    Chapter 273 Reckless Gamble


    In the dim corner, Cora was tightly embraced from behind, and a low, familiar male voice sounded in


    her ear. "Cora,e back to me, okay?"


    But instead of responding to his supposed affection, Cora struggled forcefully and pped him in the


    face.


    "Bted affection means nothing. I don''t need it!"


    However, it was evident that this p wasn''t enough to awaken someone who pretended to y dumb.


    Eason asked stubbornly, "But what can you gain by being with Byron? He can''t even be a part of the


    Hansen family''s management now."


    "Yeah, even though he may have nothing, at least I won''t be alone whenever I encounter difficulties,"


    Cora replied.


    Even when they were separated, he would still help her out.


    That was why Cora put down all her defenses and fell for him again.


    "I admit that I didn''t treat you well enough before, which made you sad. But Cora, I don''t want to see


    you hurt again," Eason said, his heart burning with anger whenever he thought about Cora being held


    by Byron in front of everyone at the banquet just now.


    "As long as you promise toe back to me, I can let go of any grudges against you. I''ll work hard to


    earn money to help rebuild the Lane family," Eason pleaded.


    "You can let go those grudges? I can''t. I can earn money on my own, and I can rebuild the Lane family


    without you. Don''t make me sick!"


    With that, she turned around, wanting to go back to Byron''s side as soon as possible.


    Eason disgusted her so much that she needed Byron to wash away her nasty feelings.


    Seeing Cora leave without mercy, Eason''s sense of bitterness reached its peak.


    "You will regret it. Byron not only lost the management rights, but I heard from several uncles that they


    fear he will retaliate against the Hansen Group, so they are uniting to suppress him. Even if he starts a


    new venture, it will be very difficult. Apanying him in this reckless gamble with your youth will only


    end in a devastating loss!"


    In order to get a share of the pie, the Patton family had also joined the n to suppress Byron''s new


    business venture, and that was how Eason knew about it.


    He explicitly told Cora all of this, hoping she would be his woman again.


    However, Cora paused and turned around with a smile. "I won''t regret it. I''ve alreadymitted to


    apany him in this reckless gamble. If we win, I''ll stand by his side as we rule the world. If we lose,


    I''ll apany him in rising again!"


    Cora smiled like a blooming summer flower, radiantly beautiful.


    But Eason knew that her smile wasn''t for him. It was for the man she was willing to gamble everything


    with.


    She loved Byron so determinedly and would never admit defeat no matter what. Such a fire-like


    rtionship once belonged to Eason, but now it belonged to someone else.


    Eason watched as Cora walk away resolutely, ovee with regret.


    Unfortunately, in this world, there is no remedy for regret...


    As Cora returned to the banquet venue, she realized that apart from those so-called friends who


    ignored Byron, there were also some acquaintances who liked to challenge his patience.


    For instance, there was Wesley Ashton, a property developer who approached Byron after drinking a


    few sses of wine.


    "Byron, why are you here? Shouldn''t you be taking care of your father in the hospital?"


    Cora had seen Wesley groveling before Byron several times during the period when she was close to


    Byron.


    Every time they had dinner, he practically knelt down to pour wine for Byron and spoke to him in a


    gentle voice. Even though he could almost be Byron''s father in terms of age, he still referred to him as


    "Mr. Hansen".


    Even when Cora asionally apanied Byron to those dinner parties, Wesley didn''t dare to look at


    her, fearing that he would offend Byron.


    But now?

    Wesley called Byron by his first name and even boldly gazed at Cora''s cor.


    "My father has almost recovered," Byron initially responded with some patience.


    However, when he noticed that Wesley''s gaze was about to stick to Cora''s neckline, he warned, "If you


    don''t want to end up lying in the hospital, get lost."
