Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband
Chapter 287

Chapter 287 Be the Target?

Cora didn't know what Byron was doing behind the scenes. She only knew they had met someonewhen they bought gifts for Flora in the mall.

At that time, Byron asked Cora, "How about the mango tart?"

"Other flavours of tart are fine, but not mango. My mom is allergic to mangoes.”

As soon as Cora finished speaking, a man bowed before her and Byron in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Hansen, please let me go. I know I was wrong."

Cora stared at the man in front of her, whose suit was terribly wrinkled. She was stunned for a longtime before she realized he was Wesley, who took advantage of the loss of Byron's power tohumiliate him at the Hansen family's party last time.

Actually, she didn't like to be aggressive. But she felt extremely upset when she recalled the baldWesley called Byron disdainfully at the dinner party last time.

Byron was about to ignore Wesley, but Cora wanted to teach him a lesson.

So when Wesley bowed before them, Cora asked, "Who are you?"

Wesley raised his head in a daze. He was stunned momentarily by Cora's gorgeous face butsuddenly felt an icy stare on him.

He turned his head and immediately met Byron's deep and frosty eyes. He quickly lowered his eyes,not daring to look at Byron and offend Cora with his eyes.

"Mrs. Hansen, I'm Wesley. I accidentally offended Mr. Hansen and you before. Please forgive me."Wesley had shown the humblest manner. Even though the surrounding people in the mall weredrawn to him and talked about him, he didn't take it seriously.

Even if he were asked to lick their feet now, Wesley would do it, as long as the Ashton Groupwouldn't go bankrupt.

The Ashton Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.

No one would have expected the Ashton Group to fall upon hard times after the dinner party andits century-old foundation to be on the verge of collapse.

Wesley knew everything happened because he tried his best to humiliate Byron and curry favourwith Mark at the dinner party.

Wesley regretted being unable to see the situation and taking the lead to humiliate Byron.

Now that Byron's identity had changed, everyone in the Hansen family respected him

Although Mark dominated the whole matter, he was Byron's family. Byron wouldn't be ruthless tohim no matter what.

In this way, Wesley would take all the blame.

He tried his best to curry favour with Byron, hoping he could keep the century-old business of theAshton family.

But apparently, he failed to please Cora by respectfully calling her "Mrs. Hansen". She seemed to besmiling but was actually mocking Wesley.

"Now I remembered. Mr. Ashton, right? Why are you bowing? Why don't you ask Byron to help youup so that I can fan you and peel some grapes for you."

Cora's words scared Wesley out of his wits.

Byron couldn't help but glance at her, thinking she was too bold to say everything.

But he knew that everything she had said was just to fight for his justice.

"No. I don't deserve to be called Mr. Ashton in front of you. Please just call me Wesley. I made a bigmistake that day and offended you two. And I'm truly sorry for what happened. I shouldn't havebelittled Mr. Hansen to please someone else when Mr. Hansen lost power.”

Wesley quickly apologized and made proper self-criticism.

"We accept your apology, but we will not forgive you."

Cora's answer made Wesley pin his hope on Byron.

"Mrs. Hansen is a woman, after all, and her vision may not be as far-sighted as men. Mr. Hansen..."Wesley even wanted to trade with Byron to keep the Ashton Group temporarily.

He believed a person with a broad perspective like Byron should know how to choose in the face ofinterests and wouldn't be as narrow-minded as a woman like Cora.

But before he finished speaking, Byron interrupted him, "What she says is exactly my point.”
