Chapter 245 Moonlit Gully


    Chapter 245 Moonlit Gully


    Byron''s voice was neither loud nor low, yet it carried an undeniable aura of authority, capturing


    everyone''s attention in the room.


    Byron''s gaze shifted from Cora to Chloe.


    It seemed Byron had already guessed that Cora was here to catch someone in the act.


    Byron thought of how Cora had fiercely defended the two-timing scoundrel in the past, belittling him


    and making him feel worthless. Byron had indeed inclined to turn a blind eye.


    However, Chloe''s relentless provocations and Lucas'' passivity made Byron reconsider his stance.


    He couldn''t bear to see Cora isted and mistreated anymore.


    Byron decided to intervene. He couldn''t help but feel that Cora deserved better treatment. As he spoke


    up in her defense, Jane couldn''t help but notice that his emotions towards Cora seemed far from


    resolved.


    Jane even began to suspect that if Cora and Lucas broke up today, Byron would attempt to rekindle his


    rtionship with her the next day.


    The thought shattered Jane''s good feelings and left her feeling restless...


    Chloe was surprised when she realized that apart from Lucas, someone was willing to stand up for


    Cora.


    What caught Chloe off guard was the extraordinary aura and demeanor of the man. It was rare for


    someone with such remarkable qualities within the prestigious Kintonmunity.


    Despite acknowledging this person''s excellence, Chloe was determined not to let Byron disrupt her


    ns.


    "We have many talented individuals in our Calligraphy Association, but it''s only because Dr. Lane and


    Mrs. Emily Quinn''s son are close that I wanted to test her," Chloe continued to pursue her objective.


    "Is it to test her for someone else''s sake, or is it just a means to achieve your personal goals? I believe


    anyone with a clear vision can see through it."


    Byron went straight to the point, risking offending the powerful Hurst family in Kinton without showing


    any regard for Chloe''s feelings.


    However, Chloe was not the one to back down easily and quickly found a counterattack. "Mr. Hansen,


    are you so protective of Dr. Lane because you have some hidden feelings for her?"


    Byron''s eyes simmered with anger, and there was a hint of an impending outburst.


    Jane sensed that Byron was on the verge of losing his temper, and his seemingly calm demeanor now


    had a touch of ferocity.


    At this moment, Jane was genuinely concerned that Byron might go to extreme lengths and publicly


    reveal their rtionship to retaliate against Cora.

    Lucas was also feeling a bit panicked. He was grateful that his arch-nemesis, Byron, had stepped in to


    help Cora at this critical moment.


    However, Lucas knew that if Byron exposed his rtionship with Cora, it would only make their delicate


    situation even more precarious.


    To everyone''s surprise, Cora seemed even less willing to let Byron reveal their past.


    So after a long silence, Cora suddenly spoke up, saying, "If Ms. Hurst wishes to see me make a fool of


    myself, then so be it!"


    "Cora, don''t fall into her trap." Lucas quickly realized and tried to stop Cora.


    Byron had finally managed to turn the situation around, and he didn''t want Cora to embarrass herself


    on stage.


    However, Cora faced Lucas with determination and said, "You still don''t understand me. I never shy


    away from challenges. I won''t just avoid them."


    Her eyes were bright and full of determination, no longer the shy gaze she had shared with Lucas


    before.


    Lucas felt uneasy witnessing the calmness in Cora''s eyes as they drifted away from him and settled on


    Byron.


    In a previous encounter, Byron had well-meaningly informed Cora about Lucas''s infidelity, but her


    response was far from appreciative as she confronted Byron about it. Nevertheless, despite the tense


    circumstances, Byron found it within himself to lend a helping hand to Cora.


    Cora was full of gratitude, yet she remainedposed and restrained.


    But Cora also knew that the more Byron supported her, the more she had to protect him from the


    exposure of their unsavory past. Revealing their previous connection could jeopardize Byron''s


    rtionship with Jane and his position in the Hansen family.


    Cora smiled at Byron. She broke free from Lucas''s grip and confidently went up on stage.


    A frown creased Byron''s forehead into a tight knot as he watched Cora walking to the stage.


    Observing the subtle exchange of nces between the two, Jane narrowed her eyes slightly.


    "Please prepare pen and paper for Dr. Lane," Chloe requested as she saw Cora take the stage, feeling


    her n was already halfway sessful.


    However, Cora surprised everyone when she spoke up. She demanded, "Prepare two sets, please."


    Chloe couldn''t help but frown. "Is Dr. Lane nning to showcase ambidextrous calligraphy?"


    "What''s wrong with that?" Cora met Chloe''s gaze with determination.


    "Ambidextrous calligraphy, a skill that many calligraphers aspire to master, writing with both hands


    simultaneously. Even our Calligraphy Association''s president, Mrs. Emily Quinn, has practiced for over


    ten years but has yet to demonstrate it to the public."


    Chloe was on the verge of directly asking Cora how she gained the audacity as an outsider to


    showcase such a skill among experienced calligraphers in the Calligraphy Association.


    In the audience, some members of the Calligraphy Association were already discussing it.


    "Can this woman perform ambidextrous calligraphy? It''s impossible! I''ve never seen anyone do it


    exceptionally well."


    "I think she''s just showing off!"


    Despite Chloe''s attempt to dissuade Cora with advice, Cora remained firm. "Her choices are her


    business, not mine."


    "Very well then, please have our staff prepare two sets of pen and paper," Chloe said, feeling that Cora


    was bluffing. Since Cora insisted, Chloe wouldn''t stop her.


    Soon enough, the staff brought the requested items to Cora.


    As everyone''s gaze focused on her hands, Cora held a pen in each hand and began to write


    simultaneously.


    She wrote in cursive with her left hand."I cast my gaze toward the moon,"


    And wrote in cursive with her right hand. "Yet the moon shines on the gutter."


    To everyone''s surprise, Cora''s pen strokes were solid and bold,pletely unrestrained...


    Almost everyone who witnessed this scene was amazed, including Chloe, who was astonished.
