Chapter 856
The bodyguard standing by looked genuinely sympathetic, constantly handing him wet wipes
Once he was pretty much done throwing up, he washed his face, took the bodyguards wet wipe, and
cleaned his hands. Then he looked at himself in the mirror, gently dabbing the corners of his mouth
Mrs. Laurence seemed to be getting more and more ballsy. He had to teach her a lesson, or she might
have the audacity to challenge him
Just as Bernard was about to go give Eleanor a piece of his mind, Caleb’s call came in
He glanced at the bodyguard and said, “Out. Stand outside. No one gets in”
The bodyguard nodded and said. “Sure.”
Once the bodyguard was gone, Bernard swiped to unlock his phone and asked. “Did you find her?”
Caleb nodded. ‘We found her Sophie’s not dead. She entered the black market with Mr. Ben”
Bernard’s expression turned icy in a heartbeat. “Caleb, this is your biggest screw up since you joined

Caleb was filled with guilt and said. “I’m sorry I didn’t expect Mr. Ben to betray us I didn’t expect him not
to get rid of Sophie.”
Considering Bernard’s identity was revealed in front of Sophie and Mr. Ben knew who he was, Caleb
was feeling mighty jittery
“If they tell the black market who you are, you’re toast. What do we do?”
Caleb was anxious, if he could turn back time, he’d go back and knock some sense into his past self
Why didn’t he deal with the issue personally before leaving? What a blunder!
Dealing with Sophie was ancient history. The black market hadn’t come after him yet
This suggested Sophie and Mr. Ben hadn’t spilled the beans about his identity. He was safe for now.
But one thing Bernard couldn’t wrap his head around was why didn’t they use this ace up their sleeve?
After a few seconds of deep thought, Bernard told Caleb, ‘Don’t tip them off. In half a year, I’ll go to the
black market myself to investigate.”
Hearing Bernard’s plan to return to the black market, Caleb’s face turned pale “You almost got killed
last time. Why on earth would you go back?”
Bernard needed to find out who was pulling the strings in the black market and catch the puppet
master.
But he didn’t tell Caleb this His order was, “Find out why Robin is looking for Emilia .”
Compared to his own life, he was more worried about Eleanor. As long as she was okay, he could rest
easy.
Nodding in guilt and anxiety, Caleb said, “Please be careful. I’ll go dig up some info from Katharine
Spencer.”
Bernard grunted in response, hung up, and was about to leave when another wave of nausea hit him.
“Damn it
He emptied his stomach again, cleaned his lips, and, with a pale face, went back to find Eleanor.

Pearce and the rest of them seemed to have stronger stomachs than him, after throwing up, they were
back to their boisterous selves,
Bernard was planning to go straight to Eleanor, but seeing her radiant smile, he paused
When he was there, her friends seemed a bit uptight
When he wasn’t around, the vibe was a lot more relaxed.
In fact, it seemed a bit too relaxed
Bernard frowned. Was he that unwelcome?
He refused to believe it and walked into the dining area.
His towering figure appeared in the dining area, the noise died down instantly, and the smiles on
people’s faces froze
It seemed like he really wasn’t very popular.
Bernard took out his phone, pretended to take a call, then walked out
As soon as he left, Pearce burst out laughing, and even Aidyn seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bernard gritted his teeth, clutching his phone, leaning against the car door, staring into the dining area
