Chapter 727 Mode of Interaction

But Cora didn't immediately explode. She quickly responded to Harry.

"Mr. Cross, I didn't say he did anything. He's not even worried himself, so why are you explaining tohim?"

By now, her eyes no longer held the darkness they had when she first entered the private room.There was even a faint smile on her face.

However, when Cora smiled like that, Harry's entire body started to feel a creeping sensation.

"I'm not explaining for Byron. I'm just stating the objective facts," Harry replied, but his forcedexplanation didn't seem to be well-received

Indeed, Cora’s gaze had already landed on Byron.

The latter coldly glanced at the hand that Evie had placed on his arm with a clear expression ofrepulsion in his eyes.

However, it seemed that he thought of something afterward, as he managed to conceal thatrepulsion and even didn't shake off Evie's hand.

He asked Cora coldly, "Why are you here?"

The feeling was as if the person who had been trying on wedding dresses with her and discussinghoneymoon trips just today wasn't him.

Cora didn't explode on the spot. She simply replied, "Mr. Cross sent me a message, saying that youwere about to be devoured by monsters and demons. I rushed over to take a look and see whatkind of audacious monster would dare to do that."

A spectrum of emotions played across Evie's face.

She didn't even need to ask to know that the monsters and demons referred to her.

Unable to control her temper, Evie retorted, "Cora, we're still alumni, not strangers. There's no needto be so confrontational in your words."

Harry was slightly surprised and looked at Evie for a moment.

Alumni?

He hadn't thought that there was this connection between this "monster" and Cora.

So, was Byron watching over the monster for Cora because of this alumni relationship?

Harry stole a glance at Byron, hoping to replace an answer in his eyes.

However, he noticed that someone was quietly observing Cora and not saying a word, wearing ahalf-smile as he looked at Cora with a slightly resentful expression.

So, was Byron actually enjoying this, watching as his wife got jealous for him?

Once Harry realized this, he suddenly felt quite full in his stomach.

But tonight, aside from the drinks, he hadn't eaten anything else.

What filled him up was none other than their happiness!

"I rushed over? You haven't seen me when I'm even more worked up,” Cora retorted with her usualcold tone.

While Evie was attempting to provoke her, wanting to see her get even more worked up.

Cora gave another cold glance at the man still sitting on the couch, unmoving. "Still not getting up?You need a lesson, don't you?"

In matters involving both men and women, it took two to tango.

She was well aware that focusing solely on Evie wouldn't be effective.

Evie was still planning to engage in some petty provocations.

After all, she believed that powerful and influential men didn't appreciate being summoned andordered around.

She thought that the approach Cora was taking would only push the man further away.

Only women like her who understood how to be gentle and didn't nitpick with men about thesethings would ultimately have a chance to stay by a man's side.

However, just as Evie was about to speak up, the man who had allowed her to hold his hand amoment ago suddenly waved her hand away.

"Mr. Hansen?"

Evie was taken aback and wanted to grab the man's arm once again.

It was as if holding onto his arm would secure her a place in his future.

However, this time, she couldn't even reach him.

"Get lost!" After the man rebuked her, he walked away towards Cora without looking back.

Then, the man who had exuded an icy aura just moments ago suddenly changed his demeanor,saying to Cora, "Cora, I've had too much to drink and can't walk steadily. Can you support me?"Harry and Evie were left speechless.

They never would have imagined that the man who seemed to have control over everything in frontof others would have such a different interaction mode with Cora in private.
