Chapter 775


    Bernard gave Elbert a hell of a smack that left his face sporting a five finger souvenir


    Elbert hit the deck and, after a few seconds, lifted his head to look up at the towering powerful figure of


    Berard


    Elbert’s face was now a lovely shade of lobster.


    Well, this was a fine mess. His first time getting smacked, and by his nemesis no less This wasn’t a


    fight, it was a one sided p fest.


    Talk about a real kick in the pants!


    Elbert felt mortified, looking around, hoping nobody saw him.


    Before he could even get a good look around another power pnded on his face.


    He didn’t even have time to catch his breath before the second p hit, leaving him seeing stars”


    And why the heck was Bernard only smacking his right cheek? Couldn’t he switch it up a bit? Getting


    smacked in the same spot was making him see stars!


    Just as Elbert was about to blow a gasket, Bernard’s hand rose again, this time aiming for Elbert’s left


    cheek.


    p! If once wasn’t enough, he went in for another


    Bernard’s look seemed to say, “There, happy now?”


    Bernard had said he would only p him twice, but he went ahead and added two more for good


    measure. This left Elbert ready to explode!


    He clenched his fists, ready to go a few rounds with Bernard.

    But before he could even get up, he was kicked right back down to the ground.


    Elbert tried to get up again, but Bernard’s leg was holding him down, making it impossible to move.


    Bernard was standing on Elbert’s chest, his elbow resting on his knee, looking down at him with a cold


    gaze


    “The first p was for Eleanor,” he said “The second one was because I don’t like your face”


    Elbert didn’t get it, he felt like Bernard was taking advantage of him, and it pissed him off.


    “You said two ps, I took them. But what gives you the right to p me two more times?”


    Bernard chuckled. His eyes suddenly held a chilling glint


    “You took my wife without my permission. That’s why.”


    Bernard patted Elbert’s now–swollen face.


    “You should thank your lucky stars. I was in such a hurry to chase the car that I took off my studded


    gloves. Or else your face would’ve been a real mess.”


    With those final words, Bernard kicked Elbert away, turned, and held out his hand to Eleanor.


    “Eleanor, let’s go home.”


    Eleanor gave a small nod, and after a few steps, she turned back to look.


    That twenty–year–old boy, who cared about his dignity, was trying to get up from the ground. He looked


    around, relieved no one saw him get pped. But he was still ring at Bernard.


    He caught Eleanor ncing back at him. Their eyes met.


    Eleanor saw his swollen face and burst intoughter.


    And he, seeing her smile, could only stand there, dumbfounded.


    That smile seemed familiar, like he had seen it somewhere before.


    Elbert thought about it but couldn’t remember.


    All he remembered was seeing a photo in his dad’s drawer when he was a kid.


    He couldn’t remember if the person in the photo had the same smile as Eleanor.


    All he remembered was his father telling him that the woman in the photo was his aunt, Vanya Pine.


    He wasn’t sure if Eleanor looked like Vanya, but the familianty was undeniable.


    Sadly, his grandparents had destroyed the photo. Otherwise, he could’vepared the two


    Elbert watched Eleanor for a while She reminded him of Vanya in the photo. And then it hit him. Robin


    Spencer was looking for Vanya’s daughter.


    Could Eleanor be Vanya’s daughter?
