A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1014

Chapter 1014 

Cedric took a sip of his red wine, “Don’t sweat the small stuff. If they end up blaming you, it’s not worth it.” 

Chase glanced at his phone, “I have a recording as evidence I’m not just shooting the breeze” 

Cedric calmly responded, “Yeager stood up to his mother, which is kinda siding with Hailey. What can a recording prove?” 

Chase shot him a look. “What do you mean stood up? He let his mom interrogate Ms. Vulpe, there’s another woman waiting for him abroad, and judging from his tone, he doesn’t really care about Ms. Vulpe. He’s just sour grapes because he can’t have her. This recording has enough juice to show Ms. Vulpe Yeager’s true colors. Why aren’t you jumping on this opportunity?” 

Cedric nonchalantly swirled his red wine. “Yeager’s a smooth talker. He can turn night into day. If I bring out the recording now, Yeagerl definitely say I forged it to sabotage them. Then, even if I’m innocent, I’m screwed.” 

Chase pondered for a moment, “So, you’re suggesting we should just let it slide?” 

Cedric didn’t answer. Chase raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Laurence, this isn’t like you. You used to go all out for Ms. Vulpe.” 

Considering the derogatory remarks made by Yeager’s parents just now, the old Mr. Laurence would’ve already thrown a punch, Not only has he held back today, he’s also telling Chase to mind his own business. Does he really not care anymore? 

Cedric put down his wine glass and said lightly, “I don’t feel like spending another month in the hospital.” 

Chase glanced at the wheelchair nearby. Cedric’s spine was damaged. Although he was out of the hospital, he still needed the wheelchair to move around. The price he paid was indeed heavy. But, “Did you hear that Ms. Vulpe is postponing the wedding and now you’re pretending not to be in a hurry?” 

Cedric chuckled, “What’s there to pretend? I’ve done what I can. If she doesn’t want to come back, I’ll let her go. It’s not the end of the world.” 

His tone was very light, as if he had truly let go. Chase stared at him for a few seconds before finally speaking, “Whatever you’re thinking, I can’t control. But I’m keeping this recording. It might come in handy in the future.” 

Cedric didn’t respond, which Chase took as consent. He quickly tucked his phone into his pocket, then looked out the door. 

“Speaking of which, the representative from H Country sure has a high horse.” 

“The rep is just giving us a hard time because they found out I’m the new CEO of Crystal Area.” 

The thought of the company not accepting him still gave Cedric a headache. 

“Make sure you check the contract they give us later. We don’t want any issues that Bernard will have to clean up.” 

“Don’t worry.” 

Just as he finished speaking, a woman in sunglasses, a custom–made dress and holding a handbag walked in elegantly. 

“Which of you is Mr. Laurence?”
