Chapter 855
Robin reckoned his mom might have gotten the wrong end of the stick “Muin, Emilia has kicked the
bucket”
Elbert barged in, ‘Emilia has bitten the dust, true, but not Vanya’s second daughter”
Robin shot him a cold look. The second daughter–didnt she die in the cradle?”
“We only heard from Emilia that her sister passed away. We never laid eyes on the body Who knows if
Emilia was pulling our leg?”
Wendy Pine was huffing and puffing after just two sentences, trying to hold herself together. “You’re
right. We might’ve been had by Emilia, thinking a kid with a heart condition could be pushing up the
daisies anytime”
Her trembling finger pointed at the TV screen and at Eleanor “She’s a spitting image of Vanya, she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmust be Vanya’s second daughter”
Robin didn’t bite He was racking his brain, looking at Elbert “How did you figure she was Vanya’s
second daughter?”
Elbert spilled the beans I saw a picture of Vanya when I was a kid it’s all a bit fuzzy now, but Eleanor
rings a bell”
He wanted his old man to ID Eleanor, but she was as tight as a drum, all wrapped up, with no glimpse
at her mug
With Bernard acting like a brick wall and guarding Eleanor, his dad didn’t stand a chance to get a good
look at her. He ended up getting chewed out by his dad. His dad gave him a hard time for not caring
about the company, never being at home, always living it up, and now acting all hush hush. He was
beyond help Had he not just heard Wendy Pine say Eleanor was Vanya’s daughter, he would have
been barking up the wrong tree. But…
He approached Robin and Wendy Pine and asked, “Why are you hunting for Vanya’s daughter?”
Wendy Pine’s old eyes were filled with determination, yet so profound. “I just want to see her family one
last time before I kick the bucket.”
Elbert always respected and trusted his elders. Hearing Wendy Pine say this, he didn’t push it “Don’t
sweat it, I’ll tag along with Robin to find Eleanor Wendy Pine raised her trembling hand patting Elbert’s
shoulder “Good lad, it’s tough on you. This is my dying wish
Thinking of Wendy Pine’s health, Elbert was filled with pity. “You need to take it easy. I’ll make your
dying wish came true.”
Wendy Pine nodded weakly “Then off you go.”
Elbert agreed with a ‘sure” and turned to Robin, saying “Let’s hit the road.”
Robin glanced at his mom and asked, “Did you forget? This Eleanor is Bernard’s bird”
Not just Bernard’s bird, but his wife. Though it’s not public knowledge, Robin knew it all too well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOf course, Elbert knew too. “We just want to invite her to see Aunt Wendy Pine one last time. It
shouldn’t be a big deal, right?”
He had crossed paths with Bernard before. He knew Bernard was not a penny pincher.
At least when he, as the heir to the Pine family, faced Bernard, Bernard didn’t do anything negative to
him directly. That made Bernard quite a decent guy
Upon hearing Eleanor was Bernard’s girlfriend, Wendy Pine’s face fell, but she didn’t say another word
-Thinking about having to deal with Bernard again, Robin was wound up. He tugged at his tie, but due
to his mom, he had no choice but to go
He put his feet down, looking annoyed. He kicked his bodyguard and asked, “What are you gawking
at? Get the private jet ready. Do you want me to drag the plane out myself?”
Bodyguard
Bernard was by the sink, about to hurl his guts out
