Chapter 985
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.

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?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBernard 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.
