Chapter 417
They all split from the slums in a ride, parking it in a non–surveilled spot behind the hotel.
After Bernard and Gianna whipped off their masks and tossed them to Caleb, they booked it out of the
car and into the hotel.
They hit up an elevator with its surveillance already being tampered with, and then darted through a
special passageway back to their rooms.
The second the door was shut, Glanna made a beeline for Bernard.
“Thanks for stepping up for my brother and squaring things away with HQ, I wouldn’t have been able to
handle it on my own”
“Also, with my special status, I’m probably on someone’s radar. Thanks for playing house with me last

Bemard didn’t have time to chit–chat and turned to leave through the front door.
“Mr. Laurence, hold up.”
Gianna, in her high heels, came over and said, “We’re under investigation both home and abroad these
days. My brother wanted me to remind you not to blow your cover, not even to those you trust most.”
Bernard “Would anyone be investigating you if he hadn’t messed with Robin Spencer?
Gianna was left speechless by his retort. This time, it was indeed her brother who had provoked Robin.
Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn’t push further, just nodded at Bernard, “I apologize, we’ll be

Bernard bolted downstairs, strutted through the lobby, and made his way to the car parked in front of
the hotel under everyone’s watchful eyes.
Once the servants were gone, Eleanor got up from the bed, stripped off her soaked clothes in the
bathroom, and took a shower.
She cleaned herself up, treated the wound on her palm, changed into her own clothes and headed
downstairs to the study.
She opened the last row of bookshelves and took out a pile of stuff to put on the glass table in the living
room.
She sat on the couch, waiting quietly for Bernard’s arrival…
Not much later, a car pulled up in front of the mansion.
A tall man got out of the car and walked towards the mansion.
Seeing Eleanor in the living room, he immediately felt at ease.
Despite being sleep–deprived for four days, he couldn’t help but smile.

“Eleanor…”
He walked up to her and was about to hug her, but she dodged him.
She was cold and polite as if seeing a stranger, “Since you’re back, we need to clear some things up.”
Bernard’s face changed, and his heart, which had just settled down, became restless again.
He frowned, looking at Eleanor confused, “Eleanor, are you mad because I didn’t com home on time
yesterday?”
He knelt in front of her on one knee and explained, “I have a team in Europe. Some stuff went down
with the team last night, that’s why I couldn’t get back on t did call you to tell you. But you didn’t pick
up…”
Eleanor thought of those unknown calls from W City, she originally thought they were prank calls, but it
turned out they were from him.
