However, Cora couldn’t be bothered to even look at Eason and busily asked Gabe,
“Gabe, is he not dead?”
She had a feeling that Gabe brought her to attend the Hansen family’s anniversary banquet for another reason.
“A while ago, someone claimed to have seen him at the Kinton branch of Sunda Group. But I’m not sure if the news is true or not…”
For the past four years, Gabe had been traveling around and doing business to revive the Lane Group.
He had made connections with many people in the business world.
So he had alternative means to gather information that others were unaware of.
For instance, he had heard rumors that Byron might still be alive,, and he had obtained this information through those means.
But because he couldn’t verify its authenticity, he didn’t dare to tell Cora. He was afraid of giving her hope and then disappointing her.
“Really?”
Cora felt her heart trembling.
When Gabe talked about these things, she couldn’t help but remember Nora’s excited expression from last night.
Combining these two points, an exciting thought popped up in her mind, making her tremble with excitement.
“Cora, I’ve only heard rumors and speculation. Don’t get too excited yet.”
Gabe was afraid that she would suffer another blow.
Cora nodded repeatedly, but her eyes couldn’t hide her joy and excitement.
Coincidentally at that moment, someone, Gabe had business dealings with, approached him and greeted him..
While Gabe was chatting with him, Cora caught a glimpse of a figure on the terrace.
Cora felt her heart fluttering like it was about to burst out of her throat and quickly walked toward the man.
“Cora, where are you going?”
Gabe saw her running around and wanted to catch up.
But Cora said,
“Gabe, I think I saw him. I’ll go and see first, and I’ll come back to find you later.”
Gabe could clearly perceive the excitement in Cora’s words, and he realized that it would indeed be untimely for him to follow her if that person was truly Byron.
So he could only let Cora go alone.
Cora chased after the familiar figure and went to the terrace.
In the air, she smelled the familiar scent of aftershave and tobacco, so familiar that it almost brought tears to her eyes.
But suddenly, she lost sight of him.
She frantically searched near the terrace, even lifting the nearby curtains, but still couldn’t find anyone.
“He was just here!”
If she hadn’t been tripped by a passing waiter and nearly fallen, she wouldn’t have lost sight of him.
“Where did he go?”
Cora was getting anxious, her voice trembling.
At that moment, Eason’s voice suddenly came from behind her.
“Cora, are you looking for me? I knew you wouldn’t be ignorant of what’s good for you!”
Eason even reached out to touch Cora’s waist.
In his eyes, since Cora took the initiative to come to him, she must want to be with him!
Thinking this way, he believed that if he got some advantages from her now, she probably wouldn’t mind.
But he never expected that in the instant he reached out to touch Cora, she gave him a shoulder throw!
Today, Harry.came to the banquet with Jane.
At this moment, the two of them stood not far away and happened to see Cora giving Eason a shoulder throw, their expressions different.
“I didn’t expect her to fight back so fiercely. She doesn’t hold back at all.”
From Harry’s words and demeanor, one could tell that he admired Cora.
Jane, on the other hand, felt unlucky to see Cora.
“Mr. Patton is currently very influential. She won’t have a good outcome.”
It had been four years, but every time Jane saw Cora, the sense of aggrieved from having her medical license revoked resurfaced.
“Eason won’t be able to enjoy his success for long.”
Harry, as always, didn’t think highly of Eason.
It wasn’t because he wasn’t surnamed Hansen but because he felt Eason’s vision was shallow, and he couldn’t afford to lose.
Even if the Hansen Group really ended up in his hands, he would surely ruin it quickly.
But Jane hoped that Eason would become more successful. Because the better he became, the worse
Cora, who had beaten him, would fare.
“How dare you hit me? Just wait, I will make you cry and beg me.”
Frustrated by his failed attempt at flirting, Eason cursed angrily.
But Cora didn’t even spare him another glance as she continued searching in another direction.
Meanwhile, in a dark corner not far away, a tall and elegant man concealed himself, watching the scene unfold without any change in his expression.
At that moment, Carler came to his side and said,
“Mr. Hansen, Sir Hansen is calling for you.”
“Okay.”
He withdrew his gaze, turned around, and walked away without showing any emotional fluctuations.
On the other side, Cora searched for a long time but couldn’t find the person and was dragged back to the banquet by Gabe.
“Cora, come here.”
“Gabe?”
“Sir Hansen is about to announce the new successor of the Hansen family.”
As Gabe spoke, Osborn had already started his speech on stage.
“Thank you all for attending the Hansen Group’s
90th??nniversary celebration banquet. Today, in addition to celebrating our Hansen Group’s 90th anniversary, I also want to pass the baton of the Hansen Group to our new successor.”
By the time Osborn said this, Eason had already prepared himself, ready to go on stage and receive the grand prize.
The surrounding people were practically bursting with anticipation, eager to be the first to congratulate him.
Only Cora was still looking around in confusion, hoping to find that person among the crowd.
“He is…
my youngest son, Byron!”
As Osborn’s words fell, a spotlight suddenly appeared on stage, shining on a corner…
The spotlight illuminated that corner, instantly revealing the slender and tall figure.
Dressed in black suit and black trousers, that man exuded his usual air of elegance and charm.
His presence seemed to bring with it a dark heavy??etal soundtrack.
Everyone felt excited and shocked.
“That is…
Mr. Hansen?!”
“Didn’t he die? I attended his funeral four years ago!”
“Why do I feel like I’m having a nightmare about Mr. Hansen!? He has been dead for four years. Please help me wake up from this damn nightmare!”
Everyone present was astonished by the appearance of this man.
Among them, Eason’s shock was the most evident.
Tonight, Eason believed that he would rise again and become the true leader of the Hansen Mansion.
He had even prepared a speech to become the new successor of the Hansen Group.
He also planned how to deal with the adoration and flattery of those insignificant people and even prepared how to taunt Cora in response to her pleading. He had meticulously designed everything.
But he never expected that the new successor announced by Osborn would be someone else!
To make matters worse, Byron, who had already been dead for four years, unexpectedly reappeared.
Osborn even once again named him the new successor of the Hansen Group!
“What…
What happened here?”
Eason’s face was filled with astonishment and panic.
In addition to struggling to accept Byron’s resurrection, he couldn’t accept the fact that Byron became the new successor of the Hansen Group instead of himself.
Jane’s expression was equally stunned. She screamed,
“Byron?”
Jane never thought she would see the man she had once loved deeply again.
