Chapter 623
The man’s eyes were filled with coldness. Tve prepared a mansion for you in Y Country You’ll be on a private jet tomorrow and will live out your golden years there‘
Blakenever thought hed see the day when his own grandson would banish him abroad He looked at Beard in disbelief, ‘Do you even know who put you where you are now?”
Bernard leaned his hand against his chin and casually replied, “Of course it was you ”
Propping himself up with his walking stick, Blake scoffed. “I was beginning to think you’d forgotten”
Bernard slightly fitted his head, his indifferent gaze coldly fixed on the old man, “I wouldn’t forget, and neither would I forget your colilness back in the day”
Upon hearing this. Blake couldn’t even bear to meet his gaze and subconsciously averted his eyes. “I did wrong by you back then, but you can’t just treat your own grandfather like this over a woman, can you?” Bernard withdrew his gaze, looking out the window as he calmly said, “When I invited you to my engagement ceremony, I told you that she’s my life. Without her, there’s no me, yet you still wanted to hurt her.”
He paused for a moment, then turned back to the elderly man, “Since you don’t value my life, why should I value you?”
Blake’s heart skipped a beat as if, through Bernard, he saw his estranged son kneeling before him crying and begging him, “Dad, she’s my life Hurting her is like killing me. Please, don’t hurt her fim begging your
His handling of the matter back then had forced his son to marry Donna, leading to a tragedy that lasted for over 20 years.
Blake slowly lowered his head, seemingly lost in the past. Yet, he snapped back to reality in an instant. His son had been stubborn, and paid for it with his life He couldn’t let Bernard walk down the same path!
As he tapped on the ground with his walking stick, he told Bernard. “The head of the Laurence family must be cool headed to avoid having any weaknesses! Just like your grandmother and I, our marriage was purely business, no emotions involved That’s how I could deal with enemies decisively. They couldn’t find any weaknesses, and that’s how the Laurence family has gotten where it is today”

He went on, “it’s not just the Laurence family it’s the same for other established families. Marriage is a business link. You can’t invest emotions in it, or else once the enemy finds your weakness, the Laurence family is toast!”
The five sons in the room weren’t too pleased to hear this, especially since it involved their own mothers. They naturally resented Blake’s words
Only Veronica’s father extended a hand to his younger brother, “See, I told you our father had no feelings for our mothers. You didn’t believe me and even made a bet. Now pay up the 500 million!”
His brother was speechless. This was a bet they had made when they were ten years old. He couldn’t believe his brother still remembered it. He was over fifty now, how could his memory be so good?

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...
