Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 His Return

The shopping assistant felt awkward. "These shoes are a limited edition, and we only have this one pair…"

"Mia! What're you doing?! You've stolen Cora's fiancé, and now you want to steal her shoes too?" Sally snapped.

She had been dragging Cora around for days to finally find a pair that caught their eye, and now Mia wanted to snatch it away again? Her fiery temper flared up instantly.

"Steal? You don't even have the money to buy these shoes," Mia sneered at Cora and Sally.

"Who says we don't have the money?!" Sally staked her dignity and, ignoring Cora's tugging at her sleeve, handed her own credit card to the shopping assistant.

Even if she had to live on a shoestring budget for the next few months, Sally would make sure Cora outshone Mia at the engagement banquet!

Little did they know that while they were caught up in the commotion over a pair of shoes, a car had parked across the street.

The window rolled down, revealing Byron's handsome face.

Carter, sitting in the driver's seat, reported, "Mr. Hansen, Miss Lane is in the shoe store, but… Miss Yoris also happens to be there."

Like others, Carter believed that Byron and Jane's engagement was a done deal, so he reminded Byron, wanting to avoid any unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings.

But Byron asked, "What does it matter to me if she's there or not?"

Carter frowned, sensing that there was more to Byron's words.

Byron didn't say anything more, just gazing at the shoe store across the street.

Through the glass window, Cora and Sally's trouble was clearly observed.

Byron lightly tapped his fingertip against the car window, his aloof gaze incomprehensible.

Mia looked angry and had even thought about ruining those shoes until the shopping assistant finished processing Sally's card and said, "Apologies, miss, but your card's credit limit is not sufficient…"

Mia instantly rejoiced, exclaiming, "See?! I KNEW they couldn't afford it!"

Sally's face turned ashen. "How much are these? I can pay with a card plus cash!"

"Seven thousand. Limited editions can be more expensive than others," the shopping assistant explained.

Seven thousand… Sally frowned. With her credit card limit and cash combined, she only had around four thousand.

Cora whispered, "It's okay, Sally, let's go."

Sally really didn't want Cora to always lose to Mia, but her wallet simply couldn't help them much.

Seeing Cora and Sally turn around to leave, Mia was even more convinced that they didn't have the money to buy those shoes.

"If you can't afford them, stop making a fool of yourselves! Take them off and hand them over," she taunted.

Though Jane didn't join in, she observed the scene with cold indifference. Clearly, she also held disdain for Cora and Sally, considering them lowly people without money.

Cora felt utterly embarrassed, but she had no choice but to take off the shoes.

Seeing Cora squatting down to remove the shoes, Sally couldn't stop blaming herself for her rashness.

However, right at that moment, a cool male voice rang out, "No need to take them off. Just wear them."
