Chapter 1275 Eleanor felt a chill run through her body, extending to her very blood after listening to that revelation. The light and hope she had carefully nurtured were extinguished in an instant.
âSo it was all a lie...â
The reassuring letters, the promise of a month, the commitment of two months, and the appearance of Garett in the third month... All were part of a deceitful plan.
Bernard Laurence was a master manipulator, he played her, exploiting her soft-heartedness, her obedience, and her reluctance to cause trouble. She felt like a puppet in his hands.
She forced a smile, one filled with bitterness and despair. The sight of her despair ignited a sense of guilt in Evanâs heart.
âMrs. Laurence, itâs all my fault. I failed him, and I failed you.â
Eleanor sat on the couch for what felt like an eternity, shivering from the cold before she finally regained her senses.
With her gaze fixed on Evan, who remained kneeling on the floor in remorse, she gave her demand, âGive me the address. Iâll find him.â
Alive or dead, she needed to see him. Even if he was burned to ashes, she would stand at the spot where it happened.
At this moment, Evan understood why Bernard had insisted that he not reveal the truth to Eleanor. Her love for Bernard was so profound that she was willing to risk her life for him.
âIâm sorry. I donât know the address.â
He wasnât lying. They were all taken there unconscious, waking up in a cold, unfeeling room filled with electronics, devoid of any human presence.
âIâll find it myself.â
Eleanorâs voice was firm as she slowly rose from the couch..In her mind, being married meant standing by each other/in life and death. If Bernard was alive, she would find him. If he was dead, she would find his remains. They were always meant to be together.
âMrs. Laurence!â Evan quickly got up, blocking Eleanorâs way, âItâs a one-way ticket. Once youâre in, thereâs no getting out.â
Eleanor looked at Evan with tear-filled eyes, âThen how did you get out?â

âI...â Evan lowered his gaze, unable to meet Eleanorâs determined stare.
âI, along with Mr. Law, posed as gamblers. The people of Area Opaca didnât know we were members of the Siren Organization. If you survive until the last round and make the right choice, you have a chance of getting out.â
If they found out you were a Siren member, there would be no escape. Those who had infiltrated Area Opaca as gamblers to investigate the mastermind behind it all, were trapped there forever.
Members who were sent undercover were not the only ones who were trapped. Those whose identities were leaked were directly taken by Area Opaca and turned into experimental subjects...
Bernard had agreed to help Mr. Penrod uncover the mastermind, not just to break free from the Siren Organization and live a peaceful life with Eleanor, but also for the countless members who were mercilessly killed by Area Opaca...
âIf he couldnât escape, how did you escape?â
Evan tried to reason with Eleanor, but all he saw in her eyes was determination and despair.
He had wished her to live her life, even remarried if she wished. Bernard wouldnât mind His words were like salt on her fresh wounds, causing her both pain and helplessness.
âHe really is a great man, isnât he? Even my remarriage wouldnât bother him.â
Eleanor forced a laugh, but tears welled up in her eyes.
Evan said nothing in return, simply standing in front of her, preventing her from leaving or causing a scene.
Eleanor knew Evan wouldnât let her go. She slowly retreated back to the couch and sat down...
âCan you tell me why you went there?
