Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
But Sara’s reaction proved that William’s words were true.
Still, their relationship made Cora only feel sick.
“I also think it’s disgusting that we are related by blood. So we’ll just be enemies like before. As for today’s matter, I’m in a rush to the appointment, so I’ll let it go.”
With these words, Cora walked out of the factory.
But Sara was still angry and cursed at her back,
“You bitch. You won’t be cocky for too long. Sooner or later, I…”
Cora suddenly stopped in the middle of Sara’s cursing.
“Stop calling me like that. I’m a human, and I will feel wronged to hear that.”
“What do you feel wronged about? A bitch like you is not worthy of sympathy.”
Cora turned back and sneered,
“Then I hope your precious daughter will encounter the same thing as me. Let’s see if you will feel wronged and sad for her!”
She just cursed Sara because she was so angry, but she didn’t expect her words to come true.
But that was another story.
After saying this, Cora quickly left, rushing to Byron’s appointment.
When seeing Byron in the restaurant, she threw herself into his arms regardless of the eyes of the surrounding people. Only then did she feel she had come alive.
Even though she had escaped danger, she still had lingering fears.
If Sara found some fighters or more people, she might have failed to escape danger, and she and
Byron might be unable to be together.
But now, she could still keep their appointment safely and lean in his arms. Cora was grateful to get
Byron back.
“What’s wrong? I called you just now, but your phone has been turned off. Did anything happen to you?”
When Byron arrived at the restaurant, he was very disturbed when he didn’t see Cora and found her phone had been turned off.
Just when he contacted Carter and wanted to find the person who had been sent to Cora’s side to see if something had happened, Cora appeared.
“Nothing. I was just afraid you would be anxious.”
Cora didn’t want to expose today’s incident. After all, if this kind of incident became a big deal, some people would still doubt her innocence.
“That’s good. You must be hungry. Let’s get some food.”
Byron seemed to believe Cora’s words. He patted her on the back to comfort her and began to eat.
Halfway through the meal, he went to the bathroom and called Carter. His face immediately became terribly gloomy when he learned about Cora’s being taken away by Sara’s people.
“The Yoris family has gone too far and stretched their hands too long. They can’t tell me who I should marry.”
Although Cora didn’t say anything, Byron could tell from her pale face when she threw herself into his arms and knew something had happened and made her feel lingering fear.
Judging from the information obtained by Carter, something indeed happened to Cora. Sara asked her men to kidnap Cora.
The people Byron had sent to guard Cora had been waiting for an opportunity to rescue her. But before they could make a move, they saw Cora beat up the two men.
Even so, Byron wouldn’t tolerate Cora having been bullied.
“Set up a trap and let them suffer,”
Byron said to Carter.
Otherwise, everyone in the Yoris family would mistreat Cora, which would be unbearable for Byron.
After hanging up the phone with Carter, Byron returned to normal and returned to the table. Later, they went to buy gifts for Flora after the meal.
Since Cora wanted to keep it to herself, he would pretend not to know it.
Of course, he would let those people pay a hundredfold for what they had done to Cora.
Cora didn’t know what Byron was doing behind the scenes. She only knew they had met someone when they bought gifts for Flora in the mall.
At that time, Byron asked Cora,
“How about the mango tart?”
“Other flavours of tart are fine, but not mango. My mom is allergic to mangoes.”
As soon as Cora finished speaking, a man bowed before her and Byron in the blink of an eye.
“Mr. Hansen, please let me go. I know I was wrong.”
Cora stared at the man in front of her, whose suit was terribly wrinkled. She was stunned for a long time before she realized he was Wesley, who took advantage of the loss of Byron’s power to humiliate him at the Hansen family’s party last time.
Actually, she didn’t like to be aggressive. But she felt extremely upset when she recalled the bald
Wesley called Byron disdainfully at the dinner party last time.
Byron was about to ignore Wesley, but Cora wanted to teach him a lesson.
So when Wesley bowed before them, Cora asked,
“Who are you?”
