A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 20

The check was kinda hard, so it hurt when it scraped against her face.

She stood still for a few seconds, then bent down silently to pick up the check.

When she saw the amount on it, the bitterness in her mouth deepened.

Five years for five billion. Well worth it.

Five years ago, she really needed the money.

But now, she didn’t.

Eleanor calmly placed the check back on

the car.

“Mr. Laurence, you are really loaded. But if I take your money, I can’t marry into the Caporal family with a clear conscience.”

What she meant was, compared to Ms. Caporal’s position, this five billion was peanuts.

Taking his money, on the other hand, would impact her chances of marrying into wealth.

It wasn’t until this moment that Bernard understood the reason she didn’t want a cent from him she had plans to marry into high

society.

All the doubts in his heart disappeared. When he looked at her again, he saw a stranger, emotionless.

“Eleanor, from now on, never appear before me again.”

Eleanor just shrugged and chuckled, “Don’t worry, I won’t.”

She never had the chance to appear before him again because there was no future for her.

Her deep love for him would also be buried in the grave with time, no one would ever know…
