Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband ( Cora Lane ) - Season 4 Episode 17

“What price?” Cora adjusted her attire, acting nonchalantly.

“The price of leaving Byron,” Evelyn added.

This remark caught Cora’s attention, and she looked up at

Evelyn.

With a smile, Evelyn continued, “I’m sure you’ve noticed Madam Hansen’s frequent interactions with

me lately, haven’t you? Even today, when Byron invited you to his home for dinner, she asked for me

too.

“That’s right. The truth is, Madam Hansen, hopes that Byron and I will be together. Even though Byron

has proposed to you, she still wishes for her future daughter–in–law to be me.”

Cora had already noticed all that Evelyn mentioned.

During this period, Nora kept mentioning Evelyn’s excellence in front of Byron. She even frequently

arranged for Cora to interact with Evelyn, hoping to make Cora feel inferior.

However, no one expected Cora would surpass Evelyn’s proud marksmanship, leading to the situation

that unfolded during

the dinner.

“You being with Byron is just a matter of enjoying your youth. When your looks fade, someone as picky

as Byron won’t even spare a second glance at you. Eventually, you’ll be discarded just like anyone

else. Why not take a large sum of money now, while you’re still young, and find someone you can

spend a

lifetime with?”

Evelyn spoke as if she was considering Cora’s best interests, but Cora suddenly burst into laughter.

“What’s so funny?” Evelyn didn’t like the way Cora was laughing, as if mocking her despite not doing

anything to win.

“I just think Mr. Hansen was right when he said you don’t think before you speak,” Cora replied.

“How dare you insult me!” With her status in the Cross family, few people dared to ridicule Evelyn like

this.

But Cora had humiliated Evelyn multiple times. Evelyn couldn’t

stand it anymore. She raised her hand, intending to slap Cora.

Cora was quick to react. She grabbed Evelyn’s hand before

she could land the slap and smiled teasingly.

“I didn’t insult you. I merely spoke the truth. You see. Once I marry Mr. Hansen, his property becomes

our shared wealth. Even if we divorce in the future, I’ll still get half of it. However

much you give, can it compare to more than half of his

fortune?”

“You’re just after Byron’s money!” Evelyn struggled to free her

hand from Cora’s grip and spat, “You have no shame.”

“I have no shame? I’m after his money and also sleep with him. But aren’t you even more shameless?

He’s already with

me, yet you still try to interfere!”

Cora continued to smile. Her tone and words drove Evelyn

mad.

“I am not some third–party interloper. Madam Hansen claimed I am the most suitable candidate as

Byron’s wife!”

Evelyn argued passionately.

“She merely thinks Jane couldn’t measure up to me, so she brought you into the mix to see if you could replace me. People used you like a pawn, and you found joy in it? You must have quite an inflated

sense of self–importance! Saying you lack brains wouldn’t be an unfair assessment.”

Despite Nora’s façade of friendliness and the chances she seemingly offered, Cora saw right through

her hypocrisy and was already holding a grudge.

Now, with Evelyn proudly displaying her advantages, Coral couldn’t just let her get away with it.

“Miss Lane, I’ve already given you opportunities, but since you

won’t take the soft route, I’ll have to resort to more forceful

means,” Evelyn retorted before she turned to leave.

Cora couldn’t help but smirk internally. Wasn’t she already

using forceful means?

After a moment’s consideration, Cora had a sudden idea.

Cora pretended to answer a call, holding her hand to her ear as if speaking on the phone, “Hey, Steve?

What’s up? I heard

you might be looking for new talent for the National Shooting

Team. Well, if you’re interested, I think I might be a perfect fit.”

As Cora finished her make–believe conversation, she noticed

Evelyn’s footsteps coming to an abrupt halt and started rushing toward her.
