Chapter 1376

“Alright, now that the deal’s done, how about we head downstairs and wrap up tonight’s dinner?” Yates extended a hand, the very picture of a gentleman, towards Eleanor.

Eleanor stared at the hand before her, stained with the blood of bad deeds, and let out a wry chuckle.

She had yearned for a life untouched by the mud of the world, a tranquil existence, yet here she was, willingly stepping into the fray.

With a swallow of her rage and disappointment towards Yates, she placed her hand into his palm, playing her part in the final act of the night.

After the guests had filed out, Yates turned to the girls his family had adopted, instructing them to take good care of Eleanor, to harbor no resentment against her. His every word was a veiled concern for Eleanor. In truth, aside from his shadowy dealings with Area Opaca, Yates had always treated Eleanor quite decently. Had he not been the founder of Area Opaca, it was possible that Eleanor could have come to see him as a grandfather figure in the long days to come.

Eleanor had such impression towards her because she overheard a conversation in the restroom, where the adopted girls were gossiping about her.
