A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 986

Chapter 986 

If this were in the past, those words would’ve deeply affected Bernard However, now he had Eleanor, so he was feeling much more relaxed. 

“No one can replace Garett” 

His point was that Garett wasn’t Cedic. He wouldn’t suddenly appear after they got married and attempt to go back in time. That scenario was not even a possibility 

“So, Mr Laurence, do you think what Cedric did was unacceptable?” 

Yeager had a talent for getting to the heart of the matter This question was truly thought provoking Even Liana and Aidyn couldn’t answer 

“I never said he messed up 

That was exactly the answer Yeager was fishing for He couldn’t help but let a satisfied smirk creep onto his face 

“Why are you getting in my face if you think Cedric made a mistake?” 

I’m here to address your framing of Cednic. Get it straight, Dr. Yeager,” he clarified, showing his concern was solely about Cedric’s situation, not Yeager’s involvement with Hailey But Yeager seemed to be blurring the lines between the two matters. 

“Mr. Laurence, I framed him because he kept pursuing Hailey, attempting to restart their relationship. I felt I had a reason to act. So he should face the consequences, right?” Yeager defended himself. 

It was only then that Bernard understood why Ms. Vulpe chose to forgive Yeager “Dr. Yeager, you’re quite the smooth talker. It’s a waste of your talents to be a doctor,” Bernard remarked, comparing Yeager’s personal actions to his professional life. 

Yeager didn’t appreciate the comparison. “Mr. Laurence, becoming a doctor is my dream Please don’t make fun of it, he responded politely but with a hint of discomfort. It seemed Bernard had hit a nerve, and Yeager responded as if Bernard had crossed a line. 

Bernard hadn’t mocked Yeager’s profession. He simply believed Yeager was deceptive and couldn’t be trusted, just like a wolf in sheep’s clothing–and in that regard, he 

wasn’t wrong 

“You may have your reasons, but you shouldn’t have manipulated Ms Vulpe. It’s shady and not above board” 

Yeager shrugged it off, spreading his hands 

“So what? At least it keeps Hailey by my side, right?” 

His tone and gestures were as if to say, “Look, Cedric, the fool, just won’t take a hint. He’s clueless about strategy. And what did he get? Misunderstood and dumped by Halley But look at me, a little cunning, and Hailey chose me. This is the right way.” 

Bemard didn’t agree with his view but didn’t debate. He just arched his eyebrows and asked, “How long do you think she’ll stay with you?” 

Yeager suddenly fell silent. He realized that Hailey’s heart was not with him. His trump card was suddenly worthless. 

Bernard was seated at his desk. As he stood up, his height gave him a dominating presence that was suffocating 

Bernard took one step forward, and Yeager instinctively took a step back. It was as if maintaining a certain distance kept him safe from Bernard’s powerful aura. 

A man who’s used to having the upper hand indeed has a natural fierceness. Just one look could make Yeager cower, even too scared to look up. 

“Dr. Yeager, you may have plenty of seemingly reasonable excuses, but those don’t concern me. All I know is, my brother has never suffered injustice. I’m here to seek justice for him. If you get my drift, come up with a solution. If you don’t, then play by my rules.” 

What were his rules? 

Yeager had worked in his hospital long enough to have heard some stories. 

Apparently, the CEO of the Laurence Group was known for cracking down hard on employees who messed up.
