Chapter 256
Eleanor returned to her room, feeling a bit uneasy as Ethan hadn’t followed her in to stop her.
Turns out, Ethan was going back to G country all because she refused to be her sister’s replacement at
breakfast.
He knew she wanted to stay, so he initiated that conversation earlier to force her to obey.
There’s no way she’d be someone’s replacement again, so she pretended not to care, trying to make
Ethan give up on the idea.
But it’s clear that Ethan held all the cards and didn’t care about her bargaining.
Feeling frustrated, Eleanor sat on her bed, curling up and burying her head in her sleeves.
Ethan walked in and, seeing her like this, lifted his chin provocatively: “Weren’t you supposed to pack?
Why haven’t you started?”
Upon hearing his voice, Eleanor raised her head in defiance, glaring at him: “Just give me a minute.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmused by her tantrum, Ethan backed off: “If you come with me to another country, you won’t have to
be Emilia’s replacement.”
It’s a *to have Bernard so in love with her here. Both of them fighting for her would just be exhausting.
Better to leave now.
Eleanor looked at him in surprise: “Really?”
Ethan replied nonchalantly: “When have I ever lied to you?”
Eleanor didn’t quite trust Ethan’s words, keeping her head down and silent, but internally considering if
she should try to escape.
“Don’t even think about it.”
It seemed like Ethan had seen right through her thoughts, mercilessly poking at her little scheme.
“You won’t be able to.”
He looked down on her with a superior attitude: “Unless you learn from your sister…”
His eyes showed his determination not to let her go. Eleanor felt a surge of fear.
She stared at Ethan, as if only now realizing what kind of person he was: “So this is how you killed my
sister.”
Ethan’s expression darkened, guilt surrounding him, but he didn’t deny it: “That’s right. So do you want
to give it a try?”
Eleanor’s face turned even paler: If I die will you let me go then?”
Ethan walked up to her, bent down, stared into her dull eyes, and coldly said: “Now that you have her
heart, I won’t let you die. Just be obedient.”
Eleanor’s face became bitter, suddenly not knowing the meaning of being alive.
She struggled to move her eyes and looked at Ethan: “Didn’t you love my sister very much?”
She couldn’t understand how someone could love a person so much yet find someone else to be that
person’s substitution.
Ethan sneered, indifferent: “Who said I loved her?”
How could he love her? He once said that if all the women in the world died, he still wouldn’t love her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEleanor looked at Ethan, feeling he was full of contradictions.
If he didn’t love Emilia, why draw so many portraits after her death?
If he didn’t love Emilia, why become so crazy over a heart?
He obviously hurt her sister but didn’t dare admit his love for her.
She didn’t want to bother talking to such an abnormal person anymore, she coldly said: “Give me some
time. I need to talk to my friends first.”
Ethan was still immersed in past memories, only snapping out of it with her response “Don’t make me
wait too long”
He left the room with a stubborn look after saying that..
After calling Ethan a freak under her breath, Eleanor picked up her phone to call Hailey. Before she
even dialed the number, she heard the maid’s voice from downstairs
“Ms. Shultz, there’s a lady named Hailey wanting to meet you”
Hearing Hailey was here, Eleanor hurriedly put down her phone and went downstairs.
