Chapter 771
Eleanor was giving Elbert the eye, but he didn’t give a hoot. He cocked an eyebrow at her, then turned to stride towards the VIP room
He extended an arm gracefully, gesturing an invitation towards Bernard Mr. Laurence, how about a game?”
“Mr Laurence, don’t play with him!”
Fiman, Kenny, Jose, and Jeff popped out from the VIP room, trying to stop Bernand
“He’s the kingpin of the casino here, nobody has ever beat him.” Fiman was the first to step forward, positioning Bernard behind him and trying to persuade Elbert to become
a casino owner
“Mr. Pine, you’re a regular here, and it’s Mr. Laurence’s first time. Isn’t it a bit bullyish of you to invite him to play?”
Elbert snorted at this
“Fiman, are you trying to use your status as a casino owner to meddle with our game?”
“That’s not what I mean.”
“So, what do you mean, then?”
Fiman’s expression turned icy
“Mr. Pine, if you want to play with Mr. Laurence, fine, but let’s not gamble, let’s change the rules”
Elbert always won at gambling Even though Bernard had just won a game, compared to Elbert, who was a regular in the casino, he was just small fry
Everyone knew what kind of guy Elbert was; they couldn’t just let Bernard get duped
Seeing a group of young guys stand up for Bernard, all Elbert could do was sneer.
It was a sight to behold, seeing people actually help a cold guy like Bernard.
Elbert was still somewhat intimidated by Fiman, after all, he still relied on Fiman’s family here, so he nodded in agreement.
“Alright, we’ll change the game, I’ll win no matter what anyway
Elbert finished, turned, and gazed towards the floor–to–ceiling window at the end of the hallway
“How about a race?”
Bernard, holding Eleanor’s hand, gave Elbert a cold glance.
“Are you sure?”
Racing was Bernard’s specialty He was crowned a top racer when he was only 18.
Elbert suggested a race with him, wasn’t he just asking for trouble?
“Let’s go!”
Elbert didn’t answer Bernard’s question, he just strutted off downstairs.
Watching the arrogant young man’s retreating figure, Fiman shook his head.
“He’s still too young how could he possibly beat Mr. Laurence in a race?”
“Even though that’s true, Mr. Laurence hasn’t driven in a long while.”
“Absolutely, all his accolades were from when he was 17, and given his age now, does he even remember how to drive?”
Fiman’s gaze shifted from Elbert’s back to Bernard’s.
“All we can do is pray that Mr. Laurence’s memory serves him well and doesnt mix up the accelerator for the brake.”
Jose, Kenny, Jeff
He’s only in his thirties, surely his memory isn’t so bad that he has dementia?
They quickly arrived at the race track.
With a wave of Elbert’s hand, two vehicles were immediately brought out.
Seeing the two vehicles, Fiman and the rest were taken aback.
“Motorcycles?”
They had initially thought it would be a four–wheel drive race, not a two–wheel motorcycle race.

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...
