But she could only stammer,
“I think it’s pointless to keep badgering each other. We have broken up, and we will be in the same situation even if we get back together. There is nothing new except wasting each other’s time of time.”
“So this is your answer?”
Byron’s eyes were still as sharp as a knife.
Cora drooped her eyes, avoiding his scary look.
“Yes.”
Before the paternity test results came out, she didn’t quite believe Jane was Flora’s biological daughter.
So she could only firmly reject Byron to prevent Flora from committing suicide in despair.
“Then never appear in front of me again!”
Every cell in Byron’s body seemed to be shouting.
After he shouted, the elevator door just opened, and he left quickly.
Seeing Byron drifting away, Cora had mixed feelings in her heart.
It was the sternest attitude Byron had been towards her since they met.
He should have been completely disappointed in her.
But what could she do?
She couldn’t disregard Flora’s life.
Cora closed her eyes and opened them after a while.
At this time, there was no sadness in her eyes, and she was full of energy and devoted herself to her busy work.
While working, Cora had been waiting for the paternity test results.
Unexpectedly, before the results came out, she received bad news about Gabe.
“What? Gabe was arrested again? What’s going on?”
The person who called Cora was Thea Lyons, Gabe’s personal assistant during this time.
Cora heard that they were together after sharing hard times and moved in together.
When Gabe called Cora two days ago, he said he would propose to Thea at the end of the year.
Cora was looking forward to their wedding. Unexpectedly, the bad news came first.
“He called me the day before yesterday and said the financial situation of the Lane family would be better after the big order was finalized. What happened?”
Thea was as anxious as Cora.
“There was a problem with the big order. Someone reported that there was something in it. Then people from the authority took Gabe away.”
Thea continued saying in a voice choked with tears,
“I’ve asked everyone I know for help, but I still couldn’t meet Gabe. Cora, I wouldn’t have found you unless I had to, and Gabe wouldn’t allow me to find you, either. But I really can’t think of a way.”
“I see. Thea, I’ll see if I can contact anyone, and I’ll talk to you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Cora thought about the only few people she knew.
The only one who could help seemed to be Byron.
But she couldn’t find Byron directly…
At this time, Sally saw that Cora was hesitantly looking at the phone with red eyes, so she asked about the situation.
Cora explained everything, and Sally immediately took out her phone.
“Sally, will this implicate your family?”
“Don’t worry. I just let them check.”
The situation of Sally’s family was a bit special because of their status. Even though they had money, they couldn’t spend it, or some people would catch their impropriety.
And they had a strong social network. They just needed to say something and could settle everything they wanted, but some people would easily get their impropriety.
But an investigation wouldn’t cause a problem.
Sally got a reply after only more than ten minutes she made the call.
“Cora, there is nothing wrong with your brother’s goods. It’s just that someone wants to make a fuss about it.”
“Who is it?”
“The Yoris family.”
Then Sally scolded,
“Does the Yoris family have a death wish? They never stop messing around!
Believe it or not, I’ll tell my grandpa and ruin them.”
“Forget it. Don’t make things difficult for your grandpa.”
“I even found out that they were making messes. Don’t you want to do something? Are you going to let them continue belittling you?”
Sally was very annoyed and wanted to bring the Yoris family down.
But Cora pondered momentarily and said,
“I just need to know the source. You’ll be wasted in dealing with such a small matter. I can handle it myself.”
Cora thought about it for a while, realizing it was probably because Cora suddenly asked Jane out to make her undefended and scolded her, so Jane was resentful, which implicated Gabe.
Since she had made it happen, Cora would find a way to settle it and wouldn’t implicate Sally and her family.
She was going to go to Jane to explain when her phone rang.
As soon as Cora answered the phone, the person over the phone informed,
“Dr. Lane, the paternity test result is out.”
Cora felt her heart jump up and down on the way to the identification center.
She hoped for a certain result and was afraid of that result because she didn’t want human nature to be so bad and complicated.
When she took the kraft paper bag from the colleague in the identification center, she was really anxious.
But when she opened it and saw the results, she calmed down a lot.
It turned out that Jane was Flora’s biological daughter, and Cora and Flora were only close relatives.
In other words, Cora was the daughter of Sara and William.
Actually, thinking of the difference Flora treated her and Jane, she had already guessed the answer, but she didn’t expect Flora to be so daring…
“Dr. Lane, is there something wrong with you?”
Her colleague was a little worried because Cora hadn’t responded after seeing the result, and her face was pale.
“I’m fine. I just haven’t had a good rest these days.”
She was afraid of causing trouble, so she didn’t write her real name on the things she had sent for the paternity test. The hospital belonged to the Yoris family. If she hadn’t done that, the Yoris family would get the results soon.
Honestly, she thought about sending the result to William to see if the Yoris family would regret what they had done to her.
But on second thought, she found the idea crazy because she hated the Yoris family from the bottom of her heart.
If they knew about this truth, it would be troublesome if they found her.
So after thanking her colleague with a smile, she went to Flora.
Flora recovered very well, and the tubes had been removed.
But when she saw Cora, she still had a poor attitude toward her.
She said harshly,
“What are you doing here again? Are you trying to piss me off? I’ve told you not to come to me unless you make a clean break with Byron.”
Cora looked at Flora’s vicious look, wondering how she had said those words against her conscience.
After looking at Flora for a while, she suddenly sneered and said,
“You’ve always wanted me to break up with Mr. Hansen because you want Dr. Yoris to get him, right? Don’t put on such a dignified look.
That’s disgusting!”
“What’s with your attitude? I’m your mom. I did everything for your own good.”
Seeing that Cora didn’t speak, Flora became unreasonable, saying,
“You dared to talk to me like that.
Are you planning to continue your relationship with Byron? As I said, if you dare to have any connection with Byron, you’ll watch me die.”
She thought Cora would only compromise desperately and powerlessly and promised not to have any contact with Byron in the future.
However, Cora sneered and said,
“Then go and get yourself killed!”
Flora was soundless.
It was too much for her to handle.
She didn’t want to die!
If she died, she couldn’t get rid of Cora, who was an obstacle on the way leading to Jane’s happy life.
Flora got angry. She immediately patted the bed and sat up, asking Cora,
“Cora, what did you say? Do you still see me as your mom?”
“You’re not my biological mother. So what if I don’t care about you?”
Cora didn’t want to turn against Flora.
