Chapter 1002

Right now, Bernard was swamped with work at the Lawrence Group, leaving Eleanor all by herself at

home.

Eleanor was in the middle of sketching some designs when Bryson told her that Cedric’s parents were

here. She immediately dropped her pencil

As she got up to head downstairs to the living room, she wondered why Cedric’s parents would

suddenly seek her out when they’ve had little interaction before

Latonia came from a well–off family, was backed by Jason, and was quite the looker. Her whole being

radiates an air of good upbringing, and even in her older age, she maintainws an elegance and

intellect. Her words were spoken gently, without a hint of

arrogance.

Seeing Eleanor, she smiled and complimentd her on her looks and taste in fashion. She also

mentioned the interior design of the Fiord Roundabout, saying it’s beyond anything international

designers could muster. She added that her brother has a manor that needed redecorating and invites

Eleanor to take on the design.

Eleanor caught on that Latonia needs a favor from her, and so she agreed to the request: “Thank you

for the business opportunity. I’ll take on your brother’s manor project. But there must be something else

you want to talk about, right? You didn’t just come here to pitch me a project, did you?”

“There is indeed something else I need your help with.”

After chatting for a while and downing several cups of coffee, Latonia awkwardly revealed her actual

intention: “Eleanor, could you perhaps have a word with Robin?”

Eleanor was taken aback by the request, “I’m not really tight with Robin, talking to him might not do any

good.”

She instinctively declined, but Latonia moved to sit next to her, gripping her hand tightly and patting it

gently.

“Sweetie, I know it’s a bit out of line to ask you to talk to him, but Robin told you to look after him

because he feels guilty that his family didn’t treat your mother right. He wants to use this opportunity to

get closer to you and make amends. So I’m thinking, if you talk to him, it might work.”

After saying this, Latonia added, “Of course, if you’re not willing, that’s fine too. We’ll figure out another

way.”

Everyone in the Laurence family knew about Robin revealing Eleanor’s identity in the past, but they all

chose to stay silent.

They did this to protect her, for which Eleanor was very grateful. Now, Cedric’s mother was tactfully

making a suggestion, not forcing

her.

She had been married into the Laurence family for quite some time, and aside from the initial

objections from her grandfather, everyone in the Laurence family had been good to her. With this in

mind, Eleanor nodded.

“Alright, I’ll give it a shot, but I can’t guarantee it’ll work.”

“That’s okay, it’s worth a shot”

This issue could have been easily resolved, but because it involves Robin, a big shot, it’s a bit of a

hassle.

If Eleanor could persuade him, then Bernard wouldn’t have to hand the project over to Robin.

After accepting the invitation, Eleanor felt it might be inappropriate to go alone, so she called Sigrid and

asked Sigrid to accompany

her.

Robin’s hospital room was located just above the floor where Cedric as. Since they were not far from

each other, Eleanor and Sigrid decided to visit Cedric first.

They found Cedric propped up in bed, engrossed in his laptop, obviously hard at work.

Eleanor and Sigrid didn’t want to disturb him too much, so they just left the things they had brought,

said a few words of care, and left

the room

As they headed towards the elevator, Sigrid, arm in arm with Eleanor, said: “These past few days, my

brother seems like a completely different person, always busy”

Eleanor knew this had something to do with Hailey, but she didn’t elaborate, simply responding:

“Bernard is willing to let him take over as president of Crystal Area, so of course he has to work

harder.”

Bernard said that the company had a lot of business, and with Vice President Taylor Laurence about to

enter the North Funland market, there would be no one to manage Crystal Area, so they have to train

Cedric

Eleanor wasn’t sure why they need to train Cedric, but she knew that Bernard seemed to be distributing

important positions within the company one by one.

This was a bit puzzling to Eleanor, as Bernard himself was fully capable of managing these positions,

and his current actions seemed like he was planning to step down soon.

Eleanor couldn’t figure it out, and Bernard wouldn’t give her any answers, so she stopped asking and

just hoped he would stay safe and by her side.

The two women, arm in arm, arrived at Robin’s hospital room. As they pushed open the door, they

caught Robin standing at the bathroom door, looking straight ahead, while his bodyguard Nathan was

crouched down, zipping up Robin’s suit pants…

The sight had the two people outside the door gobsmacked.
