A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 

Eleanor was stunned after watching the news 

What kind of power could bring down the big shot of A City overnight?! 

She suddenly remembered what the masked man said last night, that Josef wouldn’t be coming back

How did he know Josef wouldn’t come back? Could he be the one behind it

If it was him, then her previous guess that the masked man was Josef’s friend would be wrong

Moreover, Josef’s friends couldn’t possibly have such formidable skills to bring down the Caporal Group overnight

If it wasn’t Josefs friend, then who the hell could this Mr. Lawbe

Eleanor’s felt like her head was not enough to handle so many things

But at least Josef had been dealt with, and she wouldn’t have to be afraid anymore

However, she’d barely escaped from Josef’s grasp and was already being targeted by other jerks

Eleanor decided to ask the hotel manager for surveillance footage

But only footage of Josef entering and leaving her room was available, and all footage related to the man had been deleted

This made Eleanor feel even more that the man was no simple dude

Without footage and no idea who the man was, she didn’t have any evidence to press charges

But how could she just let him go

Eleanor thought of how the man didn’t threaten her with Hailey, so she bravely went to the police station

After filing a police report, she provided the man’s phone number, WhatsApp number, and all the messages he had sent to the police

But the police said the phone number wasn’t linked to any ID card, they couldn’t trace the WhatsApp address, and it was hard to locate the person

As for the messages, since she had initiated the invitation, even if he pretended to be someone else, it couldn’t serve as direct 

evidence

The police could only suggest she go to the hospital to extract any remaining semen to preserve some evidence

Disappointed, Eleanor still mustered up the courage and went to the hospital

After finishing all these, she dragged her exhausted body back home

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Hailey rushing over, looking anxious

Eleanor, where have you been? You didn’t answer my calls.” 

Eleanor picked up her phone and saw many missed calls from Hailey

She had been too busy watching the news and checking surveillance footage at the hotel to notice the missed calls

I went out shopping, and the mall was probably too noisy, so I didn’t hear the phone.” 

Actually, she had slept too deeply and didn’t hear the phone at all. Afraid of worrying Hailey, she randomly answered

Hailey, unaware that Eleanor hadn’t slept at home last night, felt relieved after hearing the explanation

Weren’t you supposed to go to Malaysia with Austin for your honeymoon today? Why are you back?” 

-Hailey and Austin had long planned to go to Malaysia for their honeymoon right after the wedding

Hailey had never been abroad and was eagerly looking forward to the trip

Why hadn’t they followed the plan and gone there, instead returning home

This morning when Austin and I left, we ran into the security guard. He said that a group of people wearing black clothes came to our door last night, but they didn’t enter. They just stood there guarding the place for about half an hour before leaving. The security guard thought it was strange, but he thought they were our relatives, so he didn’t think too much about it. He only mentioned it when he met us.”
