A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571
Bernard was halfway through his drive when Caleb suddenly called
“Mr. Laurence, some s***t just hit the fan. Please head straight to Ethan’s villa”
Bernard’s face became serious in an mstant What’s up?”
Caleb, on the other end of the phone hesitated, saying. You’ll know when you get here”
Bernard furrowed his brows, a chill flashed in his eyes, as cold as the s****s outside the window.
After hanging up, he quickly changed course and headed toward Ethan’s villa.
Eleanor woke up from her sleep, instinctively reaching out to find the bed cold and empty.
Bernard’s gone?
Eleanor’s heart lightened, she quickly got out of bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and started searching for him.
Without even bothering with slippers, she searched the bathroom, the dressing room, and the study, but Bernard was nowhere to be found. Her panic and unease grew with each passing second
She threw on a coat, went barefoot, and ran downstairs. ‘Bryson, where the hell is Bernard?”
Bryson, who had been woken up, quickly opened the door. Seeing Eleanor’s anxious face, he reassured her, “Mr. Laurence probably had something to sort out. You know how he is, always on the move.”
Eleanor was already aware of Mr. Laurence’s identity. Bryson spoke without hiding anything: ‘He always comes back safe; don’t worry.”
Eleanor was still worried, feeling something was off Just as she was fretting, the landline in the corner of the living room started ringing.
Bryson frowned at the phone. “Odd, this phone hasn’t rung in ages, why the hell is it ringing now?”
Despite the panic, Eleanor followed Bryson toward the phone.
Bryson answered, and after a moment, his expression changed, and he turned to look at Eleanor
It’s a Mr. Ziegler for you.”
Wasn’t that Ethan?
How did he know the number to Laurence Manor, and why was he calling so late?
Eleanor hesitantly took the phone from Bryson.
As soon as she put it to her ear, Ethan’s casual voice came through.
“Bernard’s at my villa; come get him.”
Without waiting for a response, he hung up
Eleanor put down the phone and asked. “Did Bernard go out with his mask?”
Bryson shook his head, clueless “He used to wear it when he was in action. He didn’t this time.”
No mask meant he wasn’t on an S mission, he was probably on a personal vendetta, and that vendetta was likely Ethan’s.
Strangely, with Bernard’s abilities, he should’ve caught Ethan by now. How did Ethan get a chance to call her?
Eleanor was frantic, fearing for Bernard. She quickly told Bryson, Tm going to find him, and rushed out the door.
Bryson sensed it had to do with Mr. Laurence, immediately called a driver, grabbed a few bodyguards, and instructed them to follow in pursuit…
In the car, Eleanor, nervous as hell, just told the driver to step on it when a few cars surrounded them.
Men from those cars got out, waving baseball bats and smashing at their car. The bodyguards quickly got out and started fighting.
As the two groups started brawling. Eleanor’s car window was suddenly smashed from outside, and then a luxury car pulled up beside her.
After the door on her side was opened, a hand reached out from the luxury car, yanking struggling Eleanor into the car.
