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.
