Chapter 416
Eleanor sat on the bench for a long time, wiping away her tears before replying to Pearce’s message.
She noticed a few missed calls from a number in W City last
night.
Her phone died due to low battery
She ignored those missed calls, put her phone back in her pocket, and hailed a cab to head back to the
villa
She chose to enter through the back garden, not disturbing anyone. She quietly went up to her room on
the second floor
The maid who received Bernard’s call promptly and respectfully answered, “Sir, Ms. Shultz is still
sleeping”
Bemard, unable to contatct Eleanor, frowned, “She usually gets up by now. Why is she still asleep?”
The maid, startled by his reminder, said, “Sir, please wait a moment. I’ll go check on hur

and tiptoed in.
Seeing Eleanor sleeping soundly, the maid breathed a sigh of relief.
She left the room, picked up the phone again, and told Bernard, “Sir, Ms. Shultz is indeed asleep.”
Bernard finally felt at ease, instructing the maid, “Prepare a nutritious breakfast for her. When she
wakes up, encourage her to eat well” Having given his instructions, Bernard, seemingly busy, quickly
hung up and tossed the phone to Gianna, who was next to him.
Gianna glanced at the masked Bernard, clearly annoyed.
“You called your wife just before the mission started and again right after. And not only did you call, but
you used my phone. Can’t you carry your own phone?”
Bernard ignored Glanna, feeling uneasy and agitated.
“How much longer will this mission take?”
Gianna turned her face towards Bernard, scoffing.
“Mr. Laurence, you have the audacity to ask when it’ll be over? If you hadn’t been distracted last night,
how could we have lost two important targets?”
Bernard didn’t react, with his mind filled with Eleanor.
He was supposed to be home after completing the space agency mission yesterday, but the
organization had other plans.
He didn’t want to get involved, but Gianna blocked his car at the restaurant. Hearing that thousands of
lives were at stake, he agreed to take her brother’s place under Gianna’s persuasion.
Before the mission began, he borrowed Gianna’s phone to call Eleanor.
He wanted to give her a heads up, but no one answered the phone.
Fearing something had happened, he immediately called home. The maid told him Eleanor was asleep.
Not wanting to disturb her, he didn’t ask the maid to wake her up. But not hearing her voice made him
uneasy all night.
That unease led to him being distracted during the mission, letting the two targets escape. This was

Before escaping, the two had exposed Gianna’s identity. If not dealt with immediately, the secret of the
‘Siren Organization‘ would be exposed….
Thinking of this, Bernard looked at Caleb, who was setting the tracking route, ‘Have you found them?”
Caleb typed on the keyboard for a moment and respectfully replied, “Sir, they’re in the slums.”
Bernard shifted his gaze and told the driver, “Let’s go!”
He had to wrap this up within an hour. He needed to get back to Eleanor.
Gianna, sitting next to him, showed her dissatisfaction, looking at Bernard again.
She had never made such mistakes working with her brother, but Bernard….
She didn’t understand why their foster father had established the Siren Organization for him and made
them all serve him.
After all, she and her brother were their father’s children. Bernard was just an outsider but their father
paid special attention to him.
Although Gianna had doubts, seeing Bernard’s focus and efficiency in dealing with the escaped
targets, she couldn’t help but admire him.
His methods of dealing with villains were at least on par with her brother’s.
