Cora said, without flattery, her smile natural and relaxed.
Isidra immediately hugged Cora, saying,
“Happy Birthday, Dr. Lane.”
“Thank you for coming. I hope you’re feeling better.”
“I’m fine. But I’m just overeating and gaining weight too quickly.”
“That’s good. It shows your body is recovering well.”
While Isidra was talking to Cora, she couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Byron.
She saw him looking intently at Cora as if she was the apple of his eye, his precious gem.
Isidra suddenly realized that Byron was very different from when she met him in Leucrest Town Especially how he looked at Cora made Isidra’s heart beat faster…
.
After Vaughn greeted Byron, his gaze fell on the bandage on Cora’s cheek. His brows furrowed.
“What happened?”
Though he hadn’t been around many women, he knew they cared about their appearances.
Like Isidra, who would get anxious at seeing a small pimple.The area of the bandage on Cora’s face was not small. The wound must have been serious.
“It’s just an accident and a minor injury. It has almost healed.”
Cora’s answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and her smile was always polite and distant.
Compared to those women who played the victim to arouse sympathy, Cora gave Vaughn a much better impression.
“Dr. Lane, if you need any help in the future, feel free to ask. You saved Isidra’s life. You’re a benefactor to the Wolf family. We owe you this debt of gratitude.”
It’s alright Everything has been resolved. Moreover, I treated Isidra by chance. So, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Most people would have loved to empty the Wolf family’s coffers to repay her kindness But Cora didn’t seem to care about that. Vaughn was even more impressed by her broad??indedness and carefreeness He even made a silent decision in his heart that he would be friends with Cora Moreover, he considered finding her the best scar removal product when he returned.
Cora’s face was so beautiful. It was a pity to see it scarred.
After chatting for a while, they went inside to chat more and eat cake.
But while Byron was feeding cake to Martin, he noticed that Vaughn’s gaze was always involuntarily following Cora…
Byron’s brow furrowed ever so slightly.
At this moment, Isidra approached with a glass of wine.
“Mr. Hansen, our last encounter in Leucrest Town was unpleasant. Let’s drink this wine and forget about the bad memories.”
“I don’t recall meeting you in Leucrest Town. I don’t remember any unpleasantness. So, I’ll pass on the wine.”
Byron was already upset with Vaughn’s excessive attention to Cora, Isidra’s unexpected approach did not improve his mood.
Besides, he genuinely didn’t recall meeting Isidra in Leucrest Town.
That day, he was upset because Cora and Jerry seemed too close. He had had a lot to drink and only vaguely remembered women chatting around him. He had no memory of who they were.
So, he saw no need to drink to forget what he did not recall in the first place.
“Aren’t you afraid of upsetting Dr. Lane by refusing me?”
Isidra had always been the darling of the Wolf family, well??rotected by them.
In her eyes, everyone should behave as she wished.
Even though Vaughn had previously emphasized that Byron was not ordinary, she didn’t care.To her, besides being handsome and rich, with a bit of a bad temper, he wasn’t that special.
Why wouldn’t he act as she wished?
“Make her upset, and I’ll make Vaughn upset.”
Byron didn’t even lift his head, uninterested in engaging with someone immature.
“Do you think Vaughn is weak? That he can be easily manipulated?”
Isidra didn’t believe Byron could do this. In her eyes, Vaughn was an untouchable figure domestically, unbeatable by anyone.
“I heard he’s trying to overthrow the Mcbride family. How about I help the Mcbrides and knock Vaughn down a peg?”
Upon hearing Byron’s words, astonishment filled Isidra’s eyes.
She had heard about Vaughn’s plans to topple the Mcbride family from the elders’ conversation.
This was a matter few in Kinton knew about.
Yet Byron in New York knew about it. How?
Not waiting for Isidra’s response, Byron gave her a cold warning.
“Stop bothering me. I know more than you think.”
Then, he took Martin to find Cora.Isidra felt humiliated again, fuming inside.
So when they returned, she told Vaughn,
“Vaughn, find some excuse to bankrupt the Hansen family.”
Vaughn frowned.
“What’s wrong with you now? Dr. Lane saved your life, not to let you torment hers.”
“This has nothing to do with Dr. Lane. I just can’t stand someone acting so arrogant.”
Isidra gritted her teeth.
She had twice acted in Byron’s favor. Not only did he not appreciate her actions, but he also threatened her.
She decided she wouldn’t tolerate such a person anymore.
Seeing Leidra’s attitude, Vaughan guessed who she was referring to
“Dr. Lane will remarry Mr. Hansen soon. If you bankrupt the Hansen family now, her and Martin’s lives will be messy”
Vaughn comforted her.
“Dr. Lane healed you under unimaginable pressure. Don’t dishearten the good.”
Seeing Isidra’s dissatisfaction, Vaughn added,
“Besides, the Hansen Group won’t go bankrupt just because you want it to The Hansen family controls New York’s economic lifeline. Byron’s businesses are scattered throughout the country. If you want to fight him, be prepared for mutual destruction…”
“Dad, don’t hit me anymore. I really didn’t mean it…”
Eliza was still wearing the luxury dress from today, but no part of her body was intact.
Even her face was bruised and swollen.
And the big??ellied man in front of her looked fierce face, continuing to whip her with his belt.
“Not on purpose? You almost destroyed our family without meaning to. What would happen if you did it on purpose?”
The beating continued for nearly two hours. Then, Edwin signaled Drogo to stop.
“Take some pictures of her, then throw her out. From now on, the Vega family won’t recognize her!”
After Drogo nodded, he proceeded as Edwin ordered.
“Dad, you love me the most. Can you really bear to throw me out? Can you give me another chance? I promise I will listen to you and Nadia!”
Eliza begged desperately.
Drogo indeed felt pity for her.His first wife only bore him useless sons. None of them made him as happy as Eliza did.
He brought Eliza home against his first wife’s objections and spoiled her rotten.
But just as Drogo softened, Nadia, his legal wife, stepped forward.
“Didn’t you hear what the messenger from the Hansen family just said? If we don’t handle her well, Mr. Hansen will send each of us a coffin. Don’t drag the entire Vega family down with
Indra was at a loss for words As Vaughm mentioned, Byron had the power to protect Vaughn’s enemies. He could deal an unprecedented blow to the entire Wolf Family Should they let Byron go that easily?
To be honest, Isidra was not willing…
So on the way back, she was thinking about this issue.
On the other side, after Cora’s birthday party ended, the table was full of countless gifts.
Some high??nd electronic products, a few pricey jewels, and some property deeds were among them.
“What should I do with all these things? My uncles gave me two houses. My cousins gave me a car and two dessert shops.”
Cora was rubbing her aching forehead. She never thought she could become wealthy by receiving gifts. She just wanted to be a good doctor.Byron had been in this circle for a long time, and he was accustomed to these social obligations.
“These are their gifts for meeting you. You just accept them. I’ll have Carter help you manage them in a few days.”
Then, he pulled out a document and handed it to Cora.
“Harry couldn’t come, so he asked me to give this to you.”
Cora was taken aback, then remembered that Harry had been married to Jane.
He used to interact with William and Sara as their son??n??aw.
With Jane’s change in status, he didn’t know how to interact with the Yoris family.
So he only asked Byron to deliver his birthday gift.
Cora thought about it and opened the document.
Inside was the deed to a hair salon.
“I’m just a doctor, but now my assets have suddenly expanded to various industries.”
Byron put his arm around her shoulder.
“What’s wrong with that? If you want a haircut in the future, you can go to your salon. It’s so convenient!”
Even he had to admit that Harry was very thoughtful when giving gifts to women, winning their hearts.
