Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
He did not threaten Cora either, but the air was filled with invisible pressure.
Under the pressure, Cora didn’t say anything.
Byron saw that she didn’t speak for a long time and continued,
“I’ve checked it. There is no gossip about me today, and my mother likes you and even wants to accept you as her student. As for the woman who slapped you, she’s now in prison.”
As soon as he returned to New York from Kinton, Carter told him that there was no gossip about him these days.
There used to be much gossip about Byron in New York before.
When he showed up with Jane, the paparazzi would say that they would get married soon.
If Jane was not with him, they would say that their relationship had become worse.
Byron didn’t care about it before, so he didn’t take it seriously and let the paparazzi say whatever they wanted.
One day after he finalized his relationship with Cora, Cora pointed to the news on her phone and asked him angrily,
“If you want to be with Dr. Yoris, I won’t be with you.”
It was only then that Byron realized that gossip would make Cora jealous, so he asked Carter to take care of it. After that, no one in New York dared to make up anything about him and Jane.
After confirming that there was no gossip, Byron went back to the Hansen Mansion to see if Nora did something to make Cora want to leave.
Nora admitted that she felt Cora was not good enough for Byron before and played some tricks to get her to leave.
But the music played by Cora dispelled her thoughts.
Nora even said,
“As long as she is willing to learn from me, I will personally drive you there when you go to get your certificate tomorrow.”
Byron didn’t know anything else, but he knew that Nora was obsessed with the piano and had been looking for piano geniuses for the past few years.
That was why she went to different piano competitions at such an old age.
Unexpectedly, after searching for so long, Nora finally chose the girl Byron loved.
But before Byron could rejoice, Nora told him that Sara lost control of herself and slapped Cora at the music appreciation party that day.
So he asked someone to check where Sara was. When he learned that she was doing skin care in a high-end beauty salon, he asked someone to replace the person who gave her a massage.
Not long after he called the police, Sara, who was wrapped in a bath towel, and two disheveled young men were taken into a police car…
Cora did not expect that Byron would check so many things and put Sara in prison in such a short time.
Somewhere in her heart, she was deeply moved.
A long time ago, she saw a saying online that everything in the world was bitter. Only the one who loved you can help you out.
Byron treated Cora very well. He made whoever bullied Cora suffer bitterly, which showed that he loved her dearly.
This was something that even her father and brother never gave her.
She liked this feeling and wanted his help.
Byron leaned forward and put his arms around her waist.
“Stop making trouble, okay? If you make trouble, I can’t do anything.”
He lowered his voice and spoke slowly to please Cora.
He bowed his head and wanted to kiss her.
At that moment, Cora was about to fall for his charm again.
But she recalled the scene where Flora stood on the rooftop, begged her to break up with Byron hysterically, and almost fell off the building…
So she suddenly pushed Byron away.
Byron didn’t expect this and took several steps back.
After he regained balance, his face darkened.
“What else makes you dissatisfied with me?”
Cora’s pushing angered Byron.
“Nothing, but…”
Cora thought about it and decided not to mention Flora for fear that Byron would go to her.
Flora was in a bad condition now. If she was stimulated again, maybe she would try to kill herself on the rooftop again.
“But what?”
Byron started to approach Cora again.
“I realize that I still love Tyler.”
When Cora gritted her teeth and said this, she could see the change in
Byron’s eyes.
If eyes could kill, she should have been killed several times by now.
Byron approached step by step.
“Really? Then why do you stay with me every day?”
Cora felt that Byron wanted to strangle her, but she had to continue,
“He didn’t tell me his feelings before, but today he did so in the hospital.”
Seeing that Byron clenched his fists, she continued,
“We have common interests and hobbies, and we are evenly matched at work. When I am with him, we have a lot to talk about.”
“Can’t you talk with me?”
Byron’s eyes were still cold.
“I can, but you often make me feel pressure. I always compromise unconsciously. I feel I have lost myself…”
Cora said a lot about why she couldn’t be with Byron.
Byron never knew that a habitually cold face could also be a reason for breaking up.
He almost laughed when he heard this.
But he found that he couldn’t.
“Are you sure you won’t regret it?”
Byron put away all the expressions on his face and looked at Cora indifferently as if looking at a stranger.
Cora bit her lips and said in a low voice,
“Yes, I am. Well…
Actually, I said yes to Tyler.”
She knew what Byron was most concerned about, so she knew what to do to make him sick so that he would never come to her again.
“Okay! Good! I never knew that…”
Hearing this, Cora felt her heart sink.
But she couldn’t do anything. She could only watch Byron pick up the luggage she had packed for him.
Byron said,
“I hope you will never regret it.”
Then, he left.
The moment the door was slammed shut with a deafening sound. Cora’s tears slowly fell.
She wanted to keep Byron’s love, but her mother didn’t allow it…
After Byron left, Cora’s life went on.
But from the day he left, she seemed to never see the light again.
Even when the sun was shining brightly, the haze in her heart had never been dispelled.
Although she tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened when she returned to the empty house, the loneliness, helplessness, and despair were like a beast lurking in the dark that pounced on her and swallowed her.
At night, she kept her eyes open until dawn. She lost a lot of weight, and she was in poor condition.
But seeing her like this, Flora felt a lot more at ease and calmly accepted the arrangement of the second operation.
Upon hearing the news, Sally asked for leave from Erik and wanted to accompany Cora during Flora’s operation.
“Cora, don’t be afraid. This operation will go smoothly.”
When Flora threatened to jump off the building, Sally was doing community service somewhere else.
When she returned to the hospital, she learned that Flora was emotionally unstable and tried to commit suicide, which led to the postponement of the operation.
When Flora was not hospitalized with burns, she also often threatened to commit suicide.
So Sally thought that Flora’s emotional instability made it impossible to perform the operation as before.
“Sally, don’t worry about me. I’m fine.”
Cora didn’t want Sally to worry too much about her and smiled at her.
But her smile made Sally even more uncomfortable.
“If you were fine, would you be so thin?”
“I’ve been on a diet recently. It seems that I have made it.”
Cora smiled slightly.
“You have lost shape! What a lame excuse.”
Sally thought about it, gritted her teeth, and asked the question that she wanted to ask the most these days.
