Chapter 870
There’s a whole bunch of people, all members of the Laurence family led by Blake.
These included relatives Cedric had mentioned and others Eleanor barely knew, having only seen them at the wedding.
The minute they laid their eyes on Eleanor, they were seething with hostility. They looked like they wanted to tear her into pieces right there and then
Under such gazes, Eleanor started breaking out in a cold sweat, instantly soaking her clothes
Blake, leaning on his cane, approached Eleanor, sizing her up with his sharp eyes.
“Should I call you Ms. Shultz, or Ms. Elena?”
Looks like Robin had spilled the beans.
Eleanor gripped her phone tightly, glancing back at Scott.
Scott, sitting in the car, had already sent a message to Bernard. Seeing Eleanor looking his way, he nodded at her immediately.
Taking the hint, Eleanor gathered her courage to face Blake again.
“Grandpa, let’s go inside to talk.”
“No!”
Blake raised his hand to stop her. “Don’t call me grandpa.”
Despite her inner turmoil, Eleanor kept her composure and responded gently, “Then just call you Blake.”
Blake scoffed dismissively. “Whatever you call me, it can’t change the fact that youte from the Pine family. You changed your name, got close to my grandson, schemed your way into becoming his wife. What are you up to? Are you seeking revenge against the Laurence family, or after our wealth?”
Eleanor paused, then replied, “Blake, I grew up in an orphanage in A City. My name was given by the headmistress, as was my ID. I’m Eleanor, and I’ve never changed my name. If you don’t believe me, you can check. There are records”
Blake didn’t buy it. “The Pine family excels in forging IDs. I’ve been fooled once, do you think I would fall for it again?”
Eleanor was puzzled, but didn’t have time to think it over. “Blake, everything I said is true. I’ve always been Eleanor. As for Ms. Elena, I only found out recently Besides, my mother has been expelled from the Pine family. She and I have nothing to do with the Pine family anymore. Moreover, my mother might not even be from the Pine family. You can’t…”
Blake cut her off impatiently. “Enough, no amount of explanation will do.”
In other words, as long as she was from the Pine family, regardless of her reasons, like would never let her off.
Eleanor said nothing more. “Blake, why did you bring all these people? What do you Want?”
Blake was direct. “Divorce Bernard, and leave the Laurence family immediately.”
Eleanor responded somewhat helplessly, “Blake, I’m afraid I can’t agree to that.”
How could she divorce Bemard? How could she survive without him?

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...
