Chapter 737
“Nah, Vanya’s already gone
That young lady amt her
Mr. Penrod stared blankly at Eleanor, and Bernard’s expression shifted too.
“Mr. Penrod, do you know my wife?”
Mr. Penrod snapped back to reality, his eyes regnining their composure.
15 she your new wife?” Mr. Penrod shot back
“Didn’t you check her background” Bernard asked suspiciously.
Wasn’t Mr. Penrod supposed to be watching him?
How come he didn’t check the background of his wife?
Mr Penrod turned to look at Bernard, who looked on quard
“Bernard, I treat you like my own son. Why would I investigate your wife?”
The doubt in Bernard’s eyes vanished in an instant. Mr. Penrod treated him even better than his own

As a kid, he had doubts about this, but as he grew older, he figured Mr. Penrod might be seeing him as
a valuable tool
But Mr Penrod never exploited him, in fact, the tasks he gave him were aimed at giving him an
advantage in the business world
As Bernard was deep in thought, Mr. Penrod patted his shoulder again
Bernard, your new wife looks exactly like Vanya of the Pine family”
“Didn’t you check her background before you married her?”
Bernard froze, slowly turning to look at Eleanor.
The woman on the ship saw him looking at her and immediately waved to him
“Shes an orphan, she has nothing to do with the Pine family”
Even if she did, what of it? She’s his wife, their love can’t be stopped by anyone
“You better be clear, don’t let your wife be driven to death by the Laurence family too!
After hearing this, Bernard’s expression stiffened, his eyebrows furrowed.
“What do you mean ‘too?”
Did the Laurence family drive someone’s wife to death before?
“Wait till my chess game is over, and you’ll know who was driven to death”
Mr. Penrod, as if posing a riddle, put his hat back on and patted Bernard’s shoulder again
“Bernard Ill come for you in six months. Don’t forget what you promised me.”
With that, Mr Penrod turned and walked into the ship
Watching his composed figure, Bernards brow furrowed even more
He returned to his own ship, handed the gun back to Caleb, who called out to him
“Mr. Laurence, Atte just sent me Mrs. Laurences background.”
Caleb handed his phone to Bernard
“All the info is in this file. Have a look”
Bernard looked down at the phone, and seeing “the Pine family, he felt Lke he was plunged into an ice

He took the phone ready to continue reading, but a gentle voice sounded from behind him
“Bernard I have a wedding gift for you Come upstairs with me”
Bernard quickly handed the phone back to Caleb, giving him a look, then turned and followed Eleanor.
Why didnt you sleep a bit longer?”
Evelyn’s call woke me up”
Bernard suddenly stopped, looking down at Eleanor who was standing in front of him
“What did she say to you?”
“She wanted to trade my background information for Nina, but I didn’t agree Bernard’s brows gradually
relaxed then suddenly looked scared, holding Eleanor tightly
“Eleanor, no matter what happens in the future, you must believe that I will never hurt you” Hearing this,
Eleandr lifted her head from his chest, only to see his face was somewhat pale
“What did that man just say to you?”
His emotional reaction was so strong, it must have something to do with that seemingly elegant
gentleman Bernard shook his head. How could he tell her that in six months, he would be going to the
Area Opaca alone?
