Chapter 465
Eleanor looked around the spacious office, her heart suddenly pounding.
It was as if her sister’s fiery spirit was boiling within her, making her nod in agreement with Pearce’s
suggestion.
“Alright…”
Just as she finished speaking, the sound of cars rolling over the pavement came from downstairs.
About a dozen luxury cars, led by a Koenigsegg, parked right outside.
Bodyguards in black suits got out of the cars, forming two lines and standing on either side of the
building.
From inside the Koenigsegg, Aidyn quickly got out, walked over to the passenger side, and opened the
door for the extremely distinguished man inside.
Under the sunlight, the man had a slender figure and delicate facial features.

The man standing by the car door had ditched his usual black suit and white shirt for a royal blue one.
The tailor–made, extravagantly expensive blue made the man appear noble, exuding elegance and
grace with every move.
He slightly tilted his perfect chin, looking towards the second floor, and pushed up his glasses with a
finger.
Eleanor, peeking out the window, suddenly thought of the phrase “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” when she
saw this gesture.
Pearce, standing beside her, seemed to hear her thoughts and angrily added, “A beast in human
clothing!”
Eleanor turned her head in surprise, looking at Pearce, “Why is he here?”
With his dislocated arm, Pearce pointed at the man downstairs and said, “Why? He’s here to hit on
chicks!”
After saying this, Pearce glanced meaningfully at Eleanor, whose eyes were downcast, “Stop hiding,
he’s here for you!”
Eleanor wanted to argue, but there was nothing to say. She looked away from the window and stepped
back.
With his client–first mentality, Pearce briefly explained, “Bernard is here to sign a contract,” before
heading downstairs to greet him.
Leading eight designers, Pearce dropped his anger and put on a flattering smile as he approached
Bernard,
“Mr. Laurence, hello!”
Pearce bowed slightly and gestured for Bernard to follow,
“Mr. Laurence, please come with me. My boss is upstairs, eagerly awaiting your arrival.”
Selling out his boss for the sake of business didn’t seem like a big deal. After all, the three of them had
an unspoken understanding.

Bernard’s gaze slowly moved away from the second–floor window and casually swept over Pearce.
The light reflecting from his glasses, coupled with the coldness in his eyes, made Pearce shiver
involuntarily.
Did Bernard hear him calling him ‘a beast in human clothing” from upstairs?
As he pondered this, Bemard confidently strode into Cornerstone Construction Co.
Just as Pearce was about to follow, Aidyn brushed past him and coldly glanced at him,
“Mr. Hooper, your smile is kind of ugly.”
If he wanted to insult him, why did he have to be so polite, even adding “Mr. Hooper“? Annoyed,
Pearce clenched his fists, caught up with Bernard, and led him to the second floor.
Eleanor, sitting at her desk, slowly raised her head as she heard the office door open.
Bernard strode in from outside.
Pearce, who was behind, also wanted to enter, but before he could take a step, he saw a man inside
with his back turned, who closed the door with a kick.
