Chapter 404


    Chapter 404 What Took You So Long?


    Byron returned to the Morwick Mansion''s guest room in the early morning.


    Carter followed him back to fetch the documents that needed to be dealt with tomorrow morning before


    going back to the hotel.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as the two opened the door and entered, they saw fragments of ss on the


    ground.


    "Did anything happen to Mrs. Hansen?"


    Carter''s words made Byron''s expression change.


    He quickly walked into the house, and Carter followed closely behind.


    Just when the two walked to the lit part of the room, they saw a scene that shocked them, although


    they were well-informed.


    Nichs'' hands and feet were tied behind his back.


    Such a weird posture must be ufortable. He screwed his face, and he was soaked through.


    But he gritted his teeth, not daring to make a sound.


    Cora was taking a nap on the small sofa.


    It was close to early morning. She had beat Nichs just now and had consumed a lot of energy, so


    she was tired.


    As Nichs saw Byron and Carter walking into the room, his eyes lit up as if seeing saviors. He began


    to cry.


    Cora was awakened by the sound of crying and kicked Nichs. "Be quiet. What time is it? I have to


    sleep!"


    Nichs was tied into a ball.


    With Cora''s kick, he rolled like a ball and didn''t stop until he hit the table leg.


    The more Nichs hurt, the more bitterly he cried.


    "Byron, save me. Save me. This woman is like a devil. She didn''t bat an eye when she beat me up."


    Cora kept closing her eyes until she heard Byron''s name and realized something.

    Opening her eyes, she saw the familiar figure not far away and threw herself into his arms.


    "What took you so long?"


    Cora was weeping pitifully, which made Nichs suspect that this was not the same woman who just


    beat him up!


    "Are you okay? Sorry, I shouldn''t have left you here alone."


    Byron stretched out his hands and took Cora into his arms, looking at her carefully.


    After making sure that she didn''t have any obvious injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.


    "This scumbag came inst night while you were away. I was so scared."


    Cora leaned in Byron''s arms,ining about what Nichs did.


    "I didn''t. She was talking nonsense. She lured me to her room and beat me up."


    Nichs knew that if he touched Byron''s girl, he would suffer, so he didn''t admit his mistake and


    pretended to be the victim.


    "Look how badly she beat me. I just lost my mother, but she beat me up and ndered me. I don''t want


    to live anymore..."


    But Byron didn''t believe him.


    Hearing Nichs say that he didn''t want to live anymore, Byron gave Carter a cold look. "Take him out.


    I''ll fulfill his wishter."


    Carter knew Byron well. He knew what Byron would do, so he picked up Nichs and walked out.


    Before walking out of the room, Carter nced back at Cora, impressed by what she did.


    Cora had always been soft and weak in front of Carter. Carter thought that she needed Byron to protect


    her when she was bullied.


    But the scene just now surprised Carter.


    He didn''t expect that such a soft and weak woman would rather beat a tall man like Nichs to tears


    than cause trouble for Byron.


    Cora was smart and brave.


    Before that, Carter felt that Cora was not good enough for Byron.


    But tonight, he admired Cora sincerely.


    He even thought that Cora was the rib specially made for Byron when God created man...
