Chapter 271 Will You Marry Me

With Byron's words, Cora wondered if he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

But she also thought that if he really did, he wouldn't have been ridiculed and mocked by others allthese days, cooped up with her in this small LO apartment.

So Cora quickly pushed that thought aside, and Byron couldn't care less about these matters either."Forget about that. Take a look at this,” Byron said.

Cora lowered her head and saw the opened velvet box in his hand.

Inside lay a pearl anklet adorned with the Southern Pearls, which were the best among all kinds.Each pearl was so round, lustrous, and elegantly incomparable, and the key was that these pearlswere also rare rose-red in color.

Paired with the rose gold chain, this strand of pearls looked even more captivating, like a piece ofart among accessories.

There was no woman who didn't like such beautiful jewelry, and Cora was no exception.

As she stared at the anklet, she couldn't help but be mesmerized.

Seeing her lost in fascination, Byron's lips curled up secretly.

However, he never expected that the very next second the woman who was lost in admirationwould raise her hand and give him a punch.

Byron, caught off guard by the sudden blow, asked, "What's wrong?"

"You're unemployed, yet you still spent money recklessly,” Cora scolded.

Byron raised an eyebrow. "It's not that expensive.”

"Do you think I don't know how to appraise jewelry? These are Southern Pearls, and each one hassuch good color. They must be worth a fortune.”

Cora continued, "You used to like giving me these little trinkets, and I could accept them withoutguilt because I knew you could afford them. But now that you're still out of work and spending yoursavings like this, how are you going to survive in the future?”

Cora was worried that saying these things would hurt Byron's self-esteem, especially since he hadbeen born into wealth and privilege and had never been constrained by money.

Unexpectedly, Byron smiled and pulled her into his arms. "Are you already a caring wife even beforemarrying me?"

"Stop it! I'm serious. Why are you still joking? I'm not your wife!" Cora blushed instantly and tried tobreak free from his embrace.

But Byron held her slender waist tightly and wouldn't let go. "So, will you marry me or not?"

"I won't," she replied. Cora didn't mind that he had lost control of the Hansen Group, but at leastshe was expecting a more romantic scenario.

However, Byron ignored her rejection and started to teach her a lesson on the couch.

Whenever she was on the verge of the ultimate pleasure, he would ask her playfully, "Will you marryme?"

At first, Cora stubbornly refused to give in so as not to appear too eager to get married.

But later on, she simply didn't have any strength left.

Seeing Byron's mischievous look, she pleaded without any dignity, “I will marry you, alright? Willthat satisfy you?"

But instead, she saw his wicked smile, leading to another round of desirous drowning under theguise of celebration...

The next day, after finishing her shift at the hospital, Byron went to pick her up to get styled.

When they were ready to go to the banquet venue, Cora wore a black halter-neck bodycon dress,and her shoulder-length hair was styled into lazy curls, casually cascading down.

Byron was also in a black tuxedo and a pair of shiny leather shoes.

Together, they looked like a perfect couple.

"What do you think we're doing here? Kicking everyone's ass?"

Cora realized only when she entered the banquet venue that the event was quite grand, gatheringalmost all the influential figures in New York.

The entire Hansen family was present, except for the hospitalized Osborn.

Even the Yoris family had spared no effort to attend.

Moreover, Cora noticed an exaggerated poster at the entrance of the banquet: [Warmly welcomethe domestic CEO of Sunda Group.]

Cora didn't know why the domestic CEO of Sunda Group was here, but she was certain that Byronhad some intentions of bringing her here today.
