A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1211

Her ability to quibble was truly something.

"You just did this to piss off Hailey Vulpe."

Facing the direct accusation from Latonia, Hertha didn't even flinch, then furrowed her brows, pretending to be confused, "Pissing off Hailey? What does it have to do with Hailey?"

Latonia set down her cup, looking coldly at Hertha.

"The moment you entered Cedric's apartment, Ms. Vulpe showed up. You must have known she was coming, that's why you staged this whole drama."

Hertha acted as if she finally understood, she lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked straight into Latonia's eyes.

"Mrs. Laurence, I bumped into Cedric on the street and took him home. During that time, I had no idea Ms. Vulpe was coming. Did Cedric and Ms. Vulpe have a prior appointment?"

This point was indeed not mentioned by Cedric, so he and Hailey probably had no appointment.

Latonia remembered that she went to Cedric's apartment right after she had a conversation with Hailey that night.

Her quick action to find Cedric indicates that she took her advice to break up with Cedric.

It seems that Hailey seeing the intimate scene of Cedric and Hertha was also because of her.

For a moment Latonia could not find any other response, she had to remain silent.

"Judging by your expression, they didn't have an appointment. If they didn't, how could I possibly know in advance that Ms. Vulpe would come to Cedric's apartment?"

"If I didn't even know she was coming, why would I want to piss her off?"

"Even if I wanted to use this incident to annoy Ms. Vulpe afterwards, it would definitely leave a record of me seeking her out."

"You can directly ask Ms. Vulpe if I ever sought her out."

"If I didn't, then you guys are just fabricating evidence to frame me!"

Listening to these words, Latonia's face darkened.

"Ms. Hertha, I can't guess your motives, but I know that I won't let your slander against Cedric go easily."

Seeing Latonia signal the bodyguard again, Hertha retorted in fear.

"Mrs. Laurence, I did not slander Cedric. He really did sleep with me. Please don't resort to violence against me!"
