Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“You’d better not play tricks under my nose, or I will make you die miserably.”
But Cora didn’t panic at all. Instead, she asked Sara with a smile,
“Are you afraid? Then why did you do that in the first place?”
“I can make up for what happened that day, and I can also apologize to you.”
Sara talked about compensation and apology, but her words did not imply an apology.
Deep down in her heart, she only wanted to get through this and then waited for an opportunity to dig up dirt on Cora. She would force Cora to leave Byron and make her suffer bitterly.
Cora was not stupid. She could tell that Sara did not sincerely apologize.
“Mrs. Sara Yoris, an apology and compensation are the most worthless things in this world.”
As soon as her words fell, Sara’s face darkened.
“You didn’t suffer much injury that day. Why are you so unreasonable?”
Sara was so furious that she wanted to raise her hand to slap Cora.
But Cora’s speed was faster. She grabbed Sara’s hand and slapped her.
“You bitch, how dare you slap me?”
Cora didn’t use much strength, but Sara felt extremely humiliated.
“Why not? Besides, I just defended myself!”
While Cora was speaking, she glanced at the man standing at the entrance of the garden.
It was Byron.
He was very tall, so even though there was a long distance, Cora could spot him at a glance.
Maybe it was because her gaze was too obvious. Byron also noticed her from a long distance away.
At that moment, he was socializing with several people with champagne in his hand, but his eyes fell on Cora.
Maybe his gaze made Cora want to test it, or maybe it was her desire to control violence with violence that caused her to slap Sara.
After her not-so-strong slap, she saw Byron frown.
This made her doubt that he was partial to Jane and her family. In the balance between her and Jane’s family, he always favored the latter.
But when she thought that he was about to come over and reprimand her for her crazy behavior, he stayed still and continued to socialize with those people.
It was as if he didn’t see Cora slap his future mother-in-law, or maybe he didn’t notice her.
When Cora was skeptical, Byron raised the champagne glass in his hand toward her. She even saw that he smiled at her.
This proved that he knew she was there and acquiesced in what she did to Sara, just like he promised before…
Cora felt excited.
“Now I feel that it was very kind of me not to kill you before!!”
Maybe Cora was pleased by Byron’s favor. At that moment, Sara’s vicious words didn’t seem so hard to accept.
“Mrs. Sara Yoris, I didn’t use much strength in that slap just now. You wanted to slap me first, so I had to do that to prevent you from hurting me. I can apologize to you or give you some compensation.”
But her words were disgusting to Sara.
“Who wants your apology and compensation? I must make you pay the price you deserve for what you did today.”
Sara shouted, but Cora laughed.
“It was a light slap, but you don’t want to accept my apology and compensation. You should understand why I didn’t accept your proposal before, right? You know, if those glasses were smashed harder that day, I might have been killed. What’s the use of your late apology and compensation at that time?”
Sara was embarrassed, staring at Cora as if she was about to skin her alive, like the poisonous queen in the fairy tale.
Looking at her like that, Cora knew that her mind was full of schemes against her.
Cora pursed her lower lip before speaking.
“Mrs. Sara Yoris, let’s reconcile.”
But Sara looked at Cora defensively.
“What trick are you trying to play?”
“I don’t intend to play any tricks, and I never want to fight you to the death. All I want is to live in peace.”
Under Sara’s puzzled gaze, Cora continued,
“This slap today cancels out how you hurt me before. As long as you don’t target me anymore, I won’t cause trouble.”
“You have to leave and never come here again.”
Cora had Flora’s blood in her body. Seeing her in the Yoris Mansion, Sara felt as if she had invaded her territory.
“I can’t. I sincerely want to learn from my master, and I don’t want to disappoint him.”
Although she had bad intentions at the beginning of her apprenticeship, after getting in touch with
Arnold, she liked this art and Arnold.
Even though Arnold favored Jane, the inexplicable sense of intimacy with him made Cora like him.
This was part of the reason why she was finally willing to reach a settlement with Sara, and the other part was of course…
Byron.
Byron had done what he had promised and put Cora in a great mood.
After Cora unilaterally ended the conversation with Sara, she was about to leave the party.
But before leaving, she purposely went to Byron’s side.
The two didn’t seem to make eye contact, but when Cora passed Byron, she scratched the palm of his hand on his thigh.
Byron, who was discussing something with a few important people, paused. When he glanced at Cora from the corner of his eyes, his lips curled up slightly. The smile was not strong, but it was real.
Cora smiled back. It was like she bumped into Byron by accident and apologized to him with a smile.
After that, she turned and left.
Many people didn’t notice it, but Sara had been staring at Cora’s back since the end of the conversation, so she noticed it.
Others thought that Cora had just bumped into Byron, but Sara saw clearly how Cora flirted with Byron.
“This bitch is more scheming than her mother!”
Sara muttered to herself.
If it was only Cora’s act, she wouldn’t be so afraid.
The problem was that she saw a smile on Byron’s face just now…
A seemingly unsmiling man like him actually allowed a woman to tease him secretly in public, and he still had a smile on his face.
This also proved indirectly that Cora now had an extraordinary status in his mind.
“I must let her go as soon as possible!”
Sara made a decision.
Otherwise, if the two continued to develop, even if Jane married Byron in the future, she might be treated coldly by Byron, just as Sara’s husband did to her.
But due to the evidence in Cora’s hands and Byron’s indulgence toward her, Sara, who was smart, naturally knew that it was not wise to confront Cora head-on.
So after thinking for a while, Sara took out her mobile phone and sent a short message: [Byron and
Cora are together.]
After sending the message, Sara glanced in the direction where Cora had just left and sneered,
“Bitch, you can’t fight with me.”
In the evening, Byron went to Cora’s apartment early and packed some lobsters for her in a well-known hotel.
While eating lobsters, Cora asked,
“Why are you treating me so well today?”
Byron pulled off his tie and glanced at her.
“Do I usually treat you badly?”
“Yes!”
If he treated her well, he wouldn’t be so indifferent to her in front of others, as if the person who had sex with her last night wasn’t him.
Today, she scratched his palm because she wanted to teach him a lesson secretly.
She didn’t expect that he seemed to like this kind of sneaky interaction very much.
When she left, he had a satisfied expression on his face.
He didn’t bother to defend himself, or he felt that this was the truth, so he changed the subject.
“I will go abroad at the end of this month and stay there for about a week or so.”
Cora nodded and continued to eat lobsters.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
When Cora turned her head to look at Byron, she saw Byron looking down at her.
Instead of his deep and unpredictable eyes, Cora liked his long fingers with distinct bone joints on his
Adam’s apple.
He should be planning to go to the bathroom to take a shower at this moment.
He had a severe cleanliness fetish. Unless he was impulsive and uncontrollable, he would touch her after taking a shower.
“What should I say?”
Cora was a bit uncertain.
