Chapter 1061

During the ride to the hospital, Eleanor got the news from Bernard that Hailey had been drugged by Yeager and then assaulted by a drunk middle–aged man. The attack had occurred in the greenbelt, and if Hailey hadn’t fought back fiercely, things could have ended up much worse

Upon hearing this, Eleanor was Imd, “How could Yeager do something so disgusting?!”

She had believed Yeager to be a decent man, not someone who would treat Hailey as Austin had. However, it seemed Yeager was even more despicable than Austin.

Bernard didn’t respond to Eleanor’s outburst. Instead, he gently patted her hand in an attempt to calm her down.
