With his hands all wrapped up in bandages, Yeager pushed open the door to the dean’s office, only to find Bernard, looking sharp in a black suit
This guy was sitting on the desk, slender, hands in pockets, slightly turned face, like a perfect sculpture.
beautiful.
His face was stunningly beautiful, features deep, like a work of art, like God’s favorite kid.
But such a man exuded an air of nobility and elegance, like Cedric, an aura that was innate
When Yeager saw Bernard, he had to admit, he felt inferior in front of Cedric, and timid in front of Bernard
“Do you know why I called you?”
Cold voice, indifferent atmosphere, oppressive feeling. Yeager felt a bit suffocated
He looked up at Bernard, and from those star–like deep eyes, he could feel the killing intent
“I know”
Under Bernard’s cold gaze. Yeager stiffened up, clenched his fists, and walked up to him.
“Did you call me here to avenge Cedric?”
Bernard looked at him from beneath his long lashes, with a penetrating power.
“Avenge is a bit of a stretch. I just want to ask Dr. Yeager, how do you plan to deal with the charges against Cedric?”
Bernard’s gaze was unfathomable, full of aggression.
Yeager found it difficult to maintain eye contact with Bernard. After a few seconds, he involuntarily looked away.
“Is such a small matter also something that needs Mr. Laurence to handle personally?” Yeager asked, attempting to appear nonchalant despite feeling nervous inside.
Knowing he was Hailey’s boyfriend. Yeager felt confident that Bernard wouldn’t take any action against him, regardless of how he treated Cedric. He assumed Bernard would show restraint for Hailey’s sake, so he dared to provoke him
However, Bernard seemed to see through Yeager’s thoughts. His eyes flickered with a hint of scornful amusement.
“I’ve always handled his problems while growing up. Does Dr. Yeager have a problem with that?” Bernard responded, challenging Yeager.
Yeager shook his head, also revealing a scornful smile.
“It’s nice to have a good brother.”
He scored Cedric, thinking that such a playboy only relied on the protection of his family, and that it was his brother who had to clean up his mess
If Cedric had no family background, no good looks, he wouldn’t even be able to compare to him, let alone dream of snatching Hailey away
Bernard saw his disdain, but he had no reaction, not even explaining what family meant, because he felt it was unnecessary.
“For the sake of Ms. Vulpe, I indeed won’t do anything to you. But you need to explain the charges against him. I believe Ms. Vulpe won’t mind ”
-The card Yeager was relying on was stated so bluntly by Bernard, making him a bit awkward As the CEO of the Lawrence Group, Bernard certainly had a decisive way of
speaking
“So, Mr. Laurence, how do you want me to handle this?”
Bernard showed a slight smile.
“What do you think you should do?”
This kind of counter–question undoubtedly gave the decision to Yeager, letting him make his own choice and pay for his actions.
But Yeager wasn’t willing to give in….
“Mr. Laurence, suppose Garett kept trying to get back with your wife–what would you do?” Yeager asked boldly, seemingly unafraid to address the sensitive issue.
Hearing this, Liana and Aidyn, who stood nearby, exchanged glances, impressed by Yeager’s audacity to bring up Garett. They knew Garett was Eleanor’s first love and someone she had been emotionally attached to for many years–a subject that was off limits for Bernard and an obstacle he could never overcome in his lifetime. As Hailey’s boyfriend, Yeager should have been aware of this history between Garett and Eleanor. Even if he wasn’t, when Hailey introduced him to Garett, he should have sensed that there was something significant there
By comparing Garett to Cedric, Yeager seemed to underestimate Bernard’s potential reaction. Did he genuinely believe that Bernard wouldn’t take any action against him just because of Hailey’s presence?
The situation was filled with tension, and all parties wondered how Bernard would respond to Yeager’s daring question.
