A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 988

Chapter 988 

Yeager firmly believed he was blameless, ready for a face–off with Bernard 

“I don’t have his family background, nor a big bro who can solve all my problems, so it’s only natural i can’t outdo him” 

Bernard smiled a gentle, knowing smile 

“Besides, Cedric doesn’t need to play any tricks to win over Ms. Vulpe” 

His gaze landed on Yeager’s bandaged hand as he said this 

Yeaper was taken aback that Bernard had seen through his attempt to fake Cedric’s car accident and felt cornered 

It was like being stripped naked, no cover left, his inner self laid bare with a few simple sentences 

As he was drowning in embarrassment, Bernard’s cold voice, laced with mockery, echoed in his ears. 

“The biggest difference between Cedric and you is that he wouldn’t stoop to your level to compete for Ms Vulpe. If he did, you wouldn’t stand a chance” The words were patronizing and made Yeager feel like crap 

It was like a thorn in his heart, exposing his true self. 

He knew that even though Cedric was a playboy, he was living an honest, carefree life. 

But from another perspective, if he wanted something, he had to play dirty 

What’s wrong with that? 

“You’re not in the wrong but even if you were Cedric, he wouldn’t stoop to that” 

The most significant distinction between them was their character 

While one could argue that Cedric was at fault for his playboy behavior and persistently pursuing Hailey, compared to Yeager’s manipulative tactics, Cedric didn’t seem as much in the wrong. 

Yeager’s heart pounded, and he couldn’t meet Bernard’s gaze, showing his inner fear. He knew there were no secrets when facing Bernard. 

However, despite this knowledge, Yeager tenaciously tried to negotiate with Bernard, seemingly believing that mere words could restore his dignity 

“You’re siding with Cedric because he’s your cousin, aren’t you?” 

“Absolutely.” 

Bernard admitted it bluntly, leaving Yeager dumbstruck. 

“Dr Yeager, you have two options. Either apologize to Cedric personally or leave this hospital.” 

Considering Ms. Vulpe’s reputation, this was the outcome. If Ms. Vulpe weren’t Eleanor’s good friend, Bernard probably wouldn’t even bother talking to Yeager 

Making Yeager apologize to Cedric was out of the question, leaving the hospital… 

Yeager looked atLiana, who was signaling him to choose the former. This made him resist. 

*Hailey has already apologized to Cedric on my behalf.” 

Heaning this, Bernard’s disdain for Yeager grew 

“You let a woman clean up your mess, and you have the guts to say that?” 

Bernard must have been really pissed to say that 

Yeager, having already pissed him off and stepped on toes, was not afraid to go further. 

“Mr. Laurence, arent you afraid I’ll say something nasty again if I go apologize? 

Bernard’s gaze was full of impatience and sharpness. 

“Dr. Yeager, I won’t let the same person hurt Cedric in the same way again.” 

In other words, if Yeager dared to do it again, he would face more than just leaving the hospital. 

Yeager was working on an important report with Will Webb and couldn’t leave before the results were in
