Chapter 897 A chilling iciness flickered in Bernardâs gaze, his head subily inclined, seemingly weighed down by murderous intent In response, Elbert swallowed a lump in his throat, bewilderment washing over him. Never before had he perceived Bernard as daunting. Why then did he feel like a cornered animal now?
Confusion tethered Elbert Scratching his scalp, he tactfully veered the conversation elsewhere. âAh summoned me to discuss your return to England with me, have you?â Eleanor lightly shook her head, revealing her intentions, âNo, youâre here because I require a single strand of your hairâ
Elbert quipped back. âI understand if you need a loan due to matrimonial turbulence, but asking for a piece of my hair? Thatâs beyond my comprehensionâ
His remark was a thinlyâveiled swipe at Bernard Eleanor noted Elbertâs boldness in baiting Bernard and found it amusing. âItâs for a DNA test, you see Elbertâs face lit up, âOh,â but then he added, âYou look so much like my sister, itâs obvious that you are from the Pine family is a test still necessary?â
Eleanor picked up where he left off, âThere are lots of people in the world who look alike. Just because you look like my sister doesnât mean you are her daughter. Itâs better to have a test to make sure, otherwise, I wonât believe itâ
Elbert nodded. âOkay, go ahead and use my hair for the test. But once itâs done, will you go with me to G country?â
The Without hesitation, Eleanor said, âIf the result shows Iâm part of the Pine family, then itâs right to go to G country to see her one last time. If not, then I wonât go. Is that okayââ
Elbert was overjoyed when Eleanor agreed to go to G country, patting his chest, âDonât worry, you must be part of the Pine family.â
After saying this, he sneaked a glance at the expressionless Bernard, âBut youâve married the enemy of the Pine family, we definitely wonât accept that. Can you divorce him once the results come out?â
Bernard, leaning against the sofa, lightly cracked his knuckles.
Upon hearing the cracking sound, Elbert swallowed nervously again.

Eleanor brushed him off nonchalantly. âWeâll cross that bridge when we get to it.â
Elbert agreed, deciding not to rush things.
Eleanor nodded and held out her hand, âGive me your hair.â
Right as Elbert was about to pull out his hair, Bernard gestured to Scott beside him.
Scott caught the signal and beat Elbert to it, grabbing his hair, âMr. Pine, let me do it.â
Without waiting for Elbertâs consent, Scott yanked at his hair, pulling out a big tuft in an instant.
Elbert clutched his head, screaming in pain, âAre you out of your mind?!â
Scott awkwardly laughed, âMr. Pine, Iâm really sorry, I think I might have been a bit too forceful...
Elbert was sure, if his head wasnât so hard, he would have had a concussion from that Seeing Elbert in pain, Eleanor felt sorry for him, âUm, if thereâs nothing else, Iâll go get the test done...â
Elbert nodded while suppressing his pain, âOnce the report is out, contact me right away...
Eleanor agreed and was about to get up when she saw someone approaching fasi, âBernard, something urgent came up. Come with me!â
