A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1209

Cedric gripped his phone, his hand slightly trembling, unable to believe what he’d just done.

He furrowed his brow, replaying the surveillance footage over and over again, noticing a stark difference between his own drunken blackout and Hailey’s.

Judging from his own collapse at the hotel entrance, his blackout was a complete loss of self–control, Could he have possibly hooked up with someone in such a state?

And Hertha and Hailey both entered the door almost simultaneously. The timing was too perfect for a guy with no sense of action to actually start something.

Guys usually have no clue what they’ve done when they’re hammered. Cedric couldn’t tell if he’d done anything based on his erection the next day, so he was left judging based on these two points.

But just these two points weren’t enough for Hailey to believe him. The only way to clear his name was to get the truth out of Hertha.

With a clearer mind, Cedric called up Latonia and asked her to prepare a private jet back home. Latonia thought he was giving up because Hailey wouldn’t forgive his mistake, but he brought Hertha home once they landed.

Latonia, who knew what went down, saw Cedric threatening and bribing Hertha. She smiled, seeing a bit of Bernard in him and was glad that he was finally learning how to handle things.

However, no matter how much Cedric pressed, Hertha wouldn’t admit it. “Cedric, you were wasted that night, but not completely unconscious. How else would you have thrown me to the bed once we got home?”

Cedric’s face turned dark instantly but without evidence, he had no words to fight back. “There are no cameras in my apartment. You can plant whatever you want.”
