Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“Harry, weren’t you with Cora last night? Was it her…”
Jane didn’t finish her sentence, but the other two people present were all smart people, so they naturally knew that the Yoris family suspected Cora.
After all, Cora was Harry’s date last night, and Cora disappeared after Harry’s accident, which made people have to think about it.
When Byron was thinking about something with downcast eyes, Harry had already said,
“It can’t be her.
She left yesterday because she said she had a stomachache and sent me a WhatsApp message.”
In addition, Harry even felt that Cora was very sensible. Even if she found out that he had tricked her, she didn’t even argue with him.
How could such a sensible and well-behaved woman beat him up? Didn’t she want to keep staying in
New York?
“Okay…”
Jane was a little upset, and she always felt that Harry was defending Cora just now.
“Then what about the sack you said on your head? I’ll send it for fingerprint identification and check it with the guest list.”
Being knocked out in the toilet was a very embarrassing thing, so the Cross Group asked not to call the police or disclose it to the outside world, but the Yoris family still attached great importance to it, fearing that the Cross Group would be angry with them.
“It’s over there.”
Harry pointed to the underside of the cabinet in the ward, and there was indeed a sack.
“I’ll take it.”
Jane put on medical gloves, put the sack under the cabinet into a sealed bag, and stored it in her designer bag.
Byron didn’t show any expression, but when he saw the sack in Jane’s hand, his brows slightly raised…
Cora went upstairs to find Lisha, told her that Erik had asked her to go to his office, and took the elevator downstairs.
But before the elevator door closed, someone pushed the button outside, and it opened again.
Suddenly, Byron and Jane appeared at the other end of the elevator door.
The man was in black suit, black shirt, and black trousers, wearing black from inside to outside. The woman was in a white dress, white coat, and white bag, wearing white from inside to outside.
They were clearly two completely different extremes, but they were surprisingly harmonious when they stood together.
The sky was bright and clear today, but Cora felt inexplicably cold all over her body. She was so cold that she couldn’t move.
It was Jane who took the initiative to greet her,
“Hello, Dr. Lane.”
Cora nodded slightly but couldn’t make a sound, as if something stuck in her throat.
After Jane said hello, she entered the elevator room with Byron.
His innate strong aura made Cora unconsciously retreat to the corner of the elevator.
When the elevator was going down, Jane suddenly asked,
“Byron, are you going to the company now?”
She quietly looked at Byron, and seeing that Byron looked indifferent and hadn’t had any communication with Cora, she felt that she was too suspicious before.
“Yeah.”
Byron only stared at the floors displayed on the electronic screen, seemingly carelessly.
“Can you give me a ride? My car is taken to get serviced today.”
Jane said.
“Okay.”
Hearing Byron’s response, Jane was a little overjoyed.
But she didn’t know that the interaction between her and Byron was so hurtful in Cora’s eyes.
Fortunately, halfway down the elevator, the family member of a patient whom Cora had come into contact with before also entered the elevator, temporarily diverting Cora’s attention.
“Dr. Lane, this is my mother’s inspection report. Can you take a look at it for me?”
“Okay.”
Generally, Cora would not refuse these requests as a doctor.
“Her situation is okay, but the diet should be as low-salt and low-fat as possible.”
“Thank you, Dr. Lane. Well…”
After the guy thanked her, he suddenly blushed.
“Are you free tonight, Dr. Lane?”
Cora frowned slightly but did not answer.
At this time, the elevator door just opened, and Cora walked out.
The guy followed behind.
“Nothing serious. I have a few movie tickets. I thought it would be better not to waste them…”
As the two walked away, his voice could not be heard clearly.
So, they didn’t know whether Cora agreed or not.
But Jane still couldn’t help sighing,
“Dr. Lane seems to have good relationships with men.”
Only she knew how much envy, jealousy, and slander in this sentence.
But she didn’t know if Byron had listened because the man’s expression was always surprisingly indifferent, giving people the feeling of being too lazy to care about anyone else.
When he got in the car, he smoked more violently.
However, Jane didn’t think it had anything to do with Cora. In her impression, Byron was always smoking when he was with her.
Besides, Jane didn’t see the anklet on Cora’s ankle just now, so she wondered if Byron planned to wait until her birthday to give it to her.
After all, her birthday was only two months away!
Thinking of this, she was full of anticipation again.
However, what Jane didn’t know was that Byron appeared at the door of Cora’s apartment again that night.
At that time, Cora was waiting for food delivery.
Doorbell rang.
She thought it was food and opened the door directly.
But she saw Byron standing at the door, looking down at her condescendingly. Under the combination of light and shadow, his deep and handsome face seemed to be very gloomy.
“Mr. Hansen, you are lonely again, aren’t you? Do you need someone for entertainment?”
Cora thought of how he and Jane walked around together during the day, and the sarcasm on the corner of her lips could not be concealed.
“You are right. I’m lonely.”
Listening to her harsh words, Byron sized up Cora’s enchanting figure inch by inch, took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and then blew it towards Cora in one breath.
Cora didn’t see it coming and coughed.
After recovering, her eyes were inexplicably red and watery.
This delicate appearance made Byron suddenly remember every time he did her hard, and his deep eyes suddenly darkened a lot.
“Tell me the price.”
His voice was hoarse, like a hook, trying to drag Cora into the endless abyss.
Cora was stunned for a moment and only later realized what the man meant.
It was such an insult.
But after thinking about it, except for the first night when she took the initiative, this man promised her benefits every time they did it.
Perhaps in his heart, he had long regarded her as the woman selling her body for money.
Only she was still foolishly looking forward to such a ridiculous and worthless thing as love…
Her dignity was trampled on, and her expectations turned into despair. Cora’s eyes were red, but she still smiled coquettishly, looking at Byron.
“Then what kind of price can Mr. Hansen offer this time?”
Byron stared at the innocent and seductive face of the woman, feeling inexplicably agitated in his heart.
He snuffed out the cigarette butt and casually threw a paper bag in.
Cora looked over and saw the paper bag lying on the ground, revealing a corner of the sack inside.
“What does this mean? Do you want to pay me with a sack? Mr. Hansen, to trample on my self-
esteem, you don’t even care about your dignity, do you?”
Cora had restrained her heartache, and she had wiped off the tears in her eyes. She even stepped forward to fiddle with the diamond buttons on Byron’s shirt unintentionally, but her words were full of mockery.
Byron was about to laugh out of anger. He raised his hand to grab the woman’s evil hand on his neckline and pulled her a little closer.
“Harry was beaten with this sack over his head last night and passed out in the toilet.”
At this moment, there were only a few inches left on the lips of the two, and they could clearly smell each other’s breath during their breathing.
The distance between kissing and not kissing was actually more ambiguous than kissing.
Cora suddenly struggled to break free from Byron’s hand, and jokingly said,
“Because you got the same kind of sack last night, so you suspect me?”
“Is it not you?”
