Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Cora turned around in surprise while Tyler looked at her with eyes filled with affection.
“Are you happy with Byron?”
He wanted to say that Byron had a bad temper and was indifferent to others, so Cora must be having a hard time by his side.
But before he could say the rest, Cora firmly told him,
“Yes, I’m happy with him. He treats me very well.”
Even though being with him might come with hardships like today, she knew how well he treated her, so she was willing to make an effort for him.
Looking at the girl suddenly showing a sweet smile, Tyler fell silent.
Since Byron was even indifferent to his most familiar people, Tyler naturally thought he must treat Cora the same way, in which case everything required Cora’s understanding and accommodation.
However, it didn’t seem to be the case.
Perhaps Cora was special for Byron.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have proposed to her publicly, disregarding Jane and the Yoris family.
As they talked, the man next to the Koenigsegg had already walked toward them.
Although there was no expression on his handsome face, Cora could still sense his anger.
“I’ll get off here. Thank you for helping me today, Tyler.”
Cora waved goodbye to Tyler and then quickly got out of the car.
Seeing her hurry to get off, Tyler understood that she was afraid of displeasing Byron, so he quickly started the car and left.
However, as Cora smiled sweetly and reached out to hold Byron’s hand, he felt so painful…
On the other side, Byron responded indifferently to the girl’s hand she forcibly placed into his palm, asking,
“Why not invite him upstairs?”
“Then I’ll go invite him up. Don’t regret if we do something.”
Cora looked up at Byron and smiled charmingly, revealing her dimples.
As she said that, she even made a gesture as if she was going to call Tyler to park the car.
But the man pulled her back into his embrace, causing a sharp pain in her sprained ankle again.
“Ouch!”
Noticing the abnormality, Byron instantly showed concern in his eyes.
“What’s wrong?”
“I sprained my foot,”
Cora replied, trying to sound nonchalant.
Byron quickly squatted down to check her ankle, which was now wrapped in bandages.
He frowned and asked,
“What happened?”
“I sprained it while walking. Tyler happened to pass by and took me to the hospital,”
Cora explained.
Byron didn’t say anything else and simply carried her back home.
Back home, Cora didn’t just sit idle. She started reading books related to business tactics.
“Why are you reading these?”
Byron frowned when he saw her reading, feeling somewhat displeased.
“I’m learning something about business. Maybe it can help you in the future. Isn’t it good?”
Cora replied without even raising her head.
She didn’t tell Byron about the assessment because Nora had requested her not to.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Byron snatched the book from her hand, saying,
“Instead of reading these meaningless books, why not help me with something we can do right now?”
“What are you referring to?”
As Cora raised her head in confusion, Byron suddenly kissed her…
Afterward, Cora took two days off due to her injury.
However, the next afternoon, she received a phone call informing her that several photos of her interacting with different men had appeared on the hospital bulletin board, causing extremely negative effects on the hospital’s reputation, and she must immediately return to the hospital.
Reluctantly, Cora hobbled her way to the hospital conference room.
As she arrived, William and other hospital leaders and executives were all present.
The conference table was covered with photos torn from the bulletin board, many of which showed explicit content.
The faces in the photos indeed belonged to Cora, but the men were either blurred or only captured from the waist down.
Cora hadn’t expressed her opinion yet when William came over to her.
“What’s wrong with your foot?”
He asked.
“It’s sprained. Are you happy to see me like this?”
Cora retorted coldly, not believing for a second that
William was genuinely concerned about her.
“Why would I be happy that you’re injured? Do you think I’m the one who posted those photos?”
“It might not be you, but you could have asked someone else to do it, or perhaps Mrs. Sara Yoris asked someone to do it,”
Cora replied with icy words.
Then she looked up to meet the hostile gaze of the hospital leaders, who glanced at the salacious photos from time to time.
“These photos are doctored, and the person in the pictures is not me. Someone fabricated them to slander me,”
she stated, her gaze candid as always.
“How do you prove that these are doctored?”
The first to question her was Elwood.
“My figure is better than the one in the photos.”
She didn’t mean to prove her innocence from this perspective, but because there were no noticeable birthmarks on her body, it was hard to identify. And the person who handled the pictures had excellent skills, making it difficult to find any flaws. The only relatively straightforward difference was her figure.
“Talk is cheap!”
Elwood retorted.
“Do you want me to undress here to prove it?”
Cora’s voice was chilling, and even to herself, she couldn’t believe she could sound so cold.
“Given the situation, the hospital’s job is to investigate the authenticity of the photos, not to summon the innocent victim here to ask these irrelevant questions.”
Cora’s stern rebuttal silenced Elwood and the others. In fact, they were indeed curious about how curvaceous her body was since even Byron firmly left Jane, who he had been with for many years.
However, this was a public occasion, and if things escalated, they were afraid that Byron might retaliate and jeopardize their future standing in society.
“Dr. Lane, we only asked you to come here to cooperate with the investigation.”
William added,
“I admit that we do have personal grievances, but I promised not to make things difficult for your internship rotations, and this self-destructive act serves no purpose for me. I only hope you can let go of your biases and cooperate with the investigation so that we can resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
Cora smiled faintly.
“After all that you’ve said, I’ll still be suspended for investigation, won’t I?”
William admitted that he still had biases against Cora because of Sara and Jane.
But the utterly disappointed look on Cora’s face made his heart ache inexplicably.
Nevertheless, he avoided her gaze and said,
“For now, this is the only way to handle it. Otherwise, if those who saw the photos today crowd the emergency room to watch, the emergency room won’t be able to function properly.”
“I can understand accepting a suspension for investigation, but if the result proves my innocence, you must immediately reinstate my job. Otherwise, I’m not sure what I might do!”
Cora declared harshly before leaving.
William understood the implication of her words. If the investigation didn’t turn out in her favor, she might use the guarantee letter he signed and the illegal operations of Sara against him.
So, after returning home, he conveyed her words to Sara.
He also suspected that Sara might be behind those photos.
To his surprise, Sara showed great interest when she heard about what happened.
“Show me those photos.”
She hadn’t expected Evelyn to act so quickly.
“Here you are.”
William handed the photos from his briefcase to Sara and asked again,
“Are they really not from you?”
“No. I’m not stupid. She has evidence against us!”
Although Sara denied it, her face remained radiant.
Though she believed the photos were likely fabricated to ruin Cora’s reputation, just the thought of
