Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
After Tyler followed into the box, she kept wandering between Tyler and Cora curiously.
“Were you and Mr. Hansen together again, according to some clues on the Internet? Then what happened to you and Tyler?”
Especially tonight, Cora was led by Tyler to see them.
It was difficult for Sally not to think about their relationship.
“He went to visit Sir Yoris, Arnold Yoris, and we happened to run into each other.”
Sally was a little confused.
“Tyler was visiting Sir Yoris. How could he run into you? Don’t you hate the Yoris family very much, and the Yoris family also hate you?”
Jane was exposed by Cora as a fraud who harmed many cancer patients and was sentenced.
Sally didn’t think that the Yoris family would treat Cora well.
When Cora was about to answer, someone suddenly asked…
“Cora, tell us why you studied cardiac surgery but were able to cure cancer.”
Evie Warren asked this question.
Evie was in the same grade as Tyler.
At that time, there were relatively few girls in their grade, and Evie was pretty with good academic performance, so she was quite popular with boys at first.
But after Cora enrolled, all the attention that was previously on Evie went to Cora.
Cora was not only beautiful but also a lot younger than them. The key was that her learning ability was far superior to those of them.
After that, Evie disliked Cora.
Originally, at the class reunion, Evie had a good chat with other old classmates.
In addition, her life was good now. She had become the deputy director of the First Hospital, enjoying the pursuit of her old classmates.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cora appeared, everyone’s topic was Cora again.
Evie was extremely upset, so she spoke.
Cora didn’t expect to be asked these questions, thinking about how to answer.
But Evie didn’t wait for her to respond and said,
“Those who know how to control public opinion these days are popular. Even if they don’t have any skills, they can turn public opinion around through a few videos and portray themselves as experts supported by capital.”
Although she didn’t mention Cora’s name from the beginning to the end, it was aimed at Cora.
“Cora is not that kind of person. Don’t speak, Evie.”
“Isidra and her brother both show up in the live broadcast room before. Cora does have that ability.”
Other doctors, including Matt, persuaded Evie not to mess up the atmosphere of this rare reunion of old classmates.
But Evie was unhappy when hearing them praise Cora.
“Their appearance in the live broadcast room was unconvincing. They must have owed someone favors before, so they had to perjure themselves.”
Evie also said,
“Don’t you know that we have done experiments before? There are almost no drugs that can kill cancer cells. It’s okay for ordinary people to be deceived, but I didn’t expect you people to be deceived!”
“If someone wants to be a doctor, she might as well find me. As a deputy director, I can still give you a favor.”
There was a group of people on the Internet who always disagreed with the views of the public, creating a sense of superiority that
“everyone was a fool except me”.
Evie was such a person.
So ever since seeing Cora being praised in various ways, she had been waiting for the day when Cora fell.
Seeing Evie mocking Cora, Sally immediately rolled up her sleeves.
“Cora doesn’t need to lie. Evie, shut up your ignorant mouth. Otherwise, I will tear it apart.”
Fortunately, Cora grabbed her immediately. Otherwise, she would have rushed to her.
Tyler also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her,
“Evie, stop speaking!”
Originally, Evie wanted to say something, but as soon as Tyler opened her mouth, she didn’t say anything else.
Tyler invited everyone to toast together to celebrate this rare reunion after a long absence.
Hearing Tyler’s words, everyone didn’t mention the previous incident, and after drinking, they talked about other topics.
Only Sally whispered to Cora angrily,
“Stinky bitch, she got her position because of the backing of a senior executive in the First Hospital. Otherwise, it is impossible for the one who was unable to insert a urethral catheter!”
“Really? Which executive from the First Hospital does she rely on?”Sally only considered Cora’s question as ordinary gossip and told her a name…
B
She said,
“It’s Elwood, the one who used to have ill intentions toward you before.”
Cora remembered Elwood quite well.
In addition to his previous attempts to pursue her because of her attractive figure, he often insinuated that she could gain advantages by being with him. He also had helped Jane plot against her multiple times before.
However, Cora felt quite perplexed after listening to her. She then questioned,
“Wasn’t Elwood already married? I remember his wife already had two children with him.”
Sally explained,
“It was an affair. When I wa at the First Hospital before, I caught her and Elwood getting all lovey??ovey quite a few times. I don’t understand how she could stand that bald man touching her face.”
Upon hearing Sally’s description of the man, Cora laughed immediately, finding it amusing.
“Please, no laughing! That is the latest scoop I’ve got,”
Sally said as she playfully nudged Cora, then continued,
“And here’s something you surely don’t know. Did you know that Evie’s hatred towards you wasn’t only due to jealousy but also because of…
Tyler?”
Cora was momentarily baffled and asked,
“Evie had a crush on Tyler?”
“Yes, didn’t you pick up on it?”
Sally had always considered Cora somewhat slow in this regard, but as it turned out today, her intuition was spot on.
Cora didn’t connect the dots until Sally pointed them out. She then reevaluated Evie and Tyler’s interactions, realizing that Evie’s gaze was consistently fixed on Tyler throughout the gathering.
Sally exclaimed,
“You have to strike where it hurts the most! If only you and Tyler made it official now with the cross??upped wine, it would crush her hopes.”
Cora believed Sally was kidding and didn’t give it much thought.
However, it wasn’t until later during the game that Cora realized Sally hadn’t been joking with her.
As soon as Evie and the rest suggested playing the King Game, Sally enthusiastically roped Cora into participating.
She volunteered to be the game master, devising the penalty rules and handling the card shuffling.
After a few rounds, the king’s card landed precisely in her hands.
She also figured out Cora and Tyler’s cards and then intentionally chose them for the penalty, declaring,
“It’s a cup??rossing toast for the ace of spades and king of hearts!”
“Who’s got the ace of spades? And who’s holding the king of hearts?”
If Cora hadn’t seen how eagerly and joyfully Sally was flipping everyone’s cards now, she wouldn’t have thought this was a calculated move aimed at hitting where it hurts the most, just like Sally said.
“Alright, Cora is holding the ace of spades. Who got the king of hearts?”
one of them questioned.
Afterward, Matt, seated next to Tyler, leaned forward and excitedly raised Tyler’s hand, saying,
“Tyler’s got the king of hearts.”
Immediately after, someone began to prepare the drinks for Tyler and Cora.
The group of friends then erupted into lively cheers.
“Come on, let’s drink the crossed??up toast!”
one of them exclaimed.
“Whoa, a handsome guy and a gorgeous girl toasting together!”
added another friend.
“Wait, I’m going to take a photo and send it to Professor Smith, telling him that his two proud students have got together. He’ll surely be thrilled to fly over to join us.”
The atmosphere was filled with excitement, with almost everyone beaming with happiness, including Tyler, who had a wide grin.
However, Evie on the side was the opposite. Her face was as grim and sorrowful as if she had lost her husband.
“How about we change it? I’ll take a three??up penalty instead. Is that okay?”
Cora had no intention of striking a nerve with Evie.
After all, they didn’t have much interaction these days.
Evie might say something, but it would be at most for tonight.
If Cora brushed it off, she probably wouldn’t have many more opportunities for Evie to chatter about her in the future.
