Chapter 993


    Yeager’s words were loaded with hidden usations that made the bystanders cringe


    “Mr. Laurence might be adies‘ man, but he’s always been faithful to each of his girlfriends, never


    cheating on them


    Chase pushed aside the crowd and walked in with a proud and confident stride.


    Yeager nced at him, then turned his gaze to Cedric


    “With so many girlfriends, dont you find it rather unfortunate?” he remarked


    Upon hearing this, Cedric struggled to maintain hisposure and attempted to stand up, but Chase


    ced a restraining hand on him.


    “Mr. Laurence simply enjoys dating women to pass the time, without engaging in any hasty


    entanglements, Chase exined, taking a step closer to Yeager


    “But in this aspect, Mr. Laurence still cannot match Dr. Yeager’s…”


    Yeager’s face darkened, and he asked sharply. “What do you mean?”


    Chase’s lips curled into a faint smile, and he replied, “Dr. Yeager, after graduating from high school, you


    immigrated abroad to a society that is more open and sparsely popted Finding certain information


    there wouldn’t be too difficult”


    His implication was that Yeager’s past could be easily uncovered with a little money, so it would be best


    not to stand on a moral high ground to criticize others, as it might backfire on him.


    Yeager clenched his fist but only said, ‘I fell for Hailey back in high school, and she’s the only person I


    missed after going abroad. You’d better not confuse me with Mr. Laurence”

    Chase did not refute, but instead nodded in agreement.


    “You have a point, though…”


    He stared at Yeager, scrutinizing him from head to toe.


    “Are you saying that you’ve been in love with Ms. Vulpe since high school?”


    Yeager didn’t understand his point, but answered firmly


    Chase’s lip curled up slightly, his eyes filled with doubt


    “Being in love with someone for such a long time shows your deep affection for her If you love her that


    much, why didn’t you find her as soon as you got back? Instead, you waited until Dr. Terrill’s party to


    approach her. By then, you were already back for quite a while. If you love Ms. Vulpe that much, why


    didn’t you find her right away and pursue her boldly?”


    Yeager wanted to exin, but Chase cut him off.


    “Don’t tell me you didn’t know Ms Vulpe was divorced and single, or that you were afraid of disturbing


    her I might believe that if you were still a high school student, but now, you’re a sessful doctor who


    doesn’t even go after the woman you love; that’s a bit hard to swallow”


    Chase paused and raised two fingers:


    “So, to a normal person, these two points sound like excuses…


    Yeager’s countenance grew even more grim


    “That’s because I’ve been too preupied,” he defended


    “It’s not just about being busy. It’s about forgetting about her when you’re apart and only realizing her


    worth when you meet again, rekindling the emotions of youth,” Chase articted


    In truth, Yeager’s feelings for Ms. Vulpe might not be as strong as Mr. Laurence’s, but Chase couldn’t


    speak bluntly about it, considering Ms. Vulpe is now Yeager’s girlfriend. If there were any issues


    between Ms. Vulpe and Yeager in the future, this topic could be used by Yeager as a counterattack,


    causing her more distress.


    Yeager found himself unable to retort against Chase’s verbal onught.


    “You’re awyer, and I can’t argue with you,” he said, turning away and leaving Once outside the


    hospital, he nced at the candy in his hand for a moment before tossing it into the trash.


    Sitting inside his car, he took out his phone and dialed Hailey’s number.


    As for Cedric, no matter what his brothers might say they wouldn’t have a significant impact on him.


    However, the matter of using Garett to taunt Bernard was something he needed to exin to Hailey


    immediately


    Before Hailey learned the full extent of it, he had to take preventative measures to ensure she would


    believe him.


    Hailey was absentmindedly having her meal when she heard his call. At first, she was reluctant to


    answer, but he persisted with several calls in a row, leaving her no choice but to pick up


    Yeager asked where he was, and she said she was eating out. Yeager wanted to join her, but Hailey


    said Liana and Eleanor were there, and whatever it was, they could talk about it when she got back


    Hearing Liana was there, Yeager seemed to predict what Liana would say His eyes flickered, but he


    didn’t say much, only reminding Hailey to enjoy herself


    After hanging up. Yeager drove straight to Hailey’s vi and waited in the garden for Hailey. He waited


    for a long time. It was dark when Hailey finally drove back
