Chapter 619
A man stepped out of one of the luxury cars, treading on marble steps. He was followed by a few suited bodyguards carrying briefcases, and entered the courtyard.
Walking through the winding corridor, and passing round archways and corner stone statues Through the lavish entrance hall across the cloister, and straight into the living room.
The living room was all glitz and glamour. The wooden tables, chairs, sofas, and countless decorations of various shapes and colors highlighted luxury
The elder members of the Laurence family were already seated all over the living room, fervently discussing the purpose of this meeting
1 bet hes pissed that we didn’t show up to his proposal ceremony
“That Ms Shultz, is she even worth our time?”
Exactly, a woman who can’t even compare to us in status, is not even worthy enough to polish my shoes, why should we go?”
“Right, even if he’s the family’s head, we don’t have to bend over backwards for him Not just the proposal ceremony, we won’t go to the wedding!”
Yeah, we wont go to the wedding either, let’s see what he can do to us…”
Apart from these elders, the younger generation of the Laurence family was also present. Upon hearing these discussions, their faces turned grim. They all remained silent. Only the youngest, Sigrid, looked quite discontent and scoffed
“You guys think he cares whether you attend or not? If he didn’t want to show complete sincerity to Eleanor, you probably wouldn’t even have received an invitation. You say you won’t even go to his wedding, have the guts to say it to his face. Let’s see if he would invite you”
Being accused by the younger generation, made the uncles uncomfortable and they started pointing fingers at Sigrid’s parents
Look at this, this is the excellent student you’ve raised. Doesn’t even have basic manners, and you dare call her an excellent student)”
1think either she’s become stupid from studying abroad, or she’s been corrupted by Chase”
Im sure its Chase who corrupted her, that’s why she doesn’t show respect to her elders.”
“If she respected her elders, she wouldn’t have let Cedric take her to the hospital for an abortion….”
“Abortion? Whose child?”
“Who else, Chases child of course!”
Upon hearing these words, Sigrid’s face turned as cold as ice. She was unable to utter a word.
Veronica, heard the conversation becoming increasingly inappropriate, picked up her phone and slammed it on the table She was about to blow up, when a group of people walked in through the door.
The moment Bernard appeared in the living room with his bodyguards, all discussions ceased. The room was so quiet that it was as if there was no one there. The man who walked in from the outside didn’t even glance around He walked directly towards the head of the room with a cold expression
Blake, leaning on his cane, was sitting at the head. His face turned to an ugly grimace as he saw Bernard enter. But he invited him to sit down.
Bernard gave the old man a cold look. He didn’t greet him, and sat down next to him. The man leaned back on the single leather sofa, his long legs spread out lazily under his suit pants. His posture and demeanor were like a king’s
He relaxed casually One hand supported his chin. He lifted his icy eyes, and looked at the relatives sitting below one by one.
What were you just discussing? Say it again, let me hear it.”
Those who had been accusing Sigrid fell silent immediately, not daring to speak. They all lowered their heads, disappearing into the crowd.
“I gave you a chance to refute Since you all choose to stay silent, then listen to me!
The man sitting at the head, slightly tilted his head, revealing a face of clear contours under the dim light.
Those who slandered my wife and blamed my sister, don’t have to come to work at the Laurence Group anymore. As for the shares…”

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...
