Chapter 986 If this were in the past, those words wouldâve deeply affected Bernard However, now he had Eleanor, so he was feeling much more relaxed.
âNo one can replace Garettâ
His point was that Garett wasnât Cedic. He wouldnât suddenly appear after they got married and attempt to go back in time. That scenario was not even a possibility âSo, Mr Laurence, do you think what Cedric did was unacceptable?â
Yeager had a talent for getting to the heart of the matter This question was truly thought provoking Even Liana and Aidyn couldnât answer âI never said he messed up That was exactly the answer Yeager was fishing for He couldnât help but let a satisfied smirk creep onto his face âWhy are you getting in my face if you think Cedric made a mistake?â
Iâm here to address your framing of Cednic. Get it straight, Dr. Yeager,â he clarified, showing his concern was solely about Cedricâs situation, not Yeagerâs involvement with Hailey But Yeager seemed to be blurring the lines between the two matters.
âMr. Laurence, I framed him because he kept pursuing Hailey, attempting to restart their relationship. I felt I had a reason to act. So he should face the consequences, right?â Yeager defended himself.
It was only then that Bernard understood why Ms. Vulpe chose to forgive Yeager âDr. Yeager, youâre quite the smooth talker. Itâs a waste of your talents to be a doctor,â Bernard remarked, comparing Yeagerâs personal actions to his professional life.
Yeager didnât appreciate the comparison. âMr. Laurence, becoming a doctor is my dream Please donât make fun of it, he responded politely but with a hint of discomfort. It seemed Bernard had hit a nerve, and Yeager responded as if Bernard had crossed a line.
Bernard hadnât mocked Yeagerâs profession. He simply believed Yeager was deceptive and couldnât be trusted, just like a wolf in sheepâs clothingâ
and in that regard, he wasnât wrong âYou may have your reasons, but you shouldnât have manipulated Ms Vulpe. Itâs shady and not above boardâ
Yeager shrugged it off, spreading his hands âSo what? At least it keeps Hailey by my side, right?â
His tone and gestures were as if to say, âLook, Cedric, the fool, just wonât take a hint. Heâs clueless about strategy. And what did he get?
Misunderstood and dumped by Halley But look at me, a little cunning, and Hailey chose me. This is the right way.â
Bemard didnât agree with his view but didnât debate. He just arched his eyebrows and asked, âHow long do you think sheâll stay with you?â
Yeager suddenly fell silent. He realized that Haileyâs heart was not with him. His trump card was suddenly worthless.
Bernard was seated at his desk. As he stood up, his height gave him a dominating presence that was suffocating Bernard took one step forward, and Yeager instinctively took a step back. It was as if maintaining a certain distance kept him safe from Bernardâs powerful aura.
A man whoâs used to having the upper hand indeed has a natural fierceness. Just one look could make Yeager cower, even too scared to look up.
âDr. Yeager, you may have plenty of seemingly reasonable excuses, but those donât concern me. All I know is, my brother has never suffered injustice. Iâm here to seek justice for him. If you get my drift, come up with a solution. If you donât, then play by my rules.â
What were his rules?
Yeager had worked in his hospital long enough to have heard some stories.
Apparently, the CEO of the Laurence Group was known for cracking down hard on employees who messed up.
Bernardâs power was so immense, who knows if heâd obliterate Yeagerâs medical career for his little brotherâs sake.
The more power one has, the more intimidating they are. What could a scholar like Yeager do against a CEO like Bernard?
But he just couldnât swallow this!
Why could Cedric do whatever he pleased because of his background?
And why was he facing retaliation for using a few tricks to keep his girlfriend?
Yeager despised these powerful people who could crush everything with just a word!
