Chapter 1074


    Garett suffered from severe depression, a fact well–known to Hailey and Bernard.


    Eleanor’s distressing condition became evident when she lost color in her face, and her pale hand


    weakly leaned against the wall.


    Yeager, observing the situation, expressed concern about Garett’s well–being to Ms. Shultz,


    acknowledging the potential danger of severe depression.


    Eleanor seemed shocked and surprised by the question.


    Yeager felt fortunate that Hailey had introduced him to Garett, as it gave him the opportunity to confront


    Bernard and protect his friend.


    Yeager didn’t want to say these things, but Bernard kepting at him. Why should he let Bernard


    have it easy?


    He wanted to drive a wedge between Eleanor and Bernard, make Eleanor choose to leave Bernard,


    make Bernard suffer from depression like Garett, and


    then take his own life!


    Thinking about this, Yeager smirked and walked towards Eleanor.


    “Ms. Shultz, Garett’s depression is because he misses you. You chose to leave him for Bernard. Have


    you ever thought about how much it hurts him?”


    Yeager’s words hit Eleanor like a sledgehammer.


    She remembered how Garett had worked on the construction site to help her raise money for medical


    expenses…


    He was only sixteen then.


    He worked tirelessly, bent over, ignoring the sweltering heat, his sweat pouring down, head down,


    doing all the heavybor.


    When she found out, Garett justughed and said, “Eleanor, I’m doing this to get fit, not for the money”


    But the callouses and scars on his hands were all for her….


    Garett’s whole life was for her…


    Eleanor’s hand slid down the wall…


    Seeing her like this, Yeager was pretty sure he was right..


    “Ms. Shultz, Garett lost his legs, he can’t stand up anymore, and he’s got severe depression. He might


    die…”


    He might die….

    Eleanor gazed at Yeager, her face pale and filled with concern. “Is what you said true?” she asked.


    “Whether it’s true or not, you should ask Bernard. He knows everything.” Yeager replied,ughing half–


    heartedly, his expression dark.


    “But he’s scared of losing you, so he didn’t tell you. He’s actually waiting for Garett to take his own life,


    he…” Yeager’s words were cut short by a sudden p across his face.


    Hailey, the one who pped him, stood there, her eyes red and swollen from fatigue. She showed no


    pity or hesitation, only pure hatred for Yeager.


    “Yeager,” she said, her voice strained. Hailey stood protectively in front of Eleanor, her emotions


    simmering with anger.


    “I regret ever introducing you to Garett, Hailey continued, her anger directed at Yeager. When she


    introduced Yeager to Garett, she hoped he would bring some happiness into his life. But instead, when


    Yeager learned about Garett’s depression, he chose to hide it from everyone, including Eleanor.


    Bernard’s actions were also a source of frustration for Hailey. He promised to help Garett return to his


    country, only to now make him lose face in front


    of others.


    He couldn’t ept this oue, couldn’t ept defeat! It was just a counterattack, he did nothing


    wrong, absolutely nothing!


    Yeager clenched his fists, looking at the extremely disappointed Hailey and Eleanor, who was still in


    shock, and slowly smirked…


    “Ms. Shultz, did you hear that? Hailey regrets introducing me to Garett. That’s proof that what I said is


    true!”


    “You dare to say that!”


    Hailey was so angry that she raised her hand to p Yeager, but he caught her wrist.


    “You dare to say you didn’t hide anything from Ms. Shultz?”


    Eleanor snapped back to reality, seeing Yeager gripping Hailey’s wrist, and pushed Yeager away.


    “Whether they hid anything from me or not, it’s none of your business!”


    Eleanor clenched her fists and approached Yeager.


    “Don’t think you can use Garett to get at us!”


    Her pale face had regained some color, as if she had epted the truth and was ready to face it head–


    on.


    “Yeager, you’ve murdered, framed people, deceived Hailey, hidden the past, drugged her, you’re not


    innocent. What right do you have to drive a wedge between us?!”


    Eleanor’s usation made Yeager clench his fists tighter.


    “No matter what you say, Bernard deliberately hid the truth from you. He’s waiting for Garett to die!”
