He said,
“Isidra, he already has a family of his own, and his wife is also the one who saved your life. Don’t you have a sense ofremorse toward your own conscience?”
Isidra’s voice was almost hoarse.
“I knew you would say this! She did save me, and I’m indebted to her. But they are divorced and didn’t remarry!”
In the past, as long as she cried, Vaughn would give in no matter what.
But Vaughn didn’t back down today because he didn’t want her to become the subject of everyone’s spurning.
“It’s true that they haven’t remarried yet, but you can see that they are more affectionate than any married people now, and they also have a child. It is immoral if you still insist on getting in their way!”
It was the first time Vaughn spoke harshly to Isidra, and she burst into tears on the spot.
She sobbed,
“I know that, but I can’t control my feelings.”
“You can’t control your feelings, but you can control your behavior. Leave New York with me now, and we’ll never step in here again. No matter how unforgettable the feelings are, it will fade with time.”
Vaughn gently stroked Isidra’s hair. He was her elder brother, and he was also obliged to teach her to be a good person.
“Let’s go home.”His gentle whispers eventually made Isidra recover from her sudden outburst, and she finally calmed down.
With eyes full of tears, she said,
“But I haven’t given him the gift.”
“Leave the gift, and we’ll go.”
Isidra still couldn’t bring herself to accept it.
But she knew she couldn’t do anything under Vaughn’s nose.
Afterward, she put the gift in the gifts drop zone and left.
But before she left, she was still resentfully thinking that she would definitely win Byron’s heart, no matter what means she used!
At the same time, Georgia just happened to be called to the gifts drop zone to deal with some matters, and Efren stayed by her side the whole time while carrying Martin.
When Georgia had dealt with the matter and was about to leave, she found a familiar gift box in the gifts drop zone…
Georgia picked up the gift box and turned it over in her hands.
When Efren saw that, he stepped forward and asked,
“What’s wrong? Do you like this box?”
“No, I remember seeing this box before.”
Georgia actually remembered that when she and Isidra were choosing cufflinks in the jewelry store last time, the pair of diamond cufflinks that Isidra chose was wrapped in the same box as this.
“All gift boxes look roughly the same,”
Efren said.
“No, this one is different.”
What Georgia meant was the ribbon tied on the top of the gift box.
This gift box was initially adorned with a sapphire blue ribbon, but Isidra said the ribbon did not look luxurious enough for this box, so she especially bought a smog blue ribbon for hundreds of dollars to redecorate it.
And the decorative ribbon on the gift box in Georgia’s hands now was exactly the same smog blue ribbon.
Furthermore, her sixth sense also told her that Isidra was the onewho brought this gift.
But when Isidra was choosing the pair of diamond cufflinks at that time, she looked so serious, as if she wanted to choose a gift for her fianc?.
Yet this gift now appeared in Georgia’s uncle’s birthday gifts drop zone.
Georgia abruptly thought of something, then she immediately tore off the ribbon and opened the gift box.
Just as she expected, what lay inside was the pair of diamond cufflinks that Isidra had chosen before!
“Why are you unwrapping your uncle’s present?”
Efren asked casually when he saw Georgia unwrapping the gift box.
After all, in a family like the Hansen family, anyone could receive tons of valuable gifts on their birthdays.
They wouldn’t take these gifts seriously at all, and would even occasionally donate them as gifts for charity activities.
So if Georgia really liked it and opened all of Byron’s presents, Byron would surely say nothing.
But soon, Efren noticed that Georgia’s face was as white as a sheet.He instantly didn’t care whether there were any familiar people around and hurriedly grabbed Georgia’s shoulders, asking,
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Georgia was still staring at the pair of cufflinks in her hands absentmindedly.
“I’m not feeling unwell. It’s just that…
I seem to have brought disaster upon myself.”
Before this, she still wondered why Isidra stayed so shamelessly in the Hansen Mansion for so long when Isidra obviously didn’t like her.
It was certainly not to save on hotel fees while staying in New York!
Was it because of the tranquil and comfortable environment around the Hansen Mansion? Or to have more chances to see Cora, the person who saved her life?
But now, Georgia realized that she was totally mistaken!
It turned out that Isidra was only targeting Byron from the very beginning!It was no wonder Isidra also whined to eat supper when she saw Byron eating supper, as she had always frowned upon the mention of supper before.
It was also no wonder Isidra suddenly became interested in visiting the jewelry store after Georgia mentioned Byron’s birthday, as she was so unwilling to go with Georgia before.
The more Georgia thought about it, the more disgusted she felt, and the more she felt so sorry for Cora.
On the other hand, Efren was totally clueless.
“Bringing disaster upon yourself? What do you mean?”
At this time, the emcee was announcing the start of the birthday banquet.
Efren could only say,
“Honey, let’s go in first, okay? You can tell me in detail later.”
He vowed not to easily let go of whoever dared to scare his sweetheart like this.
But Georgia said,
“I have to talk to Aunt Cora first. You can go inside with Martin first. I’ll be there soon.”
“Georgia…”
Efren wanted to persuade her, but Georgia had shaken off his hand and walked toward the backstage of the banquet.
Meanwhile, Cora was currently backstage, helping Byron fix his tie.
Cora said helplessly,
“How old are you? Can’t you fix your tie yourself that you have to make me come over?”
Today, both the Hansen family and the Yoris family were present.
Even her elder brother, Gabe, and his wife’s family were also invited.
Cora hadn’t seen Gabe for a while, and she hadn’t even had a good chat with him when Byron said he would give a speech on the stage later and insisted on asking her to come over to help with dressing.
Byron pouted.
“You always help Martin to wear his clothes before he goes to kindergarten, so why can’t you do it for me, too?
Do you dislike me now just because someone gave you a scar cream?”
Cora immediately understood that this person was still angry because of that scar cream.
“The scar cream didn’t even offend you! Besides, the situation.
would be very awkward if I didn’t accept that scar scream!”
Then Cora couldn’t help pinching Byron’s waist.
“Don’t act like a three-year-old, will you? Even Martin is more sensible than you!”
Byron quickly pressed down her hand.
“Why do I have to be sensible? Anyway, you are not allowed to use that scar cream.”As the two were bickering, Georgia ran over in a panic.
“Uncle Byron, Aunt Cora…”
Cora and Byron simultaneously turned their heads, and upon seeing Georgia’s pale face, they stopped their banter and walked toward her.
Byron asked,
“What’s wrong?”
Cora stepped forward to feel the temperature of her forehead.
“What happened? Why are you looking like this?”
But Georgia hurriedly pushed her hand away.
“Aunt Cora, I have something to tell you.”
Cora immediately looked at Byron, motioning for him to leave first.
But Byron didn’t leave and just scowled at them.
“Do you two still have something I can’t listen to?”
Cora hurriedly pushed Byron away.
“Aren’t you going to give a speech on the stage? Just go first.”
Byron had no choice but to shoot Georgia a look.
“Remember, don’t be too long.”
