Chapter 902
Robin gritted his teeth, fighting the metallic taste of blood in his mouth, and retorted painfully at
Bernard, “Tor the record, it was Eleanor’s mother who pressured my dad into the engagement The
woman my dad’s always been in love with is my mom!”
His parents, in their quest to save face in their marriage, had conveniently shifted the blame onto
Vanya Pine Clever ploy, really No wonder their son turned out so ‘naive…
Bernard didn’t want to argue with Robin on this He just responded coldly. “Look up what the Pine family
did back in the day yourself”
Was he suggesting his parents had lied to him? Impossible. His parents loved him, they would never
deceive him.
Robin found himself cornered. Bernard leveled a frosty glare at him, “By my estimate, you’ve got
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtroughly twenty minutes. Reveal why your mother is seeking Eleanor within that timeframe, and I might
consider saving you.”
Despite his heart remaining unscathed, he risked succumbing to blood loss. Robin was no stranger to
such perilous circumstances, having engaged in this deadly dance numerous times. He needed to think
this through.
Shaking off his daze, Robin resolved to ponder his options, but he refrained from spilling the true
motive to Bernard. Instead, he offered a compromise, ‘Fine, take Eleanor and accompany me to G
Country My mother merely wishes to meet her sister’s offspring.”
Once they set foot in G Country, the Spencers domain, he could seize both Eleanor and Bernard in one
fell swoop, settling the score for today’s embarrassment
Thankfully, Robin had preemptively swallowed a mood stabilizer before stepping out, enabling him to
construct this escape plan while maintaining his composure.
His meticulously crafted plan nearly betrayed him. Bernard saw straight through his façade, “Do you
genuinely expect me to believe you?”
His gaze flickered to his steadily bleeding wound Impatience creeping in, yet Robin willed himself to
maintain his calm.
“Maybe like you said, my mom did something wrong to her sister and wants to apologize, or she wants
to tell Eleanor a secret about her sister. That’s why she wants to see
Eleanor one last time”
Robin’s explanation was more convincing than before. Bernard seemed almost swayed, but….
Bernard looked up at a pale–faced Robin, “There’s something about you… reminds me of myself.”
Robin thought he would either agree or refuse outright. He didn’t expect him to say something like that.
Although Bernard seemed a bit off, Robin asked out of curiosity. “What part of me reminds you of
yourself?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBernard gave a slow smile. “The willingness to protect those you want to protect, even at the risk of
your own life, without choosing betrayal.”
What did he mean by that?
Robin was completely baffled He looked at Bernard and said, “Sometimes, I really think you’re nuts.”
Bernard lifted a finger, tapping on the car window, “Give him the hemostatic…”
The bodyguard waiting outside immediately turned around, got a bottle of hemostatic from another car,
and handed it to Robin.
Robin accepted the medicine, puzzled again, “Bernard, I really think you’re not just nuts, you’re
seriously messed up.”
Robin thought to himself, “He attacked me without asking for a reason, said some cryptic things, and
now he’s giving me a hemostatic? Doesn’t that prove he’s seriously messed up?”
