Chapter 850 Eleanor and Bernard exchanged glances, and Bernardâs expression turned rigid as he led Eleanor back to the study to take the call âMs Schultz, hello This is the committee for the 17th International Architecture Competitionâ
Eleanor initially thought the call was from Evelyn about the kids, but it turned out to be about the international competition. She breathed a sigh of relief.
âHello, whatâs up?â
âMs Schultz, your work Jared Group Headquarters, has passed the final round of judging. The committee has unanimously decided to award you the title of champion of this competition Please come to the B City International Architecture Exhibition Hall to receive the award and deliver your acceptance speech tomorrow afternoonâ
Won Eleanor couldnât believe it and looked at Bernard.
He rebuilt the Jared Group Headquarters to pursue her and let her reach the peak of the architecture industry under her own name.
She thought that, as a newbie, she wouldnât be able to make it through the final round. But not only did she win, she became the champion This sudden surprise made her so excited that she hugged Bernard âDarling. I won! Iâm the champion!â
Bernardâs tense expression gradually relaxed, and a smile crept up his face.
âAre you happy?â
âSo happy!â
âThen letâs build a few more branches, all designed by youâ
At these words, the smile on Eleanorâs face froze.
She pushed Bernard away and looked at him with furrowed brows.
âYou didnât rig this championship title for me, did you?â
Cedric, next to them, who loved to watch the fun, pointed at Bernard.
âIt was him, it was him...
Eleanorâs joy instantly disappeared.
âI thought I won because of my work, not because of you. How can I accept this fishy championship?â
She picked up her phone, preparing to call the committee and tell them to reâevaluate and not take the chance with other designers.
But before she could dial, a hand pressed down on her screen. âI didnât influence the competition, I just helped you submit your work.â
Just as Bernard finished explaining, Cedric stirred up trouble again: âEleanor, your work is called Jared Group Headquarters. The committee would know itâs from the Laurence family just by the name. How could they not give you the award?
Eleanor thought Cedric made sense and quickly nodded, saying âRight, I canât accept this award. I should declineâ
Bernard snatched Eleanorâs phone with one hand, looking coldly at Cedric âWhen Ms. Vulpe and Yeager tie the knot, Iâll definitely gift them a villa as a wedding present.â
Cedric, who was enjoying the drama instantly stiffened, saying, âYouâre being a pest, so annoying.â
Bernardâs voice was cold as ice. If youâre annoyed, then shut up!
Shut up. Why are you so aggressive?
Cedric sneaked a glance at Bernard and then sat up straight, diligently continuing to code the encrypted video.
Bernard shifted his gaze to Eleanor and said, âDarling, the members of the international committee are all masters in the architecture industry. They focus on the work, not the background. You have to believe that youâre capableâ
Eleanor was somewhat skeptical, but Ethan Ziegler had said the same thing before Most architects were like straight lines on a blueprint Theyâre very direct, either it works or it doesnât, having a big backer doesnât help Perhaps her work was truly recognized by the masters, and having a backer was just a bonus A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

With that thought, she nodded her head and said, âAlright, Iâll start preparing my acceptance speechâ
Just as she was about to leave, Bernard pulled her back into his arms, pressing his hand against her waist âHow are you going to thank me?â
His fingers slid up her clothing, caressing her skin. The hot touch was clearly hinting at how she should thank him.
Eleanor feigned ignorance. After I receive the award. Iâll treat you to street food in B City Youâve never had it before, right? I take you thereâ
âWhat I want is a demonstration of gratitudeâ
Eleanor ballester hand into a fist and lightly punched Bernardâs sturdy chest. âLiana said that overindulgence can harm the bodyâ
Bernard caught her fist and said, âLiana also said that Iâm very robust Mrs Laurence doesnât need to worryâ
Cedric, who was still coding glanced at the pair, who shamelessly flirted in daylight, and angrily pounded his keyboard.
Bang bang, bang!
Eleanor heard the noise and remembered there was someone else in the study. She quickly pushed Bernard away, saying âDonât say inappropriate things in front of the kid.â
Kid Cedric Bang bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bangi
