Chapter 18 His Favoritism

• Byron’s words made the people present look at Eason in surprise. Even Mia went to look for Eason in astonishment, and she noticed a red mark on Eason’s cheek. She looked closely, and she could vaguely see the palm prints. Coupled with Eason’s dodging gaze, it proved that Byron’s words were true. Even though Mia was pregnant, Eason wanted to regret the marriage just now, but Cora slapped him and stopped him. Mia had spent a lot of time preparing such a show, but it became ridiculous in this situation. Everyone around them looked at them jokingly. Some of them didn’t express much because of their relationships.
• However, some individuals began discussing it discreetly. “Mia is a wicked woman. After Eason and Cora confirmed their relationship back then, she frequently flirted with Eason and expressed her love for him.” “It takes two to tango. Eason is also responsible for Mia’s successful intervention. Now he is pretending to be an upright and good man.” “Before the Lane family went bankrupt, Lydia said that Cora was the only daughter-in-law she recognized. However, since the recent troubles that befell the Lane family, Lydia’s attitude toward Cora has changed greatly. With such a mother, will Eason be a good man?”
• Hearing those remarks, Eason and Mia were very embarrassed. Eason was embarrassed because he regretted his marriage and wanted to run away with his ex-girlfriend, but he was exposed. Mia was embarrassed because her poor play was exposed on the spot, and everyone knew that her relationship with Eason was not solid. Lydia was also embarrassed. She liked to show off, so today’s engagement banquet was held almost like a wedding, and she invented all the relatives, friends, and partners of the Patton family. Ultimately, her own son and future daughter-in-law brought her a sense of shame. The happiest person present was Sally. She went to Mia on the spot to show off her joy. She said, “Did you hear that? Cora doesn’t bother to do the same shameless thing as you. If she did, you would have been abandoned today.” In short, the result of Eason’s play of failing to chase back her ex-girlfriend made Sally satisfied. Only Cora was still staring blankly at Byron. Byron actually knew that. Was he also near that aisle just now? Why would he righteously help her clear her suspicion? How could he do something that even lovers who had been in love for several years couldn’t do? In fact, even Byron himself couldn’t figure out why.
