Bernard’s face became serious in an mstant What’s up?”
Caleb, on the other end of the phone hesitated, saying. You’ll know when you get here”
Bernard furrowed his brows, a chill flashed in his eyes, as cold as the s****s outside the window.
After hanging up, he quickly changed course and headed toward Ethan’s villa.
Eleanor woke up from her sleep, instinctively reaching out to find the bed cold and empty.
Bernard’s gone?

searching for him.

but Bernard was nowhere to be found. Her panic and unease grew with each passing second
She threw on a coat, went barefoot, and ran downstairs. ‘Bryson, where the hell is Bernard?”
Bryson, who had been woken up, quickly opened the door. Seeing Eleanor’s anxious face, he
reassured her, “Mr. Laurence probably had something to sort out. You know how he is, always on the
move.”
Eleanor was already aware of Mr. Laurence’s identity. Bryson spoke without hiding anything: ‘He
always comes back safe; don’t worry.”

of the living room started ringing.
Bryson frowned at the phone. “Odd, this phone hasn’t rung in ages, why the hell is it ringing now?”

It’s a Mr. Ziegler for you.”
Wasn’t that Ethan?
How did he know the number to Laurence Manor, and why was he calling so late?

“Bernard’s at my villa; come get him.”
Without waiting for a response, he hung up
Eleanor put down the phone and asked. “Did Bernard go out with his mask?”
Bryson shook his head, clueless “He used to wear it when he was in action. He didn’t this time.”

the door.

and instructed them to follow in pursuit…
In the car, Eleanor, nervous as hell, just told the driver to step on it when a few cars surrounded them.

got out and started fighting.

then a luxury car pulled up beside her.
After the door on her side was opened, a hand reached out from the luxury car, yanking struggling
Eleanor into the car.
