    Beard held Eleanor tight feeling the warmth of her body His heart was numb from the pain, and was


    just now starting to calm down,

    He slowly let go of Eleanor, looking at her soaked body, shivering from the cold. His heart ached again.


    should apologize if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be in this mess”


    “What are you talking about? Wew husband and wife. We share the good times and the bad”


    Eleanor finished, looking down at her hand only to find it covered in blood. She immediately turned pale


    “Your back wound must have opened. We need to get to an ambnce right away”


    She had thought it was seawater but it turned out to be blood. Her back wound must have reopened!


    Eleanor tightly held Remard’s hand and began leading him towards the walling ambnce However,


    Bernard abruptly pulled her back.


    “Eleanor, it’s just a minor injur” he assured her


    His attention then shifted to Gianna, who stood nearby. With determination in his eyes. Bernard


    commanded, “Arrest her and inform Mr. Penrod. Tell him to personallye and retrieve her or else


    she won’t


    Addressing Aidyn, he added. “Take care of it”Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Gianna understood that Me Law wouldn’t let her escape without consequences Seeing Aidyn


    appmach, she remainedposed, not showing much reaction


    On the other hand, as Eleanor and Elbert arrived, Gianna felt a sense of relief. As long as Eleanor was


    safe, she was willing to face any punishment.


    Aidyn politely “escorted” Gianna onto the waiting helicopter. Once the door closed, Gianna couldn’t


    help but inquire, “Where is Evan?”


    Aidyn looked at Gianna and gave a cold smile. “Ms Penrod, kidnappers usually don’t keep all the


    hostages in one ce”


    Heaning these words, Gianna sighed. She was once a kidnapper, now she was the hostage.


    After dealing with Gianna, Bernard was about to board the helicopter with Eleanor when azy voice


    sounded from behind.


    “Hey, I saved your wife and you’re just gonna walk away? Not even a thank you? That’s pretty rude,


    what do you think?”


    Bernard turned around, his icy gaze darkening when he saw the man leaning against a wall, smoking a


    cigarette


    “Elbert”


    Elbert lifted his chin slightly, his lips curling into a smirk, “Oh, you remember me How sweet”


    Bernard gripped Eleanor’s hand tighter. “Eleanor, he’s the one who saved you?”


    Eleanor nodded. “Yes, he saved me What’s the matter?”


    Bernard opened his mouth to say something but in the end, he just shook his head


    He looked away from Eleanor towards Elbert, “lowe you one”


    Elbert removed the cigarette from his mouth, crushed it under his heel, and gave Bernard a wicked


    grin.


    Silently, he gave Eleanor a scornful look before turning to leave Observing Elbert’s retreating form,


    Eleanor couldn’t help but express her gratitude, saying, “Thank you for your help today


    Elbert didn’t bother to look back, merely waving his hand dismissively, indicating that he didn’t require


    her thanks


    Witnessing Eleanors interaction with Elbert, Bernard’s demeanor softened, his eyshes trembling


    slightly. “Eleanor, he is the heir to the Pine family business. It’s best if you avoid him in the future. As for


    his assistance I will find a way to repay him”


    Eleanor looked up at Bernard her brow furrowed in confusion. “Why?”


    Bernard appeared lost in unpleasant memones, his gaze turning cold “The Laurence family and the


    Pine family have a deep–seated feud.”


    This conflict went beyond mere businesspetition. It was a full fledged war The Laurence family and


    the Pine family were bitter enemies
