Chapter 874

As soon as they heard about checking surveillance, everyone in the room went silent Arlene, however,

didn’t back down, “Grandpa hit you out of anger You know as well as I do, my mom, and the rest of the

Laurence family, were all killed by the Pine family. And you married a woman from the Pine family How

could grandpa not be mad? He hit you because he was too angry!”

Arlene sure can talk, but unfortunately for her, Bernard wasn’t buying it. “The feud with the Pine family

and hitting my wife are two different things.”

Bemard pointed directly at the two broken pieces of the cane resting on the table, his voice resolute,

“You’ve always taught me that what goes around comes around. Let’s witness you striking yourself with

this stick first, and then we can address the matter of the Pine family.”

In essence, regardless of what was being said, Bernard was unwavering in his determination to have

Blake inflict self–punishment with the cane as retribution for his wife. Without this act, he deemed any

further discussion meaningless.

Blake’s face tumed pallid, his anger causing his chest to rise and fall rapidly. “So, Beinard, you’ve found

some courage now, huh? You think you can bully me?”

Bernard sat upnght, his gaze fixed upon Blake, his tone icy, Tve aheady told you, she is my life. Any

harm inflicted upon her is a blow against me. If you choose to disregard my words, why should I

hesitate to treat you harshly?”

What had Blake ever done for him? He had stood idly by while Donna subjected him to abuse,

relentlessly exploiting him. What else could be expected?

In his memory, he never felt any familial love. If he didn’t have any use, they probably would’ve thrown

him away long ago!

The only light in Bernard’s life was Eleanor. But why couldn’t these people let him be?

Feeling his hand trembling slightly. Eleanor knew he was remembering his unhappy childhood. She

held his hand back, trying to reassure him.

With the warmth of her hand, she told Bemard. Don’t worry, I’m always by your side, always with you,

never leaving or abandoning you.

Bernard’s hand finally steadied, “I won’t let her get hurt for no reason. So, do as I say!

Blake looked at Bernard with utter disappointment, “I guess I made the wrong choice when picking my

successor

Bernard didn’t care. He tilted his head, his hair falling down on his forehead, “It’s too late for regrets

now!

Blake, extremely disappointed, nodded, “Okay, I understand…

He reached out for the cane on the table and held it. As he stroked it, his eyes reddened.

Seeing Blake’s sorrowful expression, Eleanor stood up to stop him, “Blake, if you hit yourself today,

then tomorrow Bernard will have the reputation of disrespecting his elders. I don’t want him to

disappoint the Laurences because of me, so I won’t let you do this.”

Bernard didn’t care about his reputation; he just didn’t want Eleanor to suffer for hing But Eleanor

shook her head at him, signaling him to let her handle it. Bernard, suppressing his anger, remained

silent.

After Eleanor took the stick from Blake, she looked at him and said gently, “You hit mic with this stick,

so consider it a punishment on behalf of the Pines. But Blake, there are many misunderstandings. I

hope you can calm down and let me explain everything to you, okay?”
