Chapter 176 Reluctant to Part

Byron came to Cora's apartment after getting off work as usual.

As soon as he pushed open the door, the gleaming gold bars in the living room caught his eye, dazzling him

He frowned immediately. "Where did these come from?"

Cora pretended to be busy carving her competition piece and didn't even bother to turn around and look at him.

"They were blown in by the wind. Do you believe that?"

Byron was still staring at the gold bars, thinking of Carter mentioning something about Lydia withdrawing gold bars from major banks a couple of days ago.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed Cora, and made her face him.

"Who gave these to you?"

He already had a guess, but he couldn't help but want to force her to answer, hoping to hear the truth from her mouth.

"Mrs. Lydia Hansen, Eason’s mother, your sister.”

"Why did she give these to you?"

Byron approached slowly, his eyes reflecting her image clearly.

Cora found herself enjoying the sight of her reflection being the sole presence in his eyes, as it made her feel like he loved her just as much, to the point where his entire world revolved around her.

But Cora clearly knew that it was impossible.

Byron's heart would never belong to her after all.

And even if he did have feelings for her, it would only be a little. And it would be impossible for him to like her enough to completely ignore his own family.

With this in mind, Cora smirked and said, "Why? Of course, it's because she found out that I slept with you, afraid that I would ruin your reputation and the harmonious atmosphere of the Hansen family. So she let me take the money and leave. I think gold is more valuable, so I took the gold and didn't take the money."

She looked at him with a smile, and her expression was full of allure.

But only she knew that she was using her smile to conceal her inner desolation.

"So you agreed to her?" Byron gritted his teeth, and even the hand holding her arm tightened involuntarily.

"Yes, I agreed. Otherwise, how would I have these gold bars?"

Cora continued to smile, but the man's expression quickly turned cold.

"So you're ready to break up with me?"

Byron was filled with anger.

Although he had long suspected that Cora might be interested in his financial ability rather than himself, his heart still felt as if it had been hit by a heavy blow when facing the truth.

Cora nodded, but when she saw that Byron's gaze seemed a bit dim, she said, "I agreed, but I feel a little reluctant.”

She seemed to be joking, but there was a hint of sincerity in her words that only she knew in her heart.

"You must be reluctant to part with my money, aren't you?" He sneered sarcastically.

"You didn't give me much money..." Cora replied, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy when she thought about how Byron had helped her settle the payment of liquor reselling and paid for all of Flora's medical expenses.

So, under the sharp gaze of Byron, she said, "But most importantly, I'm reluctant to part with you." Not sure if it was the effect of her words, but Byron noticeably loosened his grip on her hand. "What are you reluctant to part with?"

"Mr. Hansen, you're handsome, with an unparalleled figure, and the experience you gave me was extraordinary... tsk, the more I talk, the more reluctant I become.”

Byron listened to her praise him, but his eyes remained cold as he asked, "If you can't bear to lose me, why did you agree to break up with me?"

Upon hearing these words, Cora felt a strong urge to cry welling up inside her.

She also longed to be with him.

But hearing him say that, she couldn't help but feel greedy once again.

"Well, Mr. Hansen, if you refuse to separate from me, then everything will be fine, right? After all, I've got everything I want. But if you refuse to separate, there's nothing I can do..."

Byron sneered, "You're quite clever, trying to get some benefits even when you're not keeping your word."
