A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 813

Chapter 813

After a while. Yeager’s emotions gradually subsided

1ll give my cousin a call. He’s a lawyer, though he primarily handles property cases. Perhaps he can offer some assistance Yeager said, determinedly

Yeager dialed his cousin’s number, and the call was promptly answered

He explained the situation to his cousin, anxiously awaiting his response. However, a sigh emanated from the other end of the line

“Yeager, I genuinely want to help you, but this matter seems rather trivial it doesn’t meet the threshold for legal proceedings,” his cousin informed him

His cousin continued. Moreover, why did you involve yourself with Cedric’s ex–girlfriend? is it because our family is affluent or holds influence?”

“You’re not a kid anymore, you should consider your parents more, instead of

“Alright, I get it”

Yeager hung up the phone

1 have a classmate who’s a lawyer too, I’ll give him a call.”

He picked up his phone, ready to seek help again. Hailey reached out and held his phone.

“Yeager, stop seeking help.”

“You mean I should stop making calls? Yeager looked up at Hailey

“The two lawyers have made it clear.”

The problem still wasn’t solved

*But…”

Hailey cut him off, “How about this, I’ll contact Mr. Chase, see if we can modify the mediation terms, have Cedric apologize to you, and ensure he won’t bother me anymore” “Cedric will not agree

I give it a shot anyway”

Hailey left Yeager and went back to her room, picked up Chase’s business card and called Chase…..……..

Chase was startled awake by the phone call at five in the morning

“Who the hell is calling at this hour”

“Mr. Chase, it’s me

A soft voice came from the phone.

“We don’t accept the mediation terms, can they be modified?”

Hearing Hailey’s voice, Chase was surprised that she had given in so quickly

“What do you want to modify them to?”

“Have Cedric apologize to Yeager, and make sure he won’t bother me anymore.”

This was more difficult than paying compensation.

Chase sat up in bed and said Ms. Vulpe, I might be able to keep Cedric away from you, but getting him to apologize to Yeager is impossible”

Hailey, also sitting up in bed, frowned at Chase’s refusal.

“He started it, shouldn’t he apologize

Chase chuckled, “Ms Vulpe, it was Yeager who first said that Cedric was uncivilized Although it’s wrong for him to bother you, it’s not right to label him as uncivilized, right?”

Hailey opened her mouth, seemed to want to say something, but felt that the term ‘uncivilized did indeed touch on the Laurence family’s elders.

“Mr Laurence is facing the accusation of being uncivilized, perhaps for the first time. Regardless of one’s upbringing it someone were to label me as uncivilized, particularly

a competitor, believe it or not, I would swiftly respond with a punch, rendering them unrecognizable to their own mother Chase expressed, acknowledging the intensity of the situation and the visceral reaction it could provoke

“Mr. Laurence has been quite tolerant, he held it in for so long if he didn’t hear you make such harsh comments about him, I believe he wouldn’t have been angry enough to hit someone. To be exact, the cause of the problem was your bias.”

As a lawyer, Chase shifted all the blame onto Hailey in just a few words, leaving her speechless

Seeing silence on Hailey’s end, Chase started talking again.

“So, Ms Vulpe, how bout Yeager apologizes to Mr. Laurence first, then I’ll have him apologize to Yeager?

Is this a schoolyard fight where everyone has to apologize?

Hailey sensed that Chase was toying with her, yet she struggled to replace concrete evidence to support her suspicions

Indeed, Chase was purposefully toying with Hailey, driven by his misguided belief that women were inherently naise and easily manipulated

However, this conflict extended beyond mere gender dynamics. It became a matter of personal dignity Transcending gender boundaries.

Yeager publicly accused Cedric of moral corruption and uncivilized behavior if Cedric chose not to retaliate, his friends would step in to defend his honor.

But these things were unnecessary to say to Hailey, it would only magnify a small issue if she got involved

The priority was to dissuade her from suing and to maintain the original mediation Terms

“Ms Vulpe, you think about it and call me when you have made up your mind”

Chase didn’t wait for Hailey’s response and hung up the phone, as if he had control of the situation, believing she wouldn’t sue him again.

Although this was a bit arrogant, it was realistic Powerful people could always dominate in any situation.

Hailey put down the phone, lay in bed, staring at the dazzling night view outside the window, staying awake all night.
