Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Apologize to Her ‘So this was what Mia was worried about?’ Cora thought.

She almost sneered. “You should save those warnings for yourself. I would never involve myself in other people’s relationships. Unlike you.”

While Cora’s statement held true, it only fueled Mia’s anger even more.

Mia immediately shifted the conversation to a personal attack.

“I did those things because I loved Eason so much. I believe that the deities don’t see them as wrong, and that’s why they brought Eason to me. On the contrary, your family must have committed sins intolerable to the heavens. So they died, got injured, got imprisoned; your entire family fell apart—”

“Shut up!” Cora exclaimed in anger, her eyes turning red.

This was a personal grudge between her and Mia. There was no reason for Mia to blame her innocent parents and brother.

But Mia persisted in rubbing salt into Cora’s wounds.

She couldn’t forgive Cora because even during her intimate moments with Eason last night, he called out Cora’s name.

“I must say, your family deserves everything they’re going through, especially your mother. She deserves to suffer severe burns and be confined to a sterile ward for the rest of her life.”

Losing control, Cora slapped Mia across the face.

With the resounding slap, Mia suddenly became teary-eyed and acted as if she had been wronged.

Enter title...

“Cora, I love Eason. So even if you hit me or humiliate me, I won’t leave him!”

As Cora wondered why Mia suddenly took this stance, she saw Eason rushing forward, pushing her away, and then embracing Mia, appearing distressed.

“Cora, I’m sorry for what I’ve done. But don’t blame Mia. She’s innocent!” Eason pleaded.

Cora managed to steady herself. When she looked up, she saw Mia hiding in Eason’s arms, smirking triumphantly at her.

“How is she innocent?! She is a homewrecker, and she just cursed my mother!”

“Eason, I’ve never cursed her mother. You know I won’t even harm an ant!” Mia quickly countered.

“Cora, I understand that you’re upset about our breakup, but you shouldn’t distort the truth because of it,” Eason admonished.

It was at that moment that Cora realized how disappointing Eason, the person she had loved for years, truly was.

He continued, “You embarrassed Mia at the restaurant owned by the Pope family yesterday. And now you’ve gone even further by slapping her. You’ve crossed the line. If you apologize to Mia right now, I can pretend that nothing happened.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for what’s to come.”

Cora retorted without hesitation, “You expect me to apologize to this bich? Dream on!”

“You...” Eason was furious, and he raised his hand.

At that moment, Cora believed she was about to be slapped and closed her eyes in despair.

However, after a tense pause, the anticipated slap never came. Instead, she heard Eason’s slightly panicked voice.

“Uncle!”
