Chapter 1284 Robin brought Eleanorâs car to a halt, pushing open the door and tapping on her window, âOpen up!â
Eleanor, with a sigh of resignation, rolled down the window, her gaze meeting Robinâs. âWhat can I do for you, Mr. Spencer?â
Robin jutted his chin towards her. âKatharineâs refusing to believe Calebâs gone, insists on finding him. To put her at ease, Iâm planning a trip to Area Opaca. Seems youâre headed there too, so why donât we go together?â
Eleanor stiffened, surprised by Robinâs proposition. Had he somehow found out about her plans to visit Area Opaca? And he wanted to accompany her?
Shaking off her initial shock, she glanced at Robin, who despite his size, had been ill for some time. âCaleb, with all his strength, couldnât make it out alive. What if you...â
Robin interrupted her coldly. âAnd I suppose youâre in much better shape?â
Neither of them was in prime condition, and yet Robinâs resilience was known to all. Perhaps his presence would even turn the tides against their enemies at Area Opaca.
After a momentâs hesitation, Eleanor shook her head. âMs. Spencer has already lost her fiancé. If she lost her beloved brother too, sheâd lose her mind.â
Robin dismissed her worries with a question. âAnd you think she hasnât lost it already?â
Katharine was in a delicate state, her emotions and mental health in turmoil. One moment, sheâd accept Calebâs death, the next, sheâd be in denial.
Unless Robin went to Area Opaca himself and returned with confirmation, she wouldnât accept the truth.
Eleanor fell silent, her mind a whirlpool of uncertainty. Robin watched her silently for a moment before he spoke again, âAs her brother, itâs only right I do something for her.â
Eleanor responded solemnly. âCaleb went to Area Opaca with my husband, and all that returned were remains. If you come with me, I fear you might not return at all. How would I explain that to Ms. Spencer?â
Robin was nonchalant. âShe wonât find out. Besides, Iâve devised a foolproof plan with a hundred men to accompany us. When we reach the right spot, theyâll take A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

care of everything.â
Eleanor frowned. âIf you could think of this plan, then my husband must have thought of it too. They must have had it in place, but they still didnât make it out. That means Area Opaca is no ordinary place...â
Robin was well aware of Area Opacaâs strength, but that didnât deter him. âItâs better than doing nothing and walking into a death trap, right?â
His words left Eleanor without a response, but she still didnât agree. Robin, too indifferent to care, moved around the car and pulled open the passenger door. After a moment, Eleanor pressed the unlock button.
Robin slid into the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt as he spoke. âIâve endured the humiliation of asking Evan for information. Area Opaca is a casino. Those who go there are either rich or desperate gamblers. They gamble on a fifty-fifty chance choose right and you live, choose wrong and you die. Itâs all controlled by an electronic system. Those who choose wrong, donât stand a chance.â
Having fastened his seatbelt, Robin turned to a stunned Eleanor under the dim light. âRemember on Cedricâs yacht, the fifty-fifty game we played?
You and I were the only ones who made it.â
Eleanor responded, a hint of resignation in her tone. âWe were just lucky. And the games we played didnât cost lives.â
Area Opaca was a place that reveled in human suffering, far removed from the petty games of wealthy young men.
Robin, however, gave her a smug smile. âWhoâs to say we wonât continue to be lucky?â
