Chapter 778
“Mr. Spencer, what can I do for you?”
Robin was a looker, but he’s got a bit of a short fuse
The last time he rented out the whole place looking for Emilia, Hailey was so scared she didn’t dare make a peep.
She was scared out of her wits, but to protect Eleanor, she tricked Robin into thinking Emilia had skipped town for G country
Now he’s back and probably knows she lied, coming at her like a bully looking for a fight.
While Hailey’s trying to figure out why Robin’s looking for her, she’s acting cool as a cucumber and flashing him a smile.
When dealing with hot–headed folks, you’ve got to keep it cool and play along.
“Same question where’s Emilia?”
Robin’s standing there, hands in his pockets, a head taller than Hailey, and he has to look down to see her
Luckily, he popped a pill before he left the house to keep his temper in check, otherwise, he would’ve blown his top by now
As the head honcho of the Spencer family, his status is no joke. And here’s Hailey, making him stand while talking. She didn’t know the first thing about doing business.
Hailey was just so scared that she forgot to invite him to sit down in a private room. It’s not like she didn’t know how to do business
For any other rich guy, she would’ve rolled out the red carpet.
But because she lied to him, Hailey’s guilty conscience was making her hesitate
But now that he’s only asking about Emilia and not giving her a hard time, Hailey breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like Robin’s just like she thought, too impatient to look up Emilia’s flight information and ended up buying her story
If he bought her story, then he wouldn’t come back looking for payback. That’s not too bad.
But how’s she going to explain Emilia?
Hailey thought it over and decided to keep up the charade.
He didn’t seem too bright anyway.
“UmHailey coughs, covering her mouth, and puts on a sad face. “Emilia passed away. She was buried not long ago. If you came a bit earlier, you could’ve seen her one
last time
“What?”
Robin looked like he’s been struck by lightning, his eyes burning with rage and glaring at Hailey.
“Say that again!”
Hailey’s hand is at the small of her back, and she is pinching herself hard while forcing the tears to come out.
“Mr Spencer, Emilia’s dead.”
Robin feels suffocated, not because of Emilia’s death but because the person he’s been looking for so long is suddenly dead.
“Where’s her grave?”
Robin was half–believing, half–doubting The news he got was that Emilia was still alive
Her company, Vanguard Architects, was still up and running. How could she be dead all of a sudden?
What he didn’t know was that Ethan Ziegler had already changed all of Emilia’s information from recent years to prevent the Pine family from finding her, including the news
of her death
And Bernard had also changed all the information to prevent Robin from tracing it back to Eleanor, who has used Emilia’s identity.

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...
