Chapter 1212
Hertha had been slowly baiting Latonia into threatening her and now that she got what she wanted, she
couldn’t help but snicker.
“Mrs. Laurence, aren’t you afraid that threatening me might make Ms. Vulpe less inclined to marry
Cedric?”
“Whether she marries Cedric or not is none of my business. I’m doing this for my son.”
That answer only made Hertha happier.
“So, you’re threatening me because you think my family can’t stand against your rich and powerful
clan!”
“Since
you understand what I’m saying, just do as I say-”
After taking a deep breath, Hertha straightened up like she was facing her execution.
“Alright, if you want to hear me say it didn’t happen, then it didn’t happen.”
Getting what she wanted, Latonia let go of Hertha’s chin and gave her face a light pat.
“Save that for Ms. Vulpe.”
After she finished speaking, Latonia stood up, took the handkerchief from her bodyguard and elegantly

“Lock Hertha up and clean up her face. When her wounds have healed, bring her to see Ms. Vulpe.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Just as the bodyguard was taking Hertha away, Cedric entered the living room.
“Mom, where’s Hertha?”
With her back to Cedric, Latonia calmly threw the bloodstained handkerchief into the trash.
“I’ve taken care of it. In three days, she’ll come with us to tell Ms. Vulpe the truth.”
Hearing this, the always tense Cedric suddenly relaxed.
He knew that he couldn’t have done something like that, even if he was drunk.
Thank God he hadn’t done anything with Hertha, or he would never forgive himself!
Three days later, Hertha was taken to Hailey on a private plane.
At the moment, Hailey was still taking care of Garett, and she looked at Hertha in shock, who was
crying.
“Hailey, that night, after I took Cedric home and saw you come looking for him, I got jealous and staged
a drama. Actually…Cedric was already passed out, he knew nothing.”
“After I heard you come in, I immediately used the quilt to block your view. When I felt you didn’t leave,
I was afraid you’d rush over, sol pinched Cedric’s waist, that’s why he made a sound…”
After revealing the truth, Hertha looked up at Hailey with envy in her tear-filled eyes.
“I always thought I was Cedric’s first love, and I wanted to start over with him because of this. But I
didn’t expect he is in love with you. Seeing him tortured because of the misunderstanding I created, I
realized that no matter what I do, he won’t love me again…”
Hailey was back to her senses, she glanced at the crying Hertha and the innocent-looking Cedric.
When faced with these two, the memories of that night flooded back. Hailey’s memory was very clear,
but due to Hertha’s explanation, she couldn’t tell if what she saw was real, or if Hertha’s story was.
As she stayed silent, Cedric came to her and gently grabbed her shoulders.
When he touched her, Hailey subconsciously pushed his hand away.
That seemed to be the residual effect of that night, and Hertha’s explanation hadn’t erased it.
Cedric didn’t want to force her, he just let his arm hang in mid-air, keeping a safe distance.
“Hailey, please believe me, I didn’t sleep with her.”
That made Hailey hesitate.
“Cedric, I’ve said everything I need to say. I need to go now, I wish..
After saying that, Hertha turned around and left, but before she got into the

she looked back at the two of them.
In the empty hallway, Cedric looked at Hailey for a long time, then suddenly pulled out a diamond ring
and knelt in front of her.
“Hailey, I didn’t sleep with Hertha, and I have nothing to do with her now. My mom has agreed to our
relationship, will you accept my proposal?”
Hailey, in her caretaker uniform, was completely flustered when she saw Cedric proposing under these
circumstances.
“You shouldn’t be doing this in a hospital…”
She tried to help Cedric up, but he took the opportunity to grab her hand and put the diamond ring on
her finger.
“I promise you, I will quit all social drinking except for work. Even at company parties, I will insist on not
drinking.”
After making his promise, Cedric unlocked his phone and deleted the contacts of friends who often took
him out drinking in front of Hailey.
After doing all that, he looked up at Hailey, who looked very surprised.
“I promise you, I will quit my old life and will not have any contact with any woman.”
After saying that, Cedric grabbed Hailey’s hand tightly and asked sincerely again.
“Will you marry me?”
