Chapter 873
At about quarter past six, the man who heard about Eleanor getting hit by his grandfather came strutting in from outside the castle, long legs moving fast.
He had a whole squad of bodyguards trailing behind him, and they all lined up behind the folks from the Laurence family who were sitting on the couch.
The scene was like they were there to wipe them out. The distant relatives of the Laurence family got a bit antsy and shrunk back
Arlene just scoffed and sneered, “What’re you up to?”
Bemard didn’t even glance at her, walking straight to Eleanor and checking out her arm. The bright red mark of a cane on her exposed arm, was indented into her skin, it was clear that a lot of force had been used
Bernard tenderly touched it, and Eleanor winced in pain. It wasn’t an act – it really hurt likely a bone injury.
When she pulled back her arm, Bernard’s heart ached too. “Aidyn, get a doctor, now!
T
Aidyn agreed, whipping out his phone and calling Liana, asking her to bring an orthopedic doctor ASAP
Bernard tenderly ran his hand through Eleanor’s hair, his voice filled with determination. I will seek justice on your behalf.”
Having finished speaking, he stood tall and fixed a piercing gaze upon the old man You were responsible for this, weren’t you?”
Blake exhibited no shame as he unabashedly admitted, “So what if I was? Are you going to retaliate?”
As the elder and Bernard’s grandfather, he saw no issue with disciplining his wife, especially considering her connection to the Pine family.
Bernard emitted a cold laugh, his icy gaze shifting towards Scott. “Bring me the card
Without hesitation, Scott handed over the fractured walking stick to Bernard.
Bernard took hold of it and tossed it before Blake. “Whichever hand you used, use that one to strike yourself. Do it on your own accord.”
Blake and the rest of the Laurence family were left in stunned silence. Arlene was the first to regain her composure, her words filled with indignation, “He is your grandfather! Are you truly going to let him harm himself over an enemy? Do you not possess any respect for your elders?”
Eleanor attempted to pull Bernard back upon hearing these words, but he firmly held her hand and settled down beside her, crossing his long legs. Tilting his sharply chiseled chin, he locked eyes with Blake and uttered with a piercing gaze, “She is my wife, and he struck her. Does that demonstrate any respect for me?”
Arlene, unable to keep her cool, pointed at Eleanor and accused, “Grandpa knew she’s from the Pine family and was worried she had ulterior motives for marrying you. He just scolded her a bit and she argued back, saying it had nothing to do with her. Clearly, she was the one being disrespectful, that’s why grandpa hit her!”
The Laurence family chimed in, “Yeah, you can’t just ignore that. She was the one bang disrespectful to Blake first. Can’t an elder discipline anymore?”
Eleanor, who was initially going to let it go, closed her mouth when she heard this. Her clear eyes stared straight at Blake.

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...
