Chapter 445
Eleanor looked across the room, utterly baffled. Bernards sudden appearance seemed a little too
convenient. He had a private estate in A City and was a notorious neat freak. Even the most luxurious
hotels couldn’t satisfy his standards. So why on earth was he here?
While pondering, Eleanor noticed Pearce glancing at her phone.
*So, Mr. Law’s not showing up?
The cops, who were about to go back to the fire exit to wait for the criminal, halted at the sound of
Pearce’s surprised voice.
“What happened?”
Eleanor snapped out of her thoughts and quickly explained herself to the police.
“Officers, I’m sorry. It seems Mr. Law got wind of our operation and changed his plans. He’s not coming
today.”

“Sorry to have you guys run around for nothing.
Though they felt like their time was wasted, the cops didn’t blame her. Instead, they reminded the two
to call them if anything came up.
After thanking the police, Eleanor and Pearce watched them leave. The rest of the hotel staff quickly
evacuated the building.
After they left, Pearce and Eleanor stepped into the elevator, headed to the underground parking lot,
and got in the car.
While starting the car, Pearce asked Eleanor, “Mr. Law is a sly fox. Are you still going to meet him
tomorrow?
Eleanor seemed uncertain, “The Midnight Bar is his turf. I might walk in and never come back.”
After driving out of the parking lot, Pearce glanced at Eleanor, “We’ve already bothered the cops today.
It won’t feel right to call them again tomorrow. But if you really want to catch him, I can call some
buddies to back you up!*
Eleanor felt the warmth in Pearce’s offer, “Thank you, Mr. Hooper.”
Pearce lifted his right hand from the steering wheel, raised his index finger, and wagged it, “Don’t get
me wrong. I just love the thrill of catching criminals!”
Eleanor,
She shouldn’t have expected anything from Pearce’s kindheartedness.
Back
at the hotel, Bernard received a message that everyone had left. He quickly exited his room.
He hurried into the elevator, intending to find Eleanor. Just then, a call from Caleb came in, “Sir, I found
out. A month ago, someone impersonated you and attacked Ms. Shultz in the hospital’s underground
parking lot. He even tried to assault her. Pearce saved her.”

I on the descending elevator numbers,
“Who?!”
Se him to harm his woman, and even tried to violate her??
Caleb’s respectful voice came from the other end of the line, “A man who is strikingly similar to you!”
Bernard’s
phone tightened, with his knuckles turning white and his face darkening.
Although Caleb couldn’t see Bernard, he could sense his boiling rage through the phone.
This was the first time someone dared to impersonate Mr. Law.
Not only did he impersonate him, but he also did vile things to his woman.
Such audacity to provoke Mr. Law.
Caleb heard Bernard’s icy voice ring in his ear.
“Address!”
aAfter sying this, Bernard hung up the phone.
He quickly left the hotel, got into his sports car, started it, and hit the gas. His Bugatti roared and sped
towards an abandoned factory in the suburbs.
