Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“There’s a jewellery store over there. Let’s go check out the ankle bracelet?”
Cora was not sure whether he wanted to buy her jewellery or simply get rid of Wesley, but she nodded anyway.
Then, Byron led her towards the jewellery store.
Wesley was still standing there, pleading hoarsely,
“Mr. Hansen, it can change it. You just need to say something in my defense.”
“You don’t deserve me to do that,”
Byron said. Then he took Cora away without looking back.
If he only offended Byron, maybe Byron would consider letting him go.
But Wesley’s frivolity in front of Cora that day doomed the Ashton Group’s bankruptcy.
“Mr. Hansen, I’m truly sorry. Please help me. I don’t know who to ask for help.”
Wesley was still begging, but Byron and Cora had gone far.
The next day, Cora and Byron went to visit Flora with all the gifts they had chosen for Flora in the mall yesterday during the lunch break.
Seeing them carrying bags into the ward, Flora couldn’t help but say,
“I’m glad you came to visit me.
You don’t have to bring gifts.”
“Mom, we came here today to tell you something important.”
Cora glanced at Byron with shyness in her beautiful eyes.
Byron took her hand and said,
“Mrs. Flora Lane, Cora and I are to get married.”
“Oh, my god. It’s good news!”
Flora felt a lot of vitality upon hearing that.
She started discussing some precautions for getting married with Byron and asked him about the meeting between the two families.
Cora actually hadn’t thought about the two families’ meeting, but Byron said,
“I will arrange for the two families to meet as soon as possible. Mrs. Flora Lane, you can rest assured.”
Soon, it was time for Cora to get to work.
After Cora went to the emergency room, Byron said,
“I have cleared my schedule for this afternoon.
Why don’t I take you downstairs to take a walk?”
Flora hadn’t gone downstairs to breathe fresh air for a long time. So she agreed to Byron’s proposal.
But they didn’t know that when Byron pushed Flora in her wheelchair downstairs, they were bumped into by Jane.
At that time, a patient of Jane suddenly had a headache, so she sent the patient downstairs to the CT
room for examination.
While waiting for the patient’s examination, she caught a glimpse of Byron pushing Flora around the flower bed from a distance.
They walked and chatted with smiles, looking familiar to each other.
The scene deeply hurt Jane’s feelings.
Just at this time, a female nurse from the burns unit who was somewhat familiar with Jane passed by.
Seeing Jane staring at Byron and Flora, she enthusiastically introduced them to Jane,
“Dr. Yoris, that’s the mother of Dr. Lane in the emergency room, and the man pushing Dr. Lane’s mother is her fianc?.”
“How do you know that man is her fianc??”
Jane retorted with obvious hostility in her tone.
After all, Byron was still her fianc? in her mind. So she was angry to hear the nurse say he was Cora’s fianc?.
But the nurse was insensitive and didn’t hear Jane’s hostility. She smiled,
“That man tried so hard to show his kindness to Dr. Lane’s mother. He came here almost every afternoon to chat with her during lunch break.”
Hearing the nurse’s words, Jane clenched her hands into fists.
The nails dug deep into her palms, almost poking a hole. But she still clenched her fists tightly as if she didn’t notice it because only such bone-piercing pain could remind her not to lose control in front of others!
It turned out that Byron didn’t propose to her just because of Cora’s company during his frustration, but he had planned it for a long time.
To get Flora to agree Cora to marry him, he even came to visit Flora every afternoon to seek attention.
Recalling that she had to ask Carter to make an appointment before having an occasional dinner with
Byron, Jane only felt she had become a joke.
But the nurse was unaware of Jane’s overwhelming anger. She smiled and continued,
“Everyone in our department thinks Dr. Lane is really lucky. His fianc? is handsome and kind to elders. He brought all kinds of delicate pastries to Dr. Lane’s mother every time he came. Even we could eat some.
“I heard that he seems to be an assistant. We didn’t think an assistant’s monthly salary would be too high, but he brought high-end pastries personalized by the hotel every time. I suppose he has spent all of his salary. But since he treats Dr. Lane wholeheartedly, he must love her to the core. The people in our department have witnessed them show their affection many times!”
