Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
If it weren’t for Byron’s death back then, Jane wouldn’t have agreed to marry Harry so easily.
But now, Byron came back and suddenly appeared.
Jane didn’t even know how to describe her current feelings. It was as if she was somewhat happy and yet also filled with sadness and despair.
“Didn’t he already…”
Harry also looked extremely shocked.
Regarding Byron’s death back then, after the initial shock and grief, Harry felt mostly relieved.
Without the pressure of someone like Byron, whose methods and abilities were far superior to his own, it would only be a matter of time before he took over all of New York and became the supreme present of New York.
So during these four years since Byron’s departure, Harry not only married Jane, who only had feelings for Byron before, but also intercepted numerous major projects of the Hansen Group through Eason.
And now, not only was his family blissful, but under his leadership, the Cross family and the Yoris family were also catching up with the pace of the Hansen family.
Harry believed that soon enough, the rankings of the four major families in New York would be rearranged.
But at this critical moment, Byron came back.
And Harry had a strong intuition that with Byron’s return, everything he had been working for would be changed.
Not just the rankings of the four major families in New York but also his family!..
Except for Osborn, who was Byron’s closest relative, Cora was the only one who really felt ecstatic and thrilled by Byron’s resurrection after four years.
At this moment, Cora was like a child, happily holding Gabe’s arm and exclaiming,
“Gabe, it’s really him!
“He’s not dead! He’s not dead…”
Cora danced with joy, but tears streamed down her face.
Since his death, Cora had never truly been happy.
For four whole years, her heart had been emptied without him.
Every day, Cora felt like an eternity as she yearned for their promised reunion in the afterlife.
Every time Cora saw someone resembling Byron, she would lose control. She even resorted to extreme self??arm to ease the pain in her heart.
Jerry consoled her, saying,
“He has transcended time and transformed into the most fundamental essence of the universe. Slowly, he will become a part of everything around you. The towering tree provides shelter from the wind and rain, the comforting sweater that keeps you warm. They are all him.
Despite losing his identity as your lover, he exists in every aspect of life.”
Although Cora was aware that Jerry couldn’t have come up with such poetic words himself and had likely copied them from the Internet, she still felt deeply grateful for everything he had done for her. His words restored her confidence in life and gave her strength to endure until the moment when her beloved stood before her once again.
But unlike Cora, who was ecstatic and overwhelmed, Gabe just raised an eyebrow as he looked at
Byron.
In fact, after these four years of wear and tear, his animosity oward Byron had mostly faded away.
At that moment, Gabe couldn’t truly say that he hated Byron anymore. He simply had a vague feeling that this man, unlike Cora, didn’t seem as eager for their reunion.
Byron was standing on the stage, and he had clearly heard Cora’s excited call, but he just cast a cold glance at Cora.
That almost emotionless gaze made Gabe get a bad feeling…
On the other side, Osborn invited Byron to come up and give a speech.
Byron did not decline. His demeanor remained remarkably calm, as if he considered everything to be expected or ordinary.
However, no one expected that as soon as he took the microphone, Eason suddenly spoke out from the audience.
“Who are you? Why are you impersonating my Uncle Byron? He’s been dead for four years.”
Eason had calmed down, but he still felt unwilling.
He had worked hard to control the Hansen Group for four years, finally, about to reap the rewards. How could he allow someone to steal his victory?
Lydia also spoke up at this moment,
“Dad, even if you miss Byron, you can’t just find someone to have plastic surgery to look like him and hand over our family’s business to him.”
I a had been standing below the stage, eagerly awaiting the moment when her son would completely take over the Hansen Group.
Unexpectedly, Byron was alive and standing in front of everyone, replacing her son and becoming the new successor of the Hansen Group.
Lydia was once extremely surprised and even felt that her years of hard work had been in vain.
But with her son’s questioning, she seemed to regain her confidence.
