Chapter 1197

After Sigrid left, Bernard put down the pen in his hand, gracefully stood up, grabbed his coat, called for

the driver, and soon arrived at Quinlan’s house.

Just as Bernard stepped into the living room, out of nowhere, a plate flew towards him. Quick as a

whip, he dodged it.

The plate whizzed past him, smashing into the wall behind him with a loud crash, instantly shattering

into pieces….

Seeing the broken plate on the floor and the chaos in the living room, Bernard frowned slightly

He rarely visited Quinlan’s home, but in his memory, it was always spick and span

The place now looked nothing like the tidy home he remembered, it was more like a doghouse Quinlan

had thrown together in his backyard.

Seeing Bernard’s arrival, Latonia and Quinlan, who were in the middle of a fight with Cedric, quickly put

on poker faces.

“Bernard, what brings you here?”

Bernard gave Cedric a glance, his face filled with fury.

“Got some work stuff to discuss with Cedric.”

Latonia initially thought Bernard had been summoned by Cedric as backup. Hearing Bernard’s

explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting Bernard to get tangled up in their family

business.

“You guys go chat in the study. I’ll go make some coffee…”

Bernard nodded in agreement, then motioned for Cedric to follow him.

Cedric then followed Bernard into the study…

Shortly after, Latonia came knocking with coffee.

“Bernard, I wasn’t sure what you like, so I picked one based on Quinlan’s taste. Give it a try, if it’s not to

your liking. I can get you a different one.”

Latonia spoke with a courteous tone to the formidable Bernard, her voice as gentle as if she were

talking to her own son.

Though Bernard rarely ate out, faced with Latonia’s warmth, he took a sip of the coffee.

To him, the coffee tasted awful, but he nodded politely to Latonia, “The coffee’s good. Thanks.”

Seeing Bernard’s response, Latonia’s mood instantly brightened, “I’ll let you guys chat while I order

some food.”

Her own cooking might be hard to swallow, so ordering in from a restaurant would be a better idea.

With Bernard around, she went off to order the food, Cedric wouldn’t start something right now, after all,

he couldn’t make a scene in front of Bernard.

With that thought in mind, Latonia was about to leave when Bernard called out to her, “Can I talk to

you?”

She turned around, pointing at herself in surprise, “Me?”

Bernard looked indifferent, he lifted his head and gave a slight nod, “Yeah.”

Latonia looked at him, then at Cedric sitting nearby. It seemed Bernard was here to speak on Cedric’s

behalf.

She thought it over for a moment, then decided to sit down opposite them. She was curious as to how

Bernard would persuade her to apologize to Hailey.

As she sat down, Bernard turned his gaze to Cedric. With just one look, Cedric immediately got up,

leaving them some space.

After Cedric left the room, Bernard slowly turned to Latonia, “Latonia, you’re well aware that Hailey is

my wife’s sister, right?”

Latonia had assumed Bernard would try to persuade her gently. She was taken aback when his

opening line was a reprimand, her heart skipping a beat.

She tried to come up with an excuse, but Bernard cut her off, coldly stating, “You’re my uncle’s wife,

Hailey is my wife’s sister. You should know who’s more important to me, I shouldn’t have to remind you,

should I?”

Seeing Bernard’s harsh words, the mild expression Latonia had been maintaining suddenly turned

cold, “Bernard, if you’re going to speak like that, then you’re disrespecting your uncle.”

Bernard smiled slightly, his tone icy, “Latonia, you knew full well Hailey is my wife’s sister, but you still

sought her out to belittle her. Isn’t that also disrespecting me?”

His repetition of Hailey is my wife’s sister‘ instantly elevated Hailey’s status. This left Latonia, who had

been looking down on Hailey, feeling awkward.
