Chapter 27 Angry with Him


    Chapter 27 Angry with Him


    Carter led Cora to an exclusive lounge, which had been specially built ording 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,ing frompletely 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 gazended on the man sitting in the innermost part of the lounge. Byron was dressed in a


    ck suit, blending seamlessly with the room''s ck 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.


    Recalling 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 tobo 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 herposure, Byron''s voice resonated from above her head. "Mhm,


    it''s better for you to go back. You shouldn''t havee here."


    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 havee to this ce.


    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 tomence, 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 exims 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 stic surgery? They removed her angel wings wlessly!"


    "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 ttered 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 bitch


    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 rtionship 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 rece 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 Corapletely.


    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?"
