Chapter 406
She just saw Bernard gently and lovingly helping Eleanor with her helmet, and Teresa couldn’t help but
feel a pang of envy
Even though both Teresa and Eleanor were pretty, and Teresa was even bom into a much wealthier
family, with more knowledge and abilities than Eleanor could ever dream of,
yet, Bernard was all over Eleanor and not her. It was mind–boggling.
Seeing Teresa’s confident look, Eleanor said, “Why don’t you ask him?”
She didn’t know why Bernard fell head over heels for her, so she couldn’t answer Teresa’s question.
But to Teresa, this sounded like a provocation. Her face fell, “Ms. Shultz, where’s your superiority
complex coming from?”
Eleanor frowned, confused, “Dr. Teresa, you asked, I answered. What does that have to do with feeling
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsuperior?
Teresa scoffed, “You’re only acting high and mighty because you have Bernard backing you up.”
Eleanor felt like she was talking to a brick wall and decided not to respond anymore
Seeing Eleanor silent, Teresa assumed she had conceded. A smirk crept onto her face
But she kept her superior attitude, asking Eleanor, “Ms. Shultz, has he proposed to you yet?”
Hearing that, Eleanor instinctively looked down and stared at her black boots, not uttering a word.
Seeing Eleanor’s reaction, Teresa got the hint, “Just as I thought, there’s no way he’d propose to you
on a whim.”
Teresa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, leaning back on the bench, crossing her arms and tilting her
chin up as if to warn Eleanor.
“Ms. Shultz, as your former doctor, I should remind you. The fact that he’s treating you special now
doesn’t mean he’ll marry you!
“Guys like him, born with silver spoons in their mouths, they usually marry into other wealthy families.
Your status wouldn’t even make the cut in the Laurence family.”
“So wake up. He’s probably just messing around with you. Once he’s had his fun, hell ditch you”
“Women over thirty shouldn’t waste their prime years on a man who’ll never marry them.”
Her harsh words fell on Eleanor’s ears, making the already insecure woman feel even worse.
She shifted her gaze away from the riding arena, looking at Teresa.
“Dr. Teresa, I should remind you too. You’ve been crushing on Bernard since college. But he’s never
been interested in you. Was it worth it to waste your youth on a
man who’ll never love you?”
Teresa’s face froze as she was caught off guard by Eleanor’s rebuttal. Just as she was about to
retaliate, Eleanor calmly continued.
“And you’re wrong about one thing. There are many people like me in this world. And many wealthy
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamilies started out just like me. So how do you know I can’t become one of them?”
When Eleanor finished, the determination and confidence in her eyes was something Teresa didn’t
have.
Having spent her life feeling inferior, she got a second chance at life through her sister’s heart and
identity. How could she just give in to fate again?
Teresa, who always looked down on others, couldn’t reconcile the woman in front of her with the
woman who was lying in the hospital bed two months ago, who seemed to have shed her old skin and
put on a new one.
Teresa was amazed by her transformation, but she believed Eleanor’s confidence was all thanks to
Bemard, which only made her despise Eleanor more.
She picked up her helmet, stood up, and said to Eleanor with scorn, “I can guarantee he’ll never marry
you”
