Chapter 2 Act Like a Lovable Girl
Byron didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Cora coldly. A hint of ridicule flashed across his eyes but his facial
expression quickly returned to normal.
They had sex less than twenty four hours ago, with the idea that they wouldn’t see each other again.
Cora knew why Byron looked at her with a hint of ridicule, he must think of her as a manipulative gold digger. She told
herself to not care about what he thought, but still, she felt bad somehow.
Lydia saw her too and spoke up first, “Byron, take a seat first. I’ll be right over after dealing with this.”
Lydia rushed over with a frown. She spoke quietly but one can tell her voice had a tone of anger, “Eason, why did you
bring her in here again?”
“Mom, the hospital is urging her to pay the fees. Cora really has no choice but to borrow money from me.”
Eason, on the other hand, honestly told Lydia what had happened.
“Borrow money? You are no longer engaged to Cora, she’s just using money as an excuse to pester you!”

Lydia’s eyes darted upstairs, clearly anxious about Cora being here.
“Hurry up and tell her to leave. Just looking at her makes me feel poor.”
Cora expected Lydia to be cold, but she didn’t expect Lydia to be straight out mean. Once upon a time, when her family
had money, Lydia treated her very well.
“Lydia, didn’t you say you always wished I was your daughter? Oh, so just because my family is bankrupt now, your whole
attitude is different?”
Cora’s fingers dug deep into her palms, but she still couldn’t control her temper and fought back.
Enter title…
In fact, she was well aware of the reason why the Patton family broke off the engagement.
However, Lydia’s 180 degrees attitude change still felt like a knife stab to the heart. Cora really thought once upon a time,
they were going to become family.
“Stop talking about the past. Your family’s bankrupt because your father is a horrdous businessman. He took the easy
way out and jumped off a bridge, your brother is in jail for financial fraud, your mother has gone crazy. You are a huge
liability!”
Lydia continued, “But Eason’s career is on the rise, and he needs someone who can help him.”
Cora resisted the urge to roll her eyes, “Lydia, I’m not here to get back together with Eason. I just want to borrow some
money.”
Before Lydia could respond, a voice came from upstairs, “Eason, who’s there?”
When Cora looked up and saw Mia, she was very confused. Cora knew Eason found someone else… she just didn’t think
it was going to be Mia from college.
