A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 993

Yeager's words were loaded with hidden accusations that made the bystanders cringe.

"Mr. Laurence might be a ladies' man, but he's always been faithful to each of his girlfriends, never cheating on them."

Chase pushed aside the crowd and walked in with a proud and confident stride.

Yeager glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Cedric.

"With so many girlfriends, don't you find it rather unfortunate?" he remarked.

Upon hearing this, Cedric struggled to maintain his composure and attempted to stand up, but Chase placed a restraining hand on him.

"Mr. Laurence simply enjoys dating women to pass the time, without engaging in any hasty entanglements," Chase explained, taking a step closer to Yeager.

"But in this aspect, Mr. Laurence still cannot match Dr. Yeager's..."

Yeager's face darkened, and he asked sharply, "What do you mean?"

Chase's lips curled into a faint smile, and he replied, "Dr. Yeager, after graduating from high school, you immigrated abroad to a society that is more open and sparsely populated. Finding certain information there wouldn't be too difficult."

His implication was that Yeager's past could be easily uncovered with a little money, so it would be best not to stand on a moral high ground to criticize others, as it might backfire on him.

Yeager clenched his fist but only said, "I fell for Hailey back in high school, and she's the only person I missed after going abroad. You'd better not confuse me with Mr. Laurence."

Chase did not refute, but instead nodded in agreement.

"You have a point, though..."

He stared at Yeager, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

"Are you saying that you've been in love with Ms. Vulpe since high school?"

Yeager didn't understand his point, but answered firmly.

Chase's lip curled up slightly, his eyes filled with doubt.

"You're a lawyer, and I can't argue with you," he said, turning away and leaving. Once outside the hospital, he glanced at the candy in his hand for a moment before tossing it into the trash.

Sitting inside his car, he took out his phone and dialed Hailey's number.

As for Cedric, no matter what his brothers might say, they wouldn't have a significant impact on him.

However, the matter of using Garett to taunt Bernard was something he needed to explain to Hailey immediately.

Before Hailey learned the full extent of it, he had to take preventative measures to ensure she would believe him.

Hailey was absentmindedly having her meal when she heard his call. At first, she was reluctant to answer, but he persisted with several calls in a row, leaving her no choice but to pick up.

Yeager asked where she was, and she said she was eating out. Yeager wanted to join her, but Hailey said Liana and Eleanor were there, and whatever it was, they could talk about it when she got back.

Hearing Liana was there, Yeager seemed to predict what Liana would say. His eyes flickered, but he didn't say much, only reminding Hailey to enjoy herself.

After hanging up, Yeager drove straight to Hailey's villa and waited in the garden for Hailey. He waited for a long time. It was dark when Hailey finally drove back.
