Chapter 3 His Help
"Cora, you b*tch!" Mia nearly shrieked.
Eason quickly stepped in, "I never said such a thing! If you are pissed don't take it out on Mia, it's not
her fault."
Eason also became defensive, but it was unknown if he was defending Mia or if he was simply
embarrassed.
"I didn't know you'd be so rude, and here I thought you were a proper lady!"
Lydia felt insulted as well, so she also spoke up. She was mocking Cora for being two faced.
Cora understood what Lydia meant, she quickly retorted back, "At least I'm not the one whoring out my
son for business benefit!"
Lydia was so angry that she stamped her feet. "What are you talking about? Mia and Eason are good
for each other!"
Cora gave a cold snort, "Yea right. Then why didn't Eason agree to go out with her back in college? No
one here is stupid, do I really need to spell it out?"
Mia was shaking with anger, she raised her hand to slap Cora.
But just then, a man's dignified voice came over. "Stop!"
When Cora looked up in shock, she saw that Byron was standing right behind her!
He was wearing a tailored black suit, and his height and legs were stunning.
At this time, the three others also saw Byron.
Especially Mia! She couldn't hide the amazement in her eyes.
"Byron, this girl is Eason's ex-girlfriend. She tried to borrow money from Eason. But seeing that they
couldn't get back together, she insulted us. What a terrible person!"
Lydia was the first to come back to her senses. The first thing she did was slander Cora.
Although Eason felt sorry for Cora, he had no intention of trying to stand up for Cora at all.
He thought that Cora was too arrogant, so it was good to let Byron teach her how to behave.
Cora had thought that Byron would take Lydia's side, they were family after all.
She was ready to face backlash from Byron, but to her surprise he said, "So that's an excuse to hit
Cora?"
This time, it wasn't just Cora who was stunned. Even Lydia and Eason looked at Byron in surprise.
They hadn't expected him to take her side!
...
Considering that Lydia was much older than Byron, it would be a little embarrassing for her to
apologize to her younger brother, so Eason could only take the initiative to speak up for his mother.
"Uncle, you're right. I'm sorry. Getting physical is never okay."
"I'm not the one you should apologize to."
The moment Byron's voice fell, Eason and Cora's expressions turned even uglier.
Did Byron mean that they should apologize to Cora?
Cora was a nobody now! It would be degrading to apologize to her, but then again… Byron was
standing right there.
When Eason and Lydia were hesitating over what to do, Cora spoke up first.
"There is no need to apologize, because I won't accept it. Let's take this opportunity to make everything
clear."
Eason and Cora locked eyes when Cora said this, "Eason, just like you wanted, our engagement is
over. Just so we're clear, the feeling is mutual."
There was a hint of indifference in her soft tone, which made Eason feel uneasy in his chest, as if he
really lost Cora forever.
"Cora, come on-" Eason reached out his hand instinctively.
But Cora didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence. She turned around and left the Patton
Mansion with her head held high.
Byron was glancing at Cora's back when Lydia's voice rang out. "Byron, don't let these irrelevant
people affect our mood. I've asked the chef to prepare..." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
But before she could finish, Byron said, "I have to be somewhere, let's talk later."
"But Bryon! The factory..." Lydia wanted to pull two of the Hansen family's production lines to the Patton
family to work on, so she called Byron over.
"We can table that discussion." Byron didn't hesitate. After saying that, he strode away.
Lydia could only curse under her breath.
"It's all that bitch's fault! If it weren't for her, I would've brought those two production lines over today."
However, Eason was still staring in the direction in which Cora had left, ignoring Lydia's curses.
As for Mia, she had forgotten about everything already since she laid eyes on Byron Hansen. She had
thought that Eason's appearance was already top notch, she did not expect his uncle to be even more
handsome.
She was still thinking about how good looking Byron was that she didn't hear a single word Lydia said.
After leaving the Patton family's home, Cora walked aimlessly on the street, thinking about where she
could find a large sum of money for her mother's treatment.
A tire screech pulled her out of her train of thought. To Cora's surprise, Byron Hasen's Rolls Royce
Phantom pulled up next to her.
He rolled down the window and looked at her, "get in the car."
