The waiter outside the restaurant hurriedly went to Harry’s private room to inform him.
Holding 99 red roses, Harry walked out of the room.
Coincidentally, he stood not far from Byron and Cora’s table.
Shortly, Jane entered the restaurant.
After being rejected by Byron two days ago when asking for his help, she had sought solace in Harry.
As always, Harry was there for her, and he even took her to his apartment.
Later that night, the two of them shared drinks and slept together.
Therefore, Jane suspected that Harry wanted to propose to her today.
As the waiter led her towards Harry, Jane felt nervous and uneasy. She was still unwilling to spend the rest of her life with Harry.
But at that moment, she accidentally spotted a familiar figure that made her heart race.
It was Byron!
It was really him!
He was the man she had admired since her teenage years.
But to her annoyance, Cora was right next to him.
They were laughing and talking, looking so beautiful together, but such a loving scene only irritated
Jane even more.
So, the idea that sprouted after being rejected last time popped up again.
When Harry got down on one knee to propose to her, Jane glanced at Byron not far away.
“I do,”
she tearfully responded to Harry’s proposal. He excitedly slipped the engagement ring onto her finger and hugged her tightly.
They said that a man always yearned for what he couldn’t have.
So Jane believed that Byron must regret that he had let her go.
With such expectation, Jane looked at Byron eagerly…
The whole process of the proposal was actually quite lively.
Cora, while eating the food Byron had ordered for her, secretly observed the entire proposal and unexpectedly met Jane’s gaze filled with deep affection and sorrow.
“Your old flame still can’t let go of you. She accepted someone else’s proposal, yet shamelessly gave you that look.”
Cora glanced at Byron with a forced smile.
He smirked and replied,
“Yeah, but she’s not as good as you. We’re already married, yet you even received caring messages from your lover last night.”
Speaking of last night, Cora instantly felt guilty and embarrassed.
Tyler went abroad for further studies after learning about Byron and Cora getting married.
Yesterday, he returned home on vacation, and somehow someone informed him about Cora fracturing her ribs at Nora’s birthday party. Concerned, he immediately called her late at night.
Unfortunately, Cora and Byron had just finished a round of ultimate pleasure and were enjoying the aftertaste.
Thus, Byron overheard Tyler’s urgent and worried tone during the phone call.
Although Byron didn’t get involved in the conversation, after the call ended, he became even more relentless in his actions, leaving Cora exhausted and limp.
Cora had thought that this matter would come to an end after their passionate encounter.
However, to her surprise, Byron brought it up again at this moment, making her feel a bit guilty.
Seeing Byron’s cold face, she approached and sat beside him, hugging his arm.
“In that case, we’re even,”
she said.
Byron remained icy and asked,
“Even in what sense?”
Cora exaggeratedly sighed,
“Ah, our charm is evenly irresistible!”
Byron was amused and pinched her cheek.
“Alright, eat your food! Afterward, hurry back home and let me experience that irresistible charm of yours!”
Cora instantly understood his intentions.
And everyone still thought Byron was so aloof and restrained. Huh! It was just an illusion!
As they playfully ignored everyone else, Jane watched from a distance, her fingertips deeply embedded in her palm.
She didn’t believe that Byron truly didn’t care about her. After all, she had been by his side for so many years, something no other socialite had experienced.
There were more beautiful and sophisticated socialites in New York than her.
If it weren’t for her special place in Byron’s heart, she wouldn’t have had a chance to get close to him.
So Byron must care about her. He just didn’t dare to show it.
While Jane comforted herself, Harry, who was holding her, also noticed her gaze fixed on a certain spot.
Following Jane’s gaze, he saw the two people dining in the distance.
After a brief moment of surprise, he casually suggested to Jane,
“Jane, Byron and Cora are here having dinner. Let’s go say hello.”
In fact, he knew that Jane couldn’t let go of Byron, so he wanted to indirectly put an end to her feelings for him.
However, Jane desperately wanted a chance to observe Byron up close and find evidence of his regret.
Upon hearing his suggestion, she immediately agreed.
“Sure, let’s go say hello. It would be impolite not to greet familiar faces.”
They approached Byron’s table together.
“Byron, having dinner with Mrs. Hansen?”
Harry addressed Cora as
“Mrs. Hansen,”
surprising yet seeming reasonable.
Jane found his words piercing, and her teeth almost broke through her lip.
But still, she continued to stare at Byron, hoping to catch a glimpse of the signs she was looking for.
However, under Jane’s gaze, Byron simply smiled and said,
“I just witnessed your proposal.
Congratulations.”
He showed no attachment, casually offering his blessings.
He didn’t even spare a glance for Jane throughout the entire encounter.
At that moment, Jane tasted the metallic tang of blood in her mouth, and her world seemed to shatter into pieces.
The motivation that had driven her forward until now suddenly vanished, leaving her feeling empty.
If it wasn’t for Harry supporting her, she feared she would have already slumped to the ground, let alone speak to Byron.
Cora followed suit, exclaiming with joy and politely saying,
“Remember to invite us to your wedding.”
“Of course, Cora. Today’s expenses are on me. I wish you and Byron a pleasant evening.”
After receiving Cora’s nod, Harry turned to other guests in the restaurant and said,
“Today, all of your expenses are on me. Thank you all for witnessing my proposal.”
Upon hearing Harry’s words, the guests clapped and cheered, expressing their blessings.
With Harry’s generosity, the atmosphere in the restaurant became exceptionally cheerful.
Jane’s desolate and helpless appearance seemed out of place amidst the lively ambiance.
Later, Harry led Jane away.
Cora had eaten a bit too much today and felt a little stuffed.
As they left the restaurant, she even suggested,
“Let’s take a walk. We both ate a lot.”
“No need. I know a better way to aid digestion.”
“What is it?”
“I’ll tell you when we get home!”
Cora followed Byron home in confusion, only to be taken directly to the bathroom to vent his desire. It was then she realized she had been fooled.
By the time early morning arrived, she was exhausted, having used up her energy from earlier, and she even felt a bit hungry.
She had to send Byron out to buy late-night snacks while she leaned against the edge of the bed, dozing off.
But then she suddenly received a message from Gabe. Cora opened it and read what he had sent:
[Cora, I’ve obtained evidence that Mr. Hansen caused our family to go bankrupt. I’m going back to New
