Chapter 871
Blake’s next words came out as a roar, showing just how much he despised the Pine family. But
Eleanor was so Innocent. She had never even met the elders of the Pine family, yet she was the first to
face the family’s hatred.
“Blake, I get your pain and sympathize with all that you guys have been through, but this has nothing to
do with me, I haven’t.”
She wanted to say that she wasn’t part of it, but suddenly, Blake’s cane came crashing down towards
her. He moved so fast that Eleanor couldn’t dodge in time and her small arm took the full force of the
blow. The old man tried to swing again, but before his cane could land, it was caught by a hand.
Scott snatched the cane away, rested it on his knee and snapped it in half.

Scott had thought that Blake, at least, was a reasonable old man, but he was shocked to see him lose
his rationality and lash out at Eleanor
Caught off guard, Scott was a step too late when Blake swung the first time, leaving Eleanor to bear
the brunt.
After glaring at the old man, Scott tumed to Eleanor.
“Are you okay?”
The pain from the hard object striking flesh indeed hurt a lot, but Eleanor bravely shook her head.
She held her left arm, raised her eyes and looked at the still furiously old man.
“Blake, it’s clear that even if you beat me up, it won’t erase the hatred in your heart. Instead, it’ll drive a

senses, even forget his family’s hatred. Why, you ask?”
Initially, Blake held reservations about Eleanor’s suitability for his grandchild. Nevertheless, he chose to
honor Bernard’s wishes and allowed their marriage to proceed. In a surprising turn of events, he
accepted Eleanor’s wedding invitation and attended the ceremony.
Blake firmly believed that marriages lacking the blessings of elders were destined for unhappiness.
Despite his reservations, he secretly yearned for his grandson’s marriage to be filled with joy.
Consequently, he set aside his pride and joined the celebration.

Laurence family had toiled relentlessly to build their business,
and it couldn’t be wrested away by the Pines.
Knowing reasoning with Blake might not work, Eleanor changed her strategy, “Blake, how about this,
you guys come in and sit for a while. Wait for Bernard to come back from work and then ask for his
opinion. Divorce isn’t something you can just talk about and it’s done”
Whether Bernard would agree or not, Blake knew well. That’s why he came to Eleanor in advance,
“Divorce isn’t just talk. But if you agree to divorce, I can make him. agree.”
Eleanor frowned, “I’ll say it again, I won’t agree.”
