Chapter 408
After he let go, her heart felt empty too.
She watched Bernard from afar, as he listened intently to a lady, her mood sinking lower and lower
“Do you know who she is?”
Teresa walked up to Eleanor, both of them looking in the same direction.
Eleanor didn’t reply, but Teresa began to mutter to herself.
“She’s Gianna Penrod, one of the Big Four in the M Continent, the darling of the Penrot family.”
Teresa turned her head to look at Eleanor who maintained a calm face.
“Her background is so formidable that even I wouldn’t dare to stand against her. You can’t even surpass me. Do you think you can snatch Bernard away?”
Eleanor looked at Teresa.
“Dr. Teresa, if I have to snatch someone to make them love me, then I don’t need them I suggest you give up on that idea too.”
She turned to leave the racecourse but Teresa insisted on following her.
“Ms. Shultz, if Bernard truly loved you, he wouldn’t have let go of your hand without hesitation to follow Ms. Penrod.”
“He clearly doesn’t care about your feelings or value you. You’ll get hurt bad if you continue.”
Eleanor suddenly turned back to look at Teresa, “Maybe you don’t know it, but I’ve been hurt once, I’m not afraid of a second time.”
Teresa was clueless about Bernard and Eleanor’s past, so she found Eleanor’s words profound
She quickly realized that the two might have had a past, but what did it matter?
She crossed her arms and raised her chin arrogantly at Eleanor.
“So what? I’ll just wait for you to get hurt by the same man twice.”
With that, she turned and walked towards Bernard and Gianna.
Eleanor looked at these powerful people and suddenly felt like she was from a different world.
She clenched her fists and turned to flee from the stifling racecourse.
When Bernard raised his head and saw Eleanor leaving, he immediately ended the conversation with Gianna.
“Next time there’s an emergency, let your brother come to talk with me.”
“But my brother is injured, he asked me to…”
Before Gianna could finish her sentence, she saw Bernard rush off after Eleanor, causing her to shake her head.
Bernard’s obsession with that women might affect them in the future.
Teresa wanted to argue with Bernard as they passed each other, after all, his whip almost made her fall off the horse.
However, Bernard didn’t even glance at her and walked straight past her towards the racecourse exit.
Teresa’s beautiful face turned pale in an instant. But in front of Gianna, she held back her emotions.
She greeted Gianna with a smile, “Ms. Penrod.”
Gianna looked her up and down, “And you are?”
Seeing that Gianna was willing to talk, Teresa perked up and introduced herself, “Tm Teresa, a world–renowned dermatologist.”

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...
