He remained silent until they arrived at the second restaurant.
“Do you know what kind of food can be used to describe the length of a man’s legs?”
Seeing that Byron had been silent for a long time, Cora took the initiative to speak.
“What is it?”
Although Byron responded, he still looked gloomy.
“Cake,”
Cora said with a wicked look on her face.
Byron was speechless.
Cora suddenly told a dirty joke!
But Byron still looked calm. Cora decided to continue.
“Do you know what food can be used to describe a man’s short legs?”
“What?”
“Egg tart!”
Byron was speechless.
He was afraid that if they continued like this, Cora couldn’t eat the cold dishes, so he said,
“There’s no need to cheer me up. I’m fine.”
Cora didn’t expect Byron to know what she wanted, so she changed the subject.
“Are you going to put that restaurant out of business?”
“Why do you ask? Are you afraid that I can’t deal with them but will be dealt with instead?”
As expected of Byron. He knew what Cora was worried about.
But before she could respond, he said,
“Actually, I still have some money left. It’s not difficult for me to make someone suffer.”
“If you want to bankrupt the Blackwell family, your money isn’t enough.”
Just then, the waiter served the dishes.
Cora chinked her plate with Byron’s and smiled sweetly.
“I will prepare for Old Mr. Hansen’s surgery. I will help him recover, so that you will not be bullied again.”
In the cold dish restaurant in the scorching summer, Cora smiled at Byron charmingly, resolutely, and seriously.
Byron kept this scene in his mind.
Because of this scene, a voice said in his mind,
“It’s her.”
*
Berry was sent to the hospital the same day he was beaten by Byron and Cora.
After the inspection, although he could still produce children, it would take some time to recover.
As a result, his father, Dillon Blackwell, was very angry. He rushed to the hospital to visit Berry in a rage and asked Berry who beat him.
“Who dared to beat the only son of our family for three generations so badly? I will send someone to kill him right now!”
Berry was quite worried because Byron said he would bankrupt the Blackwell family.
However, seeing that his father was high-spirited now, he knew that there was nothing wrong with their family’s business, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
As he said, his family was not weak.
Even if Byron was still in charge of the Hansen Group, it would not be easy for him to bring them down.
He was not the boss now. How could he easily…
But the thoughts in Berry’s mind were quickly interrupted by Dillon’s ringtone.
The phone rang too suddenly. Berry’s heart beat a little faster when he heard it.
“I don’t have time to go back to the company right now. My son was beaten. I have to send hundreds of people to beat him to pieces…”
Dillon answered the phone. At first, he was very angry, which made Berry feel a little more at ease.
But after the person on the other side of the phone said something, Dillon’s tone changed.
“What? How did this happen? Well, I’ll go back to the company right away!”
Then, Dillon put away his phone and left the hospital in a hurry, completely forgetting about his son, who was lying on the hospital bed waiting for him to take revenge.
Berry was left in the hospital. He hoped that Dillon would come back as soon as possible to avenge him.
However, he waited until after ten o’clock at night. Instead of the arrogant Dillon, his weeping mother came.
“Mom, I’m not seriously injured. I will recover soon. It won’t affect the succession of our family.”
Berry thought that his injury worried his mother, which made her cry.
But his mother cried bitterly.
“Berry, our family is bankrupt. Even our house will be seized…”
Berry didn’t hear what his mother said later.
Was the Blackwell family bankrupt?
Hadn’t Byron’s right been taken away?
How did he make the Blackwell family go bankrupt in just one day?
Countless questions popped up in Berry’s mind. The only response to him was his mother’s heart-
wrenching cries…
Cora didn’t notice the changes in the Blackwell family for the time being.
She only noticed that before Osborn’s operation, even the Yoris family seemed to be avoiding Byron intentionally or unintentionally.
When Cora and Byron talked about Evan’s surgical suggestions, it happened to be mealtime, so the two decided to eat in the hospital cafeteria.
Unexpectedly, they saw that William was eating with Jane, Ben, and Mark in the private room.
To make it look clean and hygienic, the private rooms in the cafeteria of the First Hospital were only separated by transparent glass.
So as soon as Cora and Byron entered the cafeteria, they could see the situation in the private room clearly.
They talked and laughed, which contrasted Byron’s loneliness.
Cora also saw that scene and knew that Byron must be feeling uncomfortable, so she asked him,
“How about we order shrimp and pig’s heart?”
“Shrimps and pig’s heart? What kind of combination is this?”
“It will make you happy!”
Byron couldn’t help chuckling.
“As you say.”
Cora had been trying so hard to make him happy. He was quite lucky, wasn’t he?
They ate as usual. Ben came out of the private room early and was a little embarrassed to bump into them.
“Byron, Mr. William Yoris, and Jane are communicating with us about the situation of Dad’s operation.”
Hearing this lame explanation, Cora felt embarrassed for Ben.
Byron had been taking care of Osborn’s surgery, so William and Jane should communicate with him.
But the two chose to communicate with Ben and Mark. Obviously, they knew that Byron’s rights had been taken away, and they began to alienate him coldly.
Maybe even the marriage that they worked hard on before would come to an end because of this.
Jane accidentally glanced at Byron through the glass wall and quickly looked away.
Cora caught Jane’s quick glance.
She didn’t know if Byron noticed Jane’s glance. He looked calm and indifferent as usual.
“You guys talk. I have something to talk to Dr. Lane about.”
“Okay. I won’t bother you. I’ll go to the bathroom. See you.”
Ben left quickly.
“It seems that in the face of reality and money, love is vulnerable.”
As soon as Ben left, Cora sighed.
Byron didn’t seem to be affected. He started to eat shrimp.
“Do you regret it?”
Cora asked.
Byron raised his head inadvertently.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you regret not getting engaged to the daughter of the Yoris family earlier? Then, they would be on your side and give you a hand, and your brothers wouldn’t go too far.”
Cora picked up her fork and started to eat. She seemed to eat with appetite, but her eyes fell on Byron.
In the past, she didn’t understand why Byron had to get involved with the Yoris family when he had feelings for her. But seeing all this with her own eyes today, she understood.
But she was afraid that Byron would regret it. After all, he fell from the peak to the bottom and was judged and looked down upon by others, which tested his mentality.
