Chapter 994


    Upon entering. Hailey noticed that Yeager appeared somewhat nervous, standing up with an


    expression as if he hadmitted a grave mistake, looking utterly bewildered. “Hailey, did Dr. Terrill


    tell you everything that happened today?” Yeager initiated the conversation, surprising Hailey, who had


    expected him to act nonchnt


    “Mhm,” she nodded, approaching Yeager ‘Are you waiting here to tell me something?”


    Hailey wanted to hear Yeager’s exnation of the situation


    Yeager didn’t go into detail but simply said, “Liana told the truth I did indeed use Garett Falsey to taunt


    Bernard Laurence”


    Upon hearing this, Hailey fell into deep silence before speaking. “Bernard came to see you not to


    meddle in our affairs but because his brother was treated unfairly and ended up in the emergency room


    due to distress. He just wanted to rify the matter with you. From the beginning, he told you that he


    wanted a fair resolution and even allowed you to suggest the solution yourself. He did that in the hopes


    of getting an apology from you for the misunderstanding, but you chose to retaliate with Garett Yeager


    lowered his head and questioned, “Cedric Laurence was the one who harassed you first. The person


    who should apologize is him, not me Why should I apologize to Bernard?”


    Looking directly at him, Hailey replied, “You’re right, Cedric was indeed in the wrong initially. However,


    you could have been firm and, when Bernard asked for a solution, suggested that Cedric apologize to


    you first. I believe Bernard is a reasonable person, even if he isn’t, he would agree to your request for


    my sake. But instead, you chose to provoke Bernard with Garett. Do you think that by doing so, you


    can stop Bernard from seeking justice for his brother’s mistreatment, while also standing on the moral


    high ground to condemn all three of them for their past actions?


    Yeager opened his mouth but found no words to refute. He had indeed wanted to stand on the moral


    high ground and condemn those who wielded power and influence Seeing his silence, Hailey calmed


    down and said gently: “You know, Garett and Eleanor are the closest people to me in this world. We’ve


    shared many years together, missing out on much due to misunderstandings It’s a regret. But now


    Eleanor and Bernard are married, which means their issues have been settled. But you still use Garett


    to mock Eleanor’s husband, did you ever think about how awkward this makes me feel”


    As she spoke, a hint of doubt shed in Hailey’s eyes. “Do you truly love me?”


    If he really loved her, he should have defended her when his friends badmouthed her, right?


    If he really loved her he should have thought about her feelings before doing or saying anything, right?


    However… it seemed like Yeager didn’t do that He was just fighting with Cedric

    Hearing her doubts, Yeager’s heartbeat quickened, he quickly held Hailey’s shoulders and said,


    “Hailey, I truly love you. Don’t question my feelings for you because of this. I admit part of why I did this


    was to challenge authority, but I didn’t consider how it would bother you, how it would affect your


    feelings. That was my mistake”


    He took Hailey’s hand and ced it on his cheek, “Or how about this, you hit me a few times, let off


    some steam?”


    Last time when he seemed weak and helpless, Hailey had been soft hearted and forgiven him. But this


    time, Hailey remained unmoved and asked, “How did you know Cedric was harassing me?”


    Except for that time at the hotel when Cedric mistakenly thought they were sharing a room and angrily


    barged in to harass her. After that incident, Cedric hadn’t bothered her again. It was only when they


    bumped into each other on the golf course and Cedric saw her kissing Yeager that he lost it and came


    after her again. But Yeager wasn’t there at the time, how did he know?


    Asked by Hailey, Yeager felt a bit uneasy and looked away. The kiss on the golf course was actually on


    purpose. He knew Cedric hadn’t left, so he deliberately kissed Hailey Only in this way could he prove


    that he was better than Cedric, and he guessed that Cedric would bother Hailey because of the kiss.


    Sure enough, the next day. Cedric had a car ident. Seeing Hailey’s anxious expression, he felt


    jealous but had to pretend to be generous and told Hailey to rush to the hospital to see Cedric He


    followed her to the hospital with some gifts, just to provoke Cedric Cedric had once made it impossible


    for him to find awyer for awsuit. They had a grudge against each other, so he wouldn’t let him off


    easily.


    But how could he tell Harley all this? Yeager made up an excuse. “I saw it by ident….*


    Hailey kept pressing. “Where did you see it?”


    Unable to answer, Yeager quickly changed the subject, “Cedric is so in love with you, he must be


    harassing you all the time. I don’t need to see it to know it’s happening”
