Chapter 988
Yeager firmly believed he was meless, ready for a face–off with Bernard
“I don’t have his family background, nor a big bro who can solve all my problems, so it’s only natural i
can’t outdo him”
Bernard smiled a gentle, knowing smile
“Besides, Cedric doesn’t need to y any tricks to win over Ms. Vulpe”
His gazended on Yeager’s bandaged hand as he said this
Yeaper was taken aback that Bernard had seen through his attempt to fake Cedric’s car ident and
felt cornered
It was like being stripped naked, no cover left, his inner selfid bare with a few simple sentences
As he was drowning in embarrassment, Bernard’s cold voice,ced with mockery, echoed in his ears.
“The biggest difference between Cedric and you is that he wouldn’t stoop to your level topete for
Ms Vulpe. If he did, you wouldn’t stand a chance” The words were patronizing and made Yeager feel
like crap
It was like a thorn in his heart, exposing his true self.
He knew that even though Cedric was a yboy, he was living an honest, carefree life.
But from another perspective, if he wanted something, he had to y dirty
What’s wrong with that?
“You’re not in the wrong but even if you were Cedric, he wouldn’t stoop to that”
The most significant distinction between them was their character
While one could argue that Cedric was at fault for his yboy behavior and persistently pursuing
Hailey,pared to Yeager’s maniptive tactics, Cedric didn’t seem as much in the wrong.
Yeager’s heart pounded, and he couldn’t meet Bernard’s gaze, showing his inner fear. He knew there
were no secrets when facing Bernard.
However, despite this knowledge, Yeager tenaciously tried to negotiate with Bernard, seemingly
believing that mere words could restore his dignity
“You’re siding with Cedric because he’s your cousin, aren’t you?”
“Absolutely.”
Bernard admitted it bluntly, leaving Yeager dumbstruck.
“Dr Yeager, you have two options. Either apologize to Cedric personally or leave this hospital.”
Considering Ms. Vulpe’s reputation, this was the oue. If Ms. Vulpe weren’t Eleanor’s good friend,
Bernard probably wouldn’t even bother talking to Yeager
Making Yeager apologize to Cedric was out of the question, leaving the hospital…
Yeager looked atLiana, who was signaling him to choose the former. This made him resist.
*Hailey has already apologized to Cedric on my behalf.”
Heaning this, Bernard’s disdain for Yeager grewN?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
“You let a woman clean up your mess, and you have the guts to say that?”
Bernard must have been really pissed to say that
Yeager, having already pissed him off and stepped on toes, was not afraid to go further.
“Mr. Laurence, arent you afraid I’ll say something nasty again if I go apologize?
Bernard’s gaze was full of impatience and sharpness.
“Dr. Yeager, I won’t let the same person hurt Cedric in the same way again.”
In other words, if Yeager dared to do it again, he would face more than just leaving the hospital.
Yeager was working on an important report with Will Webb and couldn’t leave before the results were
in
Once he got the results, his status would be more than just a regr doctor.
After weighing his options, Yeager chose to apologize without hesitation for his own benefit.
“Fine, I’ll go apologize to himter”
What’s so shameful about saying sorry?
Seeing Yeager, who had been full of righteousness, bow down to his interests, Bernard’s handsome
face was full of mockery
“Dr Yeager, you gure know how to protect your own benefit.”
This was a digat hisck of backbone, which Yeager epted Who would damage their own interests
for a moment of dignity? “Well, I’ll go meet Cedric
Yeager thought he could just say a few words and slip away, but Bernard stopped him
“Dr. Yeager, after all this talk, don’t you want to ask me how I ended up with Ms. Shultz?”
When Yeager heard this, he felt his heart race
