Chapter 83
Eleanor was still shocked that Jason would actually stand up for her when she heard Brenda blaming her instead. Eleanor didn’t want to pursue it originally, but when Ms. Mallory wrongly accused her, she couldn’t help but get angry.
Just as she was about to argue with Brenda, she suddenly heard a cold voice from behind, “Has Ms. Mallory been learning to twist right and wrong at school these past few years?”
In the crowd, dressed in a black suit was the man standing under the light and exuding a somewhat cold atmosphere.
Hearing this, Eleanor knew it was Bernard and was grateful to him for standing up for her.
Bernard glanced at Jason holding Eleanor’s hand, his expression ambiguous.
He walked down the steps and stood in front of Brenda.
“I just happened to be passing by when Ms. Mallory was humiliating someone.” He replied coldly, and Brenda’s face instantly changed.
She still wanted to argue, but Bernard swept her with his icy eyes.
Brenda had never seen such a terrifying gaze, even though his eyes were beautiful, the chill they emitted was enough to make her shiver.
Frightened, she immediately stopped any rebuttal and even forgot to how to breath.
Ryan finally realized his sister was in trouble and quickly rushed over.
Bernard gave him a cold glance. “The Mallory family does have good manners.”
With that, he and Cedric left with their bodyguards.
Watching the two men walk away, Jason was a bit surprised that Bernard had stepped in to help them.
He guessed that maybe Bernard also looked down on women who played games.
With this thought, Jason didn’t dwell on it and turned his attention back to Brenda, “I’ll say it again, apologize!”
The anger from Jason was enough to prompt Ryan to hurriedly askd Brenda what had happened.
At this point, Brenda could no longer lie, and she had no choice but to admit with tears that she had slapped Eleanor out of jealousy.
Ryan was about to help his sister, but his anger dissipated and he said angrily, “You should apologize!”
After saying that, he added, “After apologizing, come back with me lo get punishment from dad.”
Derek was entertaining the elders in the banquet hall and had no idea what was happening outside.
He didn’t know that the two Laurence Group brothers had already left, thinking they were just socializing with other young people.

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...
