A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 959

Bernard from the Lawrence Group just wrapped up a global meeting and retreated to his office.

He fired up his computer and spotted an email about a court summons.

Just as he was about to open it, Cedric barged in without knocking.

"Bernard, Chase just told me that Evelyn has sued you and Eleanor for kidnapping her granddaughter. Did you get the summons?"

Bernard, who had just received the summons, gave a slight nod.

"You barged into my office without knocking. That's a month's salary docked."

Cedric thought Bernard would at least be a bit rattled upon hearing about the lawsuit. But what he seemed to care more about was docking his salary.

"Evelyn's lawyer is well-known internationally, and he's won all the international lawsuits he's handled. Aren't you worried about not beating him?"

The concept of not being able to win never existed in Bernard's vocabulary.

Only those with nothing better to do would pick on him over such trivial matters. It was truly annoying.

Cedric, pissed off, stormed out of the room. But remembering his friend's advice, he steeled himself and walked back in.

"Why don't you have Chase handle this lawsuit? He's a famous lawyer too."

Bernard gave him a cold look.

"The Laurence Group has its own legal team. We've never lost a case."

"But this is different. It's a personal matter about kidnapping. Letting a professional handle it might make winning easier."

"You're using this as an opportunity to get Chase and Sigrid back together, aren't you?"

Caught on to his scheme, Cedric immediately shut up and nodded.

"You know that Chase and my sister broke up because of my parents."

Only Bernard, Veronica, and Cedric knew the truth. Sigrid was kept in the dark.

Back then, Cedric's parents despised Chase, blaming him for corrupting Cedric and stealing Sigrid.

They threatened Chase with his family and Sigrid's future, forcing him to find an excuse to break up with Sigrid.
