Chapter 1002
Right now, Bernard was swamped with work at the Lawrence Group, leaving Eleanor all by herself at
home.
Eleanor was in the middle of sketching some designs when Bryson told her that Cedric’s parents were
here. She immediately dropped her pencil
As she got up to head downstairs to the living room, she wondered why Cedric’s parents would
suddenly seek her out when they’ve had little interaction before
Latonia came from a well–off family, was backed by Jason, and was quite the looker. Her whole being
radiates an air of good upbringing, and even in her older age, she maintainws an elegance and
intellect. Her words were spoken gently, without a hint of
arrogance.
Seeing Eleanor, she smiled andplimentd her on her looks and taste in fashion. She also
mentioned the interior design of the Fiord Roundabout, saying it’s beyond anything international
designers could muster. She added that her brother has a manor that needed redecorating and invites
Eleanor to take on the design.
Eleanor caught on that Latonia needs a favor from her, and so she agreed to the request: “Thank you
for the business opportunity. I’ll take on your brother’s manor project. But there must be something else
you want to talk about, right? You didn’t juste here to pitch me a project, did you?”
“There is indeed something else I need your help with.”
After chatting for a while and downing several cups of coffee, Latonia awkwardly revealed her actual
intention: “Eleanor, could you perhaps have a word with Robin?”
Eleanor was taken aback by the request, “I’m not really tight with Robin, talking to him might not do any
good.”
She instinctively declined, but Latonia moved to sit next to her, gripping her hand tightly and patting it
gently.
“Sweetie, I know it’s a bit out of line to ask you to talk to him, but Robin told you to look after him
because he feels guilty that his family didn’t treat your mother right. He wants to use this opportunity to
get closer to you and make amends. So I’m thinking, if you talk to him, it might work.”
After saying this, Latonia added, “Of course, if you’re not willing, that’s fine too. We’ll figure out another
way.”
Everyone in the Laurence family knew about Robin revealing Eleanor’s identity in the past, but they all
chose to stay silent.
They did this to protect her, for which Eleanor was very grateful. Now, Cedric’s mother was tactfully
making a suggestion, not forcing
her.
She had been married into the Laurence family for quite some time, and aside from the initial
objections from her grandfather, everyone in the Laurence family had been good to her. With this in
mind, Eleanor nodded.
“Alright, I’ll give it a shot, but I can’t guarantee it’ll work.”
“That’s okay, it’s worth a shot”
This issue could have been easily resolved, but because it involves Robin, a big shot, it’s a bit of a
hassle.
If Eleanor could persuade him, then Bernard wouldn’t have to hand the project over to Robin.
After epting the invitation, Eleanor felt it might be inappropriate to go alone, so she called Sigrid and
asked Sigrid to apany
her.
Robin’s hospital room was located just above the floor where Cedric as. Since they were not far from
each other, Eleanor and Sigrid decided to visit Cedric first.
They found Cedric propped up in bed, engrossed in hisptop, obviously hard at work.
Eleanor and Sigrid didn’t want to disturb him too much, so they just left the things they had brought,
said a few words of care, and left
the room

As they headed towards the elevator, Sigrid, arm in arm with Eleanor, said: “These past few days, my
brother seems like apletely different person, always busy”
Eleanor knew this had something to do with Hailey, but she didn’t borate, simply responding:
“Bernard is willing to let him take over as president of Crystal Area, so of course he has to work
harder.”
Bernard said that thepany had a lot of business, and with Vice President Taylor Laurence about to
enter the North Fund market, there would be no one to manage Crystal Area, so they have to train
Cedric
Eleanor wasn’t sure why they need to train Cedric, but she knew that Bernard seemed to be distributing
important positions within thepany one by one.
This was a bit puzzling to Eleanor, as Bernard himself was fully capable of managing these positions,
and his current actions seemed like he was nning to step down soon.
Eleanor couldn’t figure it out, and Bernard wouldn’t give her any answers, so she stopped asking and
just hoped he would stay safe and by her side.
The two women, arm in arm, arrived at Robin’s hospital room. As they pushed open the door, they
caught Robin standing at the bathroom door, looking straight ahead, while his bodyguard Nathan was
crouched down, zipping up Robin’s suit pants…
The sight had the two people outside the door gobsmacked.
