Chapter 1042
Peterson surveyed the people around the table, finding it quite amusing but then.
His gaze fell on the private room’s restroom Why had Mr. Laurence’s wife been in there for so long?
Growing increasingly anxious, Eleanor pulled out her phone and sent a message to Bernard, [Dear,
please find a way to get Peterson out ]
Bernard, who had been contemplating how to tactfully steer Peterson away, saw the message and
revealed a doting smile, [Do you want me to come in and keep you company?
What did he mean by that?
Eleanor responded [I’m sure you can find a way I
Bernard replied: [Wait a moment]
Setting his phone aside, Bernard turned to Peterson, “There’s a project I’d like to discuss with you.
Could we move upstairs for a chat?”

ground floor and entertainment venues occupying the rest. Although he knew that the projects of the
Sharp family werent under his management, he still chose to discuss them with Peterson at this
moment, obviously intending to lead him
away
Peterson understood all this but didn’t call it out. Rising gracefully, he said, “Let’s go.”
After the two of them left, Sigrid’s expression subtly shifted. It seemed like she knew Bernard had
deliberately separated Peterson, and this realization left her feeling a bit
uneasy
She knew that Chase was helping Bernard with his lawsuit, just to get close to her, even bringing
Peterson as a wingman,
She initially thought Chase would back off on his own, but she didn’t expect Bernard to help him……..
After taking a swig of her drink, she turned to Cedric, “Bro, I’ve got some work to do at my studio. I’ll
take off first.”
Sigrid had a studio in the country where she designed various crafts. She was about to exhibit her
work, so things were pretty hectic.
Cedric knew she was busy, but he couldn’t let her leave just like that tonight, “You saw how Bernard
stood up for him. Give him one more chance to explain.”
Sigrid didn’t look up at Chase, “We’ve discussed everything we need to years ago. Is there anything we
need to talk about now?*
Chase’s eyes were starting to well up. It seemed like he felt that Sigrid had completely let go of him. He
was deeply saddened, but he tried his best to act nonchalant, patting Cedric’s shoulder lightly. “It’s
alright. Don’t push her.”
Cedric looked at Chase’s lifestyle over the years, “Sigrid, he had no choice but to break up with you.
You should at least hear him out.”
Sigrid slowly lifted her eyes, looking at Chase’s pale face. She sighed, “Alright, let’s talk outside”

She put down her glass and stood up. Chase watched her figure, frozen for a few seconds. Then, with
a nudge from Cedric, he hurriedly followed.
After they left, Pearce curiously asked, “Were they a couple before?”
Cedric gave him a glance, “What’s it to you?”
Pearce looked innocent, “If this has nothing to do with me, can’t I ask?”
Cedric was speechless.
“If this has nothing to do with me, can’t I be curious?”
“If this has nothing to do with me, I don’t have the right to know?”
Cedric was still speechless.
Whatever, he is Eleanor’s mentor
Just bear with it, this meal will be over soon.
Sigrid strolled down the street.
Chase stared at her retreating figure, following at a slow pace.
When they reached an uphill road, Sigrid stopped and turned back to look at Chase, “Alright, spill it.”
