Chapter 871


    ke’s next words came out as a roar, showing just how much he despised the Pine family. But


    Eleanor was so Innocent. She had never even met the elders of the Pine family, yet she was the first to


    face the family’s hatred.


    “ke, I get your pain and sympathize with all that you guys have been through, but this has nothing to


    do with me, I haven’t.”


    She wanted to say that she wasn’t part of it, but suddenly, ke’s cane came crashing down towards


    her. He moved so fast that Eleanor couldn’t dodge in time and her small arm took the full force of the


    blow. The old man tried to swing again, but before his cane couldnd, it was caught by a hand.


    Scott snatched the cane away, rested it on his knee and snapped it in half.


    “I’m here, anyone who tries to bully ma’am will have to go through me first!”


    Scott had thought that ke, at least, was a reasonable old man, but he was shocked to see him lose


    his rationality andsh out at Eleanor


    Caught off guard, Scott was a step toote when ke swung the first time, leaving Eleanor to bear

    Initially, ke held reservations about Eleanor’s suitability for his grandchild. Nevertheless, he chose to


    honor Bernard’s wishes and allowed their marriage to proceed. In a surprising turn of events, he


    epted Eleanor’s wedding invitation and attended the ceremony.

    you guyse in and sit for a while. Wait for Bernard toe back from work and then ask for his


    opinion. Divorce isn’t something you can just talk about and it’s done”


    Whether Bernard would agree or not, ke knew well. That’s why he came to Eleanor in advance,


    “Divorce isn’t just talk. But if you agree to divorce, I can make him. agree.”
