Chapter 1042 Peterson surveyed the people around the table, finding it quite amusing but then.
His gaze fell on the private roomâs restroom Why had Mr. Laurenceâs wife been in there for so long?
Growing increasingly anxious, Eleanor pulled out her phone and sent a message to Bernard, [Dear, please find a way to get Peterson out ]
Bernard, who had been contemplating how to tactfully steer Peterson away, saw the message and revealed a doting smile, [Do you want me to come in and keep you company?
What did he mean by that?
Eleanor responded [Iâm sure you can find a way I Bernard replied: [Wait a moment]
Setting his phone aside, Bernard turned to Peterson, âThereâs a project Iâd like to discuss with you. Could we move upstairs for a chat?â
The building they were gathered in was under Bernardâs ownership, with a regular restaurant on the ground floor and entertainment venues occupying the rest. Although he knew that the projects of the Sharp family werent under his management, he still chose to discuss them with Peterson at this moment, obviously intending to lead him away Peterson understood all this but didnât call it out. Rising gracefully, he said, âLetâs go.â
After the two of them left, Sigridâs expression subtly shifted. It seemed like she knew Bernard had deliberately separated Peterson, and this realization left her feeling a bit uneasy She knew that Chase was helping Bernard with his lawsuit, just to get close to her, even bringing Peterson as a wingman, She initially thought Chase would back off on his own, but she didnât expect Bernard to help him........
After taking a swig of her drink, she turned to Cedric, âBro, Iâve got some work to do at my studio. Iâll take off first.â
Sigrid had a studio in the country where she designed various crafts. She was about to exhibit her work, so things were pretty hectic.
Cedric knew she was busy, but he couldnât let her leave just like that tonight, âYou saw how Bernard stood up for him. Give him one more chance to explain.â
Sigrid didnât look up at Chase, âWeâve discussed everything we need to years ago. Is there anything we need to talk about now?*
Chaseâs eyes were starting to well up. It seemed like he felt that Sigrid had completely let go of him. He was deeply saddened, but he tried his best to act nonchalant, patting Cedricâs shoulder lightly. âItâs alright. Donât push her.â
Cedric looked at Chaseâs lifestyle over the years, âSigrid, he had no choice but to break up with you. You should at least hear him out.â
Sigrid slowly lifted her eyes, looking at Chaseâs pale face. She sighed, âAlright, letâs talk outsideâ
She put down her glass and stood up. Chase watched her figure, frozen for a few seconds. Then, with a nudge from Cedric, he hurriedly followed.
After they left, Pearce curiously asked, âWere they a couple before?â
Cedric gave him a glance, âWhatâs it to you?â
Pearce looked innocent, âIf this has nothing to do with me, canât I ask?â
Cedric was speechless.
âIf this has nothing to do with me, canât I be curious?â
âIf this has nothing to do with me, I donât have the right to know?â
Cedric was still speechless.
Whatever, he is Eleanorâs mentor Just bear with it, this meal will be over soon.
Sigrid strolled down the street.
Chase stared at her retreating figure, following at a slow pace.
When they reached an uphill road, Sigrid stopped and turned back to look at Chase, âAlright, spill it.â
