Chapter 850
Eleanor and Bernard exchanged glances, and Bernard’s expression turned rigid as he led Eleanor
back to the study to take the call
“Ms Schultz, hello This is the committee for the 17th International Architecture Competition”
Eleanor initially thought the call was from Evelyn about the kids, but it turned out to be about the
international competition. She breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hello, what’s up?”
“Ms Schultz, your work Jared Group Headquarters, has passed the final round of judging. The
committee has unanimously decided to award you the title of champion of this competition Please
come to the B City International Architecture Exhibition Hall to receive the award and deliver your
acceptance speech tomorrow afternoon”
Won
Eleanor couldn’t believe it and looked at Bernard.
He rebuilt the Jared Group Headquarters to pursue her and let her reach the peak of the architecture
industry under her own name.
She thought that, as a newbie, she wouldn’t be able to make it through the final round. But not only did
she win, she became the champion
This sudden surprise made her so excited that she hugged Bernard

Bernard’s tense expression gradually relaxed, and a smile crept up his face.
“Are you happy?”
“So happy!”
“Then let’s build a few more branches, all designed by you”
At these words, the smile on Eleanor’s face froze.
She pushed Bernard away and looked at him with furrowed brows.
“You didn’t rig this championship title for me, did you?”
Cedric, next to them, who loved to watch the fun, pointed at Bernard.
“It was him, it was him…
Eleanor’s joy instantly disappeared.
“I thought I won because of my work, not because of you. How can I accept this fishy championship?”
She picked up her phone, preparing to call the committee and tell them to re–evaluate and not take the
chance with other designers.
But before she could dial, a hand pressed down on her screen. “I didn’t influence the competition, I just
helped you submit your work.”
Just as Bernard finished explaining, Cedric stirred up trouble again: “Eleanor, your work is called Jared
Group Headquarters. The committee would know it’s from the Laurence family just by the name. How
could they not give you the award?
Eleanor thought Cedric made sense and quickly nodded, saying “Right, I can’t accept this award. I
should decline”
Bernard snatched Eleanor’s phone with one hand, looking coldly at Cedric “When Ms. Vulpe and
Yeager tie the knot, I’ll definitely gift them a villa as a wedding present.”
Cedric, who was enjoying the drama instantly stiffened, saying, “You’re being a pest, so annoying.”
Bernard’s voice was cold as ice. If you’re annoyed, then shut up!
Shut up. Why are you so aggressive?
Cedric sneaked a glance at Bernard and then sat up straight, diligently continuing to code the
encrypted video.
Bernard shifted his gaze to Eleanor and said, “Darling, the members of the international committee are
all masters in the architecture industry. They focus on the work, not the background. You have to
believe that you’re capable”
Eleanor was somewhat skeptical, but Ethan Ziegler had said the same thing before
Most architects were like straight lines on a blueprint They’re very direct, either it works or it doesn’t,
having a big backer doesn’t help
Perhaps her work was truly recognized by the masters, and having a backer was just a bonus
With that thought, she nodded her head and said, “Alright, I’ll start preparing my acceptance speech”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as she was about to leave, Bernard pulled her back into his arms, pressing his hand against her
waist “How are you going to thank me?”
His fingers slid up her clothing, caressing her skin. The hot touch was clearly hinting at how she should
thank him.
Eleanor feigned ignorance. After I receive the award. I’ll treat you to street food in B City You’ve never
had it before, right? I take you there”
“What I want is a demonstration of gratitude”
Eleanor ballester hand into a fist and lightly punched Bernard’s sturdy chest. “Liana said that
overindulgence can harm the body”
Bernard caught her fist and said, ‘Liana also said that I’m very robust Mrs Laurence doesn’t need to
worry”
Cedric, who was still coding glanced at the pair, who shamelessly flirted in daylight, and angrily
pounded his keyboard.
Bang bang, bang!
Eleanor heard the noise and remembered there was someone else in the study. She quickly pushed
Bernard away, saying “Don’t say inappropriate things in front of the kid.”
Kid Cedric
Bang bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bangi
