Chapter 264: Chapter 264

Chapter 264 With a casual wave of her hand, Hailey dismissed the trivial matter. Her real concern, the one occupying her thoughts, was Bernard’s surprising decision to seek out Eleanor.

Hailey asked with some confusion, What did Bernard come to look for you for?”

Eleanor thought of Bernard’s out-of-control appearance and said, “He said he’s been in love with me for eight years and asked me to give him a chance.”

After saying that, she gave a bitter smile, “Hailey, don’t you think he’s hilarious?”

It was hard to believe that his late affections were sincere, given how he treated her and yet claimed to love her.

Hailey’s emotions muddled into a complex tangle as she grappled to regain composure from her initial shock.

“Eleanor, there’s something I didn’t tell you.”

“Actually, after you “died, Bernard came to find you!

“When he found out about your death, he seemed to be in agony “But I was so immersed in my anger at him for causing your death that I didn’t think much about it.”

“Now that I hear you say he’s been in love with you for eight years, I suddenly feel that maybe he really did love you...

Yet, Hailey was confounded. If Bernard truly loved Eleanor, why would he abandon her? His actions were perplexing, even defending those miscreants at the expense of hurting Eleanor.

Since dating Cedric, Hailey had asked about Bernard a few times in order to take revenge.

But it seemed that Cedric knew the purpose of her seduction and remained silent about Bernard’s affairs.

Now she couldn’t figure out why Bernard would treat Eleanor like this....

Eleanor was momentarily stunned, grappling with the surprising reality that her supposed “death” could cause Bernard such profound anguish.

Her heart cracked slightly, but she felt that Hailey might have misunderstood, “He probably felt guilty.”

No matter how cold-hearted someone is, they would be somewhat moved when faced with the loss of a life.

Upon hearing Eleanor say this, Hailey stopped dwelling on Bernard’s thoughts and instead asked Eleanor, “Do you still love Bernard?”

Eleanor’s face gradually darkened, “I’ve given up on him.”

Hailey wanted to say something else, but Eleanor cut her off, “Hailey, let’s go to the airport early.”

Although she had already made things clear with Bernard, she wasn’t sure if he would come looking for her again after finding out she was going back to G Country.

It’s better to leave early. She really didn’t want to have anything to do with Bernard anymore, even if it meant jumping into the fire by going to another country...

Seeing that Eleanor didn’t want to talk about Bernard-related matters anymore, Hailey changed the subject, “Have you packed everything?”

Eleanor nodded, “Yes, I’ll call Ethan.”

Ethan was even more anxious to leave than her. Hearing that she wanted to go to the airport early, he immediately went downstairs with his suitcase.

After arranging for someone to return Hailey’s SUV to her villa, he took Eleanor and Hailey to a stretch limousine.

As the car sped towards the airport, a Koenigsegg passed by...

After recognizing the car, a hint of a smile flashed in Ethan’s eyes.

He calmly took out his phone and sent a message to the people in the villa.

[Someone will come later, tell them my flight is the day after tomorrow]

Then he sent a message to the airport staff, asking them to keep his itinerary a secret.

With these things taken care of, Ethan propped his chin with one hand and chuckled.

Bernard, as my pawn, you will never be able to take Eleanor away. You can keep looking.
