A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 989

When Yeager heard this, he felt his heart race.

After dealing with Cedric, Bernard steered the conversation back to himself, clearly seeking a debate.

Turning to face Bernard, Yeager couldn't help but shudder under his intense gaze.

"I don't know everything about your affairs, so I won't comment. Mr. Laurence, I think you know what's what," Yeager replied cautiously.

"Really?" Bernard's smile had a chilling seriousness to it.

"I heard that some time ago, Ms. Vulpe took you to meet Mr. Falsey?" Bernard inquired.

Yeager didn't fully understand why Bernard was bringing this up but didn't dare respond casually, so he simply nodded.

"Ms. Vulpe treats Mr. Falsey like a little brother. Taking you to meet him means she wanted Mr. Falsey to approve of you. I'm sure after meeting you, he thought you were decent and entrusted Ms. Vulpe to you. But then you go behind his back and talk about him and my wife. Don't you think you should apologize to Mr. Falsey, Dr. Yeager?"

"I didn't talk about him and Ms. Shultz. I was criticizing you for taking what's not yours..."

In his haste to clear things up, Yeager spoke too quickly, giving Bernard a handle.

"So you're saying, as long as you're criticizing me, you don't need to apologize?"

Turns out Bernard was using Mr. Falsey's name to force an apology out of him.

Just as Yeager was thinking this, Bernard whipped out his phone, found a picture of Jason, propped it up on the desk behind him, then tapped lightly on the screen.

"Mr. Falsey is here. Apologize and we'll let it go."

Aidyn couldn't help but laugh at the side.

Mr. Laurence wasn't trying to get Yeager to apologize to Garett, he was clearly trying to get Yeager to apologize to him.

After all, the person in the photo was Mr. Laurence, not Garett.

Hearing Aidyn's laughter, Yeager felt a bit embarrassed.

"Mr. Laurence, I was just using Mr. Falsey as an example, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Absolutely necessary."

Bernard stood tall with his hands in his pockets, moving his gaze from the photo to Yeager.

But if he could get out of here safely, an apology didn't seem like a big deal.

He looked at Liana and Aidyn, nervously asking, "Can they leave first?"

Bernard glanced at the two. Liana and Aidyn quickly left the office.

Then, Yeager turned to Bernard, swallowing his pride to say 'sorry'.

Bernard watched him, then bent down to squat in front of Yeager, staring coldly into his eyes.

"Dr. Yeager, remember, if something shouldn't be said, then don't say them. Otherwise, there's a price to pay."

With that, Bernard stood up, grabbed his phone and left the office.

Yeager turned his head, watching Bernard's cold and proud figure. He gritted his teeth hard.

Just as the door was about to close, Bernard paused, turned around like a king with the power of life and death in his hands, and nodded at him.

"Dr. Yeager, don't forget to apologize to Cedric."
