A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611 

Eleanor felt a pang in her heart as she lowered her head. What kind of background could she have had as an orphan? 

Blake sneered when he saw her silence. Tve done my homework on your You’re an orphan. Even though you’ve found your sister, she’s just a designer, how could she ever match up to my grandson? 

True, if you compared their backgrounds, she couldn’t match up But, Even as a designer, my sister has achieved remarkable success in her field” 

He could belittle her background, but her sister was off limits 

Blake clearly looked down on a mere designer, but he didn’t argue with Eleanor, simply stating “You know that’s your sister’s achievement. It has nothing to do with you.” 

His point being, her sister’s success didn’t reflect her own. Eleanor agreed with this. But he misunderstood her She was just defending her sister.. 

Eleanor tried to explam, but Blake moved on from the first issue to the next, “Ms. Shultz, where did you graduate from?” 

This question hit her hard, darkening her eyes 

Seeing her silence, Blake answered for her, “Didn’t even get into the University of A, just some regular college. And my grandson got into a top school at a young age. You still think you’re good enough for him?” 

Eleanor’s fingers clenched tightly, as she faced Blake She was not intimidated by his aura but doubted herself because of his questions… 

Compared to her, Blake was calm, “Ms Shultz, women who have married into the Laurence family have each come from wealthy families. Even if they’re not from wealthy families, they have impressive educational backgrounds. But your background, is not even one of a regular family 

I’m not looking down on ordinary families. If you work hard and achieve a high education, I’d accept it, at least it guarantees good genes for the Laurence family. But you poor background, low education, how can I agree to this marriage?” 

Eleanor took a step back from his words, but she gathered her courage and declared her feelings for Bernard Laurence, “Mr. Laurence, I know my background isn’t good, and I didn’t get into a good college But, I will strive to improve myself and do everything I can to make myself good enough for him” 

Blake always valued talent. He scoffed, “Ms. Shultz, success in academics isn’t achieved by effort alone. If you were talented, it would have shown when you were in college. Why wait until later to further your education?” 

Eleanor looked glum Was it because she lacked talent that she didn’t get into a good college, or was it because her heart condition worsened during the exam? 

She couldn’t find the right answer anymore. Her past self was so focused on graduating and starting work to support herself, she didn’t have the courage to go back and try again. Outsiders wouldn’t understand these matters of her past. If she spoke about it, she’d probably get laughed at So Eleanor didn’t bother explaining, just quietly looked at Mr. Laurence 

“I understand your point, but I’m sorry, I won’t leave Bernard just like that.”
