Chapter 808
Cedric saw it His body lazily sprawled on the couch, stiffened at the sight of Hailey holding hands with another guy.
The eyes that had cooled down from his anger were again boiling, slowly filling with rage.
He had asked Hailey to break things off. Not only had she not done so, she even had the guts to bring her boyfriend to him.
Yeager Alis, in a crowd of young folks, pinpointed Cedric, who was lying low on a couch, hall concealed by dim lights.
“Mr Laurence”
He walked over, holding Hailey’s hand, undeterred by Cedric’s reputation or the power of the others around. He stood straight and came before Cedric
“I’m here to tell you to quit messing with my girlfriend, or else
“Or else what?”
Yeager Alis was interrupted by Cedric’s cold voice before he could finish.
The guy on the couch, lifting his chin, looked disdainfully at Yeager Alis
“Given your petty background, do you think you can do me in or get me arrested?”
Yeager Alis choked on his reply Cedric was right, who could mess with the Laurence family, but….
“I may be infenor in terms of background, but we need to talk sense here.”
“You know Hailey is my girlfriend, yet you still made a move on her.”
“For people like you, who disregard basic morality, what’s the good of having a fancy background?”
“You’re just morally bankrupt, lacking in manners
Yeager Alis’s scolding made the young crowd nervous for him.
“Who’s this dude, so ballsy to say Mr. Laurence has no manners?”
“Don’t know him, but he’s brave Daring to curse Mr. Laurence, respect!”
“Respect what? He’s asking for trouble. Mr. Laurence, beat him up, and we’re with you!”
Chase didn’t join the others in their jeering but instead cast a side glance at Cedric
Seeing him so angry he was going pale, his hand clutching the wine glass trembling, he knew how pissed Cedric was
For his buddy, he raised his head to look at Hailey
“Ms. Vulpe, if there’s an issue, talk it out privately Don’t make it this awkward. It’ll be hard to wrap this up.”
It was a warning and a threat Hailey got the message
But for some reason, Yeager Alis had gone this for for her
If she backed down now, wouldn’t it be letting down his sincenty?
No one had ever stood up for her before. She had always taken on everything herself
If she could beat the bullies, she would go all out. If she couldnt she would bear it
Yeager Alis wasn’t afraid of Mr. Laurence, what was she afraid of? Cedric was the one who started this
With that thought, Hailey wasn’t afraid anymore. She tightened her grip on Yeager Alis’s hand and looked at Chase and Cedric
“Yeager Alis has made it very clear, Mr. Laurence, please refrain from disturbing us in the future.”
Having said that, Hailey pulled Yeager Alis’s hand and turned to leave.
Bang!
The sound of a wine glass hitting the floor came from behind, along with Cedric’s voice.
“Did I say you could leave?!”
Cedric got up from the couch
“Mr. Laurence, what else do you want…
Before Yeager Alis could finish, his handsome face was met with a hard punch

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...
