Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“Her piano playing produces a clear and beautiful sound.”
“I heard Dr. Lane’s achievements in the cardiac surgery department far surpassed Miss Yoris’s at a young age. I didn’t expect her musical achievements to exceed hers as well. No wonder Mr. Hansen likes her…”
Those people’s compliments to Cora were more like slaps after another, slapped on the faces of Jane and Sara, leaving them completely at a loss as to how to end it.
Nora was staring at Cora sitting in front of the piano and playing the music ecstatically, with an incomprehensible light in her eyes…
At the end of the song, Cora withdrew her hands from the black and white keys and opened her eyes.
“Miss Yoris and Mrs. Sara Yoris, are you satisfied now?”
She faced Jane and Sara almost jokingly. Her clear but not kitsch face made people feel cold and glamorous, so beautiful that it almost overflowed.
It’s just that neither Jane nor Sara had the heart to appreciate her unique beauty. They just felt extremely humiliated.
But letting Jane admit she lost to Cora made her feel worse than killing her.
She could only stare at Cora angrily, biting her lips until there was not even a trace of blood in them.
But just because she could bear cursing in order to preserve her image didn’t mean Sara could do the same.
Now, Sara got cynical about Cora in front of so many people.
“It’s nothing more than a little achievement in music. Just show it off like this, lest others don’t know that you have such a trick?”
However, Cora kicked the ball back.
“Then, when you asked Dr. Yoris to show off, were you also afraid that others would not know her tricks?”
“How can you be compared with Jane? You bitch!”
Sara was so angry that she slapped Cora’s face almost uncontrollably.
Cora would be on guard against Sara in private, but she didn’t expect she would be like a crazy woman, slapping her in front of the public, and her cheeks were swollen from the blow.
When the slap fell, not only was Cora stunned, but everyone else was also stunned.
None of them expected that a music appreciation party would turn out like this.
“I’m a bitch who is not worthy of competing with your daughter. Then please don’t force me to compete with her every now and then, and hit me just because you lost!”
Cora also wanted to slap Sara but was held back by other wealthy ladies.
“Leave it. She is an elder, after all. So just stop talking.”
“Yeah, it’s not easy for everyone to get together, don’t ruin the harmony.”
Everyone kept saying, it seemed that they were all for Cora’s good.
But in fact, they were just worried that if they didn’t help Sara today, they would offend the Yoris family.
“Mrs. Sara Yoris, there are so many of you today, I can’t hit you! But I will remember this slap.”
While Cora put down her harsh words, she looked at Nora again.
“I still have something to do, so I’ll go back first.”
In fact, she still considered Byron in the end, did not embarrass Nora and the Hansen family, nor did too much on a crowded occasion.
She planned to find another opportunity after leaving and explained to Nora that she would not come to such an occasion in the future.
If Nora were willing to accept her in the future, she would do what a daughter-in-law should do. If she couldn’t accept her, she wouldn’t bother to accompany her to act in front of Byron.
Cora didn’t expect Nora to chase her out when she was leaving.
“Wait, why are you leaving so fast?”
Although a servant supported Nora, she was an old lady and was out of breath after catching up with
Cora.
“You still want to criticize me, don’t you? Or do you think that Mrs. Sara Yoris’s slap just now didn’t teach me enough lessons, and you want to give me another slap?”
Cora got a slap today and felt wronged and very unhappy, so she didn’t bother to hide her dissatisfaction with Nora.
Unexpectedly, Nora lost the previous indifference and criticism towards her.
“No, no. It’s Sara’s fault to hit someone. I will get justice for you later on.”
After explaining a few words, Nora glanced at her again.
“This is for you.”
Then she forced something into her.
Cora looked down and realized it was the bracelet Nora would reward the winner earlier.
Cora took the bracelet and didn’t put it away directly but just looked at Nora indifferently.
“Are you sure I’m the winner of the competition and deserve the reward? I don’t want to be reported for theft and sent to the police station as soon as I walk out of here.”
It was not that she deliberately found fault. It was because Nora used to be good to her and then immediately made it difficult for her again, and she really didn’t bother to deal with the same trick.
“You played the tenth-grade piano repertoire, and the rhythm was so good. Which one of those people is your opponent?”
