Chapter 398
Eleanor’s face turned red as a tomato, and just as she was about to clap back at Hailey, she saw a
familiar figure appear in the video
The guy in the white suit snatched Hailey’s cigarette, put it out, and tossed it in the trash before looking
down at her
“How many times have I told you not to smoke? Why don’t you ever listen?”
Eleanor was taken aback when she suddenly saw Cedric Laurence on the other end of the video
And Hailey seemed even more surprised, apparently not expecting Cedric to show up at the club, let
alone talk to her They hadn’t been in touch since their unpleasant encounter at the club, and it seemed
like they had cut off all contact.
But months later, Cedric showed up at her club again, snatching her cigarette just like before
This left Hailey a bit puzzled….

department
His cautious movements clearly indicated he had gotten someone pregnant and was accompanying
her for an abortion
Although Cedric changed girlfriends often, he was very focused during his relationships. Since he
already had a new flame, why would he come looking for her Hailey was full of doubts, but Cedric
showed no emotion, just glanced at Eleanor in the video
“Ms. Shultz, I need to borrow your best friend for a moment.”
With that, he hung up the video call
Eleanor stared at the screen as the call ended, slowly coming back to her senses.
The situation between Hailey and Cedric was both complicated and simple
Eleanor had asked Hailey for her opinion on Cedric, and she said it was just a brief affair
But they had been together for three years was it really just a passing fling?
Eleanor decided to leave matters of the heart to those directly involved, and put down her phone to
head downstairs.
Feeling like her body was falling apart these days, her legs were sore and aching as she went down
the stairs.
Taking it one step at a time, she slowly made her way to the living room, asking two maids about
nearby stores.
Seeing that she wanted to leave the villa, the maids quickly asked, “Mr. Shultz, what do you need? We
can help you buy it
Realizing that Bernard had instructed the maids not to let her leave alone, Eleanor didn’t argue just told
them what she needed for painting The maids respectfully replied, “Ms. Shultz, all of these items can
be found in the study You can just go there and take what you need
Upon hearing that everything was in the study, Eleanor thanked the maids and headed in that direction.
Pushing open the door to the study, she was amazed at the sight of the bookshelves and cabinets.

Bernard must be quite knowledgeable and fluent in many languages, which had a lot to do with the
cultural upbringing he received since childhood.
Eleanor felt a tinge of envy, and after searching the bookshelves, she turned her attention to the row of
cabinets
Opening them one by one and looking in each, she couldn’t find what she needed until she reached the
very last cabinet
The top shelf of the cabinet was filled with all sorts of papers, pens, and rulers-everything she needed
was right there.
She picked out a few items and was about to leave but while closing the door, she noticed something
familiar in the bottom of the cabinet
Putting down the painting tools, Eleanor opened the bags and found her previously lost items
her sister’s album, Pearce’s golden paintbrush, her bank card, and various sketches.
When all these items appeared before her eyes, Eleanor was completely stunned…
