and now had someone as handsome and influential as Byron by her side. It would seem too unfair if all of that were true.
But reality proved that sometimes the heavens favored a person, just like when your mother scolded you without reason’
Cora not only had all those accomplishments, but she also became engaged to Byron.
Saying that Evie wasn’t envious or jealous to the point of going crazy, it must be a lie.
However, Evie still insisted that all men were the same, and none of them could resist temptation.
As long as she persisted, sooner or later, she would win over Byron And now, with the appearance of Cora, when Byron didn’t immediately shake off the hand she had in his arm, it was the best proof of her opportunity.So when Cora’s cold gaze fell upon her, she not only didn’t show any fear but even lightly lifted the corner of her lips, wearing a provocative expression…
But Cora didn’t immediately explode. She quickly responded to Harry
“Mr. Crom, I didn’t say he did anything. He’s not even worried himself, so why are you explaining to him?
Ty now, her eyes no longer held the darkness they had when she first entered the private room. There was even a faint smile on her face.
However, when Cora smiled like that, Harry’s entire body started to feel a creeping sensation
“I’m not explaining for Byron. I’m just stating the objective facts,”
Harry replied, but his forced explanation didn’t seem to be well??/p>
received Indeed, Cora’s gaze had already landed on Byron The latter coldly glanced at the hand that Evie had placed on his arm with a clear expression of repulsion in his eyes.
However, it seemed that he thought of something afterward, as he managed to conceal that repulsion and even didn’t shake off Evie’s hand.
He asked Cora coldly,
“Why are you here?”
The feeling was as if the person who had been trying on wedding dresses with her and discussing honeymoon trips just today wasn’t him.
Cora didn’t explode on the spot. She simply replied,
“Mr. Cross sent me a message, saying that you were about to be devoured by monsters and demons. I rushed over to take a look and see what kind of audacious monster would dare to do that.”A spectrum of emotions played across Evie’s face.
She didn’t even need to ask to know that the monsters and demons referred to her.
Unable to control her temper, Evie retorted,
“Cora, we’re still alumni, not strangers. There’s no need to be so confrontational in your words.”
Harry was slightly surprised and looked at Evie for a moment.
Alumni?
He hadn’t thought that there was this connection between this
“monster”
and Cora.
So, was Byron watching over the monster for Cora because of this alumni relationship?
Harry stole a glance at Byron, hoping to find an answer in his eyes.
However, he noticed that someone was quietly observing Cora and not saying a word, wearing a half??mile as he looked at Cora with a slightly resentful expression.
So, was Byron actually enjoying this, watching as his wife got jealous for him?
Once Harry realized this, he suddenly felt quite full in his stomach.
But tonight, aside from the drinks, he hadn’t eaten anything else.What filled him up was none other than their happiness!
“I rushed over? You haven’t seen me when I’m even more worked up,”
Cora retorted with her usual cold tone.
While Evie was attempting to provoke hier, wanting to see her get even more worked up.
Cora gave another cold glance at the man still sitting on the couch, unmoving.
“Still not getting up? You need a lesson, don’t you?”
In matters involving both men and women, it took two to tango.
She was well aware that focusing solely on Dese wonddn’t be effectiv Este was still planning to engage in wese petty provocations.
After all, she believed that powerful and influential men didn’t appreciate being summoned and ordered around She thought that the approach Cora was taking would only push the man further away
Only women like her who understood how to be gentle and didn’t nitpick with men about these things would ultimately have a chance to stay by a man’s side.
However, just as Evie was about to speak up, the man who had allowed her to hold his hand a moment ago suddenly waved her handDway
“Mr. Hansen?”
Evie was taken aback and wanted to grab the man’s arm once again It was as if holding onto his arm would secure her a place in his future However, this time, she couldn’t even reach him
“Get lost!”
After the man rebuked her, he walked away towards Cora without looking back Then, the man who had exuded an icy aura just moments ago suddenly changed his demeanor, saying to Cora,
“Cora, I’ve had too much to drink and can’t walk steadily. Can you support me?”
