A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1333

Chapter 1333 

The despair and detachment that seeped from his eyes were something 1-1 couldn’t quite grasp, “What’s your beef with Sophie?” 

Upon receiving Kermit’s call, 1-1 had rushed over without delay. He hadn’t had a chance to review the surveillance footage yet, so he was unclear about the circumstances. 

“She killed my wife,” replied Bernard. 

“That sounds serious,” 1-1 remarked. 

Noticing Bernard’s almost burnt-out cigarette, 1-1 quickly pulled out a new one from his pack and tossed it to him, “Let’s strike a deal. You reveal the identity of the founder of the Siren Organization, and I’ll help you find the Ratliffs,” 1-1 proposed. 

Bernard’s fingers slightly paused when he heard 1-1’s words, “You’re going after the Siren Organization without even knowing the identity of the founder. Why?” 

“Same as you. A grudge born from murder, my wife was killed.” 

Bernard’s brows furrowed slightly at this evasive answer, “It’s impossible, that every member of the Siren Organization was responsible for your wife’s murder.” 

1-1’s intentions to take down every single member of the organization seemed irrational. 

“I don’t know which member killed my wife. I can only deal with them all.” 1-1 finished his sentence nonchalantly, glancing at the operatives and men in black waiting outside. 

“Their families were also brutalized by the Siren Organization. We banded together for revenge. What’s wrong with that?” 

Upon hearing this, Bernard’s gaze dropped. 

Before he took over the Siren Organization, it was managed by Mr. Penrod. 

Who Mr. Penrod and his people had brutalized before, and how, was unknown to Bernard. But he remembered well the blood he himself had shed. So, it was the Siren Organization’s prior actions that had provoked 1-1, Kermit, Sheldon, and the other operatives into retaliating. Was this karma in action? 

But the people they eliminated were the scourge of the business world. 

The number of lives those people had taken was no less than their own. If one were to thoroughly analyze cause and effect from start to finish, it would be impossible to unravel. 

“So, do we have a deal?” 1-1 asked. 

Bernard’s pride wouldn’t allow him to yield in the face of 1-1’s proposition. 

“I’ll consider it once I’ve had my revenge.” 

Since 1-1 was avenging someone he loved, Bernard would let him have his way. He would pay for his past sins, but he had to be the one to kill Sophie, or he would never rest in peace. 

“If you disagree, then I can’t grant your wish.” 

1-1 stood up, hands in his pockets, looking down at Bernard. 

“Mr. Laurence, I respect your courage, so I won’t harm you. Follow 1-3.” 

After a few seconds of staring at 1-1, Bernard swiftly raised his gun and aimed at 1-1. 

But 1-3 was faster. The moment Bernard drew his weapon, 1-3 had his own gun pointed at Bernard’s forehead. 

“Mr. Laurence, 1-3 grew up in a battlefield. You can’t match his gunmanship. Just cooperate.” 

After finishing his sentence at a relaxed pace, 1-1 reached out his glove-covered hand and took Bernard’s gun. 

“Please.” 1-1’s actions were respectful, not showing the slightest contempt or disdain for Bernard. 

The disarmed man fell silent for a moment before abruptly grabbing a scalpel from the side and slowly standing up. 

“1-3, don’t touch him until he sees Sophie.” 1-1 turned his body, examining Bernard’s tall and straight figure, “My offer still stands until then.” 

It was an opportunity for Bernard to reconsider. 1-1 was reasonable, but Bernard was too proud to accept. 

After 1-3 escorted Bernard out, 1-1 walked into the surveillance room and pulled up the footage from the lower sector. 

He only wanted to see what had happened during this time. He didn’t expect to see a familiar face. 

As if afraid he might be seeing things, 1-1 quickly lifted his trembling hands to remove his mask. 

Once his vision cleared, he was able to confirm that the face was as familiar and unforgettable as he had remembered. 

“It’s her.” 1-1 was somewhat agitated as he reached out to touch the screen. His fingers trembled as they traced over her face, “It really is her…” 

1-1’s eyes glazed over with a thin layer of mist. After staring at the screen for a while, he shook his head gently, “She’s too young. It’s not her…” 

She was already dead, and the person on the screen just looked exactly like her. 

But, they really did look alike. He almost mistook her for someone else. 

1-1 gradually collected himself, his gaze fixed on the person on the screen. 

He watched all the videos related to her. Only then did he learn that she was Bernard’s wife. 

Bernard had been operating under the radar, taking risks to ensure his wife’s safety. 

But he was forced to divorce her due to Sophie and Mr. Ben’s manipulation. 

However, Sophie didn’t keep her word and had Cameron kill her after she left. 

Seeing the video of her body sinking into the sea that Sophie had shown Bernard, 1-1’s face fell. 

He had just seen someone who looked exactly like her and hadn’t had the chance to find out if they were related before she was killed? 

1-1 slumped onto the couch, supporting his chin with one hand. His eyes, glowing with a cold light, were filled with the urge to tear Sophie apart.
