A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 529

By the time Cedric got there, it was already the crack of dawn the next day. When he found out what had happened from Veronica, he was so pissed off his face turned blue.

"What the heck does Cameron think he is to lay hands on my brother? I'm going to make him regret it!"

Cedric was fuming. He was ready to storm off to get back at Cameron but Veronica stopped him in his tracks.

"Stay out of it and don't cause any more trouble!"

The one thing Cedric feared the most when growing up was his sister. When she scolded him, he slowly cooled down.

Veronica looked at Cedric, "Cedric, you'll be acting president for now. You're in charge of the Laurence Group. Remember, don't reveal Bernard's situation to anyone."

With Bernard still unconscious in the ICU, Cedric was hardly in the mood to run the Laurence Group. He was about to refuse when Veronica's gaze shifted to Hailey.

"And who are you?"

Hailey was still wondering why Eleanor had been kidnapped. She was taken aback by Veronica's question.

Cedric quickly jumped in, "She's a good friend of Ms. Shultz's, and her name is Hailey."

Veronica nodded, then noticed their hands tightly clasped together, her eyes flickering slightly.

Even though Veronica didn't say anything, Hailey, being the sensitive one, got her drift. So, she said to Cedric, "I'll go find Eleanor. Let me know if Mr. Laurence's condition improves."

She tried to pull her hand away, but Cedric held on tight.

"We've already got a bunch of people out looking for Ms. Shultz. You should stay here with me and wait. Don't go anywhere, it's too risky."
