Chapter 1287


    A chill ran down Eleanor’s spine as she listened, her skin going cold and her face draining of color. Mr.


    Ben hadn’t revealed Bernard’s identity, but thetent threat was there.


    Eleanor steadied herself, pulling her car over to the side of the road before turning to Robin. “You said


    Area Opaca is using Bernard as bait to lure me into ying their game, right?”


    Robin nodded, “What’s wrong?”


    Eleanor slowly clenched her hands, “Bernard once told me that Mr. Ben and Sophie have a list of


    members from the Siren Organization. Sophie and I had a personal feud before. Could she be the one


    who’s trying to lure me in?”


    Robin was aware of Sophie’s past with Bernard, “Remove the ‘could be’. She is the one trying to lure


    you in. Do you dare to go?”


    Eleanor didn’t care about her own safety, only Bernard’s, “If Bernard is still alive, would Sophie use me


    as a leverage against him?”


    Robin pondered for a moment, shaking his head, “If Bernard is alive and hasn’te back yet, he’s


    already caught in the web. Regardless of whether you go or not, they can use you against Bernard. My


    guess is that Sophie is luring you in to get revenge on you. Whether Bernard is dead or alive, she’s


    betting that you’d go for him. That’s why you received the golden leaf.”


    Eleanor understood. Sophie was targeting her. But how did Sophie get into Area Opaca? And how did


    she connect with Mr. Ben? Bernard hadn’t told her any of these. Eleanor was still trying to piece


    everything together. For now, she needed to make her decision.


    Seeing her silence, Robin’spoke, “She hates you because you stole her fiancé. If you go, she’ll


    definitely use Ace’s power to get rid of you. It’s best if you don’t go.” Eleanor gripped the steering wheel


    tighter, “They were never engaged. There was no fiancé to steal. And didn’t you say that Area Opaca


    doesn’t randomly kill?” Robin replied calmly, “It depends on Sophie’s rank in Ace and whether she has


    the list of Siren Organization members. But ording to Evan, Ace is a ce of strict rules. The person


    behind the scenes won’t allow any chaos. Unless you make a wrong choice during the game, she can’t


    harm you. But Bernard might already be dead. Do you really want to take this risk for an unknown


    oue?”


    Eleanor retorted, “What about you? You’ve seen Caleb’s remains, you know the truth about his death


    from Evan, yet you’re still following me. Aren’t you also risking everything for the unknown?”


    Robin’s eyes shifted, but he remained silent. Caleb was already dead, he knew that. But he wanted to


    see it for himself, to tell Katharine the truth. Of course, a big part of it was because…


    Robin nced at Eleanor’s face, his eyes unreadable. As he stayed silent, Eleanor’s soft voice filled


    the car,” Bernard and I have been through so much together. We cherish each other deeply. Now, the


    man I love has disappeared, and there are even reports of his death. I can’t just sit at home and do


    nothing. I’ve been waiting for him for too long.”


    “I’ve been waiting for him since I fell in love with him. At first, was waiting for him to tell me he loves me,


    then to marry me, then toe home. Now, I have to wait to see if he’lle back alive. Can I really


    keep waiting? I’ve already waited for more than three months.”


    Her tone was calm, but her words were filled with helplessness and a tinge of pain. Robin didn’t


    respond. He simply tightened his grip on his hands resting on hisp.

    “So, whether Sophie is trying to get at me or not, I’ll go. I believe Ace is a ce of rules. I also believe


    my luck will turn around. I’ve had enough bad luck in my life. If fate continues to be against me, then I’d


    rather die where he is. Because this time, I don’t want to be left alone.”
