Chapter 994
Upon entering. Hailey noticed that Yeager appeared somewhat nervous, standing up with an
expression as if he had committed 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 nonchalant
“Mhm,” she nodded, approaching Yeager ‘Are you waiting here to tell me something?”
Hailey wanted to hear Yeager’s explanation 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 clarify 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

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 flashed 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 placed 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

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 accident. 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 a lawyer for a lawsuit. 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 accident….*
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”