The nurse’s words reminded Jane that when Flora mentioned her fianc?’s surname was Hansen, she asked Jane thoughtfully,
“Is your fianc?’s surname also Hansen?”
She suddenly realized Flora probably didn’t know that her future son-in-law and she was originally a couple!
Otherwise, Flora probably wouldn’t have agreed with Byron and Cora being together.
The more Jane thought about it, the more she felt Flora could help her prevent Byron from marrying
Cora.
Although Flora’s liking for her seemed inexplicable, she thought she could use Flora when she thought of the seafood porridge Flora had given to her, the scarf, and her carefulness in front of her.
Jane stared at Flora and Byron, who were talking and laughing and drifting away.
Even though her intuition told her this would bring trouble, she would do whatever it cost!
Byron pushed Flora in her wheelchair around the flower bed. When they were about to go back to the ward, they bumped into Rachel Kilvert, the cousin of the Lane family.
Rachel used to be Flora’s bosom friend. Because Flora didn’t like to go out to socialize, Rachel often went to the Lane family and would go out of her way to find various skin care products and nutritional items for Flora. Every time they met, she intimately chatted with Flora.
Flora treated her very well and would give her high-end supplements.
Although Flora couldn’t make decisions about the Lane family’s business, she would tell her father to help Rachel as much as they could.
Therefore, with the help of the Lane family, Rachel’s in-law’s family developed well.
But when the Lane family went bankrupt, Rachel seemed to have forgotten her friendship with Flora.
She refused to help the Lane family and even mocked them when they came across.
So, when Rachel ran into Flora sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed out for a walk, she greeted her with a fake smile,
“Isn’t this Mrs. Flora Lane? Didn’t you go crazy and almost burn yourself to death?”
“Yeah. But I’m neither dead nor crazy. And I live a better life now. Are you angry?”
Flora had never been a pushover, so naturally, she wouldn’t let Rachel have the upper hand.
Seeing that she was at a disadvantage in front of Flora, Rachel rested her eyes on Byron, who was behind Flora.
“This is…”
The more Rachel looked at him, the more she felt he stood out and even a little familiar.
She guessed if Byron was the boss of a company her husband’s parents had worked with.
Rachel knew Flora had a beautiful daughter. She and her friends had joked, saying she could marry a top wealthy family just by her appearance.
So Rachel couldn’t help but wonder if the joke had become a real thing.
If the Lane family returned to high society because Cora married into a wealthy family, then Flora was still useful to her, and she couldn’t go too far in front of Flora.
“He is Cora’s fianc?, Byron,”
Flora briefly introduced.
Rachel was still sizing up Byron, feeling that he looked more and more handsome and even had an extraordinary aura.
Even though he didn’t even bother to greet her, Rachel didn’t feel his indifference but took it for granted.
“Hi, may I ask where you work?”
Rachel felt his name was a little familiar, so she greeted Byron with a smile.
Her husband’s family was not classy enough to enter the high society in New York and could only be on the edge of it. So naturally, she had no chance to meet Byron, the leader of the top wealthy family. She had only vaguely heard of his name.
“I work as an assistant in Borg Company.”
Borg Company was a branch of the metaverse industry under the Hansen family. That was also how Cora introduced him to Flora.
However, Rachel’s expression changed after she heard Byron’s answer.
“Just an assistant. I thought you were a big shot!”
“No matter what, he’s better than your son, who doesn’t even know how to manage his business!”
Flora naturally didn’t want Rachel to see her family’s jokes.
“Sooner or later, my son will come back to inherit the family property. And I still have my son-in-law. My son-in-law also happens to work at Borg Company. But he is the manager of the company, not just an assistant.”
Rachel had a son and a daughter. Her son fought, drank, and made trouble. He was a typical negative example for parents to educate their children and a loser Rachel’s family never wanted to mention.
Her daughter was mediocre. She was not pretty as Cora and was academically weaker than her. But because of her youth, she stole a man, a manager in his early forties and old enough to be her father, from his wife and married him.
But for Rachel’s family, who laughed at the poor but not the prostitutes, they were proud of it.
