A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 79

Cedric didn’t directly question Jason and Eleanor’s relationship, mally out of respect for his cousin who used to date Eleanor.

However, he couldn’t let Jason, who broke his promise, get away with it, so he vented his anger on Ms. Mallory’s issue.

Jason wasn’t upset by Cedric’s questioning, but a coldness flashed his eyes, “The marriage alliance was decided by my father on his own without my consent. I never thought of marrying your sister, Mr. Laurence, so please don’t take it seriously

Cedric’s face paled at this, and his handsome face instantly darkened, “Are you saying you want to cancel the engagement?”

Jason gave a light smile, “There was never an engagement, so no need to call it off.”

They merely discussed the marriage alliance, but nothing was finalized. And without the consent of both parties, how could it just happen?

In front of everyone, Jason’s words were indeed a bit embarrassing for the Laurence family.

Cedric usually had a laid–back personality, not as composed as Jason. Impulsively wanting to teach Jason a lesson, he rolled up his sleeves but was stopped by Bernard.

“Cedric.”

The man sat in his seat, with a calm and aloof appearance and an air of arrogance, leaving everyone present stunned.

No wonder he was the only heir of the Laurence family such a strong aura!

Bernard calmly looked at Jason, his voice emotionless as it echoed through the hall. “Your father came to the Laurence family requesting the marriage alliance. If you want to call it off, have your father do it the way he asked.”

With that, everyone understood.

It turned out that it was the Clowers family who wanted to get closer to the prestigious Laurence family.

They thought it was a mutual cooperation between the Laurence family and the Clowers family.

It seemed that the Clowers family, like them, also relied on children’s alliance marriages to secure their position.

Everyone sneered, apparently forgetting that their backgrounds and strength were no match for the Clowers Group.

Jason calmly accepted their disapproving gazes and agreed to Bernard’s proposal.

“Please rest assured, Mr. Laurence, I will make sure my father handles this matter properly.”

With that, he left to find Eleanor.

Watching his back, Cedric’s face paled with anger, “It’s better to call of the engagement anyway. Can’t my sister find a better

man?”

Derek, trying to please his most likely future son–in–law, hurriedly agreed, “Exactly, Mr. Laurence’s sister is so outstanding. It’s such a shame that Mr. Clowers didn’t want to marry her.”

Cedric coldly looked at him, “What’s it to you?”

Derek thought, “So rude, Jason would be a better choice.” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Through the floor–to–ceiling windows in the hall, Bernard saw Jason walking to the dining area, seemingly looking for someone.

After circling around the spot a few times, he picked up a call and headed toward the restroom.

Bernard frowned and interrupted Derek’s endless chatter, getting up and walking out.

Eleanor was hiding in the restroom looking at her phone when a geitle–looking girl stormed in, anger written on her face.

Upon seeing her, Brenda’s expression changed and said, “So it’s you?”

She had spotted Jason holding Eleanor’s hand entering the mansion while standing on the second– floor balcony earlier.

The pair looked very compatible, which infuriated Brenda.

Thankfully, her brother arranged for Eleanor to leave, creating an opportunity for herself to be alone with Jason.

She thought Eleanor had already left but didn’t expect her to be hiding in the restroom looking at her phone.

How strange, with so many outstanding young people to meet, why would she hide in the restroom?
