Chapter 311 Secret Conversation

"Sally, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that things with him have been absurd from thestart, and I never imagined we would end up together..." Cora carefully explained as she put theplunger Sally had placed on the table aside, sitting beside her.

Sally had always been kind to her, and even after the fall of the Lane family, she had beenwholeheartedly supportive. Cora wanted to be with her forever.

Therefore, she was worried that Sally would be angry and cut ties with her because of these.Unexpectedly, before she could finish explaining, Sally hugged her tightly.

"Cora, I'm not angry. If I knew it was him, I would have approved even more. How many scumbagshave been after you since your family went bankrupt? If any of them had succeeded, they wouldn'thave been able to protect you.

"I used to wonder what kind of woman could win over Byron. I never expected the legendarywoman to be right by my side. Ordinary people don't even get to approach him, but you easilyenchanted him! I'm happy for you, bestie."

Cora didn't know how to respond.

She described her as a siren.

No, Cora felt as if they were two sirens discussing how to deal with the young handsome sailor.

At this moment, Byron came out of the bathroom and stood behind them.

When Cora noticed something was off and turned to look at Byron, she felt so awkward.

"Sally got drunk. She tends to speak nonsense when she's drunk.” Cora forced a smile at him, buteven she felt her laughter sound insincere.

Byron's handsome face remained expressionless in the dim light, and he clearly didn't believe herwords.

"Cora, I'm not drunk,” Sally exclaimed, also turning to see Byron.

Unsure it was because of the alcohol giving her courage or because Cora was her best friend, shewas willing to go all out for her.

She wasn't cowering like before in front of Byron now. Instead, she pointed to the seat opposite herand said, "Mr. Hansen, we might as well sit down to have a chat. I have a few questions to ask you."Byron took the seat in front of Sally with composure.

Instead of directly diving into the topic, Sally took a bite of the chili on the pizza. "It's too spicy.Cora, could you buy me a bottle of yogurt downstairs?"

Cora knew Sally wanted to send her away, but she wasn't sure what Sally wanted to talk about withByron. Given her hot temper, they might end up in a conflict if they stayed here alone. So Coradeclined. "I'll get you a glass of water instead."

"I don't want water. I want yogurt,” Sally insisted.

Just as Cora was contemplating how to refuse her, Byron said, "Go buy it. And also get me a pack ofcigarettes.”

Cora glared at him, and then Byron lightly tapped the back of her hand to signal her not to worry.Sally covered her eyes. "I'm too young to see this scene!”

Cora playfully pinched Sally before heading downstairs to buy yogurt and cigarettes

She returned with what they had asked for as quickly as possible.

However, when she returned home, the conversation was already over, and Sally was nowhere to beseen.

"Where's Sally?" Cora looked at the man sitting in front of the table.

"Her boyfriend came to pick her up, and they left,” Byron replied.

Despite the answer, Cora still felt uneasy, fearing that their conversation might not have gonesmoothly.

However, no matter how much she probed, Byron refused to disclose the content of theirconversation.

Annoyed by her persistent questions, he directly took her to the bedroom upstairs...
