A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1211

Chapter 1211

Her ability to quibble was truly something.

“You just did this to piss off Hailey Vulpe.”

Facing the direct accusation from Latonia, Hertha didn’t even flinch, then furrowed her brows, pretending to be confused, “Pissing off Hailey? What does it have to do with Hailey?”

Latonia set down her cup, looking coldly at Hertha.

“The moment you entered Cedric’s apartment, Ms. Vulpe showed up. You must have known she was coming, that’s why you staged this whole drama.”

Hertha acted as if she finally understood, she lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked straight into Latonia’s eyes.

“Mrs. Laurence, I bumped into Cedric on the street and took him home. During that time, I had no idea Ms. Vulpe was coming. Did Cedric and Ms. Vulpe have a prior appointment?”

This point was indeed not mentioned by Cedric, so he and Hailey probably had no appointment.

Latonia remembered that she went to Cedric’s apartment right after she had a conversation with Hailey that night.

Her quick action to replace Cedric indicates that she took her advice to break up with Cedric.

It seems that Hailey seeing the intimate scene of Cedric and Hertha was also because of her.

For a moment Latonia could not replace any other response, she had to remain silent.

“Judging by your expression, they didn’t have an appointment. If they didn’t, how could I possibly know in advance that Ms. Vulpe would come to Cedric’s apartment?”

“If I didn’t even know she was coming, why would I want to piss her off?”

“Even if I wanted to use this incident to annoy Ms. Vulpe afterwards, it would definitely leave a record of me seeking her out.”

“You can directly ask Ms. Vulpe if I ever sought her out.”

“If I didn’t, then you guys are just fabricating evidence to frame me!”

Listening to these words, Latonia’s face darkened.

“Ms. Hertha, I can’t guess your motives, but I know that I won’t let your slander against Cedric go easily.”

Seeing Latonia signal the bodyguard again, Hertha retorted in fear.

“Mrs. Laurence, I did not slander Cedric. He really did sleep with me. Please don’t resort to violence against me!”

Latonia ignored her and just looked coldly at the bodyguard.

“Beat her until she admits she did it!”

“Got it!”

The bodyguard started to beat Hertha, who was left bruised and battered, but she still firmly denied it.

“I didn’t slander Cedric, he really did sleep with me. Why don’t you guys believe me?”

Seeing this, Latonia ordered the bodyguard to beat her even harder.

Soon, Hertha was almost unconscious from the beating, but she still didn’t change her story.

“Mrs. Laurence, are you pressuring me like this because Cedric sleeping with me was discovered by Ms. Vulpe, and you guys want to deceive Ms. Vulpe, so you’re forcing me to say he didn’t do it?”

Hertha, lying on the ground, her face covered in blood, still stared hard at Latonia.

At this moment, Hertha seemed genuinely unaware that Hailey had been there that night.

Facing such a stubborn and determined Hertha, even Latonia, who was convinced of the truth, started to replace it hard to distinguish between truth and lies.

But still, Latonia remained cool and resolute, looking coldly at Hertha, who was curled up in pain in the corner.

“If my son says he didn’t touch you, then he didn’t touch you!”

Hearing this, Hertha sneered inwardly, but on the surface she played innocent, tearfully saying,

“Mrs. Laurence, just because Cedric says he didn’t touch me, does that mean it’s true?”

Her question stumped Latonia for a moment, and Hertha took the chance to say:

Is it possible that Cedric lost control after drinking and doesn’t remember, or he remembers but is afraid that Ms. Vulpe will replace out the

truth, afraid of losing Ms. Vulpe, so he lied? Otherwise, why would he tie me up here and force me to say he didn’t do it?”

This argument was something Latonia didn’t expect. She had thought of Hertha as a weak girl she could easily handle, but she didn’t expect that Hertha’s tactics, after her experiences abroad, had already surpassed hers.

Arguing with Hertha would not only fail to produce a favorable result, but also fail to replace any loopholes. And she couldn’t really hurt Hertha. After a moment of thought, Latonia stood up from the sofa.

She walked over to Hertha, slowly squatted down, and gently lifted Hertha’s face with her hand.

Their eyes met, and a sharp look suddenly appeared in Latonia’s eyes.

“Ms. Hertha, as long as you admit that nothing happened between you and Cedric, your parents can enjoy a peaceful and happy life in the future. If you don’t admit it, they might not be able to make it through this winter…”
