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. Law” be?
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.”

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...
