Chapter 406 She just saw Bernard gently and lovingly helping Eleanor with her helmet, and Teresa couldnât help but feel a pang of envy Even though both Teresa and Eleanor were pretty, and Teresa was even bom into a much wealthier family, with more knowledge and abilities than Eleanor could ever dream of, yet, Bernard was all over Eleanor and not her. It was mindâboggling.
Seeing Teresaâs confident look, Eleanor said, âWhy donât you ask him?â
She didnât know why Bernard fell head over heels for her, so she couldnât answer Teresaâs question.
But to Teresa, this sounded like a provocation. Her face fell, âMs. Shultz, whereâs your superiority complex coming from?â
Eleanor frowned, confused, âDr. Teresa, you asked, I answered. What does that have to do with feeling superior?
Teresa scoffed, âYouâre only acting high and mighty because you have Bernard backing you up.â
Eleanor felt like she was talking to a brick wall and decided not to respond anymore Seeing Eleanor silent, Teresa assumed she had conceded. A smirk crept onto her face But she kept her superior attitude, asking Eleanor, âMs. Shultz, has he proposed to you yet?â
Hearing that, Eleanor instinctively looked down and stared at her black boots, not uttering a word.
Seeing Eleanorâs reaction, Teresa got the hint, âJust as I thought, thereâs no way heâd propose to you on a whim.â
Teresa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, leaning back on the bench, crossing her arms and tilting her chin up as if to warn Eleanor.
âMs. Shultz, as your former doctor, I should remind you. The fact that heâs treating you special now doesnât mean heâll marry you!
âGuys like him, born with silver spoons in their mouths, they usually marry into other wealthy families. Your status wouldnât even make the cut in the Laurence family.â
âSo wake up. Heâs probably just messing around with you. Once heâs had his fun, hell ditch youâ
âWomen over thirty shouldnât waste their prime years on a man whoâll never marry them.â

Her harsh words fell on Eleanorâs ears, making the already insecure woman feel even worse.
She shifted her gaze away from the riding arena, looking at Teresa.
âDr. Teresa, I should remind you too. Youâve been crushing on Bernard since college. But heâs never been interested in you. Was it worth it to waste your youth on a man whoâll never love you?â
Teresaâs face froze as she was caught off guard by Eleanorâs rebuttal. Just as she was about to retaliate, Eleanor calmly continued.
âAnd youâre wrong about one thing. There are many people like me in this world. And many wealthy families started out just like me. So how do you know I canât become one of them?â
When Eleanor finished, the determination and confidence in her eyes was something Teresa didnât have.
Having spent her life feeling inferior, she got a second chance at life through her sisterâs heart and identity. How could she just give in to fate again?
Teresa, who always looked down on others, couldnât reconcile the woman in front of her with the woman who was lying in the hospital bed two months ago, who seemed to have shed her old skin and put on a new one.
Teresa was amazed by her transformation, but she believed Eleanorâs confidence was all thanks to Bemard, which only made her despise Eleanor more.
She picked up her helmet, stood up, and said to Eleanor with scorn, âI can guarantee heâll never marry youâ
