Chapter 775
Bernard gave Elbert a hell of a smack that left his face sporting a five finger souvenir
Elbert hit the deck and, after a few seconds, lifted his head to look up at the towering powerful figure of
Berard
Elbert’s face was now a lovely shade of lobster.
Well, this was a fine mess. His first time getting smacked, and by his nemesis no less This wasn’t a
fight, it was a one sided slap fest.
Talk about a real kick in the pants!
Elbert felt mortified, looking around, hoping nobody saw him.
Before he could even get a good look around another power slap landed on his face.
He didn’t even have time to catch his breath before the second slap hit, leaving him seeing stars”
And why the heck was Bernard only smacking his right cheek? Couldn’t he switch it up a bit? Getting

Just as Elbert was about to blow a gasket, Bernard’s hand rose again, this time aiming for Elbert’s left
cheek.
Slap! If once wasn’t enough, he went in for another
Bernard’s look seemed to say, “There, happy now?”
Bernard had said he would only slap him twice, but he went ahead and added two more for good
measure. This left Elbert ready to explode!
He clenched his fists, ready to go a few rounds with Bernard.
But before he could even get up, he was kicked right back down to the ground.
Elbert tried to get up again, but Bernard’s leg was holding him down, making it impossible to move.
Bernard was standing on Elbert’s chest, his elbow resting on his knee, looking down at him with a cold
gaze
“The first slap was for Eleanor,” he said “The second one was because I don’t like your face”

“You said two slaps, I took them. But what gives you the right to slap me two more times?”
Bernard chuckled. His eyes suddenly held a chilling glint
“You took my wife without my permission. That’s why.”
Bernard patted Elbert’s now–swollen face.
“You should thank your lucky stars. I was in such a hurry to chase the car that I took off my studded
gloves. Or else your face would’ve been a real mess.”
With those final words, Bernard kicked Elbert away, turned, and held out his hand to Eleanor.
“Eleanor, let’s go home.”
Eleanor gave a small nod, and after a few steps, she turned back to look.

He caught Eleanor glancing back at him. Their eyes met.
Eleanor saw his swollen face and burst into laughter.
And he, seeing her smile, could only stand there, dumbfounded.
That smile seemed familiar, like he had seen it somewhere before.
Elbert thought about it but couldn’t remember.
All he remembered was seeing a photo in his dad’s drawer when he was a kid.
He couldn’t remember if the person in the photo had the same smile as Eleanor.
All he remembered was his father telling him that the woman in the photo was his aunt, Vanya Pine.
He wasn’t sure if Eleanor looked like Vanya, but the familianty was undeniable.
Sadly, his grandparents had destroyed the photo. Otherwise, he could’ve compared the two
