A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1287

A chill ran down Eleanor's spine as she listened, her skin going cold and her face draining of color. Mr. Ben hadn't revealed Bernard's identity, but the latent threat was there.

Eleanor steadied herself, pulling her car over to the side of the road before turning to Robin. "You said Area Opaca is using Bernard as bait to lure me into playing their game, right?"

Robin nodded, "What's wrong?"

Eleanor slowly clenched her hands, "Bernard once told me that Mr. Ben and Sophie have a list of members from the Siren Organization. Sophie and I had a personal feud before. Could she be the one who's trying to lure me in?"

Robin was aware of Sophie's past with Bernard, "Remove the 'could be'. She is the one trying to lure you in. Do you dare to go?"

Eleanor didn't care about her own safety, only Bernard's, "If Bernard is still alive, would Sophie use me as a leverage against him?"

Robin pondered for a moment, shaking his head, "If Bernard is alive and hasn't come back yet, he's already caught in the web. Regardless of whether you go or not, they can use you against Bernard. My guess is that Sophie is luring you in to get revenge on you. Whether Bernard is dead or alive, she's betting that you'd go for him. That's why you received the golden leaf."

Eleanor understood. Sophie was targeting her. But how did Sophie get into Area Opaca? And how did she connect with Mr. Ben? Bernard hadn't told her any of these. Eleanor was still trying to piece everything together. For now, she needed to make her decision.
