A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1011

Chapter 1011 

Her words were a bit subtle. Other young girls might not have caught her real meaning, but Hailey was different, “I don’t have any big secrets. I just want to settle down in A City. The cost of living here is sky–high. If you want to live here, you gotta have the dough. I don’t want to make money through power games, I just ear my keep through customer interaction. I want to buy an apartment. At first, I thought such a life was pretty sweet, but then I was bullied by those who have power and wealth. I don’t think a stable job can give me 

much.” 

Hailey’s words cleared up Janice’s misunderstanding that ‘she raised her social status through shady means‘. 

“I gotcha. Your story is kinda like mine. I worked my way up through studies and exams, finally settled down in a foreign university. Being a woman, it ain’t that easy, I feel you.” 

Janice didn’t show any noticeable distaste, but her words were dripping with a sense of superiority that made Hailey uncomfortable. Hailey looked at Yeager, who seemed to miss his mother’s point entirely, didn’t utter a peep for her, just kept serving her dishes. 

Hailey prodded the food on her plate with her fork but didn’t eat. Yeager noticed, “What’s up, don’t you like these dishes?” 

Hailey shook her head. Janice glanced at them, immediately called the waiter, handed the menu to Hailey after grabbing it, “Ms. Vulpe, if you don’t like the food, you don’t have to eat it. Order something you like. My husband has some savings abroad to cover this, don’t be shy.” 

Hearing this, Hailey glanced at the lady of the house, then at the silent middle–aged man, finally her gaze landed on Yeager. Seeing him nod at her, Hailey smiled, “Alright then, I’ll order a few more dishes.” 

Hailey picked two moderately priced dishes. Janice thought it was too cheap, so she added a few signature dishes and a bottle of Lafite red wine. Once the waiter left with the menu, Janice readjusted her beige long dress. 

Every stitch of the dress was handmade, Hailey noticed, but she didn’t bother about Janice showing off their wealth in front of her. 

Janice saw that Hailey didn’t try to please her, so she backed off, “Ms. Vulpe, this might make you uncomfortable, but you know my son. He has not really dated or been married, so I’m quite curious about your past. Could you share the reason you divorced your ex?” 

Hailey turned to Yeager, “Didn’t you tell your parents about this?” 

Yeager was about to answer, but Janice interrupted, “He did. After you two confirmed your relationship, Yeager told us. He didn’t go into details, though. I thought we could chat about it when we meet.” 

Hearing this, Hailey had no reason to doubt Yeager anymore. After hesitating for a moment, she openly said, “I divorced my ex–husband because he cheated on me. He had an affair with his sister. By the time I found out, their child was already nine months old.” 

Janice, startled by the news, exclaimed, “His biological sister?” 

Hailey shook her head, “They were adopted, not biological.” 

Janice asked, “Then…how did you find out?” 

Hailey replied, “His sister was hospitalized in my friend’s hospital. I happened to pass by and accidentally saw their behavior, I caught them red–handed.” 

Janice exclaimed, “That’s outrageous! How could they do such a thing in a hospital!” 

After saying this, she grabbed Hailey’s hand and asked, “What happened then?” 

Anyone else might not have pried further, but Janice obviously wanted to expose all her secrets without considering her feelings. 

Hailey glanced at Yeager again, hoping he would intervene and stop Janice from asking more, but Yeager was engrossed in his food. Helpless, Hailey had no choice but to share her legal battle with Austin Zimmer in detail.
