Chapter 250 Incomparable
“Are you back with him again?”
Lucas’ eyes were bloodshot, his anger flaring as he watched. Byron pull Cora into his arms.
Without waiting for Cora to answer, he raised his voice again.
“Is that why you won’t forgive me?”
Cora had originally wanted to wrench herself free and explain
the situation so as to clear up any misunderstandings.
However, seeing Lucas’ reaction, she decided to change her
approach. “At least my time with him was not as embarrassing as my time spent with you!”
Lucas felt that she was indirectly admitting that she had
returned to Byron’s side. “Haven’t you always insisted that
you weren’t the third party? What’s the point of repeating the
same mistakes with him?”
Byron was feeling quite pleased because Cora didn’t deny their relationship in front of Lucas.
However, his good mood dissipated upon hearing Lucas’
words, and he had a sudden urge to punch Lucas in the face.

At that moment, Cora spoke, “It’s better to repeat the same
mistakes with him than to be with you. At least he won’t let
other women humiliate me!”

Cora thought that Byron had done perfectly in that regard.
“I didn’t mean to ignore the scene. I just…”
Lucas was in a panic, knowing that Cora was referring to
his lackluster performance when Chloe forced her to write onstage, whereas Byron had reprimanded Chloe despite
Jane’s presence.
He had reflected on it afterward, but even if he had the
chance to do it all over again, he wouldn’t be able to
reprimand Chloe as fiercely as Byron did, because the Quinn
family and the Hurst family were deeply entwined and shared
many of the same interests. Moreover, his mother was the
president of the Calligraphy Association. Any insult to Chloe,
the vice president, would be an indirect insult to his mother.
Cora pointed out the obvious when she noticed that Lucas
was flustered and struggling with his words.
“You just couldn’t afford to humiliate Chloe, which would risk
breaking the relationship between your families. Moreover,
you couldn’t tarnish the reputation of the Calligraphy
Association that your mother runs.”

Lucas couldn’t argue because Cora had hit the nail on the
head.

“That’s why I feel that you’re not as good as him.” Cora wore a
smile.
Lucas had to admit that Cora was right because he prioritized family interests and his mother’s reputation over his
relationship with Cora, making it clear that he couldn’t give.
her what she deserved.
He even wanted to ask Byron why he didn’t stay with her when he could put Cora above all other concerns.
But in the end, he couldn’t bring himself to ask the question,
the sight of Byron’s hand on Cora’s shoulder agonizing to him.
He turned and left in his dejection.
It was the first time Byron had heard Cora speak about his
merits in front of his rival, which was quite a novel experience.
He even considered staying to discuss his other strengths
with Cora, only to come face to face with her angry stare the
moment he turned around.
“Enjoy your food. I’ll be taking my leave.”

He had a feeling that what Cora was about to tell him might be even more cutting than what she said to Lucas, so he decided it would be optimal to flee the scene.
Since Byron hurried away, Cora assumed he had taken her words to heart and would avoid any further interaction with
her.
To her surprise, Byron showed up too when Cora visited Flora during her lunch break the next day.
At that time, Flora was telling Cora about the next candidate
she found for her.
“This time, the man is absolutely single, and he works in a state-owned enterprise!” Flora sounded convinced as if Cora would be missing out if she didn’t meet with the man.
“Mom, I really don’t feel like doing this right now. Can you please stop arranging for me to meet with other men?”
“Why aren’t you in the mood? I gave you a few days off. Now
that the holidays are over, it’s time to continue with these
dates.”
As Flora tried to persuade Cora, a familiar male voice
interrupted them. “Mrs. Flora Lane, you don’t need to arrange
these for her.”
When’s the next chapters coming out? Ugh I love this book so far! Soooo good!
