NovelsFreeChapter 26 Leave In Tears.
Ignoring him, Corynn hurriedly made her escape, Elliot's sudden appearance sending a wave of unease washing
over her.
What the hell was Elliot doing here? Was he worried that she'd be mistreated?
She shook her head with a sneer, finding her far-fetched theory laughable.
Because she knew exactly what kind of person Elliot was. After all, she hadn't forgotten the pain he caused her
three years ago.
Once she found a quiet spot, Corynn took a moment to gather her bearings and pulled out a vial of eye drops
from her bag. With a sorrowful expression and red-rimmed eyes, she left the club “in tears.”
As expected, a journalist snapped a photo of her as soon as she ran out, like a predator that had been eagerly
anticipating its prey.
Every move she made was being watched- which was exactly what she wanted.
At the door to her house, she ran into Jason-or rather, it seemed like Jason had been waiting for her.

Seeing her red eyes and tear-streaked cheeks, Jason frowned in concern. “Corynn, you don’t have to face this
alone. | can help you...”
Corynn looked up at him with an inscrutable gaze, then suddenly erupted into laughter.
Jason was taken aback, bewildered by her unexpected reaction.
“Looks like even you were fooled!” Corynn teased with a grin, holding out the vial of eye drops for him to see. “I
wasn't crying or anything. My eyes are just red because of the eye drops.”
Mouth agape, Jason took the vial from her in a daze. The next moment, he too couldn't help but laugh, too.
“Looks like | was worried for nothing.”
“All eyes are onnow, so | had to pull this stunt to mislead them,” Corynn explained. Opening the door, she
gestured at Jason to follow her. “Con. Let's talk inside.”
Jason obediently followed her in. He had been closely monitoring the Harper Group's situation and knew that
things were getting worse by the day.
“So, how's your company doing now?” he asked in a seemingly casual fashion.
Corynn turned on the lights in the living room and closed the door before answering. “I've found the solution to
all our problems, but | didn’t tell anyone because I'm worried the Willis family will catch wind of it. Only my
family knows about this.”
“That's so good to hear.” Hearing this, Jason sighed in relief. “But if things go south, I'm going to step in and
help-whether you like it or not!”

“If it comes to that, | won't mind the extra hand,” Corynn said with a grin. “But for now, | want to handle this
by myself, okay?”
In her eyes, this obstacle was just another great opportunity for growth.
Still smiling, she grabbed a cold drink from the fridge and handed it to Jason, who accepted it gratefully.
“It’s a good chance to prove to everyone that even the Willis family can’t stop you,” Jason remarked in awe.
Corynn chuckled. “Damn, you must really believe inif you're not even going to askwhat my plan is.”
Now, it was Jason's turn to grin. “Corynn, I've always believed in you.”

The sincerity in his eyes was comforting, but not overwhelming.
Despite this, Corynn looked away and quickly changed the subject, feeling a bit flustered under his expectant
gaze. “The Willis family thought we’d be done for if they cut off our supply chain, but | ended up buying a
company that specializes in securing raw materials. Now that we have a solid supplier, we can meet all our
deliverables. The Willis family’s plan to ruin us will fail.”
Jason nodded approvingly. “Sounds like a solid plan.”
Back at the club, Kaden entered the private room, only to find a lone Elliot pouring himself a glass of whiskey,
“Mr. Andrews, Miss Harper left in tears,” he reported in a low voice.
Elliot’s hand paused mid-pour.
After a moment, he responded with a simple, “I see.”
Kaden was baffled. Earlier, Elliot had seemed deeply concerned when he learned that Corynn was soliciting help
at the club-and it was extremely rare for him to display such emotion.
Yet now, upon hearing that Corynn had left upset, he was completely indifferent.
