Chapter 709


    Gianna stopped putting up a fight and Eleanor started using her emotional appeal


    “Ms Penrod, you know Bernard has only ever cared about me”


    “Holding my friends hostage isn’t doing you any good Why put innocent people through this?


    Gianna looked into Eleanor’s clear, bright eyes for a moment, then waved her hand dismissively “Fine


    as long as you’re here” She made a call, and after the other end hung up and gave her a slight nod,


    she exined to Eleanor


    “Your trends don’t know they’ve been kidnapped I just stirred up some trouble for them No need to


    mention this when you go back

    So that’s why Hailey left early in the morning and Liana didn’t make it to the vi They weren’t


    kidnapped, they just fell into a trap set by Gianna’s people


    3 2 2 3 2 3 2


    But ording to Gianna, if she didn’te the trappers would definitely harm Hailey and the others


    Gianna only chose the softer approach out of consideration for Bemard. Otherwise, it would be more


    convenient to just kidnap them directly.


    But no matter who Ganna was considering or what she was thinking, it didn’t matter anymore


    What mattered was that Hailey and the others were safe and she could start looking for a way to


    escape.


    Eleanor assessed her surroundings, taking note of the bustling club surrounded by buildings and


    throngs of people Trying to navigate through the crowd and reach the highway seemed like an


    impossible fest However she noticed that the standalone restroom next to the club appeared


    unguarded.


    She nced at the restroom for a moment before turning to face Gianna With a calm expression, the


    stated. “I need to use the restroom.”


    Given that everyone present was under Ganna’s watchful eye. Gianna didn’t express any concern


    about Eleanor attempting to escape. She simply nodded and replied. “Go ahead”


    Eleanor began making her way towards the restroom. As she stepped onto the staircase, she


    identally collided with someoneing down. The man swiftly reached out and steadied her


    shoulder, his voice camying a maic and rxed tone as he spoke. “Miss, where were you rushing


    to**


    Eleanor looked up at him, straight into a pair of calm eyes


    Those eyes seemed somewhat familiar at the sight of her


    Having seen the handsome Bernard, Eleanor didn’t react much to the stunning man in front of her


    She quickly averted her gaze and apologized to him “Im sorry, I was lost in thought and didn’t notice


    you”


    She tried to sidestep him and head to the women’s restroom, but he grabbed her arm again.


    Eleanor instinctively shook off his hand and said sternly. “Sir, Ive already apologized, what more do you


    want?”


    Her defensiveness made the man raise his hands, indicating that he was just nervous. “I just wanted to


    ask your name”


    Was he hitting on her?


    No, everyone here was Giannas people How could this man not know who she was?


    Seeing her confusion, the man shrugged and exined “Ms Penrod invited me to the party I don’t know


    everyone”


    Gianna had just said that she was originally nning to throw a singles party, but changed her mind


    due to an unexpected assignment


    So, this good looking man didn’t know that Team S was on a mission. He was just here for the party.


    Realizing this, Eleanor didn’t feel anything special. She nced at the man and said. Tm married, so


    please don’t get any ideas”


    With that, she walked away, but heard the man’sughter from behind. “Miss. I just thought you looked


    familiar. I didn’t have any intentions. Besides, your figure and looks don’t appeal to me.”
