A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 809

Cedric's fist was about to slam down when he saw Hailey rushing over and immediately pulled back.

Hailey had already closed her eyes, ready to take a punch, but there was no movement behind her, which left her slightly confused.

She knew Cedric had withdrawn his hand, but she didn't turn around, just looked down to check the damage on Yeager Alis's face.

"Are you alright?"

Yeager Alis had been staring blankly at her as she charged over. Only now, hearing her voice, did he snap out of his surprise.

"I'm... okay."

He hadn't expected Hailey to come rushing over to protect him, which only served to affirm his decision to stand up for her.

Seeing Yeager Alis was hurt but still conscious, Hailey turned to face Cedric, his face a picture of disbelief and rage.

"Mr. Laurence, you forced me and hit my boyfriend. I'm going to call the cops; see you at the police station."

With that, she pushed off the man sitting on top of Yeager Alis, helped him up and started to leave the VIP room.

The drama ended just like that, leaving the remaining people to help Cedric up after they left.

"Mr. Laurence, get up..."

Cedric brushed off everyone's hands and just sat there on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.

His eyes, bloodshot from anger, were fixed on the direction where the two had left...

Hailey, you promised to break up with Yeager Alis. Why didn't you keep your word?

And... why did you jump in front of Yeager Alis?

Did you really fall for Yeager Alis?

If you fell for him, what am I supposed to do?

Chase knew that Cedric was a proud man, never showing embarrassment in front of his friends.

But now, because of Hailey, even his image was thrown out the window. He sat there like a deflated balloon.

He always said he'd cherish and not quarrel with women, but he wouldn't listen, it serves him right!

Chase pushed a few people away, "Let's call it a night. I'll handle the rest here."

At this critical moment, no one mocked Cedric. They just reminded Chase to talk some sense into him and left.

Once everyone had left the VIP room, Chase reached out a hand to Cedric.

"Get up. You look ridiculous sitting there."

His grandfather had told him that love was a complicated thing. Once you got involved, you'd become irrational.

He hated who he had become, losing all basic manners over a woman!

His temper had worsened, and now he'd even started to get physical. It was not worth it!

But he couldn't just give up on Hailey and let her and Yeager Alis be together. That was impossible!

"I won't let go!"

He looked at Chase, raising an eyebrow.

"I've fallen for her. Why should I let go?"

Naturally, he'd do everything to win back the girl he liked. Letting her go was out of the question!

His reason even left Chase speechless for a while until he managed to say, "Although your reasoning makes sense, don't you feel like you're the third wheel in this?"

Cedric, not caring, picked up the red wine on the table and downed it in one gulp.

"I want to be the third wheel that breaks them apart!"

Anyone who dares to steal his girl was asking for trouble!
