A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 168

Eleanor was completely caught off guard when Joelle violently slapped her.

Her pale, delicate face instantly displayed five blood–red fingerprints, evidence of the impact. The desire to retaliate with a slap welled up inside her, but she lacked the strength to do so.

The force of the slap left her head buzzing, her heart racing, and made it difficult to catch her breath.

Physically overpowered by Joelle, she mustered all her energy to prop herself up and fixed Joelle with a cold stare.

Joelle, nonchalant, shrugged off the severity of the situation. “No big deal, just wanted to show you that messing with me carries consequences!”

In a haughty, undisciplined manner, Joelle raised her hand again, preparing to strike Eleanor’s face once more.

Gritting her teeth, Eleanor took a step back and managed to dodge the incoming slap. Realizing the urgency of the situation, she swiftly reached for her phone in her pocket, but before she could unlock it, Sophie deftly snatched it away.

Joelle’s slap missed, and seeing Eleanor trying to grab her phone to call the police made her even angrier.

Sophie took the phone away, giving Joelle a moment of relief, but seeing Eleanor still not backing down, Joelle raised her hand to slap her again.
