A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 

Joelle had regained her composure, but she was still shaking with anger and couldn’t hear Bernard at all. 

She’d never been treated like this in her life, and she was furious. 

She got up from the floor and shoved Eleanor hard. 

Eleanor, caught off guard, fell onto the floor of the opposite cubicle, hitting her head and causing a gash to open up. 

Blood seeped out of the wound and onto the floor. 

Bernard’s face changed, and he suddenly tightened his grip on Sophie’s waist. 

Wincing, Sophie asked, “Bernard, what’s wrong?” 

Bernard immediately let go of Sophie’s waist and walked over to Eleanor. 

He reached out to help Eleanor but pulled his hand back and said to her, “Apologize.” 

Eleanor looked up, her vision blurred by the blood, but she understood that he was asking her to apologize to Joelle. 

She thought for a moment, smiled sadly and helplessly. 

Leaning against the wall for support, she stood up and bowed to Joelle. 

“I’m sorry, Ms. Valona…” 

Bent at the waist and with her head down, she looked like a servant who had done wrong, her face expressionless. 

Bernard watched Eleanor’s frail body and couldn’t bear it in his heart. 

He turned his head to look at Joelle, who still looked furious. 

“It’s over, the apology has been made. There’s no need to make more trouble.” 

Joelle softened her tone because of Bernard’s words, “Bernard, do you know her or are you just speaking for her because of Liana?” 

“It has nothing to do with Liana. You’ve gone too far.” 

Bernard looked at Joelle coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with her. 

“But you….you used to protect that girl the same way.” 

Joelle looked at Bernard suspiciously. 

The only person in the world who had ever caused him to lose control of his emotions was that girl. 

It was that girl, his childhood playmate. He used to stand up for her just like this, defending her and even protecting her at all costs! 

Bernard’s expression grew even darker as Joelle’s words hit a sensitive nerve. His face contorted with anger and frustration. 

“What will it take for you to release her?” he demanded, his voice filled with desperation.
