Byron pinched her hand lightly.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
As people were focused on mocking Byron, no one noticed that Mark had left for a moment and was now leading someone over.
“Actually, I also invited Mr. Ronald Yaxley from Sunda Group.”
Ronald was the employee of the Sunda Group that Mark managed to reach. The successful cooperation between the Hansen Group and Sunda Group was also thanks to Ronald’s help in establishing contact with the domestic CEO of the Sunda Group.
Moreover, according to Ronald, that CEO’s last name was Five.
This made Mark even more certain that Byron was merely pretending to be
“Mr. Five”, who rarely appeared in public, in order to deceive others.
If Ronald exposed him in front of everyone, Byron would lose his reputation. And in the future, no one in New York would want to cooperate with someone like him. It would be difficult for him to make a comeback.
Mark concealed his excitement and smiled, saying,
“Mr. Yaxley, I apologize. It seems we accidentally sent the invitation card meant for Mr. Five to my brother.”
“Seriously? How careless you were. How could you send the invitation card to the wrong person?”
Ronald, who was almost bald, criticized Mark coldly.
“We’re very sorry. We’ve been so negligent that we actually sent the invitation card to Byron. So now I’d like to ask for your help, Mr. Yaxley…”
Mark wanted Ronald to call
“Mr. Five”
and publicly invite him to the banquet so that Byron’s lie would be exposed.
However, before he could finish speaking, the previously indifferent Ronald suddenly interrupted him and put on a flattering smile as he approached Byron.
“Mr. Five, why didn’t you tell me when you arrived? I should have waited outside to welcome you!”
At that moment, the entire banquet venue fell silent. Everyone seemed dazed except for Ronald, who was enthusiastically flattering Byron.
People forgot to speak, and those eating dropped their food on the floor.
Even Mark, who had taken two glasses of champagne from a server to offer one to Ronald, suddenly felt weak and dropped both glasses, shattering them on the ground.
Could it be true that Byron was actually the domestic CEO of Sunda Group?
But didn’t Ronald say that his surname was Five?
So…
did that CEO name himself like this because he was the fifth son of the Hansen family?
The Yoris family was equally bewildered.
“When did Byron become the domestic CEO of Sunda Group? Do you know about this, Jane?”
William never expected such a shocking reversal.
They had always thought that Byron, who didn’t even have an invitation card, wouldn’t have the qualifications to attend his own family’s banquet and would be asked to leave in embarrassment. But now, Byron had become the star of this banquet.
“He never told me about it…”
Jane’s surprise was no less than William’s.
When she looked at Byron, she couldn’t help but frown.
If it were true, then the Yoris family’s disregard and coldness towards him would definitely make him resentful.
Jane could no longer expect Byron to marry her. As long as Byron wouldn’t hate her family for this, she would be grateful.
But with Cora accompanying him through thick and thin, Byron would definitely be grateful to her. Even if they couldn’t get married in the end, Byron would always keep his love for her in mind.
The more she thought about it, the more Jane felt unwilling. If only she were the one who was with
Byron this time.
If so, as soon as everyone learned about Byron’s identity, Byron would definitely marry her and give her a grand wedding that every woman would dream of.
Sara’s thoughts seemed to align with Jane’s, but she expressed them more directly, glaring at Cora in front of everyone.
“This little slut knew all along and had been waiting for this moment to come. She’s so young yet already so scheming. I won’t let her get what she wants.”
Jane wasn’t sure whether Sara could prevent Cora from getting what she wanted.
But Sara’s words reminded her of something.
On the other side, Harry also looked at Byron with disbelief.
He didn’t know that Byron had such an identity. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been in such a hurry to distance himself from him.
Fortunately, things weren’t so bad at the moment. At least Harry hadn’t made Byron his enemy, so repairing their relationship wasn’t impossible.
Eason and Lydia also looked confused.
“When did Byron become the domestic CEO of Sunda Group? Didn’t Mark say that it was someone surnamed Five?”
“How would I know that?”
Eason was not only confused but also frustrated.
Byron’s new identity made him reach a higher status, so it was even more impossible for Cora to leave him for Eason. Besides, the Patton family was on the wrong side again.
Not only did they fail to seize this opportunity to become powerful, but they also offended Byron, so the
Patton family might suffer a serious lack of funds in the upcoming days.
Among them, Byron’s brothers were the most dumbfounded ones.
Especially Mark, who said,
“Mr. Yaxley, this is my fifth brother, Byron. He can’t be the Mr. Five of Sunda
Group. I think you must be mistaken.”
“I couldn’t possibly be mistaken. How could I mistake someone as outstanding as him? He is Mr. Five, the domestic CEO of our Sunda Group. I met with him recently,”
Ronald said confidently, leaving Mark so desperate that he almost fainted.
This meant that Byron was indeed the domestic CEO of Sunda Group.
He had thought that by seizing power while Osborn was ill and suppressing Byron, he could permanently hold the upper hand in the Hansen family.
But now, after spending all his efforts, he found himself once again under Byron’s control.
“Byron, why didn’t you tell us you are the domestic CEO of Sunda Group? You see, we almost turn against each other.”
Before Mark recovered from the shock, Patrick and Ben had come to Byron to curry favor with him.
Their words and deeds were all to please Byron, and even their wives kept praising Cora.
In short, they would do anything to please Byron.
Even if they had to kneel on the ground and wipe Byron’s shoes, they would do it.
Besides Patrick and Ben, those who had been watching Byron’s expulsion with cold eyes before all rushed up to cling to Byron.
Their enthusiasm was more than ten times higher than before.
Sunda Group’s market value was more than a hundred times that of Hansen Group, so as the domestic
CEO, Byron’s status was much higher than the heir of the Hansen family.
Because of the high enthusiasm of these people, Cora, who was standing next to Byron, was crowded far away.
Cora was still a little dazed now because she didn’t expect that Byron was the domestic CEO of Sunda
Group and that Hansen Group hosted a banquet to welcome him.
Seeing Byron having so many admirers, Cora was happy for him, but she was also sad.
In fact, when Byron fell from the peak, apart from feeling sorry for him, she felt happy secretly.
She felt happy because the distance between them narrowed, and it was not difficult for them to get married, so she opened her heart and accepted him again.
However, in a short period of time, Byron stood at the peak again.
Seeing him being surrounded and admired by others, Cora felt that the distance between the two of them suddenly widened, and he became unreachable again.
She thought that the two of them seemed to be unable to get together again.
At first, she looked at Byron with shining eyes.
But at this moment, her eyes dimmed a lot.
Finally, she turned around lonely, ready to leave.
Frowning, Byron was dealing with people who came up to greet him whether they knew him or not, but he suddenly found that Cora, who had been standing beside him and encouraging him just now, was gone.
He turned his head abruptly and saw that Cora was squeezed far away. She looked at him lonely for a while, and then she turned and left.
Byron realized that there was another meaning hidden in her leaving, so he ignored the people around him and called her,
“Dr. Lane.”
Cora was taken aback for a moment and stopped.
Byron seldom called her
“Dr. Lane”, and he would only call her this when they were very intimate to each other.
But now, he called her that in public, which made Cora feel in a daze.
When she turned around, she saw Byron staring at her affectionately from a long distance away.
It seemed that apart from her, he could no longer feel the admiring gazes around him.
Those people who separated them just now seemed to realize something, and they quickly backed away to open a way in front of them.
“As for the question I asked you last night, can you give me an official answer?”
Byron walked slowly toward Cora from the way that people let go.
