Chapter 142 She turned her head to look at the man who was tightly hugging her.
His face was cold and serious, with thin lips tightly pressed together.
The rage on his face showed that he had heard their conversation.
He probably misunderstood that she was going to leave with Jason, so he came out to stop them.
Now that he had already done such an outrageous thing in front of Jason, why wouldnât he let her go?
Eleanor lowered her eyes, hiding her complex emotions under her long eyelashes.
Seeing that she wasnât resisting, Bernardâs expression softened a bit, but his eyes were still locked on Jason.
âMr. Clowers is planning to take away someone Iâve grown tired of playing with. How touching...â
Such insulting words infuriated Jason.
He clenched his fists and charged up to punch Bernard.
But having suffered a severe head injury and being soaked in the rain, Jason was no match for Bernard.
His punch didnât even touch Bernardâs clothes before being kicked to the ground.
âYouâre in over your head!â
Bernard flicked his sleeve contemptuously, mocking Jason lying on the ground.
His indifference towards Jasonâs wellâbeing made Eleanor more and more disappointed in him...
She coldly pushed Bernard away, rushed to Jason, and squatted down to help him up.
âGarett, are you okay? Are you hurt?â
Seeing her worried and anxious for another man, the anger in Bernardâs eyes intensified.
It was like something important had been taken away, making him uncontrollably want to take it back.
âCome here...â
His selfârestraint and rationality kept him in check.
He just stood there, looking down at the two on the ground.
His expression was filled with orders, warnings, and impending punishment if she disobeyed.
Facing his gaze, Eleanor felt exhausted and didnât want to go over at all...
But she knew his character. If she didnât do as he wanted, he would never let her and Jason leave safely.
Eleanor sighed, helped Jason up, placed him on the couch, and softly said, âGarett, wait here for a little while. Iâll talk to him and then Iâll leave with you, okay?â
Jason did not want her to return to Bernard, but hearing that she would leave with him, he could not help but feel relieved.
âAlright.â
He obediently nodded his head, like when they were kids, believing and agreeing with whatever she said.
Eleanor smiled at him and turned to face Bernard, âMr. Laurence, you heard what we said just now, right?â
He tightly pursed his thin lips, saying nothing, confirming that he had indeed heard their conversation. So Eleanor continued.
âEver since we were kids, we grew up together, understanding, supporting, and loving each other. We promised to be together forever, but because he spoiled me too much, I became capricious and careless. I got angry with him on the street, and as a result, he got hit by a car.
The only thing I could do was to sell my body to get money for his surgery. You know what happened later. Because he lost his memory and because of his brother, I misunderstood him and angrily signed that agreement with you...â
Bernard coldly responded, âSo youâre saying that you werenât really willing to be with me?â
Eleanor nodded, âYes, I didnât want to. Thatâs why I havenât spent any of your money in the past five years, because I didnât want to owe you anything.
Now that my Garett is back by my side and our misunderstandings have been resolved, I want to go back to him and be with him. Mr. Laurence, can you let me go?â
