Chapter 414
Before Eleanor could touch the glass, her wrist was grabbed by Teresa.
“Ms. Shultz, you’ve seen how he treats you, why can’t you just give up?”
Teresa held an umbrella, looking down at Eleanor, who was soaked and miserable in the rain.
“Poor thing. If you’d listened to me earlier, you wouldn’t be in this mess”
Eleanor broke free of Teresa’s grip and shot her a glare before stubbornly trying to knock on the window again.
Teresa quickly blocked her with the umbrella in her hand, her gaze becoming more and more contemptuous.
“Ms. Shultz, you just begged the security guard to let you in to see Bernard. He didn’t come out. What does that tell you?”
“It means he doesn’t want to see you. He’s so heartless, why can’t you give up?”
Eleanor’s clenched fist dug into her palm, breaking the skin and drawing blood.
She had no mood or energy to argue with Teresa, but Teresa wouldn’t stop nagging
“Ms. Shultz, snap out of it.”
“Bernard only thought you were pretty and had a nice body, good enough for him to play with in bed. That’s why he was with you”
“Now that he’s found new prey, he’s lost interest in you. Don’t think that just because the hasn’t said the words ‘break–up’ means he still loves you!
“Men in this world use silent treatment to force women to take the initiative to break up. You should know this very well, right?”
“So just stop it. No one’s watching. Bernard won’t feel sorry for you, so why bother..
Eleanor, who had been holding back, finally slapped Teresa hard across her face after hearing these harsh words.
*Shut up!!!*
Teresa stood there, seemingly not expecting weak Eleanor to hit her, and she trembled with anger.
She raised her hand to slap back, but her wrist was caught by Eleanor.
Before Teresa could fight back, she was pushed to the ground by Eleanor.
Eleanor stepped on Teresa, who was trying to get up.
It was as if she was venting all her anger on her, stepping hard on her heart.
If it weren’t for Teresa’s bodyguard rushing over in time to push Eleanor away, Teresa might have been crushed to death…
Teresa, who had power and influence in W City, couldn’t let this nobody get away whit
“Hold her down!”
After ordering her bodyguard to hold Eleanor down, Teresa raised her hand to slap her in the face.
At that moment, a group of people in black suits walked out of the restaurant, and Teresa spotted Bernard among them.
Scared, she quickly withdrew her hand, waved her bodyguards to retreat, and ran away.
Eleanor saw Teresa suddenly leave in a panic and turned to look at the man who appeared at the restaurant entrance.
“Bernard…”
Just as she was about to call his name, she saw him open a large black umbrella for Gianna.
He never looked back at her. Eleanor didn’t know if he didn’t see her or he was deliberately ignoring her.
She just stared blankly at the man who once said he’d make up for the rest of her life, holding an umbrella for another woman….

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...
