Chapter 169

She coughed up pink foam, all of it going into the water, turning the toilet water red.

The bodyguard was startled, thinking she was coughing blood, so he quickly picked her up.

Suddenly breathing in some air, Eleanor began to recover, but she was still coughing non–stop.

What she coughed up was still pink foam, a symptom of late–stage heart failure.

Joelle didn’t know that, thinking she had hurt her stomach from drowning. Her anger subsiding a bit,

she stared at Eleanor through the- gritted teeth, “It serves you right for choking to death! It’s what you

get for what you’ve done!”

After saying this harshly, Joelle signaled the bodyguard with a look, and he immediately let go of

Eleanor.

“I’ll let you off this time, but if you ever dare to resist again, don’t think you’ll leave alive!”

After saying this vicious threat, Joelle turned and left, hand in hand with Sophie.

Little did she know that she hadn’t taken two steps before she felt a moist hand on her neck from

behind.

Before Joelle could even look back, she heard Eleanor’s weak yet gritted voice through the pain, “Ms.

Valona, don’t you want to give toilet water a try before you leave?”

Joelle’s body shuddered, the thought “Could this be what her revenge was going to be about?” flashing

in her mind she was forced face down into the toilet.

Eleanor used all her strength to push Joelle’s head into the toilet, holding her by the neck with her

hands, she wasn’t going to let go.

The bodyguard tried to hold her back but was scolded, “If you don’t want her dead, don’t come near

me!

Eleanor was holding onto Joelle’s lifeline. If they dared to come closer, she would surely choke her to

death.

Sophie hadn’t expected Eleanor, who usually looked weak, to be so determined and reckless.

After signaling the bodyguards not to act recklessly, Sophie quietly walked behind Eleanor and when

she thought Eleanor wasn’t paying attention, she grabbed her hair and yanked it back.

The sudden jolt of pain made Eleanor involuntarily ease her grip on Joelle.

Seizing the opportunity, Joelle fought back against Eleanor, gasping for air. Unable to maintain control

over Joelle, Eleanor braced -herself to confront Sophie.

Amidst their struggle, Eleanor accidentally pushed Sophie.

Just as Sophie appeared on the verge of falling to the ground, a strong hand swiftly came to her aid.

Losing herself in the details, Eleanor noticed the man’s sharp, angular face exuding a melancholic

aura. His eyes were dark and mysterious.

Clad in a black suit that accentuated his tall stature, he possessed a presence that was both somber

and captivating, reminiscent of the stars in the night sky.

After stabilizing Sophie, he retained his hold around her waist, his gaze descending coldly upon

Eleanor. “Who do you think you are to lay a hand on my fiancée like that?” His words echoed with a

chilling tone, causing Eleanor’s racing heart to suddenly freeze.

Eleanor stood there, drenched in sweat, her cheeks swollen, and her hair disheveled, in no better state

than Joelle. Yet, Joelle’s hurtful words pierced her even deeper.

She covered her trembling arm and lowered her head, looking at her toes and waiting for the judgment

of those holding power and despising life.

“Bernard, when did you get here?”

Sophie, seeing Bernard’s hand still on her waist, was pleasantly surprised but even more shocked.

Bernard was extremely busy with his work; how could he suddenly find himself in a shopping mall,

much less a women’s bathroom?

“I just happened to be passing by when I noticed your bodyguards dragging someone into the mall, so I

came to take a look.”

“I see.”

His words dispelled Sophie’s doubts. She immediately changed her stern expression and snuggled Into

Bernard’s arms.

“Bernard, you came just in time. This Eleanor was disrespectful to Joelle in the hospital, and she even

pushed Joelle’s head into the toilet just now. None of us could stop her. Teach her a lesson for Joelle,

would you?”

Bernard didn’t answer, only gently patted her hand to comfort her.

For some reason, the gesture made Sophie happy. She felt that she still had a place in his heart so,

she boldly leaned her body even

closer to him.

Bernard, dissatisfied, quickly resumed his cold demeanor.

He turned around, emotionless as he glanced at Eleanor, then looked to Joelle.

“What happened here?”

Eleanor thought he was asking her, so she slowly raised her head, only to find that he hadn’t even

looked at her.

It turned out that he was asking Joelle…

Of course, considering Sophie, how could he possibly initiate a conversation with her?

To him, she might not even be a stranger, now.

“You’re nothing,” he said the words had been ringing in her ears, causing her unimaginable pain.
