"Miss Lane, are you okay?"
Carter approached Cora with concern as if he had no other matters to attend to.
"I... I''m fine,"
Cora hastily put the teacup down, pretending to wipe the water droplets off the back of her hand. But
deep down, she was shocked and flustered.
After tidying up, she said, "The tea is great. Thank you, Carter. But I should be going now."
With that, she left without even looking back or saying goodbye to Byron.
She left in such a hurry that it didn''t seem like she came specifically to see Byron but to ask Carter for a
cup of tea.
Byron coldly watched Cora as she left until her figurepletely disappeared from the door. Only then
did his indifferent gaze turn towards Carter.
Carter remained calm as he met Byron''s eyes, enduring the icy gaze that could almost turn into sharp
des.
After a moment, he still felt it was worth a try to salvage the situation. "I was just trying to help."
"Oh, so I should be thanking you?" Byron''s eyes glinted with a chilling light.
"You''re wee," Carter replied earnestly.
As expected, he saw the veins on Byron''s forehead bulge, an expression of uncontroble anger.
"I should put you in jail for this."
"No, sir, you can''t. I didn''t vite thew or any regtions of thepany." Carter tried hard to ignore
Byron''s furious look.
"Oh, don''t worry. If I truly want you to end up in jail, I''ll do everything to make that happen!"
But in the end, Byron wasn''t in the mood to continue arguing with Carter. He picked up the car keys
from the corner of the desk and hurriedly left the office.
The scene of Cora''s hand being burned red kept reying in his mind.
"There is a meeting in half an hour," Carter reminded from behind.
"Put it off."
In an eyeblink, Byron left the office as if his feet were on fire.
...
Cora didn''t know how she managed to leave the Hansen Group building.
The bright sunlight shone on her delicate face, but it couldn''t dispel the gloom in her heart.
She wandered the streets like a lost soul.
From the Hansen Group to her ce, it took her nearly three hours to arrive.
However, as she pushed open the door, she noticed that the man she hadn''t seen in this house for so
long was standing right in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
When Cora entered, Byron was on the phone, speaking while smoking.
"No need. I''ve found her."
He nced at her briefly, his deep eyes unable to reveal any emotions.
Then Byron hung up the phone and walked towards Cora.
Seeing his gloomy face, Cora didn''t want to make herself seem so miserable, so she hurriedly calmed
herself down.
"Isn''t this Mr. Hansen? Why are you here today?"
She greeted him with a smile, but her heart was filled with sorrow.
It seemed that their rtionship was finallying to an end.
"Don''t talk to me like that."
Byron stubbed out his cigarette butt. His voice was so hoarse that he didn''t sound like himself.
"But you''re going to be engaged to someone else, Mr. Hansen. I truly don''t know how I should talk to
you."
Then, Cora continued, "I said that I won''t take another woman''s fiancé in."
Byron could only feel a lump in his throat. He could only look nkly into her mesmerizing eyes, which
seemed to be filled with tears.
Cora was waiting during this suffocating silence, waiting for him to give her a reasonable exnation,
waiting for a chance to bring them back to their past.
Even if the reason Byron gave her was the most absurd lie in this whole world, she would still trust him
and love him until the very end, no matter what would be waiting for them in the future.
But in the end, Byron only said, "I''m sorry..."
Cora immediately understood that what Carter had said was true. Byron was getting engaged to a
woman. He would cherish her, have kids with her, spend the rest of his life with her, and let everyone
envy how affectionate they were. But, sadly, that woman was Jane.
As for Cora, she would no longer be in any part of his future.
