Chapter 990


    Word got around pretty fast that Bernard had a bone to pick with Yeager and Hailey got wind of it in no


    time


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Eleanor, who was with her on a shopping and dining day out, offered to y peacemaker, but Hailey


    turned her down t


    She said. Yeager had stirred up this homet’s nest himself, so he should be the one to deal with it.


    Bernard wasn’t in the wrong for standing up to him


    Hailey’s mind was as clear as a bell It’s just that things between the two of them had progressed to the


    point where they were talking marriage, so they had to keep moving


    forward


    Eleanor was more worried about Hailey’s mamage if this one went south too, Hailey might be scared


    off marriage for good


    However, Hailey said Cedric wasn’t a great catch either Yeager might have hus issues, but Cedric was


    a yboy and that was just as bad


    Hearing this, Eleanor had to admit there was some truth to it. After all, what girl would want to roll the


    dice with Cedric? But then…..


    “Cedric onceed over you”


    Hailey paused for a moment as she was picking up some food, then seemed to remember something


    and cracked a small smile.


    “He once got up in the middle of the night in my tiny apartment, stepped on a mouse, and cried his


    eyes out.”


    *For real?”


    Hearing this juicy piece of gossip, Eleanor’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.


    “A grown man, scared to tears by a mouse?”


    “Yep, can you believe it?”


    Hailey put a deboned fish into Eleanor’s te.


    “So you see, he’s just a big baby Crying doesn’t mean anything”


    Just as Eleanor was about to stand up for Cedric, Liana rushed over


    After taking a seat, Liana filled them in on what happened in the hospital director’s office.


    Mr Laurence didn’t let her leave his office, obviously intending for her to be the messenger to tell Hailey


    what kind of man Yeager really was


    It was crystal clear what Mr. Laurence was aiming for, he wanted Hailey to reconsider her choices once


    she knew the real Yeager.


    She didn’t necessarily have to choose Cedric, but she definitely needed to think twice about Yeager.


    After all, marriage was a big deal.


    So, Liana spilled the beans, including everything that involved Garett


    Hearing this, Hailey’s face clouded over. She hadn’t expected Yeager to drag Garett into this just to get


    back at Bernard.


    Garett was family to her and Eleanor. Their past was long behind them, and Bernard had never yed


    games with Garett. Even though he’d once wooed Eleanor away, it was all fair game, he never stabbed


    Garett in the back


    Bernard and Garett had been through a lot together, and in the end, they let each other go for the


    other’s sake. Eleanor was able to start over with Bernard because they both stepped aside This was a


    far cry from their current situation.


    Now Yeager was using Garett to mock Bernard, essentially denying Garett’s character and


    disrespecting Eleanor. And his words ‘didn’t you also fancy Eleanor back in the day, just like me? was


    a clear provocation towards Bernard


    Hailey could understand Yeager using this tactic against Cedric. After all, Cedric was the one who


    started pestering her. But Eleanor and Garett were the two people she cared about most, and she


    wouldn’t allow them to be used as ammunition for someone else’s fight


    “Mr. Laurence made it pretty clear, he just wants justice for his brother. He doesn’t give a hoot about


    what’s going on between you and Dr. Yeager. This should have been dealt with separately. Dr. Yeager


    misunderstood Mr. Laurence, and an apology would have sorted things out. But Dr. Yeager didn’t take


    this lying down, so he used Garett to mock Mr. Laurence. At first nce, those two sentences Dr.


    Yeager said about Garett don’t seem to be a big deal. But if you think about it, it shows that Dr. Yeager


    doesn’t respect or care about Garett, even knowing he’s your family. Because when he felt challenged,


    the first thing he thought of was to use Garett, who could inock Mr. Laurence. to defend himself


    Liana’s words were straight to the point, but they were also very truthful and clear. After she made her


    point, she patted Hailey’s hand.


    “Normally, since me and Will introduced you to Dr. Yeager, we’d naturally hope you two hit it off. But


    what Dr. Yeager said to Mr. Laurence today changed my mind”
