Chapter 1017
Hailey couldn’t believe it and insisted on having a deep convo with Nina, but Nina just kept throwing out
interesting remarks that left Hailey speechless.
“Kids these days are really something else, quick–witted and fast on their feet.”
Liana walked in just in time to catch that comment. “I once did an IQ test for Nina. She scored higher
than you, so don’t treat her like a child.”
Hailey questioned if this was true, Liana just laughed and said, “With parents as brilliant as hers, of
course she’s gonna be amazing.”
Eleanor noticed that Liana and Hailey had arrived and after they hung out with Nina for a bit, she took
them to the lounge area.
She called for a barista to brew some coffee, served some desserts, and then asked Hailey, “Did you
meet Yeager’s parents today? How did it go?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHailey came to Fiord Roundabout to talk with Eleanor about this. “His dad didn’t say much, but his
mom seemed to look down on my background and job. Even though she wasn’t outright dismissive, I
could still feel it in her words.”
Eleanor and Hailey were both orphans and knew what it felt like to be looked down on. “Did Yeager
stand up for you?”
Hailey initially shook her head, but then she nodded. “He didn’t say anything when I was there, but
when I came back from the restroom, his mom changed her attitude. So, I guess he must have said
something.”
Liana was concerned about the outcome. Seeing Hailey’s uncertainty, she asked, “So, what’s your
plan? Are you going to get married or…?”
Hailey waved her off, saying, “I feel like his mom isn’t too pleased with me, and I don’t want to rush into
marriage either. So, I suggested postponing the wedding in front of his parents.”
Eleanor asked, “Did Yeager agree?”
Hailey nodded, replying, “He agreed. He said he’ll listen to me.”
Eleanor and Liana exchanged looks, unsure of how to judge the situation. Finally, Liana said, “It’s okay
to postpone. You guys haven’t been together for too long, and you don’t really know each other’s
character and qualities that well. There’s no rush to get married.”
If it weren’t for Yeager setting up Will, Liana might have thought he was a decent marriage prospect.
Now, she just hoped her matchmaking wouldn’t hurt Hailey.
Fortunately, after meeting Yeager’s parents, Hailey decided to postpone the wedding. Everything was
still manageable, but since they hadn’t broken up yet, how to investigate Yeager became an issue.
Chapter 1017
Liana didn’t dare to make the decision alone. She left the drugs Mr. Keith gave her with Eleanor and left
Fiord Roundabout under the guise of hospital business. She drove to the Lawrence Group to report to
Bernard.
After hearing Liana’s report in his office, Bernard calmly asked, “Did the people we sent out find
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanything?”
Liana shook her head, “The only solution right now is to grill Yeager and the coroner.”
Bernard fell silent for a few seconds, then said indifferently, “Then let’s wait a little longer.”
Once they break up, Bernard would definitely step in and have people arrest Yeager and the coroner.
For now, while they’re still together, Bernard could only play the waiting game.
He needed to consider Eleanor’s feelings, and on the other hand, he was afraid that taking action
would cause unnecessary trouble for Hailey. So, he decided to wait.
Understanding Bernard’s thoughts, Liana didn’t say much, just responded with an ‘okay‘ and left the
CEO’s office…
Eleanor just saw off Hailey when a car pulled up in front of her.
Then, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing a face that was extraordinarily refined and
stunningly beautiful.
