Chapter 814
On a business trip in B City, Sigrid heard from a friend about Cedric getting into a fight at a nightclub
She rushed over to Cedric’s villa that same night and found him hugging a bottle of liquor, completely hammered
“What’s gotten into you? Why did you hit Ms. Vulpe’s boyfriend? she approached and gave Cedric a nudge
Cedric saw Sigrid’s face through his blurry vision, and shoved her hand away impatiently. “None of your beeswax”
Sigrid tried to snatch the bottle. “Stop drinking you’re gonna wreck your stomach if you keep this up!”
All he did was party and enjoy himself instead of doing anything meaningful. She should totally film this and show it to Bernard, so he could put Cedric in his place.
Of course, Cedric wouldn’t give in, ‘Quit bugging me and go home…”
Unable to take the bottle from him, Sigrid snapped, “Fine, drink yourself to death for all I care”
She picked up her bag and stormed out, but halfway through the door, she couldrit help but glance back at him.
She couldn’t handle him, but she could ask others for help.
With that in mind, Sigrid left the villa, called Veronica, told her the situation, and then drove off
Veronica was also in B City. Upon hearing the news, she immediately ordered a car and rushed over to Cedric’s villa,
Cedric, who was completely wasted, had barely hit the bed when Veronica’s bodyguard picked him up and tossed him into the bathtub.
“Turn on the water, hold him under to sober him up!”
Following the order, the bodyguard soon woke Cedric up with cold water.
Struggling to climb out of the bath, Cedric saw Veronica’s stern face.
“Veronica?”
Cedric, enduring discomfort in his stomach, sat by the bathtub and looked at her
“Why are you here?”
“What do you mean “why am I here“?”
Veronica looked at his pathetic state and felt like slapping him!
Believing that Cedric had transformed while effectively overseeing the Laurence Group, similar to Bernard, she had hoped for his continued growth. However, upon arriving in
B City, he began exhibiting foolish behavior, causing harm to Dr. Yeager and ending up in custody
His delusion of winning back Ms. Vulpe was nothing more than an absurd fantasy, tarnishing the family’s honor in the process.
Furing with anger, Veronica stormed over to Cedric, seizing him by the collar.
“Let’s go home!” she demanded.
“I’m not going!” Cedric retorted defiantly, swatting Veronica’s hand away. In his unsteady state, he lost his balance and stumbled, ultimately collapsing onto the floor.
Veronica angrily walked over, intending to slap him.
But she stopped just before her hand reached his face.

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...
