Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Cora had not yet gotten over the shock of meddling in someone else’s relationship, and her mind was a mess.
So, she couldn’t hear Jane’s words and even ignored Harry’s hand on her slender waist.
“My original date happened to have something to do today, so Cora came to help me.”
Harry looked at Cora with great interest.
“Do you know Jane?”
Cora still didn’t respond.
Jane was quite considerate and responded on behalf of Cora. She acted like she had not competed with Cora in the hospital at all.
“Dr. Lane is an intern at the First Hospital.”
Harry understood immediately.
“I remembered that Jane also got into the First Hospital recently. You are colleagues. Cora, why don’t you say hello?”
Seeing that Cora was not moving, he pinched her waist and forced her.
Cora came back to reality because of the pain.
“Mr. Hansen, Dr. Yoris, hello.”
While greeting, she strangled Harry’s hand on her waist.
She was not stupid, and when she calmed down, she knew that the reason why Harry specially brought her to this event, and the conversation between him and Jane just now, were all telling her not to want something that didn’t belong to her.
She still felt resentful because she had no idea that Byron had lied to her!
If she had known that this man had already engaged with someone else, she would not have bothered to have anything to do with him.
She was full of anger and resentment, and Harry pinched her…
Cora seemed to put her hand gently on Harry’s wrist.
In the next second, Harry felt pain.
He never expected that Cora, who looked so delicate and weak, could pinch him so painfully!
If it weren’t for his self-control, he would have embarrassed himself by now.
“I hope Dr. Lane will have a good time tonight.”
Jane responded to Cora with a smile, but she was dissatisfied with Harry’s hand leaving Cora’s body.
After all, this was an excellent opportunity to completely destroy Byron’s thoughts about Cora.
Jane couldn’t see why Harry let go, but it didn’t mean Byron couldn’t see it.
The coldness in his eyes subsided a bit. He nodded toward Cora and said,
“Go ask Carter to take you back first.”
As soon as these words came out, Harry and Jane frowned.
They finally came up with this scene, but Byron was going to stop it just like that.
Just when they were at a loss, Cora said with a slightly hoarse voice,
“I just arrived, and you are already so eager to kick me out.”
Harry and Jane looked at Cora at the same time and saw that Cora’s smile was still as charming as ever, but the redness in her eyes could not be concealed.
Harry felt a little proud because it seemed that his trick had worked.
Although Jane wasn’t sure about the relationship between Cora and Byron, seeing Cora’s obviously sad look, she felt much better and even found Harry a lot more pleasing to the eye.
The only thing she didn’t understand was why Byron’s tone suddenly dropped a little.
“If you want to have fun, let Carter accompany you. There’s no need to come here.”
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and it was fine for Carter to take his woman to have fun, but his tone was obviously different, which made people feel a little flattering for no reason.
But this doubt only lingered in Jane’s mind for a second. After all, she had never seen Byron flatter anyone, and in the whole city of New York, there was no one Byron needed to flatter.
And at this moment, Cora said,
“Mr. Hansen, you should just stay with your fianc?e. There is no need to worry about me. I haven’t been to this kind of occasion for a long time, and it’s good to experience it again today. Otherwise, it will be a waste of Mr. Cross’s kindness.”
When she finished speaking, she held Harry’s arms with a smile.
Everything did develop according to Harry’s plan, but he didn’t know if he was thinking too much, he always had a bad feeling.
Could it be because that Byron’s eyes towards him at this moment were more ruthless than ever?
But Harry didn’t take it seriously. After all, he had considered this situation in advance when he decided to help Jane.
“Then I’ll take Cora to dance now.”
Harry turned around and walked towards the dance floor with Cora.
When passing by Jane, Jane nodded politely at Cora, obviously feeling pleased by Cora calling her his fianc?e just now.
Cora also nodded in response to Jane, but her smile faded a bit.
On the dance floor, while Harry danced with his arms around Cora’s waist, his heart was already distracted.
If it wasn’t for the relationship between her and Byron, he really wanted to take Cora home tonight…
“Are you satisfied?”
While Harry was having a sexy fantasy in his head, Cora suddenly asked.
Her voice was basically as soft and charming as before.
But if one listened to it carefully, it was a bit hoarse.
He looked down and found that Cora, who only had lipstick on, was even more beautiful than the other women in the banquet hall who had carefully dressed up for hours. Cora was looking at him with a smile.
“What?”
Harry’s brain hadn’t come back from his fantasy. He looked at the smile on Cora’s face, and he couldn’t figure out what she meant.
“Mr. Cross made so much effort to bring me here. Aren’t you just trying to tell me not to intervene between Mr. Hansen and Miss Yoris?”
“Cora, you are quite smart.”
Harry couldn’t help sighing in his heart. As expected of a young lady from a famous family, she was more elegant and intelligent than those vulgar influencers who signed contracts with his company.
“Mr. Cross, were you satisfied just now?”
“Of course.”
Harry smiled.
He had to admit that the more he got in touch with Cora, the more interesting he felt that the soul of this charming woman was.
“In fact, there are many rich and powerful men who are still single. There is no need to entangle with
Byron, who is already engaged. Your reputation will be ruined if people find out. Byron doesn’t even talk much. How boring is it to be with him? A beauty like you should find someone rich and caring, who will say sweet things to make you happy…”
Having said so much, Harry almost just said his name directly.
Cora replied with a smile,
“Mr. Cross, I just want to make money now! I’m not looking for a man.”
Although she hadn’t been in love for a long time, Harry’s gaze on her was so direct that his thoughts were basically written on his face.
If she still couldn’t understand what he was thinking, she must be blind.
Harry was not annoyed when he was rejected, and he just took out his phone with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter if you are not interested now. Give your WhatsApp first. If one day you want to be with a man while making money, please feel free to contact me.”
With Harry’s identity and power, Cora couldn’t reject him too directly.
So, she didn’t reject Harry this time, took out her phone, and gave him her WhatsApp.
It was just that the two had just finished when a male voice sounded beside them…
“Miss Lane, may I have a dance with you?”
Cora and Harry both turned their heads and saw Carter standing beside them.
Under the black glasses frame, his poker face was as expressionless as ever.
“Did Byron ask you to come?”
Harry only glanced at Carter and then looked up at Byron, who was at the bar area.
He was holding a wine glass and chatting with several people, including Jane’s parents.
But most of the time, those few people were talking, and Byron only responded occasionally.
Maybe their gazes were too obvious, and Byron suddenly glanced over.
There was a little alienation and indifference in his deep eyes. When his eyes met Harry, they were a little more piercing.
Harry met his gaze. Even if Carter didn’t respond to him, he knew the answer.
“Okay. You can dance with Cora first, and I’ll talk to Byron.”
Harry also deliberately shook the phone to Cora.
“Cora, feel free to contact me anytime if you change your mind.”
Cora didn’t respond and just smiled.
As soon as Harry left, she smiled apologetically,
“Carter, I’m sorry. I have to go to the ladies’ room.”
She had never been someone who could be manipulated by others easily.
“It’s okay.”
Carter actually didn’t want to dance with Cora, but someone’s possessiveness was so strong that he didn’t want to see Cora and Harry dance together, so he asked Carter to come over.
