A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1421

Yates arched a skeptical brow, seemingly caught off guard by Bernard’s offer.

Was it sheer desperation to save Eleanor, or did he have an ulterior motive?

Yates didn’t trust Bernard all that much, yet he was dying to know who the founder of the Siren Organization really was. His eyes, seasoned by years of life’s trials, spun with the complexity of human nature.

“If you’re playing me, you’ll never see Eleanor again.” The cunning and shrewd always overthink, resorting to threats.

That was what made Yates detestable, and Bernard found it utterly contemptible.

“What right do you have to threaten me now?”

Bernard’s voice, deep and clear, flowed through the intercom into Yates’ ears.

“I’m only negotiating because of my wife.”

The unspoken message was clear: if Eleanor wasn’t in Yates’ clutches, would Bernard even bother with negotiations?

He would have stormed the biozone like he had other territories, capturing Yates without a second thought, not patiently hashing

out terms.

Now, a thoroughly defeated Yates truly had no ground to stand on. He couldn’t possibly harm Eleanor, could he?

After all, how could Yates harm Eleanor, the granddaughter he had finally-found?

But Yates suspected Bernard’s offer was a ruse.
