A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 987

Chapter 987 

If it was someone else, they might be swayed by Yeager’s words, might even start to believe that he wasn’t at fault, that it was all on Cedric 

But sorry, the bloke standing in front of Yeager wasn’t Hailey but the ultra rational and cool headed Bernand 

“Dr. Yeager, I’ve said my piece, and I won’t be repeating myself You’ve got five minutes to think it over” 

In other words, Bernard was sticking to his guns, no matter what Yeager had to say, he wasn’t about to budge 

Yeager was getting ticked off, fists clenched tight. 

“Mr. Laurence, didn’t you do the same thing to me, snatching Ms. Shultz right out from under Garett’s nose?” 

If he’d only mentioned it once, it could be said it was unintentional, but bringing it up a second time? That’s picking a fight plain and simple 

Yeager’s words weren’t just aimed at Cedric, he was taking a jab at Mr. Laurence’s character. 

Liana, the matchmaker between Yeager and Hailey, was getting twitchy for Yeager, and tried to give Mr Laurence a heads up before he blew his top 

‘Dr. Yeager, watch your mouth 

She was hoping Yeager would apologize, but Yeager pretended not to catch on, fists still clenched, ready to take on Bernard. 

“I heard that Mr. Falsey and Ms. Shultz grew up together, they were always lovebirds. So, why did she end up marrying you?” 

“Dr Yeager, if you don’t know the full story don’t compare Cedric to Mr. Falsey!” 

Liana was really losing her cool, her warning escalating from a reminder to a threat. Using her authority as the dean, she warned Yeager not to provoke Mr. Laurence anymorel 

Yeager finally looked up, meeting a pair of icy cold eyes. He seemed to realize he’d crossed a line, but it was too late to take back his words. 

“I did snatch her.” 

Just as Yeager was expecting Bernard to throw a punch, or maybe kick him, Bernard suddenly dropped this bombshell. 

Those words let Yeager breathe a sigh of relief, and it also gave him the guts to counterattack Bernard. 

“So, are you saying that you and I are birds of a feather, Mr. Laurence?” 

Bernard chuckled coldly, lips curving upwards in disdain. 

“I’m not like you I took what I wanted fair and square, not by sneaking around” 

After saying this, Bernard slightly lowered his head, looking down on Yeager with a smug expression. 

“You’re probably angry because you think that if you had my background, snatching Ms Vulpe would have been like taking candy from a baby. But what you don’t realize is, 

some people, even if they do have the backing, can’t always get what they want. As it happens, Ms. Vulpe and my wife are cut from the same cloth.” 

His words were deep, and Yeager was lost. But Liana got it. In fact, Hailey values a person’s character the most. Once Hailey sees through Yeager’s true colors, she’ll dump him for good. Even if he wins temporarily, what’s the point? Hailey will ultimately make the right choice based on her true feelings. 

Yeager didn’t answer, seemed like he was considering how to respond. While he was deep in thought, Bernard closed in on him again. 

“Dr Yeager, do you feel inferior to Cedric?” 

The man’s icy voice slowly echoed in Yeager’s ears: 

“Do you know why?”
