “Sure, sir. Fire away”


    -ke raised a finger and asked Eleanor, ‘First question, does your background match up to my


    grandson’s?”