Harry and Evie were left speechless.
They never would have imagined that the man who seemed to have control over everything in front of others would have such a different interaction mode with Cora in private.
Amid Evie’s and Harry’s astonishment, Cora didn’t even spare a glance at Byron.
“There are plenty of people willing to help you walk Why don’t you ask them to come over and assist you?”
While Cora’s words didn’t explicitly mention Evie, she didn’t even spare a glance for her. Both Evie and Harry understood that Cora was referring to her.
Evie even thought to herself that if she were in Byron’s position, she would probably have other people come and help or even break off the engagement right there.
After all, there were countless women in the world, and let Cora regret her decision!
Evie, too, momentarily looked at Byron with anticipation.
As long as the man called out to her, even with a mere glance, she would have eagerly stepped forward.
However, in her hopeful anticipation, Byron said,
“I just want you to help me walk’
Evie furrowed her brows. Byron’s behavior was far from the domineering image she had imagined.
Even though Byron was patiently using words that didn’t quite fit the image of a powerful executive to coax Cora, she remained indifferent to him.
She even retorted to him,
“Do I look like a cane to you?”Byron suddenly burst into laughter.
“Not at all.”
And then, he embraced Cora’s waist and led her outside.
As they stepped out of the private room, Byron didn’t forget to turn back and greet Harry.
“We’re leaving first.”
“Alright, you and your wife should get some rest early,”
Harry replied.
With a smile in his eyes, Byron looked quite different from the person who had been drinking alone and looking like the world was about to collapse just moments ago.
Harry suddenly understood. Byron probably just wanted to wait for Cora to come and take him home.
He could walk ninety??ine steps, and as long as Cora took one step forward, he would be satisfied.
It was really heartwarming…
Harry couldn’t help but envy this kind of devotion, the kind of love that was willing to give everything.
He also really wanted to love passionately like that again.
However, his marriage with Jane had already drained his enthusiasm, and he wasn’t sure if he could ever love like that again in the future.
Harry stared absentmindedly in the direction that Cora and Byron had left, while Evie had already turned cold??aced, ready to leave the private room.After all the effort she had put in, Byron still seemed so obedient to Cora, which infuriated her even more.
She felt the need to adjust her strategy. She couldn’t just wait desperately for Byron’s attention at the Eversong Club. Instead, she needed to take the initiative.
However, as she got up, the sound caught Harry’s attention once again, and his gaze landed on her.
“Do you see it? Between the two of them, there’s absolutely no place for you as the standby third party.”
Harry’s words clenched Evie’s hands, which were resting on her thighs, into tight fists.
She wanted to retort to Harry, but considering he was a regular at this top??otch private room, she held back.
Offending him could not only cost her the chance to enjoy the services of such a premium room, but it might also lead to her being banned from Eversong Club entirely, and even her position at New York might be at risk So, in the end, Evie didn’t say anything and simply left the private room…
Cora hailed a car, and both she and Byron sat in the backseat.
However, whether due to discomfort or other reasons, she hadn’t paid any attention to Byron since getting in the car. Her gaze remained fixed on the scenery outside the car window.
Byron had consumed a lot of alcohol and wasn’t feeling well, and he kept his eyes closed and leaned back in his seat.
After a while, he took the initiative to speak,
“Don’t you have anything you want to ask me?”
“Will you tell me everything if I ask you?”
Even without opening his eyes to look at Cora, Byron could sense a hint of tension in her voice, like a trace of gunpowder.
“If you ask, I’ll tell. We’re in that kind of relationship. Can I still deceive you?”
Byron kept his eyes closed and leaned against the back seat, but his hand sought out Cora’s. Despite her struggles, he tightly held her hand, and she eventually gave in
“About the hip mark on your shirt carlier, was it from Evie?”
As she asked this question, she couldn’t help but observe Byron Seeing the man who had kept his eyes closed all this time finally open them to look at her.
You held that question back until now? Were you afraid of bursting?”
There was a hint of a smile in his cold gaze, faint but genuine.
