Chapter 1248
Robin’s mind was indeed a mess, all sorts of thoughts buzzing around, but would he kiss Eleanor?
Even if Eleanor didn’t have a husband, Robin wouldn’t just make a move on the woman he was into
because of a game.
He hoped for mutual consent, but from the moment he started having feelings for Eleanor, this mutual
consent had been nothing but a pipe dream, something that would never come true in this lifetime.
Robin reined in his feelings, got up and kicked Elbert hard, “What the heck are you thinking? What kind
of reward is that?!”
After saying that, he quickly glanced at Eleanor, trying his best to keep his emotions under control, then
he got up to leave, “We’ve already delivered the wedding gift, we’re leaving now.”
Elbert, who failed to provoke Bernard, looked reluctant to leave. Robin gave him a hard stare, and
Elbert immediately dared not say anything more, lowering his head and following Robin out.
“Hold it!” A cold, bone-chilling voice came from behind. Elbert instinctively winced, was Bernard going
to do something to him?
“Mr. Pine, come here.”
Elbert swallowed nervously, slowly turning around.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBernard, seated on the sofa, was staring at him with murderous intent.
Facing such a murderous gaze, how could Elbert dare to approach him?
“Mr. Laurence, I…”
“We’re going for another round. We can decide the rules of winning and losing later.”
Elbert thought Bernard was going to beat him up directly, but instead, Bernard suggested another
round.
Elbert was puzzled by Bernard’s intentions, always feeling that Bernard would find an opportunity to
make a move on him.
He cast a pleading look at Robin, but Robin didn’t even glance at him and walked straight out of the
room.
Robin left, and Bernard didn’t stop him, which meant Bernard’s target was only Elbert…
He was done for!
Cedric didn’t wait for Elbert’s response, he just handed the two shuffled cards to him.
“Here are two cards, if you draw the Joker, you can leave, if not…”
Cedric purposely paused, then turned around, gesturing for Elbert to see the murderous intent in
Bernard’s eyes.
The people of the Laurence family, except for Blake, all showed respect to Eleanor.
Some didn’t even dare to look at her too much, to avoid misunderstandings and to respect her.
Elbert, this young man, shouting loudly on the Laurence family’s territory was already crossing the line,
let alone making Eleanor and Bernard uncomfortable with the game, he was asking for trouble!
Elbert glanced at Bernard, thought about it, his luck was so good just now, and he might be able to
draw the Joker this time, so he reached out his trembling hand and chose the card on the right…
Cedric gave him a cold look and revealed both cards, “The card on the left is the Joker, you’re
screwed!”
Elbert’s heart clenched, and he instinctively looked at Bernard, who was radiating killing intent.
“What’s the rule for winning and losing?”
Bernard didn’t answer him, but took out a pair of white gloves and slowly put them on.
After putting them on, the tall man got up from the sofa and walked with a steady and powerful stride
towards Elbert.
This man was naturally intimidating, coupled with the deterrent from his high status, it was like a
mountain pressing down on him.
“Do you choose to kneel down and apologize, or do you want me to slap you a few times?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Bernard didn’t wear spiked gloves this time, his palm was quite strong, a few slaps and his
face would definitely be swollen for a few days.
But kneeling down and apologizing in front of the Laurences, not only was it an insult to his own dignity
and pride, but also once the word got out, his reputation would be ruined.
“My patience is limited.”
A cold and angry voice rang in his ear, and Elbert inexplicably felt the pressure from his elder brother,
which made him very uncomfortable, “I choose the slaps.”
He would rather be hit than apologize to his enemy, that’s the spirit of the Pine family!
Bernard looked up at Elbert, who was stubbornly unyielding, then without hesitation, he slapped him
hard.
Elbert took four hard slaps in a row, clutching his swollen face on both sides, looking pitifully at Bernard
who was planning to hit him again.
“Bro, Mr. Laurence, I was wrong, isn’t that enough?”
Bernard seemed to remember something when he heard this address, but he only paused for a
moment and then raised his hand to hit him again. Elbert quickly fell back to avoid this fatal blow. Then
he steadied his body with his waist strength and begged Bernard for mercy.
“Bro, I promise I’ll never joke about Eleanor again, please let me go…”
