Chapter 22 His Questions

However, there was no sign of Byron's car outside. Jane did notice a car she didn't know, but shecouldn't be sure if Byron was inside, as the dark-tinted windows were tightly closed.

Eventually, Jane figured that Byron wouldn't be in that car. If he were, why would Carter havestepped out to handle his personal matters? He should be staying with his boss.

Jane withdrew her gaze, feeling a tinge of disappointment.

Meanwhile, the shopping assistant had already processed the payment and handed the receipt andcard to Carter. "Thank you very much, sir."

Carter nodded slightly at Cora before walking out of the store.

Cora contemplated whether she should catch up with Carter and return the shoes to him. Just then,Mia approached, "Are you with Carter? Does Eason know about this?"

"It's none of Eason's business who I'm with. Nor your business. Stay out of it," Cora retorted, butdidn't answer clearly who she was really with.

Yet, in Mia's eyes, Cora's response seemed to confirm her relationship with Carter.

"I wondered why you agreed to break up with Eason so easily! Turns out, you've already foundsomeone else," Mia sneered.

"I'm not shameless, unlike you," Cora calmly replied.

"Who's shameless?!" Mia grew angry and rushed forward.

Cora dodged aside, "You heard me.”

Seeing the conflict about to escalate in public, Jane quickly intervened, grabbing Mia. "We shouldgo! You have a skincare appointment, remember? Didn't you want to be the most beautiful bride-to-be?"

Jane offered an apologetic smile to Cora and Sally before turning around and taking Mia away."You handled that well, Cora! I'm proud of you," Sally praised, making faces at the retreating figuresof Mia and Jane

Cora awkwardly smiled. In truth, she never liked engaging in arguments, and her parents didn'tapprove of it either.

But when pushed to the edge, one had to fight back. Besides, Mia had found trouble with her waytoo many times, and she couldn't tolerate it any longer.

Perhaps attending Mia's engagement party was the right move. Cora had been avoiding Mia andEason, making herself an easy target for their mistreatment.

"I really don't understand why Jane could be Mia's friend,” Sally muttered, looking at Jane's back.Indeed, Jane looked charming and gentle. She was also a medical professional, which easily wonSally's favor.

But Cora felt that Jane wasn't as nice and harmless as she might look. Although she hadn'tparticipated in the conflict just now, her eyes and the way she emphasized the words “bride-to-be’when she took Mia away felt like a taunt aimed at Cora.

Perhaps due to her recent experiences, Cora had become more cautious in everything and couldn'tbe as naive as Sally.

"Let's go,” she didn't address Sally's comment.

Shortly after they left the shoe store, Sally was called by the gynecologist on duty for assistance, andCora returned to her apartment.

After some hesitation, Cora sent Byron a text message.

[Thank you, Mr. Hansen. I'll pay you back for the shoes when I have the money.]

She thought that as busy as Byron, he wouldn't have time to respond to her message. But Byronreplied almost immediately.

[Do you like that brand?]

Confused, Cora replied with a question mark. Whether she liked that brand or not, she couldn'tafford them now, and it had nothing to do with Byron.

However, this time her message received no response. Cora didn't dwell on it and started to flipthrough books related to cardiac surgery.

About an hour later, her doorbell rang. When Cora opened the door, she found the shoppingassistant from earlier and her colleagues carrying over a dozen boxes, with many more on theground.

"Miss Lane, these are all limited edition shoes from our brand.”

Cora was bewildered. "I didn't buy these..."

"Mr. Pope asked us to deliver them.”

Cora was stunned on the spot. She finally understood why Byron had asked her that question.
