Chapter 32
After they left, the guests around started gossiping about Eleanor, wondering how she had something to do with people like that.
Eleanor didn’t mind, but instead turned to Hailey and Austin, who were walking towards her.
“Eleanor, who are those people?”
Hailey looked at Eleanor with concern, her intuition told her that those people were bad news.
Eleanor patted her hand with a smile, “That’s the president of the Caporal Group, he came looking for me to get an important contract document.”
She said this deliberately louder.
Hailey had a small microphone on her wedding dress, and since she was standing close by, the sound naturally carried through the microphone.
When the guests heard her explanation, they started gossiping again, saying Hailey’s friend was amazing to even know the president of the Caporal Group.
Austin was from the suburbs of A City, so people didn’t know celebrities very well, but they did know the name of A City’s richest man.
Eleanor made this explanation to dispel people’s misunderstandings.
Otherwise, Austin’s relatives would definitely think that Hailey’s friends were not very decent people.
After all, “birds of a feather flock together” and that could affect someone’s reputation.
She had to explain clearly, so Hailey wouldn’t be gossiped about.
Although the guests‘ doubts were dispelled, Hailey was still uneasy, feeling that things were not that simple.
If it was really just for a contract document as Eleanor said, why would the president of the Caporal Group bring so many people?
It seemed like they were here for a fight, and he was groping Eleanor’s waist?
His actions were strange, not like pursuing Eleanor, but more like forcing and threatening her.
The more Hailey thought about it, the more worried she became, taking off the microphone from her wedding dress and looking at Eleanor with concern.
“If you’re in danger, be sure to tell me. I’ll fight for justice for you even if it kills me!”
Eleanor had always been attracting ill–intentioned people due to her beauty since she was a child.
In the past, Garett protected her, and no one dared to approach her.
Now Garett was gone, and she had to take on the responsibility of protecting Eleanor.
Hearing this, Eleanor felt deeply touched, tears welling up in her eyes.
She worried that Hailey would become even more concerned when she saw her tears, so she quickly agreed, pushing her to continue with the wedding.
After exchanging rings and having champagne, the wedding was nearing its end.
Seeing Hailey and Austin go from table to table, happily toasting, Eleanor finally felt at ease.
The wedding was a great success. Now, all she had to do was deal with Josef.
After sending Hailey and Austin to their bridal suite, she went home.
Upon returning to her bedroom, Eleanor went to change out of her bridesmaid dress, and a bank card fell out from the wardrobe.
That was her gift for Hailey, and Hailey had secretly put it back in her wardrobe.
Eleanor picked up the bank card and couldn’t help but smile.

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...
