A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 79

Cedric didn't directly question Jason and Eleanor's relationship, mainly 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 in 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.
