Chapter 1254


    Eleanor watched Peterson disappear behind the study door, and immediately lowered her voice to


    Pearce, “Mr. Hooper, Peterson’s very cautious, keep your guard up.”


    Pearce rubbed his wrist, nonchntly replying, “That’s how these people roll. If you act too careful, it’ll


    only make him more suspicious. So just chill.”


    Having dealt with more big families on project surveys than Eleanor, Pearce’s experience was far


    richer.


    Taking his words to heart, Eleanor began to rx, and started observing the surroundings.


    The house was modestly designed, it didn’t seem overly luxurious, rather more like a typical well-off


    family home.


    The only thing that stood out were the vintage photos on the wall.


    They looked really old, and each one was only half a photo.


    It was like when she misunderstood Garett back in the day, she cut out his half of the photo with


    scissors, leaving only her and Hailey.


    The man in the photos bore some resemnce to Peterson. Judging by the age of the photos, the man


    should be Yates.


    And the owner of this house was Yates’ first love, so the person who cut the photos should be


    Peterson’s first love.


    Eleanor was a bit puzzled. Why only leave Yates’ photos in her own house, but cut out her own?


    Pearce leaned in and whispered, “There’s one more secret, Peterson just said his grandma passed


    away, but he’s lying.”


    Eleanor frowned in surprise, “His grandma didn’t die?”


    Pearce shook his head, “His grandma did die, but she wasn’t his real grandma. As for who his real


    grandma is, I’m not sure.”


    Eleanor said in disbelief, “You’re not even sure yourself, why tell me?”


    Pearce shrugged, “Isn’t it juicy?”


    Eleanor scoffed, “You don’t even know who Peterson’s real grandma is, and you dare call it juicy?”


    Pearce scratched his head, “Let me think… Ethan did tell me, but I was ying a game at the time,


    didn’t catch it clearly…”


    Ethan always thoroughly checked every project Emilia took on, to avoid dealing with the bad apples in


    the Sharp family, hence he knew in detail about every project.


    Ethan was a pro at digging up info, he could uncover not only family secrets, but even minor past


    events.


    Back then, Ethan would tell Pearce the stories behind each project, but Pearce was always too busy


    with his games.


    Pearce thought hard, and finally remembered a name, “I think it’s… Andonisus…”


    Eleanor frowned, That’s weird name.”


    Pearce thought for a while, thenughed awkwardly, “Sorry, that’s the name of a hero in the game I


    y.”


    Then, he mimicked a move from the game, “Andonisus, Reaper of Souls.”


    Eleanor was speechless…


    After chatting with the unreliable Pearce for a while, footsteps came from upstairs.


    “Ms. Elena, could youe up, my grandfather wants to see you alone.”


    Eleanor and Pearce exchanged looks.


    “Usually, when discussing style with the project party, I need Mr. Hooper to take notes.”


    Peterson, one hand on the banister, slightly bowed his head to look at Eleanor looking up at him, “Ms.


    Elena, let’s go with my grandfather’s request.”


    His tone was gentle, but it carried a sense of authority, the innate oppressive aura of a family heir.


    Eleanor hesitated on the sofa for a couple of seconds, opened her toolbox, took out a notebook, then


    went upstairs.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Watching Eleanor going alone to meet the project party, Pearce felt really nervous, wondering if


    Bernard would me him if anything went wrong.
