“I have two chances to ask, so I can choose to ask you both of them.”
It turned out that he was specifically targeting Cora.
“Is it so difficult to answer? Well, I’ll make a compromise. Just tell us whether that person is here.”
“He’s here,”
Cora responded. A gust of wind blew her hair to obscure her expression and even her gaze.
Instantly, everyone turned to look at Eason with meaningful eyes.
Given that Cora and Eason had been together for so many years and even been near marriage, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that she had lost her virginity to him.
But Eason’s eyes turned red as he gazed at Cora.
She lost her virginity. Was that true?
Who was that man?
Carter?
Damn…
Jane also noticed that Eason’s expression was a little off and quickly looked at Byron.
Fortunately, Byron was still drinking nonchalantly, making no eye contact with Cora.
It seemed that he was not the man Cora lost her virginity to.
Thank goodness…
Noticing that the atmosphere had turned strange, Harry hurriedly continued the game.
This time, to liven things up, he decided to play a little trick.
The King was Bob, and according to Harry’s arrangement, he directly revealed his card and loudly announced,
“The one having the ace of spades and the one having the six of hearts, have a kiss!”
Soon, someone discovered that the six of hearts was in Cora’s hand.
“Cora has the six of hearts. You again, lucky girl! But where is the ace of spades?”
Just as Harry was about to flaunt his card, someone quickly swapped it, and then he witnessed Byron throwing the ace of spades onto the table with a sullen face…
“Mr. Hansen has the ace of spades.”
The crowd was excited and cheering just a moment ago, but now they were all puzzled.
“What should we do now?”
“Terrible…”
The game was supposed to be for entertainment, and they didn’t want any trouble, especially not with someone like Byron, who was known for his ruthlessness.
Some even suggested in a low voice,
“Should we call it off?”
It seemed impossible for Byron to kiss Cora and even more improbable for Cora to kiss him.
Moreover, Jane was also present…
However, this game was not their initiative, and they couldn’t make decisions on their own. All eyes turned to Harry for the final say.
Harry was feeling frustrated.
He had gone to great lengths to set up this round just to get a kiss from Cora.
But now, Byron had ruined his plan, and he felt anything but pleased.
Annoyed, he glanced at Byron and mocked,
“Why call it off? It’s just a kiss!”
Since Byron had interfered with his plan, he couldn’t let this go without retaliation.
As for Jane, she didn’t show any extreme reaction.
Though jealousy was burning within her, she couldn’t display it in front of others. That was the kind of demeanor she had learned to uphold in the elite circles she grew up in.
But the real reason for her composure was the belief that Byron would never touch Cora, especially now that he knew she was no longer intact.
Cora, on the other hand, was still looking at her card.
Her bangs draped down, obscuring her expression.
“What are you two waiting for? Continue with the process!”
Harry acted like he was just there to enjoy the show.
Byron and Cora remained indifferent as if they were spectators rather than participants.
Meanwhile, Eason suddenly placed his wine glass on the table, shook off Mia’s hand, and walked toward the game’s penalty, the powerful cocktail mixed with various alcohols.
“Let me take Cora’s penalty for her.”
Saying this, Eason picked up one of the glasses and prepared to drink.
The onlookers’ expressions became complicated, and some even started to whisper,
“Mr. Patton is sorry for Cora, right? But why did he get engaged to Mia so suddenly?”
“When I heard Mr. Patton suddenly got engaged to Mia, I thought that maybe after all these years, Mia has grown into a more attractive woman to successfully win his favor. But seeing her now, I realized it’s not the case. It’s just that Eason has accepted the fact.”
“With a stunning ex like Cora, I wonder how Mr. Patton can accept Mia. Is it because her ugly appearance is unique?”
Mia was not deaf, and these derogatory remarks made her face blush with embarrassment. She couldn’t help but try to persuade Eason.
“Eason, this is between Cora and Mr. Hansen. We shouldn’t get involved.”
But Eason pushed her away and replied in a chilling tone,
“It’s none of your business!”
Mia insisted,
“Why is it none of my business? You are my fianc?!”
If Eason did take the penalty for Cora in front of everyone, Mia felt she would never be able to hold her head high again.
“If you think my actions are embarrassing you, you can find someone else to be your fianc?.”
Eason had already consumed a fair amount of alcohol earlier when he was upset about Cora’s response about her virginity. Now, this stimulation made him blurt out what he had kept hidden in his heart.
“Eason, if you cared about her so much, you shouldn’t have come to approach me in the first place!”
Mia’s emotions were on the verge of collapse, and she couldn’t control her hysteria.
Their almost explosive state surprised everyone present.
Although they had encountered unexpected situations during the game before, they had never seen such a big commotion.
Even Harry began to hesitate about whether he should stop the game.
After all, Mia was the Donald family’s daughter.
If her engagement was ruined due to his game, he would definitely get scolded when he returned home.
Just as Harry was about to take action, Cora suddenly stood up and walked to Eason. She snatched the glass from his hand and said,
“I’ll take the punishment for myself. Mr. Patton, you don’t need to do these things for someone who is unfamiliar to you.”
“Cora, this alcohol is strong! It’s much more terrible than you imagined…”
With crimson eyes, Eason looked at her sincerely.
These playboys were accustomed to wild parties, and punishment of simple alcohol meant little to them. There must be something else in it.
Eason was concerned that Cora would be bullied by them after drinking it.
So, even if it meant breaking things off with Mia, he didn’t want Cora to drink this concoction.
However, Cora was unusually stubborn.
“This is not your concern, Mr. Patton.”
She was clearly drawing a line between Eason, as she was even unwilling to call him by his name.
Eason felt as if his heart was torn apart.
Cora raised the drink to her lips.
With all her attention on the drink, she planned to quickly return to her room and lock herself in after drinking it to avoid any further trouble.
She didn’t notice the commotion around her or the slightly surprised voice of Jane.
“Byron?”
Then, before Cora could react, the glass in front of her was suddenly taken away, and her lips were covered by another.
She caught a familiar scent of tobacco mixed with a hint of aftershave.
When she came back to her senses, the man’s lips had already left hers, but his eyes remained inscrutable.
The whole scene happened so fast that the others didn’t fully understand what had occurred.
“Mr. Hansen kissed Cora in front of Jane!”
“Which man doesn’t like beauties? Mr. Hansen is no exception. No need to make a big fuss about it.”
“But Mr. Hansen is Mr. Patton’s uncle…”
In short, except for the clear discontent in Jane’s and Eason’s eyes, the others were somewhat stunned.
“It’s just a game. Don’t make it a mess.”
With these cold words, Byron turned and left the deck.
As Cora looked at his retreating figure, her surprise had not yet dissipated.
