Chapter 272 The Final Victor

"Be cool,” Byron said, glancing mysteriously at Cora.

"Not kicking their asses? Then what is it? A group fight?"

She noticed that many rich young men were trying to get close to Jane, and she also saw Janechatting happily with them, completely ignoring Byron's presence. It confirmed her suspicions.

In the past, whenever Jane saw Byron, she would immediately come over to him and would neverflirt with other men in his presence.

But now, she acted as if she didn't see him and continued chatting with those young men.

Those young men seemed to be provoking Byron even more, engaging in lively conversations withJane after seeing Byron.

The Hansen family once wanted Jane to become Byron's wife, yet now she was getting cozy withothers...

"While I understand your inexplicable suffering after being cheated on, I suggest you keep calm,”Cora consoled him.

But Byron suddenly pinched her waist. "As long as you haven't cheated on me, I won't be sufferinganything. And besides..."

Cora raised her head and saw Byron looking at her attentively. "No need to intentionally cheer meup. I'm not that fragile. And I do have a purpose of coming here today."

Cora was taken aback, realizing that he was already aware...

However, she was still curious about what his actual purpose was.

Since they entered the banquet venue, she had heard people frequently mention that the event wasto celebrate the signing ceremony between the Hansen Group and the Sunda Group.

But now, the Hansen family wasn't under his control, so it wasn't him representing the signing of theagreement.

Byron had inexplicably become an outsider, and it saddened her.

Indeed. Byron was clearly being ignored today.

Even though his every move still exuded an unmatched nobility, and his appearance still stood outin the crowd, those who used to come up and tried to get to know him were now nowhere to beseen.

Even those rich young men who were once friendly with him, like Harry, didn't come up to greethim.

It seemed like everyone was afraid that continuing their friendship with Byron would offend thecurrent people in charge of the Hansen family, making Cora realize for the first time that thriving inthe world of fame and fortune required a strong heart.

Cora considered herself lacking such toughness, so she excused herself to go to the restroom torelieve her pressure.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into Sara and Jane, who were both touching up their makeup in therestroom.

"Oh, isn't this the hero who performed surgery on Old Mr. Hansen?"

Sara jeered at Cora upon seeing her enter the restroom, not intending to let her off easily aftermaking her daughter cry.

Cora planned to wash her hands and leave, but since Sara was mocking her and Byron, she decidedto join in and took out a lipstick, casually applying it in front of the mirror.

"Well, at least I'm known as the lead surgeon, much better than those assistants whose names arerarely mentioned, right?"

Cora retorted, causing both Sara and Jane's faces to darken instantly.

But Jane had always been patient and only glared at Cora in anger.

On the contrary, Sara seemed ferocious, and her voice became sharper.

"You tried so hard to sleep with Byron and were desperate to save his father's life through surgery,all because you want to marry into the Hansen family, right? But who would have thought that inthe end, Byron lost control of the family and became the most useless one. How does it feel to loseeverything after exhausting all your efforts?"

"The final victor is yet to be determined,” Cora applied her dark red lipstick, which instantly madeher seem domineering.

Thus, Sara and Jane couldn't help but wonder if Cora knew something they didn't.

"Do you know something?" Jane finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"Make a wild guess,”

Cora replied. She actually didn't know anything, but she enjoyed keeping them guessing, leavingSara and Jane extremely curious.

But just as Cora felt satisfied after perturbing Sara and Jane, someone dragged her into a darkcorner as soon as she stepped out of the restroom...
