Chapter 1287 A chill ran down Eleanorâs spine as she listened, her skin going cold and her face draining of color. Mr. Ben hadnât revealed Bernardâs identity, but the latent threat was there.
Eleanor steadied herself, pulling her car over to the side of the road before turning to Robin. âYou said Area Opaca is using Bernard as bait to lure me into playing their game, right?â
Robin nodded, âWhatâs wrong?â
Eleanor slowly clenched her hands, âBernard 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 whoâs trying to lure me in?â
Robin was aware of Sophieâs past with Bernard, âRemove the âcould beâ. She is the one trying to lure you in. Do you dare to go?â
Eleanor didnât care about her own safety, only Bernardâs, âIf Bernard is still alive, would Sophie use me as a leverage against him?â
Robin pondered for a moment, shaking his head, âIf Bernard is alive and hasnât come back yet, heâs 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, sheâs betting that youâd go for him. Thatâs why you received the golden leaf.â
Eleanor understood. Sophie was targeting her. But how did Sophie get into Area Opaca? And how did she connect with Mr. Ben? Bernard hadnât told her any of these. Eleanor was still trying to piece everything together. For now, she needed to make her decision.
Seeing her silence, Robinâspoke, âShe hates you because you stole her fiancé. If you go, sheâll definitely use Aceâs power to get rid of you. Itâs best if you donât go.â Eleanor gripped the steering wheel tighter, âThey were never engaged. There was no fiancé to steal. And didnât you say that Area Opaca doesnât randomly kill?â Robin replied calmly, âIt depends on Sophieâs rank in Ace and whether she has the list of Siren Organization members.
But according to Evan, Ace is a place of strict rules. The person behind the scenes wonât allow any chaos. Unless you make a wrong choice during the game, she canât harm you. But Bernard might already be dead. Do you really want to take this risk for an unknown outcome?â
Eleanor retorted, âWhat about you? Youâve seen Calebâs remains, you know the truth about his death from Evan, yet youâre still following me. Arenât you also risking everything for the unknown?â
Robinâs 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 glanced at Eleanorâs face, his eyes unreadable. As he stayed silent, Eleanorâs soft voice filled the car,â 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 canât just sit at home and do nothing. Iâve been waiting for him for too long.â
âIâve 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 to come home. Now, I have to wait to see if heâll come back alive. Can I really keep waiting? Iâve already waited for more than three months.â
Her tone was calm, but her words were filled with helplessness and a tinge of pain. Robin didnât respond. He simply tightened his grip on his hands resting on his lap.
âSo, whether Sophie is trying to get at me or not, Iâll go. I believe Ace is a place of rules. I also believe my luck will turn around. Iâve had enough bad luck in my life. If fate continues to be against me, then Iâd rather die where he is. Because this time, I donât want to be left alone.â
