Filed To Story: Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband Book (Cora & Byron)
Even without Byron’s words, he would have seriously investigated that.
Indeed, the incident happened on the first day Cora came to the Cooper Villa as Tyler’s girlfriend, which inevitably made one suspect that someone within the family might have been involved.
Having received Tyler’s solemn promise, the coldness in Byron’s eyes softened a bit. And he once again shifted his gaze onto Cora.
When Cora noticed him looking at her, she reluctantly smiled at him.
Seeing her smiling, Byron suddenly felt a bit uneasy in his heart.
He wanted to say something, but Eason and Lydia hurried over.
“Cora, are you alright? I heard that something happened to you, so I rushed over.”
He had been accompanying Lydia and Mia, along with other elders, in the courtyard when he suddenly heard about Cora’s accident. So, he rushed over to check on her.
Mia immediately caused a scene and forbade him from coming to see Cora at that moment.
However, he didn’t listen and insisted on confirming with his own eyes that Cora was safe before giving up. That angered Mia, and she almost cried on the spot.
Mia’s parents were also present then, and Lydia couldn’t ignore her. So, she had to assure Mia multiple times that she would scold Eason. Actually, she allowed Eason to come and see Cora briefly before taking him back to Mia.
Because of Cora’s actions, Lydia had to step in and handle the situation. Later, she would have to mediate with Mia’s parents. Consequently, Lydia couldn’t help but transfer her frustrations onto Cora.
“What’s the matter if you could stand still?”
Before Cora responded to Eason, she said ironically,
“You must make everyone know about a small matter because you are afraid that others will not know the relationship between you and Eason before?”
Cora could almost confirm that Lydia was using her as a punching bag, but she didn’t want to get entangled in their senseless battle. She was about to say something.
But Byron, who was on the side, spoke again,
“Even with her legs scratched up like that, you still think it’s nothing??”
After Byron made that remark, Lydia, Eason, Tyler, and Jane’s expressions all turned subtly complex.
Anyway, Lydia could be regarded as Byron’s older sister, so there is no need to confront her on that occasion.
Lydia’s expression was very bad.
But in the end, she still tried her best to maintain a smiling face.
“Byron, I’m just anxious to get Eason to go back to Mia.”
But such an explanation still failed to satisfy Byron.
He had a cold face, saying,
“You can take your son away if you want. There is no need to involve irrelevant people. It is not your son or others who are ashamed, but yourself!”
“I…
I’m sorry.”
Although it would be embarrassing to admit that she was wrong in front of Cora, Lydia really had no choice.
Recently, the Patton family collaborated with the Hansen family on a project that had been stuck with
Byron. So, if she angered him at that moment, there was a high possibility that the project would be at risk of falling through.
Eason couldn’t speak up to defend Lydia either because he was the one leading the project and needed to deliver results to impress other members of the Patton family.
As for Tyler, Jane, Sally, and Carter, they knew it was best not to meddle in other’s affairs.
Cora felt a bit puzzled. She hadn’t expected Byron to notice her injury, let alone get angry at Lydia because of it.
However, Byron disregarded Lydia’s apology and only glanced at Cora, saying,
“Since your leg is injured, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Cora had several wounds on her leg, with one seriously hurt, but she didn’t feel too much pain.
As Byron mentioned, the pain seemed to amplify several times instantly.
Because of that, she accepted Byron’s proposal.
Just like that, Byron and Cora left together, followed by Carter.
It wasn’t until the three of them disappeared from the birthday banquet that Sally murmured,
“I’m injured too. Why didn’t Mr. Hansen offer to take me to the hospital?”
As soon as she said that, the expressions of the other people present turned somewhat unpleasant.
Especially Jane and Eason.
Sally did intend to strike at Eason with her words. While she attacked Jane incidentally, given that Jane had previously convinced Cora to attend that kind of social gathering for Mia’s sake.
But soon, Sally found that Tyler’s complexion was not much better.
In fact, Tyler also wanted to send Cora to the hospital just now, but Byron took the first step, and Cora followed him and left without even refusing.
That made Tyler wonder if there was something unknown between Cora and Byron.
When Sally saw Tyler’s gloomy expression, she quickly changed her tone.
“Perhaps it’s because the Patton family feels guilty towards Cora, making Mr. Hansen, as her uncle, feel embarrassed. That’s why he is taking extra care of her. The generosity and demeanor of important figures are truly beyond us ordinary people throughout our entire lives!”
No matter what, in Sally’s eyes, Tyler was one of the few good suitors around Cora at the moment.
So, even if Cora had no intention of pursuing a relationship with Tyler, Sally didn’t want this good opportunity to be missed.
However, how much Tyler took to heart Sally’s words and how much others were relieved by them remained unknown.
Cora had been sent to a nearby hospital by Byron.
After the doctor finished examining, he said,
“These wounds are not deep, but some glass shards are still inside. I need to clean it up for you. It may be very painful.”
“It’s okay. I can hold back.”
Although Cora said so, the doctor couldn’t help teasing her when he saw her delicate appearance, saying,
“Even if you can’t help it, you can grab your husband.”
Cora was stunned for a moment and quickly explained,
“He is not my husband.”
“If he is not your husband, is he your boyfriend?”
The doctor then added,
“He looks more nervous than you. A good-looking guy who knows how to take care of you like this. You should seize the opportunity to make things official with him.”
Cora opened her mouth, wanting to clarify on behalf of Byron. She felt that he probably wouldn’t want people to misunderstand their relationship or think that he was worried about her.
Before she could make a sound, Byron stretched out his long arms.
“Grab it.”
Cora was speechless.
In the end, she didn’t explain anymore, because the doctor had already started to clean up the debris in the wound.
That process was really painful.
So, on their way back, Byron’s arm was scratched with several red marks.
Byron looked at the red marks on his arm with a casual expression.
“What will others think of what we just did when they saw these?”
They were all adults. It was certainly that Cora knew what Byron’s words refer to.
She suddenly felt a burning on her face.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Carter is still ahead!”
Although Carter surely knew that the relationship between Cora and Byron was not clear, she was still not used to sharing these things.
But she didn’t expect that Carter, a cat’s-paw, replied the moment her voice finished,
“I didn’t hear anything.”
Then, he directly raised the baffle between the front seat and the rear seat.
Cora was speechless.
Then Byron put the scratched arm in front of Cora.
“Tell me, what should I do?”
Cora suspected that he was flirting with her, but there was no evidence.
She replied in a serious manner,
“I have medicine. I will put some on you later.”
Byron took his arm back again.
“No, it’s not the first time you’ve caught me. I’ve been worse than this before.”
Cora didn’t know what to say.
This situation definitely went wild.
But she couldn’t get out of this.
If she didn’t speak, she couldn’t stop Byron.
“Actually, it’s easy. It looks like you’ve done something. You just need to be fully implemented.”
When he said this, he suddenly grabbed her hand and played with it.
She didn’t know if it was because of some hidden intentions in what he said just now. Cora felt that hand seemed to be on fire.
She hastily broke free from Byron’s big palm, but the latter was persistent and quickly grabbed it again.
