A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1225

Hailey was about to whip out her phone to tell Eleanor Shultz she's back in the country when she heard the sound of a car outside.

Following the noise, she saw Cedric opening the passenger side door of his car, helping Hertha out.

Seeing Cedric bringing Hertha home, Hailey felt a pang in her heart as the sweetness of the morning seemed to evaporate.

She felt a sense of despair and didn't know what to do. All she could do was sit there, watching the two of them walk in.

After Cedric led Hertha in, he let go of her hand and pushed her towards Hailey.

Hailey was a bit puzzled and looked up at Cedric, whose face was etched with indifference.

When he caught Hailey's gaze, he gave her a reassuring look, then withdrew it and looked coldly at Hertha. "Pin her to the table!"

The bodyguard who followed them in immediately stepped forward, grabbing Hertha's shoulders and pinning her to the glass table.

After being pinned, Cedric squatted down in front of Hertha.

"Be clear in front of my wife, did I have sex with you?"

Hailey thought this ordeal was over, but it seemed that for Cedric, it wouldn't end until the truth was out.

His actions gave her a sense of security, and her sorrow gradually faded. Was it because his actions proved his innocence, that she no longer cared?

Hertha, who was forcefully pinned to the table, couldn't see Hailey. All she could see was Cedric, his merciless demeanor infuriating her.

"Cedric, you're really lousy, denying what you've done!" Hertha.

"Am I lousy?" Cedric retorted, nodding his head. "Alright, very well."

He pulled out his phone, dialed the police in front of Hertha, and reported that Hertha was framing him.

After calling the police, Cedric put down his phone, looking down at Hertha from his high position.

"You better tell the truth before the police arrive, I might consider letting you off."

Seeing that he really called the police, Hertha was slightly scared, but she quickly calmed down.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll accuse you of rape?"

Cedric scoffed.

"This time, no matter how you frame me, I'll fight this legal battle with you. Get ready for prison!"

Cedric had never been this tough before. This was the first time, and Hertha began to feel afraid.

She could accuse Cedric of rape, but that would be a lie. And how could she possibly stand against the power of the Laurence family?

Hertha raised her eyes, looking at the towering Cedric.
