Chapter 27 Angry with Him
Carter led Cora to an exclusive lounge, which had been specially built according to Byron’s
preferences, as the banquet
hall for this engagement party was also one of his properties.
With a little more thought, one should be able to deduce the connection between Cora and Byron.
Unfortunately, Eason
and the others believed that it was simply Carter overstepping his authority by using Byron’s lounge.
They believed that
Byron and Cora, coming from completely different worlds, would never cross paths.
“I’m not going in. My friend is still waiting for me,” Cora asserted.
“Mr. Hansen is inside,” Carter said.
Cora frowned. She really wanted to ask, ‘So?!’ But before she could utter a word, Carter pushed open
the door.
Cora’s gaze landed on the man sitting in the innermost part of the lounge. Byron was dressed in a
black suit, blending
seamlessly with the room’s black decor.
As he smoked, the cigarette between his fingers emitted a flickering glow, adding to his deep and cold
aura. His piercing
eyes fixated on Cora’s feet.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.netRecalling the indifference on Byron’s face in the hall, Cora had no desire to subject herself to further
humiliation.
“Mr. Hansen, I’m going back, I—”
Before she could finish speaking, Byron extinguished his cigarette and approached her, putting his
arms around her waist.
The faint scent of aftershave mixed with tobacco instantly surrounded Cora, causing her nose to
inexplicably sting.
Though she disliked physical contact like this, she couldn’t deny the allure of Byron’s aura, which
curiously put her at
ease.
Before Cora could fully regain her composure, Byron’s voice resonated from above her head. “Mhm,
it’s better for you to
go back. You shouldn’t have come here.”
Enter title…
Byron’s voice was lower and gentler, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor. People would probably
never believe that
Byron could speak to a woman in such a soft tone. Yet, Byron couldn’t figure out how his words could
have angered Cora.
The woman who had obediently stayed in his embrace moments ago suddenly pushed him away with
all her strength, her
voice filled with resentment. “Yes, indeed, I shouldn’t have come to this place. There’s no need to
humiliate myself here!”
Cora was almost hysterical. She resembled a cat with its fur standing on end, ready to fight anyone
who crossed her path.
Yet she was well aware that Byron was not someone she could afford to offend. Thus, without waiting
for Byron’s
response, Cora swiftly exited the lounge and returned to the banquet hall.

The engagement party was about to commence, and nearly all the guests had arrived.
As Cora gracefully passed through the crowd, making her way to Sally, she became a living
embodiment of a goddess in
the eyes of men. Their exclaims of admiration filled the air, while even the women who had surrounded
Mia showered
Cora with praise.
“That must be a runaway princess from a fairytale book!”
“I wonder who did her plastic surgery? They removed her angel wings flawlessly!”
Follow current on NovelEnglish.net“A face like hers could have secured 300 years of peace if she had been born in ancient times!”
The praises kept pouring in, as if everyone had forgotten how they had previously flattered Mia, who
couldn’t help but feel
that the praises for her were insincere.
Whenever Cora appeared, all eyes were drawn to her. ‘Even on my engagement day, that bi ch
manages to steal all the
attention that should rightfully be mine!’ Mia was furious.
She felt even more aggrieved when she thought of how Eason wouldn’t let her speak ill of Cora when
she told him about
Cora’s relationship with Carter.
At that moment, Mia really just wanted to break up with Eason.
However, as she recalled the years she had spent pursuing Eason, despite all the ridicule, Mia gritted
her teeth and
resolved to carry on. After all, she had worked tirelessly for so long to replace Cora and officially stand
by Eason’s side.
Mia clung to her determination, firmly believing that once today’s event concluded, she would rid
herself of Cora
completely.
Neither Cora nor Sally noticed the hatred in Mia’s eyes.
Sally couldn’t wait to gossip with Cora. “How did it go? Did Eason regret it?”
