Chapter 903
Bernard rolled up the car window, turned his head, and said with a cool indifference, “Tomorrow at 8
am, we’ll meet at the airport”
Robin, like him, wouldn’t betray the ones he wanted to protect. For Robin, that person was his mother.
So even if it killed him, he wouldn’t spill the beans. So let’s just keep playing this game, after all, no
risk, no reward
In five months, Bernard would be off to God knows where, his fate uncertain But before that, he’d clear
the deck of any threats to Eleanor Only when she was safe and under the protection of the Laurence
family would he be able to leave with peace of mind.
And the biggest threat to Eleanor right now was Robin’s mother. Next in line was Evelyn, who was
fighting Eleanor over the kid. Once he’d dealt with Robin’s mother, Evelyn was next. He would clear the
path for Eleanor, no matter what.
Robin had assumed Bernard would reject his proposition outright. However, Bernard’s swift agreement
took him aback. What was he planning now?
Burned once, Robin swiftly pieced together the potential implications of Bernard’s plan. Yet, still in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcrosshairs, he refrained from exposing Bernard’s machinations. His priority was to get back, alert his
mother to brace herself. That held more importance than engaging Bernard in a battle of wits.
With this rationale, Robin chose to play along. “You’re welcome to use my private jet
Bernard, already disembarked, swiveled around, casting a downward glance at Robin, “Mr. Spencer,
you appear to forget, the game is never played on your terms ” With a final statement, he forcefully shut
the car door From the exterior, a chilling voice echoed, “The car gets dirty, so feel free to abandon it.”
Elbert was throttling his motorcycle at a breath–taking pace, making a beeline for the Fiord
Roundabout.
He slammed the brakes, a plume of black smoke unfurling in his wake as he screeched to a halt.
Removing his helmet. Elbert twisted around to check on Eleanor, “Eleanor, are you alright?”
Eleanor gave her head a shake, and once her sense of balance restored, she gestured to Elbert, “I’m
okay, I’ll dismount now…”
She grabbed hold of the rail and climbed down from the high motorcycle. The moment her feet touched
the ground, she let out a sigh of relief-
The motorcycle had been going too fast, it had scared the living daylights out of her. She was never
going to ride it again, it was just too terrifying. Elbert saw her pale face and the queasy expression on
her face and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Eleanor, you really can’t handle it. What are you going to do next time Bernard and I race, and you
have to ride with me?”
Yes, Elbert had it all planned out.
Waiting for the right moment, he would challenge Bernard to another race. Loser slaps the winner four
times.
With his riding skills, there was no way he was going to lose to old man Bernard again.
Twenty–year–old Elbert was convinced that Bernard’s win last time was just a fluke.
Just as he was mulling this over, his phone started buzzing non–stop.
He took out his phone, saw it was a call from Robin, and quickly answered, “Hello”
“So you were the one who helped Eleanor escape from the cafe?”
“Yeah, things got pretty hairy there. I was worried something might happen to her, so I helped her get
away…”
“You idiot!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn ear–splitting shout came from the other end of the line, tinged with a note of exhaustion.
Elbert held the phone away from his ear, waiting until Robin had vented before bringing it back.
“She’s my cousin, of course I’m going to protect her…”
His unrepentant attitude made Robin so angry he pushed away the bodyguard’s hand
He’d planned to kidnap Eleanor, but ended up getting kidnapped by Bernard instead.
Given Bernard’s intricate scheme, it was understandable that Nathan had failed. But what he just
couldn’t wrap his head around was why Elbert had helped Eleanor escape
“Elbert, you knew my mother wanted to see Eleanor. Why didn’t you just take her to the G country after
you helped her escape?”
“Well… I needed her consent, didn’t I? Can’t just drag her off…”
Elbert said in a wronged tone, “You know I don’t do that sort of thing anymore.”
Robin was so angry it hurt, he almost started bleeding again, “You”
He clenched his teeth, but didnt let it out. Some things Elbert couldn’t know, so he couldn’t have
warned him in advance. Blaming him now would only give himself away.
Even though Nathan had failed, Bernard agreeing to bring Eleanor to see his mother the next day could
be considered a ‘success‘ of sorts
