Chapter 117
The moment Eleanor saw Josef, her heart skipped a beat, and fear and tension Immediately filled her chest.
‘Mr. Caporal..
Her face turned pale with fright, and her voice trembled.
Seeing her so scared, Josel tilted his head slightly, ‘Ms. Shultz, long time no see.”
Eleanor was shaking all over but she managed to keep her composure, “Mr. Caporal, what brings you to the ladies‘ room to find me?”
Josef seemed to laugh, “Nothing much, just wanted to thank you.”
He then removed the mask from his face, revealing a mouth sewn with over a dozen stitches.
The dense stitches looked horrifying, causing Eleanor to take a step back.
But Josef didn’t seem to care, beckoning her with his finger, “Come here.”
Eleanor shook her head and turned to run towards the nearby washroom.
The two bodyguards who were following behind Josef, each holding an iron rod, immediately rushed forward upon seeing this. After blocking her escape, the guards grabbed her arms, one on each side, and brought her before Josef.
She was forced, in a humiliating posture, to kneel before him.
“You’re still good at running, aren’t you?”
Josef sneered, looking down at Eleanor with a cruel expression.
“But where can you run to?”
He laughed, like a madman, and then fixed his vicious gaze back on her.
“All because of you, my hands are ruined, my legs are crippled, even my mouth is destroyed. How should I thank you?”
By the end, his tone became heavier, as if he wanted to tear Eleanor to pieces.
Eleanor trembled in fear at his appearance.
“Mr. Caporal, I don’t understand.”
“Don’t understand?”
Josef raised an eyebrow, and his smile became even more chilling and terrifying.
The night you gave me the contract, I encountered a group of people, their leader wearing a golden mask.”
“He said something then, but I was in and out of consciousness due to the torture and didn’t hear it clearly.”
“After regaining my senses, I tried hard to grasp that bit of memory, and luckily, I remembered.”
“Guess what he said?”
Josef’s casual tone, as if talking to an old friend, made Eleanor feel inexplicably creepy.
Especially when he mentioned the leader wearing a golden mask, she shuddered instinctively.
She had suspected before that the person torturing Josef was Mr. Law, and it turned out she was right.
Not knowing Josef’s purpose in suddenly bringing up Mr. Law, she pretended not to know and shook her head.
‘I don’t know..”
“Don’t know?”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