Wesley raised his head in a daze. He was stunned momentarily by Cora’s gorgeous face but suddenly felt an icy stare on him.
He turned his head and immediately met Byron’s deep and frosty eyes. He quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Byron and offend Cora with his eyes.
“Mrs. Hansen, I’m Wesley. I accidentally offended Mr. Hansen and you before. Please forgive me.”
Wesley had shown the humblest manner. Even though the surrounding people in the mall were drawn to him and talked about him, he didn’t take it seriously.
Even if he were asked to lick their feet now, Wesley would do it, as long as the Ashton Group wouldn’t go bankrupt.
The Ashton Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.
No one would have expected the Ashton Group to fall upon hard times after the dinner party and its century-old foundation to be on the verge of collapse.
Wesley knew everything happened because he tried his best to humiliate Byron and curry favour with
Mark at the dinner party.
Wesley regretted being unable to see the situation and taking the lead to humiliate Byron.
Now that Byron’s identity had changed, everyone in the Hansen family respected him.
Although Mark dominated the whole matter, he was Byron’s family. Byron wouldn’t be ruthless to him no matter what.
In this way, Wesley would take all the blame.
He tried his best to curry favour with Byron, hoping he could keep the century-old business of the
Ashton family.
But apparently, he failed to please Cora by respectfully calling her
“Mrs. Hansen”. She seemed to be smiling but was actually mocking Wesley.
“Now I remembered. Mr. Ashton, right? Why are you bowing? Why don’t you ask Byron to help you up so that I can fan you and peel some grapes for you.”
Cora’s words scared Wesley out of his wits.
Byron couldn’t help but glance at her, thinking she was too bold to say everything.
But he knew that everything she had said was just to fight for his justice.
“No. I don’t deserve to be called Mr. Ashton in front of you. Please just call me Wesley. I made a big mistake that day and offended you two. And I’m truly sorry for what happened. I shouldn’t have belittled
Mr. Hansen to please someone else when Mr. Hansen lost power.”
Wesley quickly apologized and made proper self-criticism.
“We accept your apology, but we will not forgive you.”
Cora’s answer made Wesley pin his hope on Byron.
“Mrs. Hansen is a woman, after all, and her vision may not be as far-sighted as men. Mr. Hansen…”
Wesley even wanted to trade with Byron to keep the Ashton Group temporarily.
He believed a person with a broad perspective like Byron should know how to choose in the face of interests and wouldn’t be as narrow-minded as a woman like Cora.
But before he finished speaking, Byron interrupted him,
“What she says is exactly my point.”
His seemingly casual words destroy all of Wesley’s hopes.
“No, Mr. Hansen! The Ashton Group is the painstaking effort of several generations of the Ashton family. I can’t let it be ruined in my hands! Please let me go. I will be at your service in the future.”
Wesley bowed to plead for mercy, his forehead banging on the ground, making a loud sound.
He thought that as long as the apology was sincerer, even if he couldn’t move Byron, the power of public opinion could force him to relent.
Unexpectedly, Byron told him,
“You may not know. Actually, all the things against the Ashton Group are not under my instruction.”
“What?”
Wesley was stunned for a moment before realizing what Byron meant.
That was to say, at present, the bank didn’t lend money to the Ashton Group, other cooperative companies had come to ask for the final payment, and the Ashton Group’s breach of contract was discovered in various cooperations. These are all those leaders’ spontaneous actions and had nothing to do with Byron?
But it made sense. He offended Byron thoroughly at the dinner party, and many people witnessed that.
Now, Byron was in full swing and supported by the Sunda Group. No one would offend him, fearing they would miss the opportunity to be associated with a powerful company like the Sunda Group.
Therefore, on the premise that they knew Wesley had offended Byron, they naturally wanted to insulate themselves from their cooperation with the Ashton Group so as not to be implicated by him. Meanwhile, they were showing their goodwill to Byron.
“So whether we forgive you or not won’t change the Ashton Group’s current status.”
As Byron said, he looked at Cora.
