Chapter 571
Bernard was halfway through his drive when Caleb suddenly called
“Mr. Laurence, some s***t just hit the fan. Please head straight to Ethan’s villa”
Bernard’s face became serious in an mstant What’s up?”
Caleb, on the other end of the phone hesitated, saying. You’ll know when you get here”
Bernard furrowed his brows, a chill flashed in his eyes, as cold as the s****s outside the window.
After hanging up, he quickly changed course and headed toward Ethan’s villa.
Eleanor woke up from her sleep, instinctively reaching out to find the bed cold and empty.
Bernard’s gone?

Eleanor’s heart lightened, she quickly got out of bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and started searching for him.
Without even bothering with slippers, she searched the bathroom, the dressing room, and the study, but Bernard was nowhere to be found. Her panic and unease grew with each passing second
She threw on a coat, went barefoot, and ran downstairs. ‘Bryson, where the hell is Bernard?”
Bryson, who had been woken up, quickly opened the door. Seeing Eleanor’s anxious face, he reassured her, “Mr. Laurence probably had something to sort out. You know how he is, always on the move.”
Eleanor was already aware of Mr. Laurence’s identity. Bryson spoke without hiding anything: ‘He always comes back safe; don’t worry.”
Eleanor was still worried, feeling something was off Just as she was fretting, the landline in the corner of the living room started ringing.
Bryson frowned at the phone. “Odd, this phone hasn’t rung in ages, why the hell is it ringing now?”
Despite the panic, Eleanor followed Bryson toward the phone.
Bryson answered, and after a moment, his expression changed, and he turned to look at Eleanor
It’s a Mr. Ziegler for you.”
Wasn’t that Ethan?
How did he know the number to Laurence Manor, and why was he calling so late?
Eleanor hesitantly took the phone from Bryson.
As soon as she put it to her ear, Ethan’s casual voice came through.
“Bernard’s at my villa; come get him.”
