Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
But because Byron took the anklet and didn’t give it to her for a long time, Jane seemed a little absent-
minded for the rest of the auction.
When it was the turn of the items donated by the Donald family to appear one by one, Byron suddenly asked,
“Where’s Harry?”
Harry wasn’t interested in the other auction items, so it was understandable that he didn’t show up.
But the items from the Donald family were on the stage now, and he couldn’t be found in the entire hall, so something must be wrong.
“I don’t know. Did he leave with Dr. Lane first?”
Jane didn’t pay much attention to Harry, especially now that she was obsessed with the anklet in
Byron’s pocket, so she didn’t have the time to pay attention to these things.
Byron was still staring at the vase donated by the Donald family on display on the stage, and his deep eyes narrowed.
“Send someone to have a look.”
“Byron, Harry and Cora are both adults, so nothing will happen.”
Jane thought about the way Harry had hugged Cora on the dance floor before. She always felt that they should be having fun in a corner of the banquet hall right now.
Byron ignored her and was playing with the lighter in his hand, knocking on the armrest. Obviously, his patience was about to run out.
Seeing this, Carter immediately contacted the security team of the hotel and started to search every corner of the banquet hall.
Both of them were indeed adults, and nothing would happen, but someone was afraid that they would do what adults usually did.
A few minutes later, news came from the security team.
Carter reported,
“Something happened to Mr. Cross.”
“What?”
Jane’s expression changed.
Although the Donald family had many descendants, Harry was the orthodox and only recognized grandson of the Donald family.
Otherwise, why did the Donald family force him to inherit the family business when Harry made it clear that his mind was not on management?
If something happened to him at the charity auction held by the Yoris family, they would definitely be implicated even if it wasn’t done by the Yoris family.
Even if Harry was very close to her in private, it would be difficult to ignore it.
“What happened?”
Byron’s expression became much more serious.
“Mr. Cross was beaten by someone. When the security team found him, he was already knocked out in the toilet, with varying degrees of injuries on his face and body.”
Jane’s parents also received the news soon and immediately began to check surveillance, insisting that they would seek justice for Harry and the Donald family.
Byron didn’t intervene. After all, Harry’s matter happened at the Yoris family’s event, so it should be handled by them.
So, after getting the antique piece that his father asked for, he left.
Half an hour later, Byron came to Cora’s LO apartment.
He tried to unlock it with his fingerprint as usual but failed.
Obviously, Cora had deleted his fingerprint permission.
He could only ring the doorbell, and the door opened after a while.
“Are you mad?”
Cora had just taken a shower, and she was only wearing a nightdress. Her wet hair swept across her collarbone, causing Byron to swallow slightly and step forward a little to get close to
Cora.
“No.”
Cora wasn’t sure whether his eyes were too affectionate or his approach made her feel disgusted, so she simply turned her face.
“Did you delete my fingerprint permission and block me? Do you think I cheated on you like a playboy?”
Byron glanced at her with a faint smile.
Cora had a coquettish smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.
“Mr. Hansen, you are not a playboy.
You just want to give every girl a home…”
“Are you really not mad? You almost got the word playboy engraved on my face.”
Byron looked down at Cora from a high position.
He was very tall, and from his angle, he could just see the neckline of Cora’s suspender nightdress clearly.
Seeing that, he didn’t want to talk to her through the door again and was about to walk in.
Unexpectedly, Cora suddenly stuffed a sack of things into his arms as if she had predicted what he was going to do.
“How dare I engrave words on your face? Mr. Hansen, I just want to thank you for taking care of me during this time, but I will take good care of myself in the future, and I won’t bother you to worry about me.”
Before Byron could respond, Cora swiftly slammed the door behind her.
Byron frowned and looked at the sack in his hand. He opened it casually and found that all his valuable shirts and trousers were in it…
On the other side, after Cora rejected Byron, her heart was inexplicably empty, and she opened a bottle of beer.
She told herself,
“It’s not a big deal. A relationship always starts with being willing and ends with admitting defeat.”
She had survived after finishing the several-year relationship with Eason.
She had only been a few days with Byron, so it must be easy to move on.
But in the end, even if she got drunk, she still couldn’t fill the emptiness in her heart.
But the next morning, she still packed up and got busy in the emergency room.
“Where’s Lisha?”
Erik was arranging the work, but he didn’t see Lisha for a long time, so he asked.
“Mr. Gray, Lisha has gone upstairs to the VVIP ward area.”
Sally quickly answered.
“What is she doing there?”
“I heard that Mr. Donald from the Donald family was hospitalized last night, and she went to help.”
“He was just beaten by someone. The wounds were almost healed by themselves when he was sent here. She doesn’t need to be there.”
Erik was used to seeing serious injuries in the emergency room. As for injuries like this kind of inconspicuous soft tissue contusions, he didn’t care about it at all.
Lisha went to take care of the patient especially. It was so obvious what she really wanted to do.
“Go and call her back.”
Erik became impatient.
Sally happily accepted the order, like a villain holding sway.
Cora saw Sally very excited and couldn’t help saying a few words to her,
“Don’t fight against Lisha all day long. If you really have nothing to do, go to the men’s restroom to see if anyone needs help there.”
“I just can’t bear to see some people seducing men all the time.”
Lisha liked to hook up with rich people, and she tried to team up with Sally before because she felt that
Sally’s figure was more eye-catching, which could make the two of them stand out at once.
But Sally was not interested. She didn’t want to be misunderstood by others, and she said like a celebrity,
“I am a rich woman.”
In the end, she was laughed at by Lisha.
“What kind of rich man use Groupon? It’s fine to be poor, but why are you pretending?”
Sally was speechless on the spot.
The two also became deadly rivals.
When Sally finished complaining and was about to go upstairs, Erik shouted again,
“Sally, come and help!”
Therefore, Sally’s great plan failed.
“Cora, it’s up to you to save the world now. Go upstairs and bring that woman down.”
Cora sighed,
“Understood.”
At the same time, in the VVIP ward upstairs, Harry saw Byron and Jane entering the ward and hurriedly dismissed Lisha, who was peeling grapes for him.
He also changed from his suave appearance to a sickly one.
“Byron, Jane, I can hardly see people with this face now.”
“How is the investigation going?”
Byron frowned and looked at Harry’s bruised and swollen face. Although Harry’s injuries were not serious, they were mostly on his face, and he couldn’t see people for at least half of a month.
“That person is either very familiar with the route around the banquet hall or is among the guests. We have already begun to check the guest list for last night.”
Jane asked Harry again,
