Mansion.
“Gabe, is this the anniversary banquet of the Hansen Group?”
Cora’s eyes flickered. She knew that Gabe had a dislike for the people in the Hansen family because of
Byron’s manipulation of the Lane Group’s stock back then.
Even after four years, Gabe still avoided cooperation with the people of the Hansen family.
But today, Gabe took the initiative to bring her to the Hansen family’s banquet, and it made Cora feel something wrong.
“Gabe, do you know something?”
She had a feeling that Gabe was signaling something to her.
However, Gabe didn’t answer Cora’s question directly.
“Cora, getting this invitation card was really difficult for me.”
But despite that, Cora felt as if Gabe was trying to convey an ortant message to her.
She felt as if her long??ead heart had suddenly come back to life. at that moment.
But before she could continue probing Gabe, a familiar male voice came from behind.
“Cora?”
When Cora looked back, she saw Eason.
She felt Eason had matured and became more stable compared to four years ago.
His clothing and appearance were the same as before, clad in all??lack attire.
Even his hairstyle…
Cora didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she had a constant feeling that the present Eason seemed to be replicating Byron’s appearance.
Not only his clothes, which were reminiscent of Byron’s preferred style and color, but even his hairstyle.
So, looking at his silhouette, Cora almost thought she was seeing Byron again.
But his voice shattered all the excitement in Cora’s heart.
ra, it’s really you.”
Eason barely concealed his joy at seeing Cora again. He even stepped forward briefly, intending to hold Cora’s hand.
Four years had passed.
He had been married to Mia for exactly four years.
However, during these four years, he regretted betraying Cora and being with Mia every moment.
Every day, faced with Mia’s increasingly plump figure and the noisy child at home, he felt extremely annoyed.
So, he had been avoiding going home for a long time, let alone sharing a bed with Mia.
And he felt that the more he couldn’t have something, the more he yearned for it. In these four years, every dream he had was filled with intimate moments with Cora.
He longed to rekindle his relationship with Cora.
Especially today, when he saw Cora wearing a golden sequined fishtail skirt, her captivating and graceful figure alluring, a greedy desire flickered in his eyes that he couldn’t conceal.
But when Cora saw him, she didn’t share the same joy. She simply greeted him casually,
“Mr. Patton, long time no see.”
Cora’s demeanor towards him was not only distant, but even her of addressing him made him distinctly perceive that she was attempting to create distance between the two of them.
This was not what Eason wanted to see.
So, he looked at Cora with a forced smile and said,
“Cora, it has indeed been a long time since we last met, but there’s no need to be so distant.”
Cora said in mockery,
“But we don’t know each other very well. After all, we are not close. If it weren’t for your constant reminders, we would have forgotten about your marriage for money.”
Eason’s expression contorted.
He now hated it when people mocked his marriage!
But he quickly adjusted his expression and continued,
“I will be getting a divorce soon. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am currently the CEO of the Hansen Group. And after tonight, it is highly likely that I will become the owner of the Hansen Group,”
Although Eason used the words
“highly likely,”
he spoke with a
Ever since Byron’s unexpected demise, under Lydia’s guidance, he had imitated Byron’s style of dressing and hairstyle.
Moreover, being close in age to Byron, every time he appeared before the Hansen elders from the
Hansen family, they seemingly saw Byron in him.
And so, by employing such tactics, he managed to gain many advantages from the Hansen elders.
And now, as the CEO of the Hansen Group, he stood above his other uncles.
He became the most successful man in all of New York, basking in the adulation of countless individuals. Women who wanted to be with him lined up one after another.
Moreover, once Osborn announced tonight that the Hansen Group would be handed over to him, he would replace Byron and become the ruler of the Hansen family, the uncrowned king of New York.
Initially, when he learned that Lydia had discovered the impending announcement regarding the ownership of the Hansen Group from the Hansen elders, he had no intention of making it public.
Instead, he planned to quietly astonish everyone.
But Cora’s indifferent attitude frustrated him.
That was why he brought it up, hoping that Cora would beg him to take her back!
Eason’s words furrowed Gabe’s brow.
No way, could it be that the person who would take over the Hansen Group, announced by the Hansen family tonight, was Eason?
Gabe was worried that if it was true, it would just get Cora’s hopes up for nothing.
Cora looked at Eason with a disgusted expression.
But it wasn’t because of Eason taking over the Hansen Group, but rather his low??ey attire that was strikingly similar to Byron’s, yet his personality was completely different, like a peacock.
And now, there were quite a few people around who heard what he just said and quickly came forward to congratulate and flatter him.
“I heard earlier that Sir Hansen was going to announce the future ownership of the Hansen Group tonight. I thought it was just someone trying to create a buzz. Mr. Patton, but since you said so, it must be true.”
“Mr. Patton, you are the most suitable candidate for the presidency.”
“Mr. Patton, please continue to support our family business in the future.”
Amidst a series of sycophantic voices, Eason gracefully dealt vith them, clinking glasses with everyone.
“That’s for sure.
“Thank you all. After the banquet, I will host another feast to entertain you all.”
After dealing with these people, Eason had a smug look on his face as he looked at Cora.
“Cora, from now on, New York will be mine. As long as you agree to come back to me, I will share this fortune with you.”
Eason felt that he had not only achieved success but also became a big shot revered by thousands of people.
Now that he still cared about Cora, giving her this almost ethereal promise. He thought Cora should be grateful and obediently submit to him.
But unexpectedly, Cora twitched her lips and said,
“I’m not a garbage dump.”
Eason’s face immediately turned fierce.
“Cora, don’t be ungrateful. You should know that with just a word from me, I can decide the future of your family!”
Eason felt like he was the ruler of New York now, holding everyone’s fate tightly in his hands.
Yet Cora dared to call him garbage, especially with such obvious disdain in her tone!
I felt if that was the case, then she should be prepared to sacrifice the Lane family.
Unexpectedly, Gabe, who had been quietly standing on the side, sneered at this moment,
“You? How dare you?”
His tone was full of disregard, and anyone could tell.
Gabe had been in the business world for the past few years. Although he couldn’t reach the level of
Byron, who single??andedly affected the country’s currency, he was at least steadily rising with the
Lane Group.
But ever since Eason became the CEO of the Hansen Group, the company had been on a downward spiral.
Several promising projects were either canceled by him or assigned to people from the Patton family.
As a result, the Hansen Group suffered significant damage.
That was why Gabe believed that the person taking over the Hansen Group, announced by Osborn tonight, would definitely not be Eason.
Eason felt mocked by the Lane siblings, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
“Fine, since you don’t believe me, let’s wait and see!”
This statement clearly indicated that tonight if he became the successor of the Hansen Group tonight, he would definitely ruin the Lane Group.
But Cora and Gabe still didn’t pay him any attention and started discussing their own matters.
Eason could only leave in anger, secretly planning how to make Cora cry and beg for his mercy once he became the ruler of New York!
