A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 812

After Chase left, Yeager held Hailey's hand tightly, "Hailey, don't let him get to you. He's just trying to intimidate you."

Hailey tried to smile back, but didn't say anything. Her biggest worry was causing harm to innocent people.

Cedric was quickly taken away by Chase, leaving Hailey and Yeager waiting outside the police station for a cab. The contrast was too much.

Back at the hotel, Hailey treated Yeager's wound again before heading back to her own room to rest. But she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

She decided to sit up, staring at the quilt for a while, then picked up her phone.

She wanted to call Eleanor Shultz, but she didn't want to disturb her while she was on her honeymoon.

After much hesitation, Hailey decided not to make the call and got out of bed to find Yeager instead.

Yeager was on the phone, seemingly talking to a lawyer.

Hailey waited for him to finish his call before she walked in.

"Did you find a lawyer?"

Yeager nodded and gestured for Hailey to sit on the couch.

"The lawyer I found said that Chase is a well-known lawyer in the country, good at litigation, especially in court. His debating skills are top-notch."

Hearing this, Hailey felt even more that she couldn't win against Chase, but Yeager reassured her.

"Don't worry, the lawyer I found also has a lot of court experience."

But Hailey was still worried.

"Let me sue him alone. You have family, you guys shouldn't get involved in this."

Chase was right, even if Cedric was sued, he wouldn't have a big problem.

But Hailey wanted him to learn a lesson to prevent him from coming after her again.

As for how Cedric would retaliate later, she wasn't afraid to face him alone.

But Yeager had a lot of relatives, and she didn't want them to get involved.

After all, Cedric wasn't an ordinary person. Behind him was power, not just money.

Not to mention the president of the Laurence Group, Bernard, even Cedric's parents would be a big problem.

Yeager's frustration grew. "What do you mean there's no evidence? Look at the injury on my face!"

The lawyer pointed out, "Cedric also has facial injuries. It could easily be argued as a mutual fight. Your chances of winning are slim. Pursuing this further would only waste time and resources."

Yeager reluctantly came to realize the futility of his actions, feeling as though he was squandering valuable time and resources.

"You..."

Before Yeager could get angry, the man on the other end quickly interrupted him.

"Yeager, you know, in our circle, including the legal field, Chase's words are like law. We can't afford to offend him..."

His words were clear. With Chase around, no one in the legal field would dare to take their case.

Just one Chase was enough to prevent them from even hiring a lawyer, let alone suing Cedric in court.

"I'm sorry, Yeager."

The call was quickly ended on the other end. Yeager held the phone, his expression serious.

Knowing that Yeager was upset, Hailey quietly sat beside him, keeping him company.
