Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
“What do you want to see me about, Mr. Cross?”
Cora looked. Harry’s gaze made her feel uncomfortable.
“There is a charity dinner tonight, and I have no female companion. Cora, can you attend the dinner with me?”
Harry smiled and invited Cora.
Cora thought for a while before speaking,
“I’ve been busy in the hospital all day, and I’m tired. I can’t behave well tonight. Mr. Cross, I’m afraid I have to let you down.”
An old saying was,
“Be aware of being harmed by others.”
Cora didn’t think her relationship with Harry was close enough to attend the dinner together. In addition, her intuition told her that Harry had other motives for asking her to go to the charity dinner with him.
However, Harry seemed to have expected her decline. He maintained his smile.
“Don’t be so quick to refuse me. Cora, don’t you wonder what Byron has been doing these days?”
Cora frowned slightly.
Her reason told her that she should be clearheaded. She was nothing to Byron. Everything he did these days had nothing to do with her.
But the suppressed expectation in her heart made her lose her head. Finally, she got into Harry’s car.
This charity dinner was held in the top luxury hall of Priscila Hotel, a landmark building in New York.
Harry took Cora to do styling and change clothes. It took some time.
When they entered the hall, the charity dinner hadn’t reached the auction stage, but most guests had already arrived.
In the glorious hall, the guests were all well-dressed. They held wine glasses and talked,
“Mr. Cross, nice to meet you.”
“Mr. Cross, I heard that the Cross Group also donated a lot of treasures tonight.”
The Donald family was one of four prominent families in New York. Harry had already taken over most of the Cross Group’s business. So many people took the initiative to greet him.
When Harry and Cora entered the banquet hall, many people came up to talk to him.
Harry smiled.
“You are flattering me. They are just some worthless gadgets.”
Cora wore a white sequin dress and stood beside Harry. She was so beautiful, which made her become the focus for them to flatter him.
“Mr. Cross, is this your new girlfriend? She’s so beautiful.”
This sequin dress was not revealing, but there was an indescribably seductive aura in Cora’s body, which aroused the interest of many men present.
“Is she a new contracted Internet celebrity in your company? Mr. Cross, she is really a stunner, and she can become a famous star.”
“Why does she look so familiar?”
Cora’s appearance was famous in the rich young men’s circle of New York, especially among those who liked to find intimacy. Even if they hadn’t seen Cora in person, they had seen a lot of candid photos of her.
So, someone quickly recognized her.
“Isn’t this Eason’s former fianc?e?”
“She just broke up with Eason and immediately hooked up with Mr. Cross?”
“Mr. Cross, how much money you spent to get her?”
Harry didn’t speak or deny it. Cora also felt the changes in the surrounding people’s gazes.
She used to be a noble lady. Everyone admired and respected her. But today, in their eyes, she was a woman who could give up her self-esteem for money.
Such a big psychological gap made her feel the coldness. Her face paled a little.
Harry noticed her helplessness. She looked like a drowning person who was struggling for life. He ignored her cruelly, like someone who stood on the shore and watched the drowning person struggling in the water indifferently.
He didn’t want to take her here and put her in such a dilemma if he had other methods. After all, she was so beautiful.
But when he thought Jane asked him to have a drink together last night, and how she asked him about
Cora’s news with anxiety in her eyes, he had no choice but to be cruel to Cora.
Jane drank a little more last night. Her face blushed in drunk, but it couldn’t hide the helplessness and tears in her eyes. Harry still remembered what she asked him.
“Harry, have you ever heard the name Cora?”
Harry remembered that his heart was in his mouth at that moment.
“How do you know her?”
He was worried that Jane had already known the relationship between Byron and Cora, and he was also concerned that Jane would break up with Byron.
But Jane told him,
“She is Carter’s woman, but I think Byron seems to care too much about her.”
Although Harry didn’t know how Jane misunderstood that Cora was Carter’s woman, he was grateful for this misunderstanding.
“Don’t worry. With the current situation of the Lane family, Cora won’t be able to marry Carter or has a further relationship with Byron.”
But Jane didn’t listen to his persuasion.
She cried to him drunkenly.
“But Harry, I always felt that Byron was leaving away from me.”
At that moment, Harry’s heart softened.
So, no matter what, he would help Jane tonight. He would let Cora know her position and make her stop thinking about these things that would never belong to her.
But Cora didn’t know Harry’s plan. She heard the guests’ discussion and realized that she was impulsive tonight. She shouldn’t have come to this kind of occasion again.
“Mr. Cross, I’ll leave first.”
After saying that, Cora wanted to leave, but Harry grabbed her.
“Wait. Byron has arrived. Look…”
Cora looked in the direction Harry pointed and saw Byron. The man she hadn’t seen for a few days was coming.
He wore suit and leather shoes. He was handsome and noble. As soon as he appeared, he attracted everyone’s attention.
Jane held his arm and walked in from the banquet hall entrance. They looked like a perfect match. The guests surrounded them and complimented them.
Those noisy and lively voices seemed to come from another time and space.
Harry’s words remained in Cora’s ears.
“Cora, that’s Byron’s fianc?e. Are they a destined couple?”
Hearing Harry’s deep and magnetic male voice, Cora’s heart skipped a beat.
In a trance, she remembered when she mistakenly answered Byron’s call that day.
“Is that your girlfriend?”
“I don’t have a girlfriend.”
Byron’s answer at that time was still engraved in her mind, and it was because of this that she had those thoughts that she shouldn’t have.
But now she realized how wrong she was.
He did not have a girlfriend, but he had a fianc?e.
Because of Mia, she had always hated the act of meddling in others’ relationships.
But now she was doing the same thing and had become the kind of person she hated the most!
It was also at this moment that she and Byron’s eyes met unexpectedly.
Cora’s eyes were very red, filled with anger and accusations of being deceived.
As for Byron, there was a momentary surprise in his eyes when their eyes met. His eyes soon fell on
Harry and narrowed slightly…
Harry didn’t seem to think it was a big deal, and facing Byron’s gaze, he put his hand on Cora’s slender waist.
“Byron and Jane saw us. Let’s go over and say hello.”
He leaned close to Cora’s ear and whispered, acting intimate.
Many people just regarded this scene as the interaction between Harry and his date, including Jane.
When Jane saw Cora’s appearance, she knew she had made the right decision last night, and Harry helped her again.
But seeing Harry and Cora’s intimate behaviors, she still felt a little nauseated.
After all, he was still not as good as Byron. He could get his hands on any kind of woman.
But a top socialite like her would never show her emotions on her face unless necessary.
When Harry came to them with Cora in his arm, Jane had already put on a polite smile.
“Harry, the items you donated are all of great value. My parents just said that they would personally thank you for your support of this charity auction of the Yoris family.”
“I think if they want to thank someone, they should thank Byron. I heard that Byron donated a lot of valuable objects tonight, including a fine set of china.”
Harry responded to Jane and took a special look at Cora at the same time. Then, he teased,
“But it seems that there is no need to thank him. You two are almost becoming a family, so there is no need to be too polite to him.”
Byron didn’t pay attention to him, and his slightly piercing eyes were fixed on Harry’s hand on Cora’s waist.
Harry felt his piercing eyes, but for the future of Jane and Byron, he could only grit his teeth and keep holding Cora’s waist.
Jane glanced at Byron shyly and then turned her surprised eyes on Cora.
“Dr. Lane, why are you with
Harry?”
