Chapter 987


    If it was someone else, they might be swayed by Yeager’s words, might even start to believe that he


    wasn’t at fault, that it was all on Cedric


    But sorry, the bloke standing in front of Yeager wasn’t Hailey but the ultra rational and cool headed


    Bernand


    “Dr. Yeager, I’ve said my piece, and I won’t be repeating myself You’ve got five minutes to think it over”


    In other words, Bernard was sticking to his guns, no matter what Yeager had to say, he wasn’t about to


    budge


    Yeager was getting ticked off, fists clenched tight.


    “Mr. Laurence, didn’t you do the same thing to me, snatching Ms. Shultz right out from under Garett’s


    nose?”


    If he’d only mentioned it once, it could be said it was unintentional, but bringing it up a second time?


    That’s picking a fight in and simple


    Yeager’s words weren’t just aimed at Cedric, he was taking a jab at Mr. Laurence’s character.


    Liana, the matchmaker between Yeager and Hailey, was getting twitchy for Yeager, and tried to give Mr


    Laurence a heads up before he blew his top


    ‘Dr. Yeager, watch your mouth


    She was hoping Yeager would apologize, but Yeager pretended not to catch on, fists still clenched,


    ready to take on Bernard.


    “I heard that Mr. Falsey and Ms. Shultz grew up together, they were always lovebirds. So, why did she


    end up marrying you?”


    “Dr Yeager, if you don’t know the full story don’tpare Cedric to Mr. Falsey!”


    Liana was really losing her cool, her warning escting from a reminder to a threat. Using her authority


    as the dean, she warned Yeager not to provoke Mr. Laurence anymorel


    Yeager finally looked up, meeting a pair of icy cold eyes. He seemed to realize he’d crossed a line, but


    it was toote to take back his words.

    “I did snatch her.”


    Just as Yeager was expecting Bernard to throw a punch, or maybe kick him, Bernard suddenly dropped


    this bombshell.


    Those words let Yeager breathe a sigh of relief, and it also gave him the guts to counterattack Bernard.


    “So, are you saying that you and I are birds of a feather, Mr. Laurence?”


    Bernard chuckled coldly, lips curving upwards in disdain.


    “I’m not like you I took what I wanted fair and square, not by sneaking around”


    After saying this, Bernard slightly lowered his head, looking down on Yeager with a smug expression.


    “You’re probably angry because you think that if you had my background, snatching Ms Vulpe would


    have been like taking candy from a baby. But what you don’t realize is,


    some people, even if they do have the backing, can’t always get what they want. As it happens, Ms.


    Vulpe and my wife are cut from the same cloth.”


    His words were deep, and Yeager was lost. But Liana got it. In fact, Hailey values a person’s character


    the most. Once Hailey sees through Yeager’s true colors, she’ll dump him for good. Even if he wins


    temporarily, what’s the point? Hailey will ultimately make the right choice based on her true feelings.


    Yeager didn’t answer, seemed like he was considering how to respond. While he was deep in thought,


    Bernard closed in on him again.


    “Dr Yeager, do you feel inferior to Cedric?”


    The man’s icy voice slowly echoed in Yeager’s ears:


    “Do you know why?”


    Upon hearing this, Yeager clenched his fists tighter.


    At first, he didn’t think he was any worse than Cedric. When Cedric was bullying Hailey, he’d stood up


    to Cedric with Hailey. But Cedric had his gang backing him up, even when they ended up at the police


    station, he had friends to bail him out, while Yeager couldn’t even find awyer.


    Chase’sment about how could hepete with the Laurence family with his background, had


    driven a thorn into Yeager’s heart that he hadn’t been able to shake off and now he was feeling more


    and more inferior to Cedric. This inferiorityplex made him lose his confidence in front of Hailey


    He could sense that Hailey still had feelings for Cedric, but she was afraid to be with him because she


    didn’t want to get hurt, so she chose Yeager.


    Of course, Hailey had made it clear before they started dating that she was with him because she was


    mad at Cedric, but he had said he didn’t mind.


    But as time went by, he started to mind.


    It was inevitable, emotions can be fickle, but


    Does that mean he deserved to be bullied by Bernard?
