Chapter 1285
Eleanor didn’t agree with his rationale. “Mr. Spencer, I’m not going there for fun, I’m going to find my husband.”
Robin glanced at her dismissively. “So what? You’re looking for your husband, I’m looking for my brother-in-law. What’s the issue?”
Baffled into silence by his retort, Eleanor found herself at a loss for words. Robin then asked her, “Do you have any idea what the situation is like in the Area Opaca?”
She hadn’t asked Evan about the Area Opaca for fear of raising his suspicions. “I know where it is. That’s enough.”
Robin’s aloof demeanor chilled slightly. “And how exactly do you know the location of the Area Opaca?”
Eleanor hesitated for a moment, then decided to trust Robin. She pulled out a golden leaf and a note, handed them to him. “A little girl gave these to me today.”
Taking them, Robin glanced at the note before closely examining the golden leaf. This is an invitation to the Area Opaca. The letter ‘A’ on the back stands for ‘Ace’, which is the nickname of Area Opaca.”
He looked up from the leaf to Eleanor. “The people behind the Area Opaca send out these invitations to those they are particularly interested in. The fact that you received one means you’ve caught their attention.”
Eleanor’s brow furrowed. “Does their interest in me mean that Bernard is still alive and they want to use me as leverage to control him?”
Shaking his head, Robin replied, “I think they’re using Bernard as bait to lure you in. After all, Bernard is already deeply involved in the Area Opaca. Whether he’s dead or alive, they can control him directly.”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her presence didn’t threaten Bernard, she was okay with it. “Then why do they want to lure me in?”
Handing her back the golden leaf, Robin said, “You must have something they value to have caught their attention.”
Confused, Eleanor asked, “What value could I possibly have?!
Robin extended a slender finger and tapped on her steering wheel. “Drive to the harbor. I’ll explain on the way.”
Eleanor stared at Robin for a moment before starting the car and heading towards the harbor.
Robin didn’t explain Eleanor’s value to the Area Opaca during the drive because he didn’t know either. But he did provide a thorough breakdown of the situation within the club.

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...
