Chapter 985 With his hands all wrapped up in bandages, Yeager pushed open the door to the deanâs office, only to find Bernard, looking sharp in a black suit This guy was sitting on the desk, slender, hands in pockets, slightly turned face, like a perfect sculpture.
beautiful.
His face was stunningly beautiful, features deep, like a work of art, like Godâs favorite kid.
But such a man exuded an air of nobility and elegance, like Cedric, an aura that was innate When Yeager saw Bernard, he had to admit, he felt inferior in front of Cedric, and timid in front of Bernard âDo you know why I called you?â
Cold voice, indifferent atmosphere, oppressive feeling. Yeager felt a bit suffocated He looked up at Bernard, and from those starâlike deep eyes, he could feel the killing intent âI knowâ
Under Bernardâs cold gaze. Yeager stiffened up, clenched his fists, and walked up to him.
âDid you call me here to avenge Cedric?â
Bernard looked at him from beneath his long lashes, with a penetrating power.
âAvenge is a bit of a stretch. I just want to ask Dr. Yeager, how do you plan to deal with the charges against Cedric?â
Bernardâs gaze was unfathomable, full of aggression.
Yeager found it difficult to maintain eye contact with Bernard. After a few seconds, he involuntarily looked away.
âIs such a small matter also something that needs Mr. Laurence to handle personally?â Yeager asked, attempting to appear nonchalant despite feeling nervous inside.
Knowing he was Haileyâs boyfriend. Yeager felt confident that Bernard wouldnât take any action against him, regardless of how he treated Cedric. He assumed Bernard would show restraint for Haileyâs sake, so he dared to provoke him However, Bernard seemed to see through Yeagerâs thoughts. His eyes flickered with a hint of scornful amusement.
âIâve always handled his problems while growing up. Does Dr. Yeager have a problem with that?â Bernard responded, challenging Yeager.
Yeager shook his head, also revealing a scornful smile.
âItâs nice to have a good brother.â
He scored Cedric, thinking that such a playboy only relied on the protection of his family, and that it was his brother who had to clean up his mess If Cedric had no family background, no good looks, he wouldnât even be able to compare to him, let alone dream of snatching Hailey away Bernard saw his disdain, but he had no reaction, not even explaining what family meant, because he felt it was unnecessary.
âFor the sake of Ms. Vulpe, I indeed wonât do anything to you. But you need to explain the charges against him. I believe Ms. Vulpe wonât mind â
-The card Yeager was relying on was stated so bluntly by Bernard, making him a bit awkward As the CEO of the Lawrence Group, Bernard certainly had a decisive way of speaking âSo, Mr. Laurence, how do you want me to handle this?â
Bernard showed a slight smile.
âWhat do you think you should do?â
This kind of counterâquestion undoubtedly gave the decision to Yeager, letting him make his own choice and pay for his actions.
But Yeager wasnât willing to give in....
âMr. Laurence, suppose Garett kept trying to get back with your wifeâwhat would you do?â Yeager asked boldly, seemingly unafraid to address the sensitive issue.
Hearing this, Liana and Aidyn, who stood nearby, exchanged glances, impressed by Yeagerâs audacity to bring up Garett. They knew Garett was Eleanorâs first love and someone she had been emotionally attached to for many yearsâa subject that was off limits for Bernard and an obstacle he could never overcome in his lifetime. As Haileyâs boyfriend, Yeager should have been aware of this history between Garett and Eleanor. Even if he wasnât, when Hailey introduced him to Garett, he should have sensed that there was something significant there A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

ï¤Chapter 1765 (END)
By comparing Garett to Cedric, Yeager seemed to underestimate Bernardâs potential reaction. Did he genuinely believe that Bernard wouldnât take any action against him just because of Haileyâs presence?
The situation was filled with tension, and all parties wondered how Bernard would respond to Yeagerâs daring question.