“No matter how much this person resembles Byron, he is not Byron after all. Even if you hand the company over to him, he won’t work as hard for the Hansen Group as Eason did.”
Lydia strongly believed that the person on stage was likely an imposter disguised as Byron through plastic surgery.
After all, four years ago, they all attended Byron’s funeral, and when they saw his body, it had turned into charcoal.
And in these four years, the reason why Eason was able to gain the trust of the Hansen elders and obtain absolute control over the Hansen Group was because Eason had been trying to imitate Byron.
In Lydia’s perspective, it was not out of the realm of possibility for Osborn, who deeply missed Byron, to have sought out someone and undergone plastic surgery to make them resemble on. Under the continuous questioning of Eason and Lydia, everyone’s eyes on the man on stage seemed to contain more doubt.
But facing the various gazes, Byron remained expressionless throughout.
He calmly asked with a sneer,
“Would working diligently for the Hansen Group mean subcontracting the projects to the Patton Group? Or joining forces with the Cross Group to divide the Hansen Group’s industries?”
Byron’s simple retort caused Lydia and Eason to change their expressions.
Lydia believed that only the real Byron would have the ability to accurately comprehend the deceitful actions they had carried out over the years upon his return. No one else could do that.
“After the banquet, we will settle this score.”
Byron ordered coldly without showing any emotions.
Now, Lydia and her son were no longer concerned about questioning. They only wanted to quickly hide the evidence of their wrongdoings.
After dealing with these two people, Byron held the microphone and gave his speech, saying,
“I am
Byron, and I have returned!”
That unrivaled and domineering presence surpassed everyone present.
With just one sentence, people in the room knew that he was the real Byron!
After the speech, Byron handed the microphone to the host.
e host immediately heated up the atmosphere and kicked off the Hansen Group’s 90th??nniversary celebration.
Osborn then took Byron away for a private conversation, and it was evident that Osborn cherished his youngest son more than ever, his face beaming with happiness.
Cora couldn’t wait to reunite with Byron.
However, Gabe held her back.
“Gabe, please don’t stop me. I’ve been yearning for this moment to reunite with him for the past four years.”
Cora was gazing in the direction where Byron was, her eyes filled with longing.
Watching Byron talk to Osborn and then leave with Carter, she grew anxious.
But Gabe held her hand tightly and said,
“Cora, I know you love him, and I don’t want to stand in the way of you being together again. All grudges disappeared when he handled the assassin for you.”
Cora felt relieved upon hearing this.
Yet Gabe asked her,
“But are you sure he wants to reconcile with you now?”
Cora’s eyes suddenly became confused, as she wasn’t sure.
She noticed that Byron’s gaze hadn’t actually settled on her, let alone the gentle and affectionate look he used to give her.
However, when she recalled what he had done for her in the past, her determination grew more assertive.
“If he doesn’t want to, I will keep chasing after him. I believe that one day he will come back to me.”
Gabe was originally worried about Cora being hurt, but seeing her so confident, he realized he had been overly concerned.
Then he let go of her hand, watching Cora running toward her lover.
Cora chased after Byron, trying to catch up with him.
She was almost there when she turned the corner and lost sight of him.
“What happened? He clearly turned this way.”
Cora anxiously looked around, and as she turned, she bumped into someone’s embrace.
Without looking up, just by the familiar scent in the air, she knew it was him.
“Darling!”
She hurriedly lifted her head to see the handsome face hidden in The dim light.
That was the face she had been thinking about day and night. Eagerly, she reached out to touch him, to feel his warmth, to confirm that this wasn’t just her imagination.
But Byron suddenly grabbed her hand with a grip so ?strong that she was momentarily overwhelmed.
“Darling?”
Her hand hurt, but she didn’t want to pull away.
She was afraid that resistance would make him angry again.
After all, they had just reunited, and she didn’t want any misunderstanding with him.
But even so, Byron coldly asked her,
“We’re divorced. Why are you still calling me darling?”
