Chapter 769
Elbert’s arrogance made Bernard stop in his tracks.
He slowly turned around, his eyes seemingly filled with an entire galaxy, glinting with a merciless, cold
light like a hardened sword.
Clearly, Bernard’s killer instincts were flaring up, but Elbert still marched up to him, completely fearless.
“If you win, my girl can keep you company for the night; how about that?”
Elbert, hands in his pockets, arrogantly taunted Bernard.
The woman following Elbert sneakily eyed Bernard.
His silver-gray hair was casually swept back. Although the color didn’t match his regal demeanor, his
strikingly handsome face was still a sight to behold. His appearance and physique were top-notch,
enough to make hearts race. The masculine pheromones he gave off were like a beast lurking in the
deep sea-potent and invasive, enough to make one flush at a single glance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElbert’s girl thought that spending a night in the arms of such a man would be an unforgettable
experience.
She gently lifted a finger, twirling her long hair around it, striking a seductive pose, and constantly
throwing flirty glances at Bernard.
But Bernard paid no heed to her advances; his icy, fierce eyes were like sharp blades, fixed on Elbert.
“How do you want to die?”
Elbert’s wager, win or lose, was nothing more than a sick joke. If he had the guts to provoke him, he
was basically asking for death!
“Mr. Laurence, lighten up a bit.”
Elbert said this with a smirk on his face full of audacity and arrogance.
“I just asked you for a game of chance; I didn’t ask you to do anything else. Why so tense?”
Bernard snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
“Why should I gamble with you?”
Elbert looked up, his eyes filled with arrogance and defiance. He looked past Bernard to Eleanor at his
side.
“Because I once saved her.”
Bernard’s expression changed suddenly, he recalled that Elbert had indeed saved Eleanor. He
frowned.
Seeing Bernard’s silence, Elbert lifted his chin, making his proposition to the taller Bernard.
“Play a round with me; consider it paying off your debt.”
To sicken him, he was forcing him to gamble-utterly ridiculous!
“So, are you in or out?”
Elbert took a step forward, closing in on Bernard and showing no fear whatsoever.
Eleanor thought Elbert was too full of youthful vigor, anyone else wouldn’t dare talk to Bernard like this.
She let go of Bernard’s arm and took a step forward, wanting to reject Elbert’s proposal outright, but
Bernard pulled her back.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Using a woman as a wager, how despicable.”
Bernard pulled out a gun from his waist, flipped it around, and pointed it at Elbert.
“If you want to gamble with your life, I can play a round with you.”
Hearing the words ‘gamble with your life’, Eleanor’s heart clenched, and she reached out to grab
Bernard’s sleeve.
“Bernard…”
Bernard put his other hand, the one not holding the gun, around her waist, patting gently to soothe her.
“Don’t be scared.”
He easily calmed Eleanor’s nervous heart. It seemed like no matter what problem arose, he could turn
a crisis into safety.
Seeing that Bernard would rather gamble with his life than let Eleanor kiss him, Elbert’s smile became
more pronounced. Bernard’s protection of Eleanor showed he cared about her a lot. If he cared about
someone, that person could become his weakness.
If she was his weakness…
Now he was even more curious to see Bernard’s reaction after Eleanor kissed him.
