Chapter 284: Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Eleanor went silent and didn’t reply to him. Her indifferent eyes seemed emotionless, leaving Ethan puzzled.

A few seconds later, he nonchalantly said, “If you don’t answer, just stay by my side and continue being Emilia’s substitute...”

Eleanor clenched her fists and asked instead, “So, Mr. Ziegler, can we get divorced?”

Upon hearing this, Ethan mistook her admission for capitulation, and a scornful sneer crept onto his face. “You’re nothing like your sister. Had she been hurt, she’d never return. Yet, a few honeyed words from that wretch, and you readily throw yourself back into his arms.”

Eleanor remained silent and agreed with him, “Yeah, I’m nothing like my sister. You know this well but still forced me to be her...”

Ethan’s expression froze, and he didn’t respond. Eleanor continued, “Mr. Ziegler, I’m well aware that you see me as my sister not just because of this heart but also to alleviate your guilt towards her.”

Ethan scoffed upon hearing this. “How could I possibly feel guilty towards her?”

“Really?”

Eleanor asked and then calmly said, “My sister chose to end her life early to escape from you, which means the pain you brought her was worse than death. You see me as her only to make up for the past, but Mr. Ziegler, no matter what you do, my sister is never coming back. Why deceive yourself with a false illusion?”

Hearing this, Ethan’s face darkened, and an eerie aura enveloped him.

Eleanor recognized that her words had hit home, revealing his hidden sentiments. Fearing his wrath but driven by courage, she persevered, “Mr.

Ziegler, my sister’s dying wish was to ensure my safety, not to have me step into her shoes. If your desire to make amends is sincere, set me free.”

Standing still, Ethan coldly stared at Eleanor, “All this talk, just for a divorce, right?”

Eleanor, seeing he understood her intention, stopped using her sister as a bargaining chip and simply asked, “So, Mr. Ziegler, will you let me go?”

Ethan sneered, “Don’t you think you’re being ungrateful?”

Eleanor’s expression turned awkward, and her eyes dropped.

Although she had been forced to marry Ethan, he was right, A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Having achieved her goal to return, she was now backing out, which could be seen as ungrateful.

Her silence allowed Ethan to regain the upper hand.

After staring at her for a while, he tossed the fruit knife in his hand to Eleanor.

“I told you before, if you want me to let you go, then follow your sister’s example.”

“Now I’m giving you one choice: either divorce me or give her heart back to me. You decide.”

Eleanor’s face paled, and she looked at Ethan in shock.

“If I give you her heart, then there will be no trace of my sister left in this world. Are you sure you want to do that?”

“Well, it’s better than having you, with her heart, be with another man.”

He bent down slightly, his cold, sinister eyes fixating on Eleanor.

“Ms. Shultz, I’ve always been the kind to destroy what I can’t have.”

Hearing this, Eleanor was terrified, but her mind raced, desperately trying to come up with a solution. Gradually, her anxious expression stabilized.

She looked down at the sharp knife on the tea table and then at Ethan, who was finally looking down on her....

After a minute of hesitation, Eleanor raised her slender fingers, picked up the knife, aimed at her heart, and suddenly stabbed.
