A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 959

Chapter 959 

Bernard from the Lawrence Group just wrapped up a global meeting and retreated to his office

He fired up his computer and spotted an email about a court summons

Just as he was about to open it, Cedric barged in without knocking 

Bernard, Chase just told me that Evelyn has sued you and Eleanor for kidnapping her granddaughter Did you get the summons?” 

Bernard, who had just received the summons, gave a slight nod 

You barged into my office without knocking That’s a month’s salary docked.” 

Cedric thought Bernard would at least be a bit rattled upon hearing about the lawsuit. But what he seemed to care more about was docking his salary 

Evelyn’s lawyer is well known internationally, and he’s won all the international lawsuits he’s handled. Aren’t you worried about not beating him?” 

The concept of not being able to win never existed in Bernard’s vocabulary 

Only those with nothing better to do would pick on him over such trivial matters It was truly annoying

Cedric, pissed off, stormed out of the room. But remembering his friend’s advice, he steeled himself and walked back in 

Why don’t you have Chase handle this lawsuit? He’s a famous lawyer too.” 

Bernard gave him a cold look 

The Laurence Group has its own legal team. We’ve never lost a case” 

But this is different. It’s a personal matter about kidnapping Letting a professional handle it might make winning easier.” 

You’re using this as an opportunity to get Chase and Sigrid back together, aren’t you?” 

Caught on to his scheme, Cedric immediately shut up and nodded

You know that Chase and my sister broke up because of my parents.” 

Only Bernard, Veronica, and Cedric knew the truth. Sigrid was kept in the dark

Back then, Cedric s parents despised Chase, blaming him for corrupting Cedric and stealing Sigrid

They threatened Chase with his family and Sigrid’s future, forcing him to find an excuse to break up with Sigrid

As to what excuse Chase used, Cedric had no clue. He only knew that his friend and sister wouldn’t have broken up if not for his parents

Your sister is over him” 

Too much time has passed. Trying to force them back together now would be pointless

But he still loves her.” 

Cedric defended his friend

Give him another chance. Let him fight for her. If he fails, he can finally move on. Otherwise, he’ll be miserable.” 

Bernard frowned

She’s about to marry into the Sharp family” 

I know it’s not ideal, but they’re not officially married yet, right

Cedric leaned over the desk, patiently trying to persuade Bernard 

Let Chase use this lawsuit to get close to my sister again. If she still won’t forgive him, I’ll stop speaking up for him… 

Cedric rarely pleaded for others. This was the first time. Bernard hesitated for a few seconds and then, out of respect, agreed
