Chapter 26 Regret


    Chapter 26 Regret


    "Just for now! Once I leverage the Donald family''s power to secure a position in Hansen Group''s


    management, I''ll divorce Mia and marry you. I''ll make her leave with her baby," Eason exined


    eagerly, trying to hug Cora''s slender waist.


    Cora suddenly bent her knee and hit Eason hard in his belly. Writhing in pain, Eason looked up in


    shock, only to be met with the coldness radiating from Cora''s delicate face.


    "Eason, I used to think your obsession with money and power was just a bad influence from your


    mother, and deep down, you were still a good person. Now I know you''re a real bastard."


    "If you can sleep with Carter, why not with me? How am I any worse than him? He chose to be


    my uncle''s useless assistant just to avoid fighting for his own share of the property against the other


    Popes!" Eason retorted, still trying to justify himself.


    "I don''t care. You''re just a scumbag!" Cora seethed with anger, delivering another forceful blow to


    Eason''s groin.


    Eason was unaware that Cora''s mother had enrolled her in various programs as an attempt to


    discourage her from pursuing medicine. One of those was a closebat training program, which


    Cora had quickly mastered and put into practice.


    Eason never anticipated such ruthlessness. After being hit twice, he was in excruciating pain, beads of


    sweat forming on his forehead. He bent down in agony.


    Adding to Eason’s displeasure, Carter suddenly showed up and said to Cora, "Go to the lounge."


    Cora was surprised, as Carter''s message indicated Byron''s invitation. She didn''t want to face Byron


    right now, but she yearned to rid herself of Eason and put an end to this farce.


    "Okay," she nodded, "Let''s go."


    Cora briskly walked away, with Carter following her. Her decisive departure startled Eason, triggering


    his panic.


    Disregarding his pitiful state, he chased after Cora, blurting out, "Cora! I regret it. I will not get engaged!


    Don''t leave me!"


    Cora halted in her steps. Eason said he regretted it…


    This should have been a moment of joy for Cora, but she felt no excitement or happiness.


    Instead, an overwhelming sense of disgust and embarrassment engulfed her.


    With only a moment''s pause, she resumed her stride, moving away from Eason.


    However, Eason, having mustered the courage to voice his true feelings, refused to let Cora go with


    Carter.


    He caught up to her, tightly gripping her wrist. His voice grew hoarse, and his eyes welled with tears.


    "Cora, I''m calling off the engagement. I''ll ask Mia to get rid of her baby. I promise everything will return


    to how it was before. Please don''t leave me. I''m begging you!"


    Eason lowered his head, adopting a humble tone that revealed his deep fear of severing ties with Cora.


    Even Carter couldn''t help but give Eason another nce, believing it would be difficult for Cora not to


    be moved.


    However, to Carter''s surprise, Cora forcefully broke free from Eason''s grip and pped him across the


    face.


    "You''ve made your choice, Eason. You don''t deserve to say you regret it, nor should you let down


    another woman. It only diminishes my regard for you," Cora turned around and left without ncing

    back.


    Covering his stinging cheek, Eason remained bent over, embarrassed, and utterly lost.
