A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

In the deep slumber, the cellphone suddenly kept buzzing nonstop

She tiredly opened her eyes, forced herself to wake up and picked up the phone

Baby.” 

Josef’s voice came from the other side, You said you had a high fever last night. How are you now?” 

Eleanor’s spirits lifted slightly at the sound of his voice

She found Josef bizarre. He always just wanted to possess her, but now he suddenly cared about her health

Text messages and phone calls could it be that he knew she was near death and wanted to let her off the hook

Eleanor’s mind raced, but she acted nonchalant and replied, I’m better now.” 

Good to know.” 

Josef said perfunctorily, then eagerly asked, Why did you call me? Did that thing work out?” 

Eleanor thought, of course Josef wouldn’t care about her health; this was his true purpose

She sat up in bed and supported her aching head with one hand, coldly saying, I talked to Mr. Laurence. He said he would think about it.” 

The excuse she used that day to escape was to blackmail Bernard with a video to get the project from him

She sounded confident, but only she knew that it was all lies to deceive Josef

She didn’t have the video, wouldn’t talk to Bernard, and definitely wouldn’t threaten Bernard to get the project

She had planned all along to use this excuse to stall Josef

Until Hailey got married safely, she’d go find Josef and take him down

Yes, she would trade her life for Hailey’s peace for the rest of her life

Josef was clearly getting impatient, The bidding is on the 10th of next month; when is he going to consider it?” 

Eleanor frowned. Hailey’s wedding was on the 9th of next month

She originally planned to wait for Hailey to get married and then go find Josef to take him down

But the bidding was on the 10th, and time was so tight that Josef wouldn’t let her stall until that day

After thinking for a while, Eleanor gritted her teeth and said, On the 9th of next month, he’ll give me a definite answer.” 

Geez!” 

Josef cursed a few times, Give me the video, and I’ll talk to him myself.· 

Eleanor panicked for a moment, her palms sweating with anxiety. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, steadied herself, and calmly replied

Mr. Caporal, threatening Mr. Laurence to get the project for you in this way has already made him quite unhappy with you. If you personally show him this video, it will only enrage him even more. At that time, you’ll not only completely offend him, but also risk losing the project. That would be counterproductive, don’t you think?” 

Josef considered and thought Eleanor made sense

Threatening Bernard through Eleanor was already not aboveboard. If he threatened him again, it might make Bernard fight back out of desperation

He ended the conversation, On the 9th, I want to see the contract. Otherwise, I’ll have my friends humiliate your bestie at her wedding!”
