Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
The orders that were currently sustaining the company’s operations were based on the long-standing cooperation with clients, who had chosen not to terminate contracts for the time being.
But if the Yoris Group’s reputation didn’t turn around, there was a fear of even those old clients being unable to be retained.
The Yoris Group’s business was not doing well, and Arnold feared that the century-old legacy might be ruined. As a result, he became stricter in his demands on Jane.
Jane might have been spoiled, as she always felt that Arnold was nitpicking and finding faults with her.
“Grandpa, I didn’t buy anything. Why do you always say I’m at fault for everything?”
“Didn’t buy anything? Then what’s in your hand?”
William was displeased with his daughter’s defiance towards Arnold, so he scolded her as well.
“I don’t know. I’ve never bought anything online.”
Jane was also puzzled, but on the delivery receipt, her name and phone number were indeed written.
After hesitating for a moment, Jane opened the package but was startled and quickly threw the contents away. She ran to Arnold’s side to seek shelter.
“What’s wrong?”
“What scares you like this?”
Despite both men scolding Jane, she was, after all, the beloved treasure they had doted on for over twenty years.
Seeing how frightened she was, Arnold quickly hugged Jane while William swiftly stepped forward to examine the package.
He was indeed startled by what he saw.
Because inside the package was the almost mutilated body of a dead rat, accompanied by a chilling message written in blood: [Jane, you will end up just like this rat!]
“Quickly take these things outside and burn them, then clean up this place. Disinfect the entire mansion.”
William quickly came to his senses and promptly asked the butler to handle the delivery.
But as soon as the house was disinfected, the doorbell rang again.
“Miss Yoris’ delivery again?”
The butler was clearly scared by the dead rat earlier, and now he was also reluctant to handle the delivery.
“Why won’t these people stop? It’s clear that Cora stole my fianc? first, so why are they treating me like this?”
Jane’s emotions were getting out of control. She knew that this was the result of those people on the
Internet venting their anger on behalf of Cora.
Arnold also sighed repeatedly.
In the end, William stepped forward and said,
“Give it to me. I want to see what other tricks they have up their sleeves.”
But this time, there was nothing chaotic in the package. It only contained a court summons.
“It’s not a prank, but obviously worse than a prank. Byron has also filed a lawsuit against you.”
After hearing this, Jane was once again stunned and taken aback.
“Byron filed a lawsuit against me? All for the sake of Cora?”
“Yes, and that’s not the most challenging part. I heard that he used his connections to set up an online bullying investigation team in Kinton, and it’s likely to come to New York in a few days.”
That was also why William returned home in daylight to discuss countermeasures with Arnold.
“Once the investigation team arrives, they could revoke Jane’s medical license at the very least. And in the worst-case scenario, she might end up spending several years behind bars.”
As soon as William said those words, Jane’s legs gave out, and she fell to the ground.
“Don’t worry too much. Your grandpa and I will do our best to help you obtain Cora’s letter of forgiveness and reduce the punishment to the minimum.”
Seeing her sitting on the ground, pale-faced and distressed, William couldn’t help but console her.
Arnold also said,
“Even if you can no longer work as a cardiac surgeon in the future, you can explore other fields. I know an experienced traditional medicine practitioner who is currently looking for apprentices in New York. I’ll introduce you to him in a couple of days…”
Despite all the comforting words, Jane couldn’t listen to a single word.
She only wanted to get back at Cora. But she never thought she would jeopardize her promising future in the process…
When William and Arnold personally carried gifts and arrived at Cora’s ward, she was in the midst of a video call with Sally.
The day before Cora attended Nora’s birthday banquet, Sally happily accompanied her to choose a dress for the event. Sally even insisted on being Cora’s family during the banquet, supporting her all the way.
However, on that evening, she received a call from Kinton informing that her grandmother had fallen and needed surgery.
Sally was utterly devastated at that moment, crying her heart out in anguish.
Because her grandmother had raised her, she was closest to her.
As Grandma was going to have an operation, she was afraid there would be serious problems.
In addition to that, she also worried about Cora attending the Hansen family’s banquet alone, without any support, fearing that she might be taken advantage of or bullied.
