Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Even if she switched her and Jane out of bad motives, at least Flora watched her grow up.
But Flora repeatedly wiped away Cora’s last trace of kindness towards her.
“You…”
Flora wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, she realized what Cora had said. Her eyes widened, and she stared at Cora in a panic.
“Why are you talking about? How could I not be your biological mother? I…”
Cora didn’t know if she was confusing Cora or herself. Anyway, Cora didn’t want to hear those words anymore.
Before she could finish speaking, Cora threw the paternity test result on her hospital bed,
“Here is the
DNA result. Do you want to see it? It’s new.”
When Flora hurriedly flipped through the paternity tests, Cora stared blankly at a point, mocking herself,
“I always thought it was because you were sick that you radiated your love for me to Jane.
Even though many of your actions seemed unreasonable, I have always been looking for reasons and excuses for you, thinking that you love me, but your mental instability made you become like this.
“Do you believe it? If you had given me the scarf knitted for Jane, I might not have taken the paternity test because of the scarf. But you insisted on giving her the scarf. However, she didn’t cherish it and gave it to someone else.”
Flora looked at the paternity test but actually knew the result very clearly.
It was just that when Cora said that Jane gave the scarf to someone else, she looked at Cora in astonishment.
But Cora didn’t even look at her. She continued mocking herself,
“But it’s good. It’s like a slap that woke me up. In this way, I don’t have to continue being emotionally self-moved and waiting foolishly for my mom’s love that never belongs to me. And I don’t have to be so miserable because of my mom, who never belongs to me, and be trapped by her.”
Flora watched Cora grow up and understood her.
Hearing her words, Flora guessed Cora would make a move next. She asked her angrily,
“What are you trying to do? I warn you, don’t try to steal Jane’s fianc?!”
Seeing Flora suddenly regain her aggressive tone, she laughed,
“Did I expose your secret so you don’t even pretend?”
“What do you care?”
said Flora.
“I don’t care, but I’m going to steal her fianc?!”
Now that she had been free from the ridiculous mother-daughter relationship, Cora would naturally do whatever she wanted.
“Don’t you dare! Believe me or not, I…”
Cora assumed she would threaten her with suicide. But she didn’t want to hear those words anymore.
She said,
“You want to threaten me with suicide again? Go ahead. You are not my mother. Why should
I worry about your life?”
“But you can’t steal Jane’s fianc?. If you feel angry, do anything you want to me. Jane is innocent.”
Flora’s words only disappointed Cora.
“Jane, Jane, Jane. You only care about her. When you were seriously ill, I was the only one who paid for your medicine, hospitalization, and recuperation expenses.
What was Jane doing at that time?”
“It’s not Jane’s fault. She doesn’t know about this at all.”
Flora’s eyes were red with anxiety.
“Yes, she didn’t know this. So she didn’t take responsibility for this part. Why don’t I tell her now and see if she can work as hard for you as I did?”
Cora wouldn’t have felt so wronged if Flora hadn’t kept favoring Jane.
But Cora mentally broke down when hearing her say how innocent Jane was and that she couldn’t be hurt.
Jane was innocent. Was Cora guilty?
Jane couldn’t be hurt. Did she deserve to get hurt?
At that moment, she really wanted to take Jane before Flora and let her see what choice Jane would make after knowing her identity!
Actually, Cora was indeed about to do that.
However, as soon as she ran to the ward door, Flora quickly grabbed her.
“You can’t go to Jane, and you can’t let her know about this!”
Cora suddenly turned to look at Flora with a sneer.
“You are afraid that Jane will think you are psychologically distorted and stay away from you after she knows the truth. You are also afraid that the current situation of the Lane family will ruin her bright future.”
Flora froze. Obviously, what Cora said revealed her real thoughts.
“I was not reconciled to the result in those years. I stayed with William first, and he also said he would marry me. But he went on a blind date, and the woman was Sara!”
Probably it was because Flora was still afraid that Cora would expose everything regardless. She changed the subject and talked about her past, which she least wanted to be known.
“Sara and I are half-sisters, but our situation is quite different. She is the child of the legal wife and the eldest daughter of the Moore family. Wherever she goes, she is the focus of others’ attention. But I am the illegitimate daughter. The Moore family refused to recognize me. My father also didn’t allow me to call him Dad in front of outsiders. Everyone looked down upon me and laughed at me.
“Sara and I are the same age and were still in the same class. Others flattered her but despised me. I swallowed all insults to keep what I wanted. But she still snatched William away from me and made me bear the infamy of a mistress. She ruined my reputation. I couldn’t even have a normal marriage. In the end, I could only marry a widower of the Lane family.”
Cora had learned about this story from William.
But the grief in Flora’s tone made her know that she still hated William. She didn’t agree with what Flora had done.
“No matter how unwilling you are, you shouldn’t have chosen this method. You could snatch William back from Sara and break up with him to vent your anger! But you chose the most stupid way. You exchanged the children of the two families. Are you sure you have punished them?”
Cora raised her voice hysterically because she was the only victim of the revenge.
The Yoris family was very kind to Jane.
But Cora’s life was miserable.
Perhaps from the very beginning, Flora had no good intentions and even wanted to kill her.
It was a miracle for Cora to survive till now.
Compared to this, the obstacles she met in her studies at that time were nothing.
“I regret it too. But what else can I do?”
Flora covered her face and wept.
In fact, after she exchanged Jane and Cora, she missed her own daughter every day.
For a time, she always sneaked around Jane’s school to catch a glimpse of her from a distance.
To this day, she was not sure now whether she was punishing Sara and William or punishing herself by exchanging children.
But even though Flora said so much, Cora was not moved. She said calmly,
“Now, there is a chance to get everything back on track.”
Flora looked up at her in astonishment.
“Get everything back on track?
Then, Jane will become the poor daughter of the bankrupt Lane family from the rich young lady of the
Yoris family!
“No!
“No!
“I can’t let it happen!”
With this in mind, Flora fell to her knees.
“Cora, please don’t expose these things. Please! I beg you to have pity on me.”
Jane’s fate would be ruined once the paternity test report was exposed.
Flora didn’t want to see such a result, so she could only plead with Cora.
“Why don’t you have pity on me?”
Cora roared desperately.
“I know I was wrong. Cora, you are a good girl, and you won’t care about it.”
Flora knelt on the ground, hugged Cora’s legs, and cried bitterly.
She knew Cora was sharp-tongued but tender-hearted. So she knew how to make Cora compromise.
But this time, Cora’s reaction surprised Flora. Even though she banged her head on the ground, Cora looked at her indifferently and did not stop her crazy action.
The key was that when her knees were hurt, Cora still had no intention of pulling her up.
“I’m sorry, I’m afraid I have to let you down this time. The more you try to stop me, the more I have to set yourself against!”
Flora looked up at Cora in astonishment. There was already a bloodstain on her forehead, and the swollen part looked scary.
In the past, Cora would be extremely anxious when she knew Flora was injured and would immediately put down what she was doing to help her treat the wounds.
But at this moment, she glanced at her forehead coldly and said,
“I want to be with Byron.”
Neither the Yoris family nor Flora wanted Cora to be with Byron.
But Cora would not let things go as they expected.
In addition, as long as she was with Byron, Gabe’s affairs could be solved easily.
But she didn’t know if Byron would reject her.
