Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband ( Cora Lane ) - Season 2 Episode 26

Jane’s words surprised almost everyone present, especially Arnold.
He carefully asked, “Jane, are you sure?”
Back then, Arnold very much wished for Jane to inherit his skills.
Ever since he became the successor of the intangible cultural heritage of
woodcarving, Arnold had always hoped that Jane could take some time to learn
from him.
Since Jane’s paintings had won her many awards before, and she also had
unique insights about arts, Arnold thought there was no one more suitable than
her to learn woodcarving.
But no matter how many times he had mentioned it to Jane, Jane had always
refused him, so he had no choice but to find someone else to be his apprentice.
Therefore, no one had expected Jane would take the initiative today to mention
that she wanted to learn woodcarving.
Faced with Arnold’s question, Jane replied firmly, “I’m sure. I didn’t want to learn it
before because I thought I couldn’t learn it well, as I am a girl after all. But after I

saw Dr. Lane also came here to learn, I suddenly became very confident. So I
hope Grandpa can also allow me this opportunity to learn.”
For Arnold, this could be considered a joyous event.
After all, Jane was his only granddaughter. And it was true that he favored her
and wanted to pass on his lifelong skills to her.
But the problem was that he also promised Cora to let her be his last apprentice
and pass on his lifelong skills to her.
He was slightly in a dilemma, so he could only turn to look at Cora.
On the contrary, Cora was very calm. “Actually, I don’t mind if Dr. Yoris wants to
learn woodcarving together. But I have promised Sir Yoris before Dr. Yoris does,
so I want to be the senior.”
Everyone could tell that Jane suddenly suggested today that she wanted to learn
woodcarving as Arnold’s apprentice because of Cora.
But she had cleverly found an excuse for herself and concealed her envy
perfectly, so she didn’t mind giving way to Cora, as well as to not embarrass
Arnold.
As for Cora’s suggestion to be Jane’s senior, it was a slight discomfort for Jane.
As expected, Jane didn’t want to regard her as her senior. “No, this won’t do. If
you want to count it like this, my grandpa has asked me since a long time ago if I
want to learn woodcarving with him. If so, then I can be counted as the most
senior out of all of you.”
Her half-joking tone easily resolved the previous awkward atmosphere.
Arnold finally decided. “How about this? Tonight, both of you will attend the
apprenticeship ceremony together, and thus be counted as the most junior
apprentices. The other senior apprentices will regard you as their juniors, so you
have to show some respect to them, while the two of you can treat each other as
usual.”
Jane seemed to be overly triumphant, but Cora was definitely aware that this was
still a form of Arnold’s favoritism toward Jane.
However, it didn’t matter anymore. The most important thing for her to be Arnold’s
apprentice this time was to put Sara and Jane into a difficult situation by breaking
into the enemy’s territory, so they wouldn’t dare to take action easily. Learning
skills came second.
Cora just smiled and said, “Sir Yoris may decide. I have no objection.”
And next came the apprenticeship ceremony.
Cora and Jane read the apprentice vows in front of Arnold together, and the
woodcarving masters that Arnold had invited to witness the ceremony
congratulated Arnold for gaining two outstanding last apprentices in one day.
Arnold vowed to Cora and Jane, “We surely have to create achievements in the
future, and let that Max know that the Yoris family will never lose to him!”
Truthfully, this was the first time Cora met a woodcarving master, so she didn’t
quite know what Arnold was talking about.
“Max?” Cora asked.
Seeing her bewildered look, a senior who appeared to be slightly older than her
quickly explained to her.
“Cora, you might not know about this, but Max is our teacher’s former senior. But
since the two of them had different views, they regarded each other as a thorn in
the flesh. They wished that their respective apprentices could completely
overshadow the other’s apprentices in the future.”
Cora was just discerning this information when another senior who looked quite
young came up to chat with her.
“Cora, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Dan it, Kevin! That’s what I want to ask Cora! Don’t steal my words!”
Seeing the interaction of these young people, one of the masters that Arnold
invited couldn’t help teasing him, “It seems that the young apprentice you have
accepted is doing well.”
Arnold took the praise for his apprentice as praise for himself. He proudly said,
“This kid is very beautiful, so naturally she will have many suitors.”
Yet, no one knew that this unintended remark had shaken Jane in the soul.
