Chapter 24 His Indifference

In the banquet hall, Byron stood out amongst the crowd in his usual suit and leather shoes,engaging in conversations with several important figures.

It wasn't just his striking appearance that captured people's attention, but also his extraordinaryaura and demeanor.

Cora couldn't help but focus her gaze on Byron, and it seemed that he noticed it too. Catching heroff guard, he turned around and met her eyes.

Cora felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Thoughts of the shoes he had given her yesterdayleft her unsure of how she should greet him.

Yet Byron showed no intention of greeting her whatsoever. He had already shifted his gaze away,continuing his conversations as if Cora were a stranger to him.

The indifference in his demeanor pierced Cora's heart, leaving her feeling dejected.

“Of course.’ Cora thought, “Even my ex avoids me, why would Byron have any interest in me?’

It was absurd that despite knowing this, she had allowed herself to entertain fantasies about himharboring feelings for her.

The realization left Cora feeling embarrassed. She looked away quickly.

"Cora, come on! Don't be shy," Sally urged, unaware that Cora looked away because she wasdisappointed by Byron's indifference, not shy.

Sally believed that if Carter could disregard his connection to Byron and help Cora in the store theother day, even at the risk of offending Byron's families-to-be, then he must be very serious with hisrelationship with Cora

Yet, Cora began to regret coming to this party. Her decision to come wasn't solely influenced bySally's persuasions but also her own desire to see Byron.

Although Cora didn't know what to say or do after seeing him, she had been thinking about it eversince she received the shoes yesterday.

Now, those thoughts had been shattered entirely, leaving Cora with a strong desire to walk away."Sally, I..." she began, wanting to tell her that she would like to leave.

But just then, a male voice came from behind her, tinged with pity. "Cora, why are you here?”

Cora turned around and saw a range of emotions in Eason's eyes.

He looked more handsome than she had imagined in his black tuxedo, exuding nobility andsophistication.

Cora felt a bit dazed, unsure if it was Eason's well-groomed appearance or Byron's indifference thataffected her.

Sally, not wanting Cora to be at a disadvantage, quickly interjected, "We're here to attend yourengagement party, Mr. Patton. You invited her, remember?”

"Me?" Eason looked confused. Of course he didn't invite Cora, knowing how much Cora would bedisgusted.

But he soon realized it must have been Mia's doing. While aware of her motives, Eason had nochoice but to brace himself and host the event.

Looking at Cora's slightly reddened eyes, sadness overcame him.

Eason stepped forward, pulling Cora gently. "Cora, let's talk in private.”

"Go ahead! Talk away! I'll wait here.” Though Sally wouldn't want Cora and Eason to get backtogether, she still wanted Cora to have a proper talk with Eason before moving on.

As Sally saw them off, she felt a cold gaze piercing her back, as if someone wanted to tear her apart.She quickly turned around, searching for the source of such rudeness. But upon realizing who it was,she took half a step back.

It was Byron!

Sally nervously adjusted her bangs and murmured, "I don't recall offending him..."
