“Ms. Vulpe, Mr. Yeager”
Chapter 811
Chase approached them with a relaxed stride, offering a casual greeting before delving straight into the
matter at hand.
“Hello there, I’m Cedric’s lawyer, here to explore the possibility of resolving this situation privately, he
stated
Hailey and Yeager exchanged a knowing glance upon learning his profession, their determination
unyielding as they simultaneously declared. “We have no interest in
mediation”
Despite already involving the police, they remained resolute in pursuing charges against Cedric for
assault and sexual harassment. However, Chase remained unfazed by their refusal, flashing them a
confident grin
“I understand where you’re coming from, but let’s look at the facts. It was Mr. Yeager who initiated the
verbal altercation, and Cedric merely responded in kind,‘ Chase asserted, aiming to present a different
perspective

right to throw a punch? Yeager retorted, his lone growing heated.
Sensing Yeager’s rising agitation, Chase swiftly placed a calming hand on his shoulder, attempting to
diffuse the tension in the room.
“Easy there Let’s talk about the terms of the mediation first
Regardless of whether Yeager and Hailey were willing to listen, Chase just pulled over a chair and sat
down opposite them.
“Mr Yeager, I’ve looked at your medical report. Your injuries don’t even qualify as minor. Taking him to
court could be a bit tricky. How about this, we’ll cover all your medical expenses and compensate you
with an additional 100,000 for emotional damages. As for Cedric’s disrespectful behavior towards Ms.
Vulpe, he misunderstood the situation and lost his cool. I’m willing to compensate Ms. Vulpe with
500,000 on Cedric’s behalf How does that sound?”
If it were Hailey’s ex husband Austin Zimmer, he definitely would’ve agreed But sitting next to Hailey
now was Yeager
“We don’t need your money, and you can’t buy us off. We’re taking this to court. Let Cedric wait for his
summons!”
Seeing that the negotiation was going nowhere, Chase dropped his smile
“Mr. Yeager, do you really think your minor injures are enough to put Cedric behind bars?”
“They might not be, but I can make it happen Hailey said, her tone resolute.
“Ms. Vulpe,” Chase cut her off, “do you think it’s easy to win a sexual harassment case? Without
evidence, it can’t be confirmed as harassment. Plus, you and Cedric were in a relationship for three
years It could just be seen as a lovers‘ spat.”
These words deflated Hailey’s newfound courage.
That’s right, how could they possibly sue Cedric? He had kissed her and touched her in the hotel room.
The hotel Yeager had taken her to was high–end and valued their guests‘ privacy. There was no way
there was surveillance in the room.
Without evidence, there was no way they could sue him, and even if they did, it would probably just be
a formality.
The same went for Yeager’s injuries. Even the court–appointed medical examiner couldn’t confirm that
they were serious enough to warrant legal action
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’ve said my piece. You guys can do whatever you want next. But, just to be clear, if you decide to sue
him, I’ll be the one defending him.”
In other words, it’s unlikely that Cedric would have to go to court over this minor issue. This was just
sheer arrogance.
With that, Chase handed Hailey a business card and told her to contact him if she decided to take the
mediation
Then he just walked away.
Pausing and turning back, Chase locked his gaze on the silent pair before him.
“Ms. Vulpe, let me remind you once more of the weight on Cedric’s shoulders. If you genuinely care for
him, it’s advisable to consider mediation sooner” he cautioned.
Aware of the ethical boundaries as a lawyer, Chase couldn’t help but be influenced by his friendship
with the stubborn Cedric
“Mr. Chase, refrain from threatening Hailey I won’t back down, even if it means sacrificing everything
for my family, Yeager defiantly asserted.
Adjusting his gold–rimmed glasses, Chase shot him a meaningful look.
“Sult yourself,” Chase replied tersely, leaving the consequences of Yeager’s decision hanging in the air.
Questioning Yeager’s true intentions, Chase wondered if he genuinely desired to provoke a
confrontation with Cedric or if his words held a hint of jest.
