Chapter 1215

Hailey stepped out of the elevator and just as she rounded the comer through the lobby, she saw Hertha, slowing her stride.

Upon seeing her, Hertha removed her sunglasses and approached Hailey again.

“Ms. Vulpe, there are some truths you should know about. Let’s find a place where I can fill you in,” she said.

Faced with Hertha’s round two of truth-telling, Hailey found her untrustworthy.

“I don’t have the time, and I’m not interested in your so-called truth.”

Attempting to sidestep Hertha, she made to leave, but Hertha stopped her in her tracks.

“Hailey, if you’re hell-bent on marrying Cedric without a second thought, then be my guest,” she said, pulling out a voice recorder. “But you should know the truth.”

She thrust the recorder into Hailey’s hand.

“This is proof of what I was forced to explain after Latonia threatened me.”

The cold recorder in her hand sent a chill up her spine.

“So you’re saying your previous explanation was coerced by his mother?”

“Yes,” Hertha answered, expressionless, nodding her head. “If I hadn’t complied, I would have been attacked and my parents would have been hurt.”

To prove her point, Hertha lifted her shirt, grabbed Hailey’s hand, and placed it on her own ribs.
