Chapter 191
Hailey was already sobbing uncontrollably after reading the letter.
The bank card inside the envelope was like a piece of steel, heavily weighing on her heart, unable to
move it.
What a fool, worrying about her not having money to use before dying, but…
Hailey thought to herself, “Eleanor, I don’t need your money. I just want you to come back…”
Hailey clutched the envelope, a longing she had never felt before occupying her mind, making her cry
her heart out.
In the end, Hailey fell asleep exhausted, even dreaming of Eleanor coming back.
Her heart was unwilling, and her subconscious was full of thoughts of wanting Eleanor to come back,
so she dreamed about it.
After she woke up and returned to reality, a profound sense of powerlessness engulfed her heart,
making it difficult for her to catch her breath.
With swollen eyes, she stared blankly at the ceiling. The whole world was quiet, as if she was the only
one left.
After an unknown amount of time, her phone rang one after another, and she finally reacted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe ringing was coming from a shopping bag, Eleanor’s phone.
Hailey hesitated for a few seconds before going to answer it.
When she saw Bernard’s name displayed on it, Hailey was stunned.
Eleanor wanted to see him before she died or at least hear his voice, but he let Sophie answer the call.
A man so heartless wasn’t worthy of knowing about Eleanor’s death.
Hailey didn’t pick up the call. After making several calls and finding no one answering, he didn’t call
again.
She originally planned to put down her phone and pack up Eleanor’s clothes, but accidentally saw
countless messages sent by someone named ‘Mr. Law.’
These messages were sent during this time, all harassing words like he missed her, as well as “I’m
sorry” sent the day Eleanor was unconscious and sent to the hospital.
Hailey didn’t know what this “sorry” meant. She only felt that Mr. Law’s harassment of Eleanor during
her lifetime was outrageous enough; she didn’t want–Eleanor to be harassed after death.
She picked up the phone and started typing a message to Mr. Law…
Meanwhile, Bernard had just finished a closed–door meeting that had lasted for several days and
nights.
He and Aidyn left the Space Institute and headed straight for the luxury car parked outside. The car
started quickly, and Bernard leaned back in his seat, rubbing his temples wearily. He asked, “Did
anyone try to contact me while I was away?”
“I turned off my phone since we couldn’t use it inside the Space Institute. I don’t know if anyone called.”
Aidyn explained, quickly taking out his phone and pressing the power button.
The security work at the Space Institute was excellent. After Aidyn and Mr. Laurence entered, their
phones were confiscated and forcibly turned off. They were not allowed to move around freely, even
unable to go shopping. They could only stay indoors, waiting for Mr. Laurence’s meeting to end.
Little did they know that the meeting would last for so many days.
Aidyn pressed the power button several times, but the phone didn’t turn on. It must have been out of
battery.
“Mr. Laurence, let me charge it first.” After saying that, Aidyn put the phone to charge. Bernard took out
his working phone, exhausted.
After turning on the phone, there were many work messages, but no specific person contacted him.
Bernard put down his phone, his eyes filled with red bloodshot from exhaustion. He slowly stared out
the window.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor some reason, he’d been feeling restless lately.
Especially in the past two days, this strange feeling had grown stronger, affecting his concentration
during the meeting.
He rubbed his forehead, thinking it might be due to fatigue.
The car stopped quickly in a wealthy living area, and Bernard hurriedly got out and walked into the villa.
As he took off his coat and handed it to Aidyn, he entered the elevator leading to his bedroom on the
third floor.
He had left in a hurry this time and forgot to bring his personal phone, eager to see if anyone was trying
to contact him.
As the elevator door opened, he quickly entered the bedroom, only to find the room messy and filled
with a strong fragrance of perfume.

Before he could frown, Sophie emerged from the bathroom, wearing a towel.
Bernard’s face darkened, and he asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”
