Chapter 873
At about quarter past six, the man who heard about Eleanor getting hit by his grandfather came
strutting in from outside the castle, long legs moving fast.
He had a whole squad of bodyguards trailing behind him, and they all lined up behind the folks from the
Laurence family who were sitting on the couch.
The scene was like they were there to wipe them out. The distant relatives of the Laurence family got a
bit antsy and shrunk back
Arlene just scoffed and sneered, “What’re you up to?”
Bemard didn’t even glance at her, walking straight to Eleanor and checking out her arm. The bright red
mark of a cane on her exposed arm, was indented into her skin, it was clear that a lot of force had been
used
Bernard tenderly touched it, and Eleanor winced in pain. It wasn’t an act – it really hurt likely a bone

When she pulled back her arm, Bernard’s heart ached too. “Aidyn, get a doctor, now!
T
Aidyn agreed, whipping out his phone and calling Liana, asking her to bring an orthopedic doctor ASAP
Bernard tenderly ran his hand through Eleanor’s hair, his voice filled with determination. I will seek
justice on your behalf.”
Having finished speaking, he stood tall and fixed a piercing gaze upon the old man You were
responsible for this, weren’t you?”
Blake exhibited no shame as he unabashedly admitted, “So what if I was? Are you going to retaliate?”
As the elder and Bernard’s grandfather, he saw no issue with disciplining his wife, especially
considering her connection to the Pine family.
Bernard emitted a cold laugh, his icy gaze shifting towards Scott. “Bring me the card
Without hesitation, Scott handed over the fractured walking stick to Bernard.
Bernard took hold of it and tossed it before Blake. “Whichever hand you used, use that one to strike
yourself. Do it on your own accord.”
Blake and the rest of the Laurence family were left in stunned silence. Arlene was the first to regain her
composure, her words filled with indignation, “He is your grandfather! Are you truly going to let him
harm himself over an enemy? Do you not possess any respect for your elders?”
Eleanor attempted to pull Bernard back upon hearing these words, but he firmly held her hand and
settled down beside her, crossing his long legs. Tilting his sharply chiseled chin, he locked eyes with
Blake and uttered with a piercing gaze, “She is my wife, and he struck her. Does that demonstrate any
respect for me?”
Arlene, unable to keep her cool, pointed at Eleanor and accused, “Grandpa knew she’s from the Pine
family and was worried she had ulterior motives for marrying you. He just scolded her a bit and she
argued back, saying it had nothing to do with her. Clearly, she was the one being disrespectful, that’s
why grandpa hit her!”

The Laurence family chimed in, “Yeah, you can’t just ignore that. She was the one bang disrespectful to
Blake first. Can’t an elder discipline anymore?”
Eleanor, who was initially going to let it go, closed her mouth when she heard this. Her clear eyes
stared straight at Blake.
In her view, even though the old man never accepted her, he was not a stubborn person who couldn’t
tell right from wrong. But to her surprise, he chose to remain
silent.
Luckily, Scott, who witnessed the whole thing, stepped forward, “Bullshit. The lady was always polite. It
was Blake who couldn’t handle his anger and didn’t even let her finish talking before he hit her!”
Arlene wanted to argue back, but Scott’s next words shut her up, “Enough talking. There are security
cameras all around the castle. We should check the footage before saying anything else!”
