A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1212

Hertha had been slowly baiting Latonia into threatening her and now that she got what she wanted, she couldn't help but snicker.

"Mrs. Laurence, aren't you afraid that threatening me might make Ms. Vulpe less inclined to marry Cedric?"

"Whether she marries Cedric or not is none of my business. I'm doing this for my son."

That answer only made Hertha happier.

"So, you're threatening me because you think my family can't stand against your rich and powerful clan!"

"Since you understand what I’m saying, just do as I say–"

After taking a deep breath, Hertha straightened up like she was facing her execution.

"Alright, if you want to hear me say it didn’t happen, then it didn’t happen."

Getting what she wanted, Latonia let go of Hertha's chin and gave her face a light pat.

"Save that for Ms. Vulpe."

After she finished speaking, Latonia stood up, took the handkerchief from her bodyguard and elegantly wiped her fingers.

"Lock Hertha up and clean up her face. When her wounds have healed, bring her to see Ms. Vulpe."

"Yes, ma’am."

Just as the bodyguard was taking Hertha away, Cedric entered the living room.

"Mom, where's Hertha?"

With her back to Cedric, Latonia calmly threw the bloodstained handkerchief into the trash.

"I've taken care of it. In three days, she'll come with us to tell Ms. Vulpe the truth."

Hearing this, the always tense Cedric suddenly relaxed.

He knew that he couldn't have done something like that, even if he was drunk.

Thank God he hadn't done anything with Hertha, or he would never forgive himself!

Three days later, Hertha was taken to Hailey on a private plane.

At the moment, Hailey was still taking care of Garett, and she looked at Hertha in shock, who was crying.

"Hailey, that night, after I took Cedric home and saw you come looking for him, I got jealous and staged a drama. Actually...Cedric was already passed out, he knew nothing."
