Chapter 87 What if I Frighten Her?
In the darkness, a tall figure pressed Cora against the door, causing a momentary panic in her heart.
But when Cora heard the familiar voice and caught his familiar scent, she relaxed slightly and quickly
turned on the
nearby light.
Their gazes met as the light came on.
Cora sensed a hint of reproach in Byron’s eyes.
With what he had said, this man seemed angry at her for not disclosing their relationship.
However, Cora dismissed it as an illusion.
Surely, someone as esteemed as him wouldn’t care about such trivial matters.
Convincing herself, Cora replied with a light smile, “Mr. Hansen, the unpresentable is me, not you.”
Nonetheless, something in her response seemed to displease him as a trace of coldness crept into his
expression.
Byron released the firm grip around her waist, and the warmth that was present a moment ago
vanished. Cora felt
somewhat uneasy, for she had sensed his intense reaction earlier when he pressed close to her, but
now he seemed
distant.

He must not have time to bother with her.
“Please close the door before you leave for Dr. Yoris.”
Without another word, Cora entered the bathroom.
Enter title…
The chilly night breeze was too much for her, and her body almost froze even with her knit dress on.
Cora intended to take a warm bath before getting some rest.
However, just as she had taken off her clothes, she found herself suddenly enveloped by Byron’s
embrace from behind.
His touch was unexpectedly intense.
“Mr. Hansen, aren’t you going to find Dr. Yoris? She’s willing to do what I do,” Cora said, recalling the
scene on the deck
where they closely stood by each other. Compared with that, her relationship with Byron was
unpresentable.
“What if I frighten her, and she refuses to shield me in the future? Will you shield me instead of her?”
Byron clung to her closely, kissing her fervently as if punishing her.
Cora found Byron somewhat strange tonight.
However, she couldn’t help feeling upset when hearing he said he didn’t want to frighten Jane.
“What if she won’t be frightened but like it?” She asked somewhat provocatively.
“You don’t mind frightening me but worry about frightening Jane. Is my body so cheap that you can
trample over it as you
like?” Cora thought.
“Do you like it?” Byron asked, turning the question back at her.
“No!” Cora retorted without hesitation.
Then Byron continued to pressure her body relentlessly, asking, “Do you like it?”
Finally, she had no choice but to compromise. “Yes…”
To salvage her pride, she asked, “When will you give me the rosewood?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Can I have it now?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Shut up, or I won’t show mercy.”
Byron acted on his threats, causing Cora to suffer a bit.
Meanwhile, Eason drank himself into a stupor after the King Game. He wandered around, searching for
Cora, apologizing
and asking for her forgiveness.

“I know I was wrong. Come back to me, okay?”
Mia tried to persuade him to go back with her and stop embarrassing himself on the deck. “Eason, let’s
go back! Cora is
with Carter now. She won’t come back to you.”
“Get lost! Cora wouldn’t have ignored me if it weren’t for you!” He shouted.
Eason pushed her away, continuing his frantic search for Cora.
“Cora, I won’t be with anyone else anymore. Please forgive me. I promise I’ll have only you in my heart,
and I’ll help you
restore the Lane family…”
Mia felt her sincere feelings were completely trampled upon by Eason.
But with things already at this point, if she let go now, everyone would know she had an abortion, and
finding another
partner would be even harder for her.
Gritting her teeth, Mia imitated Cora’s voice and said, “Eason, will you really help me restore the Lane
family?”
The man, who had just resisted her touch, now embraced her tightly. “Yes, I will. Thank you, Cora.
Thank you for giving
me another chance.”
Still intoxicated, Eason kissed her.
Later, it was the second time Mia lay beneath Eason.
Eason kissed her again and again, calling her Cora throughout the night
