A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1208

Chapter 1208

Hertha, who was flirting with a man, immediately pushed him away the moment she saw an incoming call from him.

Making a quiet gesture at the naked man, she answered the call.

“Cedric, calling me this late, are you missing me already?”

Cedric grimaced at the sound of Hertha’s seductive voice, trying to keep his cool.

“Did you do anything to me after you took me home that night?”

At his words, Hertha responded instantly, a smirk playing on her lips.

“Cedric, shouldn’t you be asking yourself that question? Did you do something to me?”

Cedric was startled by her words, but quickly composed himself, his voice icy.

“If I’ve done anything to you, you’d use it to blackmail me, not choose to leave.”

The empty bed the next morning, wasn’t it proof that Hertha felt guilty and left first?

“Cedric, I left because I knew even if we had gotten intimate, you wouldn’t choose me again. To me, it was enough to have one last intimate night with you before your marriage.”

If any other woman had said those words, Cedric might have believed them. But Hertha, who once seduced Bernard, how could Cedric possibly believe her?

“You better tell the truth or else…”

“I asked you how did it feel that night, and I asked if you enjoyed it. You answered me at that time, but why are you denying it now?”

The words made Cedric freeze. Hailey had said something similar. Did he really…

“No… it can’t be!”

“Why not?” Hertha, lying on the couch, said to the phone.

“Cedric, you were drunk that night, you might not remember. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance footage.”

Cedric’s home was not under surveillance for privacy reasons, something Hertha knew well.

The only reason she’d said that was to make Cedric think he’d really slept with her, because…

The truth was known only to her. If she didn’t tell the truth, there was no way to prove it.

“Cedric, since you’ve abandoned me, let this misunderstanding cloud your judgment forever! And that bitch Hailey dare to snatch my man, she’ll never have Cedric!” Hertha thought.

Cedric, feeling a bit dizzy, hung up on Hertha, and had Jacques check the surveillance at the apartment elevator.

He quickly got the footage, seeing Hertha opening the apartment door with his finger.

Soon after, Hailey arrived. She tried to enter the password several times and only succeeded after checking her phone,

When she went in, the door was not closed, and one could vaguely see her slowly walking into the room.

The camera only captured the entrance area, not the situation inside. After a while, Hailey ran out covering her face.

She seemed to have encountered something devastating, crying heavily, trembling as she pressed the elevator button, as if she wanted to leave quickly.

About three hours later, a disheveled Hertha pushed open the apartment door, staggering out.

Her legs were weak and she could barely stand, looking like she’d just had a wild night, exuding an aura of exhaustion yet softness.

Cedric, holding his phone, leaned against the wall next to the elevator after watching the entire surveillance video.

Had he betrayed Hailey in his drunken state that night?

If he had, he and Hailey would be over.

But now, whether it was Hertha, the surveillance footage, or Hailey’s account, they all suggested to him that he had done such a thing.
