A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 80

Chapter 80 

Brenda asked annoyedly. “What are you doing here?” 

Eleanor guessed that she might be Ryan’s sister, so she wasn’t surprised by her arrogant behavior. 

She replied flatly. “In the restroom, of course I’m here to take a rest 

Her tone wasn’t good, as she didn’t want to tolerate people who disrespected her anymore. 

Otherwise, she’d be like Amanda, tolerating it without making them feel guilty, but only making them even more unreasonable. 

Brenda was even more unhappy when she was refuted. 

She said, “I think you’re hiding on purpose to make Jason worry about you. Don’t think that just because you’re Jason’s date for tonight, you can become his girlfriend! Jason belongs to me!” 

Brenda’s warning made Eleanor frown slightly. 

What did her hiding here have to do with Jason? She was trying to avoid Bernard. 

Was Ms. Mallory too sensitive? 

Eleanor didn’t explain, just looked at Brenda indifferently. 

“Ms. Mallory, with Mr. Clowers‘ status, I doubt you could be his girlfriend either. There’s no need to boast in front of me.” Replied 

Eleanor. 

Jason was supposed to marry Sigrid, and Brenda’s status was far inferior to Sigrid’s. She shouldn’t be dreaming. 

However, Ms. Mallory didn’t think so. She raised her hand and slapped Eleanor’s face with all her strength. 

“I’m the daughter of the Mallory family! Do I need to show off in front of you?” Said Brenda. 

This slap caught Eleanor by surprise. 

She didn’t expect that the seemingly weak Ms. Mallory would actualy slap someone. She was caught off guard and could only endure this slap. 

She initially wanted to retaliate immediately, but her body made her movements slow. Having been slapped just once, she was already feeling a bit dizzy. 

Seeing her in this state, Brenda thought she was scared and became even more smug 

She said, “I’m warning you, stay away from Jason, or next time it won’t just be a slap waiting for you!” 

After saying this, Brenda turned and left the bathroom. 

Eleanor watched her retreating figure, and the scene in front of her suddenly became blurry. 

Just as she was about to fall, she vaguely saw a man rushing in and catching her fainting body. 

When she recovered, she saw that the person who had caught her was actually Bernard. 

Her heart, which had stopped beating, suddenly started beating violently again, and her nervous expression appeared on her face, “Mr. Laurence…” 

On Bernard’s cold face, there was no expression, but his slightly furrowed brows made him look irritated and restless. He asked, “What happened to you?” 

After calming down, Eleanor whispered, “I was just slapped by Ms Mallory and almost fainted.” 

Fortunately, this time she only fainted for a few seconds and could use it as an excuse. 

Bernard’s frown deepened, “For Jason, you’re really willing to be slapped. You really love him, huh?” 

His voice was full of sarcasm, and it gave off a chilling vide that made Eleanor feel uncomfortable. 

As the subtle feeling towards him gradually faded, she replied indifferently, “if Mr. Clowers knew I was hit by Ms. Mallory, his impression of her would definitely be bad, so this slap is worth it.” 

Bernard didn’t expect her to have such a mentality, and his gaze at her became even more contemptuous. 

“You really are scheming” Said Bernard. 

He released his arm around Eleanor’s waist, took out a tissue, and slowly wiped his fingers. 

This action made Eleanor feel extremely awkward. If he despised her so much, why did he help her?
