Chapter 877
Blake got up, “Come to the study with me.”
Did he mean he didn’t want to discuss it in front of Cleaner and Cedric?
Cedric and Eleanor exchanged glances, then looked at Bemard.
Bemard didn’t move, “Is there something they can’t hear?”
Blake turned around and said coldly, “You can ecide if you want to tell them after you hear it.”
Bernard’s handsome brow furrowed slightly. After a few seconds of hesitation, he looked at Aidyn. “Is
Liana here yet?”
Aidyn respectfully responded. The hospital is quite a distance away, but she’s on her way and should
arrive soon.”
Bernard shifted his focus, tenderly holding Eleanor’s hand. “Are you in significant pain, my love?”
Eleanor’s heart warmed at his caring gaze. “I’m feeling better now. Don’t worry about the. There are

Bemard affectionately stroked her hair, then addressed Aldyn with a cold tone. “Once Liana arrives,
ensure she promptly tends to my wife.”
Aidyn nodded in understanding, and Bernard rose from his seat, heading towards the study.
Mr Laurence sat on the sofa, silently observing his surroundings. When Bernard entered with an
expressionless face, he took a seat opposite Blake. “Let’s begin,” Bernard demanded.
Mr. Laurence wasn’t pleased with Bernard’s attitude, but he was powerless to intervene. He no longer
held control over his grandson
Blake felt a tinge of disappointment, sighing heavily. “This is a complicated matter, and it all traces back
to your father.”
As he mentioned Bernard’s father, Blake’s gaze turned from cold to gloomy, as if weighed down by a
heavy burden, making him look even more aged.
Bernard’s impression of his father was of a drunkard, always tipsy. Even if Donna hit or scolded him,
the drunkard would ignore her. There was no familial love between them, “What does he have to do
with this?”
Mr. Laurence said seriously. “Of course it has to do with your father. When he was young, he met a
woman in the G country, claimed to have fallen in love with her and wanted to marry her. I allowed him
to bring her back to meet me. She was very klicent, respectful and well–mannered. When I asked
about her family background, she said she was from the Hooper family, and I agreed.”
Bernard frowned, “If you approved of the daughter of the Hooper family, why did he erjd up marrying
Donna?”
Mr. Laurence said, “She’s not the daughter of the Hooper family. She’s the illegitimate daughter of
Jensen Pine. How could I agree to them being together?”
Bernard glanced at him, “So, you made them break up?”
Mr. Laurence nodded, then shook his head, “I initially forced them to break up, but your father was very
determined to marry her. He made a big fuss, but how could your grandmother possibly agree to the

daughter of the Pine family marrying into our family? I had no choice but to threaten your father with the
girl’s life, forcing him to marry Donna”
Blake’s guilt towards Donna started here. The Stanley family married Donna to his son for a business
alliance, and he did it to make his son forget the illegitimate daughter of the Pine family.
“On their wedding day, I had your father take some concoction. Not long after, Donrii became pregnant
with your older brother. But your father never forgot about the girl from the Pine family. Donna might’ve
found out, and it weighed on her. She always had conflicts with your father during her pregnancy.
“Your father found Donna to be controlling and somewhat neurotic, leading him to consider a divorce.
However, Donna’s love for him was profound, having admired him since their youth. It was already
difficult for her to become his wife, so she resisted the idea of a divorce, As a result, your father felt
trapped, often staying abroad for extended periods, sometimes up to six months…
“Perhaps I was too lenient at that time. I didn’t harm the other woman; I simply ensured her departure.
Now, fate has brought them together again in a foreign location. After experiencing the volatility of his
relationship with Donna and reuniting with a lost love, your father’s mental state has become chaotic,
leading to a complete mess.“