Nora added after finishing speaking,
“Don’t worry. You deserve this. I don’t bother to make a fuss about this kind of thing.”
“Then thank you, Madam Hansen.”
Cora didn’t refuse and put the bracelet into the bag directly.
After all, she joined the competition suddenly, got herself into a drama, and got slapped as to get the bracelet sent out by Byron.
If she didn’t accept the bracelet, wouldn’t the previous cynicism and slap be in vain?
After receiving the bracelet, she wanted to leave again.
But Nora grabbed her hand and said,
“Wait, let me ask you another question. Have you ever played a piece in front of Annie Franco before?”
Cora couldn’t figure out why Nora wanted to ask these questions, so she could only recall instinctively.
“Annie? That old lady who always likes to wear a hat with a few feathers?”
“That’s right. That’s her! Have you ever performed in front of her?”
Nora suddenly became inexplicably excited, and even the servant who supported her couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.
Because she seldom saw Nora being so excited since she had served Nora.
“Probably. I remember when she went to New York to accept students. My mother took me to meet her and asked me to perform for her. She wanted to accept me as her student, but I refused. I had already passed the exam and been admitted as an eighth-grade medical student, and I don’t want to disturb my academic career by learning the piano.”
“I see.”
Nora became even more excited.
Annie was also a pianist and a classmate of Nora, who was about Nora’s equal in her achievement.
Whenever they were mentioned, it was inevitable for them to be compared.
Originally, Nora was slightly better, but later Annie accepted an outstanding student.
Under her training, the student became famous overseas and the first to hold a piano recital in Siava.
As a result, Annie’s achievements suddenly surpassed hers. Every time they went to the class reunion,
Annie would sneer at Nora, saying Nora’s career was stagnant because of marriage and raising children.
Thus, Nora held her grudge and always wanted to overtake Annie before they died. She also vowed to train a person who would also be able to hold a piano recital in Siava.
Then she heard from others that when Annie selected students, the student who held the piano recital was actually not her first choice.
At that time, there was a girl who was younger than that person who played Chopin’s etude in F Minor very well, and Annie was quite satisfied with her.
But that girl told Annie secretly after the performance that she didn’t want to learn piano. She was admitted as an eight-year medical student and wanted to study medicine to be a doctor who could save lives, but her mother didn’t want her to study medicine and asked her to learn various courses.
So she begged Annie not to accept her so that she could have more time to continue studying the medicine she loved.
It was said that Annie felt the girl’s dream was great, so she agreed. But she felt it was a pity whenever that girl was mentioned, saying that if she had taken that girl as her student back then, she would be much more successful than she was now.
When Nora heard this before, she always felt that it was exaggerated, but in fact, she still memorized that girl, thinking that if she had a chance to find the girl, she would spare no effort to make that girl her student, then train her well, and let her hold a piano recital in Siava.
And when she heard Cora play Chopin’s etude in F Minor, many things were connected in her mind, so she hurriedly asked Cora to confirm her guess.
Now that Nora had confirmed it after asking Cora, she planned to follow her original plan, so she asked
Cora,
“Do you want to continue learning the piano? It would be a waste of your talent if you don’t learn, or you…”
She thought,
“Or can you become my student?”
But before Nora could finish speaking, Cora’s cell phone rang.
Cora answered the phone, and her expression changed after listening.
“I’ll be there right away.”
After hanging up the phone, she immediately told Nora,
“I have to go first, and you don’t need to ask me for this in the future. We are equal, so I don’t have to follow your plan.”
Then she stopped a taxi on the side of the road and left without looking back.
“Madam Hansen, this girl is so defiant. She dares to talk to you with such an attitude. If Mr. Hansen really married her, then…”
Servants liked to please the master. These days, Nora was making things difficult for Cora, which the servant clearly saw.
So right now, the servant wanted to please Nora by reprimanding Cora when Cora was being so defiant.
But she didn’t expect Nora to reprimand her before she could finish speaking.
“Shut up. No matter how wrong she is, she is Byron’s woman. How can you blame her?”
Nora went back to the piano room by herself after reprimanding the servant, leaving the servant in puzzlement there.
