Chapter 382 Am I a Guilty Man?

"Mr. Hansen, we reviewed the surveillance footage and discovered that the car involved was actuallya scrapped vehicle. The driver was attempting to leave New York on a high-speed train before weapprehended him," Carter informed Byron of all the information gathered from the investigation."What's the conclusion?"

The criminal was under their control, and Carter must have employed various means to extract themost truthful answers.

Byron wasn't interested in the details of how the criminal was apprehended. He wanted a directanswer.

"The person who gave the order was Grace," Carter replied.

"Grace? From the Moore family?" Byron exchanged a glance with Carter. Carter immediately knewwhat Byron had to ask.

"Yes. She was from the Moore family. Furthermore, after investigating Grace's accounts, wediscovered that Sara recently made two substantial payments to Grace," Carter explained, implyingthat Sara might be the mastermind behind the incident.

"Mrs. Sara Yoris had not learned her lesson after a few minor incidents. Maybe we should changethe names of both Yoris' and Moore's families, so they'll remember it better in the future,” Byronsaid disapprovingly.

Byron didn't want to continue dealing with them because their attempt on Cora's life was akin topoking the hornet's nest. It was absurd that they even wanted to harm Cora as if inviting troubleupon themselves.

Byron then asked, "Which family name should we change first?"

Sunda Group was recently establishing itself in New York, so it was not convenient to target bothfamilies at once.

So Byron planned to target one family first and wait until Sunda Group had settled before dealingwith the other family.

Carter's response, however, wasn't what Byron wanted to hear. "I don't think it's a good idea to actagainst them.”

Byron seemed dissatisfied with Carter's reply, and his sharp eyes could easily cut through anyone.Carter sighed before speaking, "Mr. Hansen, it's not that I replace Mrs. Hansen's situation unimportant,but I have the results of the DNA tests you asked me to do last time..."

Byron took the DNA test report handed to him by Carter, and his expression changed.

That evening, Cora was busy sculpting something at home.

As Byron observed Cora's delicate form, his mind was full of thoughts of the DNA report he hadreceived from Carter earlier that day, leaving him conflicted

Cora moved to a different angle to resume her carving when she noticed a man standing at thedoorway.

"Back already?" She asked.

Byron replied with a soft "Mm" and took a few steps to embrace her.

Cora looked surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

Byron was usually affectionate, but this sudden display of intimacy seemed unusual.

"I missed you," he confessed

Cora playfully remarked, "That sounds a bit like what a guilty man would say, afraid of being caughtby his wife."

Byron playfully pinched her hand. "Do you think I'm a guilty man?”

"A guilty man wouldn't admit it so openly,” Cora replied, moving his hand away.

Cora looked into Byron's eyes and seriously asked, "What's bothering you?"

Cora could sense that something was on Byron's mind.

This had become a pattern in Cora's interactions with Byron.

Byron paused and said, "This matter seems to be related to the Yoris family.”

Unexpectedly, Cora replied, "I'm not surprised.”

This surprised Byron.

"You also guessed it?"

He lowered his head, carefully examining Cora's face, not wanting to miss any expression that mightreveal her feelings.

He genuinely wanted to understand how Cora felt when she learned about these things.

But Cora's demeanor remained calm, her voice steady as she said, "This has happened more thanonce or twice. They have been doing everything they can to obstruct our relationship and supportDr. Yoris."

"Do you hate them? If I bring down the Yoris family, will you be sad or upset?"

Unable to replace an answer in Cora’s expression, Byron decided to probe further.

Unexpectedly, Cora asked back, "Why should I be sad for the Yoris family?"

"But they are your..." Byron hesitated, not finishing his sentence.
