Cora felt wronged.
She was only trying to get treatment for Martin and had never been involved with any other man.
But Byron misunderstood her so much, even shouted at her in front of the bustling crowd on the ground floor of the Hansen Group.
At that moment, although Cora had warned herself not to cry for such a man anymore, she couldn't help but feel her eyes welling up with tears.
"I just have a relative with psychological issues, and I want to find Dr. Watts for treatment."
Cora tried hard to explain.
But Byron stubbornly asked, "Which relative?"
Four years ago, he already knew Cora wasn't biologically related to the Lane family, and Cora still hadn't come back to the Yoris family.
Moreover, Cora almost had no contact with the Lane family's relatives since the bankruptcy of the Lane family.
So when Cora suddenly mentioned a relative, it made it hard for Byron not to suspect that she was running errands for Jerry.
"Someone you don't know. Please, can you just tell me how to contact him?"
If it weren't for Martin and if she had any other options, Cora wouldn't use such a submissive tone in front of him.
But Byron felt furious as he mistakenly believed that Cora was beseeching him for the benefit of another man.
Thus, Byron looked down on Cora with contempt and even refused to give her an answer.
Not getting an answer, Cora became more and more anxious. "Do you want me to beg you?"
Finally, Byron reacted.
But instead of responding to Cora's question, he strode forward, bumped into her shoulder, and walked into the conference room.
Cora watched Byron's receding figure and couldn't help but shed tears of frustration.
But before Cora could fully release her grievances, her phone rang.
It was a call from the head nurse Sadie.
Cora picked up the call and panicked at what Sadie said on the other end.
