Chapter 901
Robin dropped his gaze to the knife at his throat, a smirk playing on his lips.
“So you wanna know, huh?”
He chuckled as if he knew Bernard wouldn’t really hurt him. There was a touch of sass in his grin.
“Well, I ain’t spillin
Knife in hand, Bernard stared at Robin’s raised eyebrows. His initially emotionless eyes gradually turned icy
“You don’t have to tell me ”
As his words fell, the knife slowly slid down to his chest. Feeling his heart pounding faster, the knife pointed straight at the heart.
“But your heart, might just get ripped out.”
Robin was fully aware that if Bernard truly decided to strike, it would be a hell of a showdown. But he wasn’t scared one bit.
“If you don’t want your kin to end up like the Pine family, go on, give it a shot.”
He was the leader of the Spencer family. If Bernard actually killed him, the Spencers might end up on the Laurence family’s shit list just like the Pines.
Even with all the tricks up Bernard’s sleeve, he wouldn’t mess with his own bloodline, right?
That’s what Robin thought. He believed Bernard would consider his descendants.
However, without any hesitation, Bernard gripped the knife handle lighter, and plunged it straight in.
Feeling his heart suddenly stop beating, Robin’s face turned ashen within seconds.
Looking up at Bernard in disbelief, he stammered. “You…”
Bernard pulled out the knife, pressing the blade against his lips, “Do you know why you can never beat me?”
Robin clutched his bleeding chest, enduring the pain with a cold laugh. “Because I’m not ruthless enough, right?”
Bernard pulled out a wet wipe, slowly wiping off the blood–stained blade, “Not that you’re not ruthless, just not as ruthless as me!
He remembered Mr. Penrod telling him as a kid, as a future leader, he had to be more ruthless than anyone, or else he’d be the one to bite the dust. Bernard never forgot that and never showed mercy when dealing with enemies.
Robin always aspired to stand on equal footing with him, but alas, he’d always been a coddled child, untested by life’s harshest trials. How could one who had never traversed darkness truly embody ruthlessness?
Robin’s gaze lowered to his chest, spotting the knife that had narrowly missed his heart, prompting another burst of laughter, “If you truly had a ruthless streak, you wouldn’t have stayed your hand just now.”

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...
