Chapter 193
After Aidyn finished speaking, he looked up at Bernard.
His face was still expressionless.
Aidyn didn’t know if Mr. Laurence didn’t hear what he said clearly or if he just didn’t care about Ms.
Shultz’s death. Why didn’t he show any reaction?
After hesitating at the door for a while, Aidyn awkwardly said, “Well, Mr. Laurence, won’t bother you to
rest then.”
As he turned to leave, a gloomy voice came from behind. Bernard asked, “Who did you say died?”
Aidyn frowned. He thought he’d made himself quite clear, did Mr. Laurence not hear him?
Muttering to himself, Aidyn turned back around to face the cold man standing inside the room.
“It’s Eleanor, Ms. Shultz.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfraid that he wouldn’t understand, Aidyn emphasized Eleanor’s name on purpose.
Bernard frowned and said in a low voice, “What kind of joke is this? She’s fine, how could she be
dead?”
Aidyn stood there, realizing that his boss didn’t misunderstand; he simply didn’t believe that Ms. Shultz
had died.
He relayed what Liana had told him to Bernard, “Mr. Laurence, Ms. Shultz had heart failure.”
Bernard scoffed, “She just has a heart condition, how could it be heart failure?!”
Before Aidyn could say that it was at a late stage, Bernard slammed the door shut, cutting him off from
the conversation.
The moment the door closed, Aidyn thought he saw Mr. Laurence’s hand trembling, holding his
phone…)
Bernard steadied his shaky hand and dialed the number he had memorized.
He couldn’t believe that Eleanor was dead. He felt that she was blaming him for slapping her and was
fooling him on purpose.
He had to hear her voice; otherwise, his panicking heart would not be able to calm down.
After making several calls, no one picked up. Just as Bernard was about to lose patience, the line
connected.
In this instant, his restless heart suddenly calmed down.
If she answered his call, it meant she wasn’t dead. Aidyn and Liana were lying to him!
Calmly, he addressed her, “Eleanor.”
Upon hearing Bernard’s voice, Hailey sighed deeply.
She hadn’t wanted to answer, but…
She saw a folded piece of paper in the drawer.
Upon opening it and taking a look, she realized it was written by Eleanor to Bernard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust a few short sentences revealed Eleanor’s thoughts towards Bernard.
To fulfill Eleanor’s wish, Hailey answered Bernard’s call.
Taking a deep breath, Hailey told the person on the other end of the call, “Eleanor is gone. You don’t
need to call here anymore.”
Bernard had been waiting for Eleanor’s response, but what he got instead was a female stranger’s
voice voice.
Ignoring the words stating that Eleanor was gone, he said in a deep voice, “Put Eleanor on the phone.”
Hearing this, Hailey suddenly became enraged, “She’s dead! How can she answer the phone?”
This was already the third person telling him that Eleanor was dead today. It was incredibly annoying,
He gripped his phone tightly and asked icily, “Who are you?”
Hailey patiently replied, “I’m Eleanor’s sister, Halley Vulpe.”
He knew Eleanor had a very close friend, but he still didn’t believe her words, “Could Ms. Vulpe kindly
tell Eleanor that if she’s afraid of me bothering her, she can just tell me directly. Don’t play this kind of
trick, I won’t believe it.”
