Hailey stared blankly at Latonia.
"I never threatened your son's life, so you can't pin all the blame on me."
After saying that, she turned to leave, but Latonia's indifferent voice echoed behind her.
"Ms. Vulpe, did my son do something wrong?"
What she said to Cedric that day was, "You know it yourself. Why do you want me to spell it out? Can't you leave some dignity to yourself?"
Clearly, Cedric did something that hurt her.
Latonia wasn't sure, she just tentatively asked, but Hailey stopped in her tracks.
"Mrs. Laurence, you should ask your son that question."
After saying that, Hailey quickly walked away. Garett would be able to get out of bed tomorrow, she needed to hurry up and pick out the best functional wheelchair.
Latonia watched Hailey's retreating figure, stood still for a few seconds, then quickly turned and headed towards the hotel.
Back at the hotel, the first thing Latonia did was pick up her bag and throw it at Cedric, who was lying motionless on the bed.
"Cedric, you bastard, you're the one who caused the mess, why do I have to clean it up?!"
These past few days, she thought it was her meddling that caused them to break up, but it turned out Cedric did something to Hailey first!
Cedric lying in the bed heard this, slightly furrowed his brows, but didn't respond to Latonia.
Seeing that he still ignored her, Latonia walked over and grabbed his ear.
"I just asked Hailey if you did something to hurt her, and she told me to ask you!"
"Clearly she's admitting that you did something wrong, tell me exactly what happened?!"
A confused Cedric looked innocently at Latonia.
"When did I ever hurt her?"
After they broke up, he had never been with anyone else. How could he have hurt her?
"Think carefully, did you sleep with another woman when you were drunk?"
"No way!"
"You can hold your liquor, why would you need me to bring you home?"
Indeed, he had always been good at holding his liquor, never drunk to the point where Chase had to bring him home.
But that night, his friends made him drink too much alcohol, so he got so drunk that he couldn't even remember the way home.
Chase was also drunk and couldn't help at all, so Cedric hung up the call and quickly dialed his assistant's number.
"Jacques, check the surveillance footage of me leaving the bar on the night of the 27th last month."
His assistant, Jacques, was very efficient and quickly found the surveillance video and sent it to Cedric.
When he saw Hertha appear in the surveillance footage, Cedric's heart tightened, and Latonia next to him was so angry that she fainted.
"Look at you, it's clearly your fault, and you're still making a fuss here. Now you know, I was misunderstood!"
Cedric glanced at Latonia impatiently and continued to scroll through the footage.
The footage showed him collapsing drunk and being helped into a car by Hertha.
So the one who brought him home was Hertha...
