A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 

Ignoring the intense pain in his thigh, Josef suddenly lifted his leather shoe, hooked the tip under Eleanor’s chin, and forced her to look at him. 

You sneaky woman! I’m like this because of the people you sent after me. Don’t you think I should be really grateful to you?* 

Eleanor hadn’t noticed the anger in Josef’s eyes, but now she was forced to look up at him, and she instantly saw the fury burning within. 

She was so scared that her breath caught in her throat, but she knew she couldn’t show fear, so she clenched her teeth and tried to calm down. 

You must have misunderstood. I never sent anyone to harm you, and I don’t know the masked man you’re talking about…” 

Even if Josef thought she sent Mr. Law to hurt him, she couldn’t admit she knew him. And it wasn’t her who asked Mr. Law to go after Josef. She only found out from the news the next day. 

Besides, she was also a victim. 

“Don’t know him?” 

Seeing Eleanor play dumb, Josef’s expression darkened. 

“Haha…” 

His sinister laugh gave Eleanor goosebumps. 

She clenched her fists and continued to deny it: “The masked man dared to hurt even you, so he must be really powerful. How could someone like me have contact with such a person…” 

Josef laughed even more menacingly. “You’re still as persuasive as ever. Almost made me believe you again, but this time… 

He paused for a moment, his eyes filled with anger, and he revealed a fierce expression. 

“I’ll never let you off the hook!” 

With that, he violently kicked Eleanor away. 

As she fell, a bodyguard grabbed an iron rod and slammed it hard against Eleanor’s back before she can react! 

The pain was unbearable, and cold sweat poured down her body.. 

“You despicable woman! It’s one thing to conspire with Mr. Wiseman from the Laurence Group to frame me, but then you had someone come after me too! Do you think I’m easy to bully?” 

His face was ruined, his body was crippled, and he had to face a huge compensation claim from the Laurence Group, all because of her. 

When he woke up from his coma, he learned that his father had been arrested and their family was ruined. So he planned to use the contract Eleanor signed with him to revitalize the family! 

But Mr. Wiseman told him that according to the contract, he had breached penalty clause. Not only would he fail to get the development rights to the Western City project, but he’d also have to pay the Laurence Group a substantial penalty fee. 

He only then discovered the penalty clause in the contract: the Caporal Group must not have any negative news. If any scandal is exposed, the Caporal Group would have to pay the Laurence Group billions in penalty fees.. 

It was as if someone had anticipated his imminent bad publicity. They deliberately asked him to revise the contract terms and then exposed his scandal, causing him to fail completely and take on a huge debt.
