Chapter 1067
Yeager clenched his wrist, raised his head, his eyes flashing red with anger, throwing the question at Bernard. He had recorded his own deeds and sent them to the family of Mr. Caporal and his fellow med students.
This was like burning his bridges, there was no escaping the finger–pointing even if he returned to his homeland. Bernard had already gone too far, butting into his business with Hailey now, what right did he have?!
“On what grounds?”
The seemingly laid–back man slightly tilted his head, then stretched out his gloved hand, signaling Yeager’s bodyguards.
The two bodyguards instantly got the message, grabbed Yeager from both sides and tossed him in front of Bernard. Before Yeager could get up, a hand came down from the sky.
The fierce blow, carrying a gust of wind, made his cheeks tremble. Only when the wind subsided did the tearing pain hit him.
Yeager, half–kneeling, his left cheek instantly swelling, fresh blood dripping from the corner of his mouth onto his hand, looked up in shock.
You…
Bernard removed the glove he’d used to slap him, threw it into a nearby trash can, took a wet wipe from Aidyn to clean his hand, then looked down at Yeager kneeling on the ground.
“Ms. Vulpe is my wife’s sister, in other words, my sister–in–law. You hurt my sister–in–law, that’s the same as hurting me, don’t you think this is my business?”
Yeager stared at Bernard, disbelief filling his eyes, it took him a while to come back to his senses.
“Even if you consider Hailey your sister–in–law, you have no right to hit me!”
He had never been slapped before, let alone by a man.
“If you want to settle scores, take me to court and let the law punish me. Who gave you the right to hit me?”
“Hold your horses”
Compared to Yeager’s impatience, Bernard was the picture of calm.
“You’ll certainly be sued.”
“If that’s the case, why did you hit me?”
Cutting his wrist didn’t make him as furious as this slap!
Bernard gave him a cold look.
This one’s for my wife.”
Harassing her sister deserved some punishment.
“Just a slap, Mr. Laurence has been very restrained.”
If it had been before, Mr. Laurence wouldn’t hesitate to take action, leaving no room for questions.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
