Chapter 205


    Chapter 205 Like Your Money


    "Just keep an eye on Gabe''s situation and try to get him out in the next couple of days."


    Byron instructed when he returned to the Hansen mansion in the evening. Now, he seemed and


    sounded as normal as usual.


    But when Carter heard his instructions, he couldn''t help but nce at him. "Is everything settled?"


    Byron didn''t answer, only saying, "Once Gabe is released, transfer 33 million dors from my personal


    ount to him."


    Gabe was quite capable, and that amount of money would be enough for him to make a fresh start.


    In this way, Cora would also have a better future. At the very least, she wouldn''t be looked down upon


    wherever she went.


    They had a peaceful breakup, which saved both of their dignity.


    However, Carter seemed to have detected something. Suddenly, he sighed emotionlessly. "You liked


    her and protected her wholeheartedly, yet she was only interested in your money."


    As expected, Byron''s indifferent expression instantly turned sour.


    His gaze, fixed on Carter, resembled that of a predator lurking in the shadows, ready to hunt its prey.


    Carter felt as if he had identally found out the truth. He hurriedly said, "I''ll go transfer the money."


    With that, he fled as quickly as possible.


    As for Byron, he started smoking again, as if the nicotine alone could temporarily soothe the


    restlessness within him, restraining the urge to turn back...


    ...


    After Byron left, Cora tried tofort herself, saying, "It''s not a big deal. You were living on your own


    before he came into your life."


    Moreover, this was her second heartbreak. Having experienced one before, she should handle it better


    this time.


    Then Cora began to organize the empty space in her wardrobe after Byron had taken away his clothes.


    She filled it with various items, but even after filling every nook and cranny, she couldn''tpletely fill


    the emptiness in her heart.


    The feeling of losing almost drove her mad.


    She even ate a lot, hoping to fill that empty corner within herself.


    But as she ate, the table was gradually stained by water.


    When she touched her face, she realized that tears were already streaming down her cheeks.


    Frustrated, she violently pushed away the food and broke down in hysterical sobs.


    She didn''t understand why breaking up with Byron, after only being together for a few months, felt more


    difficult than parting ways with Eason after several years.


    This heart-piercing feeling was really torturing.


    So, Cora rummaged through the fridge until she found the beer she and Byron had bought at the


    supermarket a few days before Christmas. She drank until she waspletely wasted.


    In her drunken haze, she seemed to see Byron again.


    "I''ve never liked someone so much, but it seems that this kind of affection means nothing to you.


    "I did want to be with you, even wanted to have your baby. But you don''t want me anymore.


    "Since you''re so heartless, then I won''t like you anymore..."


    Tears slowly trickled down her face.


    ...


    Sally finally returned from her hometown, Kinton.


    When she bumped into Cora in the office, she couldn''t help but share the interesting stories that had


    happened during the Christmas holiday.


    "I told my mom that I bought this bag for 3 dors on Amazon, but she didn''t believe me. I n to buy


    one and send it back to herter, so we can both have matching bags."


    Sally was typical of a Taurus girl, known for being frugal and spending every penny wisely.


    After sharing many things, Sally noticed that Cora seemed a bit slow and had a bitter smile.


    "Cora, what''s wrong? Are you feeling down or..."


    "I broke up," Cora interrupted.


    After a night of hysterical crying, she woke up in the morning to find the city bustling as usual. She went


    to the hospital as she always did, diligently helping patients despite feeling heartbroken.


    This was perhaps what they called the process of bing mature. She had to mute herself even


    while crying.


    But when friends showed concern, it was hard for her not to mention it.


    "You broke up? Did you bring it up or did Mr. Pope?"


    Sally, unaware of Cora''s involvement with Byron, still assumed it had something to do with Carter.


    Cora rubbed her throbbing temple, feeling the effects of her hangover. "Let''s just say I brought it up."


    Byron was about to get engaged, but he didn''t say anything and simply didn''te to see her.


    And she didn''t want to keep someone else''s fiancé.


    "Cora, it''s okay. You won''t meet a better man without getting rid of what you have."


    This is what Cora liked most about Sally. When Cora felt miserable, Sally wouldn''t dig deeper and force


    her to expose her bleeding wounds.


    "Tonight, I''ll take you out to have some fun. It''s just a man, right? There are countless choices out


    there!"


    "I''m afraid that the one I like will once again be someone else''s fiancé." Cora felt that her


    emotional wound might never be healed.


    "Well, well. That sounds so tempting. I mean, think about it! Sleeping with a man who''s going to marry

    another woman!" Sally smiled wickedly.


    Cora couldn''t help butugh at Sally''s words, feeling that her emotional wound had healed a bit. She


    agreed to go out with Sally at night.
