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 embarra*sed.
“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!

“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…”
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.”
