A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1058

Cedric's face hardened the moment Hertha embraced him. With a swift, forceful push, he freed himself from her, "I've made it clear, stop seeking me out!"

Running into him unexpectedly, Hertha was unwilling to let this chance slip away. She grabbed his hand insistently, pleading, "Cedric, don't be so cruel. I was your first love, your savior. You can't just cast me aside for some older woman..."

Shaking off her grip, Cedric rebutted, "Hertha, you did save me once, and for that, I'm grateful. But I've returned your kindness through this project. We are square now..."

A pause hung between them as Cedric's icy stare bore into her, "And I'm aware of your antics with Bernard."

At his words, Hertha's heart raced. She hadn't anticipated that Cedric would know about her past indiscretion. A wave of awkwardness washed over her face as she struggled to form a response.

Ignoring her expression, Cedric turned around and headed for the top floor of the international hotel.

As the elevator doors opened, he didn't see Hailey, only Yeager lying unconscious on the floor...

Frowning, he quickly pulled out his phone to call Chase.

"Did Yeager do anything to Ms. Vulpe?"

Chase asked before Cedric could even speak.

Those recordings and photos were all sent by Chase.

After sending them, he assumed that Hailey would confront Yeager and break up with him.

Given Yeager's "if I can't have her, no one will" attitude, he would definitely act after Hailey broke up with him.

Having figured out Yeager's mindset, Chase immediately told Cedric what he had done and urged him to find Hailey.