Cora could only console Sally, saying,
“I won’t let anyone bully me. You should go to Kinton to see your grandma quickly. Besides, it’s just a banquet, nothing major. What’s more important is that you won’t be absent as my bridesmaid during my wedding.”
Later, Sally still took the nearest flight back to Kinton.
Little did she know that after her grandmother’s surgery and recovery, she received the news of Cora being pushed down the stairs by Sara. She was infuriated and even threatened, saying,
“I’ll have my mom take our private jet over there right now and pull off all Sara’s hair!”
In the end, Cora persuaded Sally in every possible way, reassuring her that she wasn’t facing any major issues, and urged her to take care of her grandmother first. Only then did Sally give up the idea of returning to New York immediately.
Soon, more than two months had passed, and Sally’s grandmother had almost fully recovered.
Sally was eager to return to New York and didn’t forget to inform Cora before her departure.
“Cora, this time I’ll go with my dad.”
“Mr. Charles Grey is also coming over? Is there anything going on?”
“Oh, there is, but I can’t tell you just yet.”
Sally appeared to be in a triumphant and self-satisfied manner.
At that moment, disregarding the bodyguards, Arnold and William forcefully entered Cora’s hospital room.
As Arnold and William were influential figures in New York and considering Arnold’s advanced age, the bodyguards were hesitant to use force, resulting in a heated argument that echoed through the room.
“Both of you, please leave for now. If you wish to see Mrs. Hansen, we will inform Mr. Hansen first.
Once he grants permission, we will allow you to pass.”
“We just want to speak with Dr. Lane for a few moments and then leave. It won’t take up much of your time.”
Arnold and William were determinedly walking towards the hospital room because the last time, the bodyguards had used a similar excuse to send them away, and then there was no further communication.
“Please don’t make things difficult for us…”
The bodyguards and the commotion caused by the argument between the bodyguards and Arnold and
Williams were quite noticeable. Sally also heard it on the other end of the video call.
“Cora, are those shameless people from the Yoris family causing trouble again?”
Sally intentionally raised her voice so that William and Arnold could hear her words.
As expected, when William and Arnold, who were dealing with the bodyguards, heard Sally describe them as shameless, their expressions became somewhat unpleasant.
They then turned their gaze towards Cora, seemingly waiting for her response and also exerting pressure on her to stop Sally from using such insulting words to describe them.
Unexpectedly, Cora smiled and said,
“Yeah, it’s them. They are really annoying…”
Cora directed her words towards Sally, but her gaze fell upon William and Arnold as if mocking them.
“Scum like them deserve to be taught a lesson by the investigators when they arrive,”
Sally said, her volume remaining unchanged.
“Little girl, no matter what the investigation team does, the foundation of our Yoris family remains strong, and they can’t cause any substantial harm. But your rotation assessment might not pass smoothly if you don’t know how to restrain yourself.”
Indeed, Arnold, being highly concerned about the reputation of the Yoris family, would not allow anyone to mock or ridicule them without consequences.
Recently, in order to persuade Cora to sign the letter of understanding, he thoroughly investigated all of
Cora’s connections and also learned about Sally.
However, with Sally’s Amazon-purchased outfit, they were too lazy to continue investigating her background.
And right then, a girl like Sally dared to sneer at them. If they didn’t handle the situation properly, and it became widely known, how could the Yoris family stand in New York in the future?
“Arnold, you didn’t stop at threatening Cora, and now you’re trying to threaten me? Fine, just wait for me. I’m heading back to New York to deal with all of you.”
In the midst of grumbling, Sally told Cora,
“I’ll have your back once I get back there.”
Then she hung up the phone.
“Your friend may not have much ability, but she certainly has an arrogant attitude.”
Seeing that Sally had ended the video call, Arnold even smiled at Cora.
Cora knew very well that Arnold probably intended to use Sally’s rotation performance to threaten her into signing the letter of understanding.
She smiled, saying,
“It didn’t bother you. What are you worrying about?”
Upon seeing the bodyguards still hesitant to leave, Cora said directly,
“It’s fine. They won’t dare to do anything to me. You all can leave for now. If Mr. Hansen asks about it later, just tell him that I allowed them to come in.”
If she didn’t let them in, they won’t stop that day and would come frequently in the future.
