Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 317

"What price?" Cora adjusted her attire, acting nonchalantly.

"The price of leaving Byron," Evelyn added.

This remark caught Cora's attention, and she looked up at Evelyn.

With a smile, Evelyn continued, "I'm sure you've noticed Madam Hansen's frequent interactions with me lately, haven't you? Even today, when Byron invited you to his home for dinner, she asked for me too.

"That's right. The truth is, Madam Hansen, hopes that Byron and I will be together. Even though Byron has proposed to you, she still wishes for her future daughter-in-law to be me."

Cora had already noticed all that Evelyn mentioned.

During this period, Nora kept mentioning Evelyn's excellence in front of Byron. She even frequently arranged for Cora to interact with Evelyn, hoping to make Cora feel inferior.

However, no one expected Cora would surpass Evelyn's proud marksmanship, leading to the situation that unfolded during the dinner.

"You being with Byron is just a matter of enjoying your youth. When your looks fade, someone as picky as Byron won't even spare a second glance at you. Eventually, you'll be discarded just like anyone else. Why not take a large sum of money now, while you're still young, and find someone you can spend a lifetime with?"

Evelyn spoke as if she was considering Cora's best interests, but Cora suddenly burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Evelyn didn't like the way Cora was laughing, as if mocking her despite not doing anything to win.

"I just think Mr. Hansen was right when he said you don't think before you speak," Cora replied.

"How dare you insult me!" With her status in the Cross family, few people dared to ridicule Evelyn like this.

Despite Nora's façade of friendliness and the chances she seemingly offered, Cora saw right through her hypocrisy and was already holding a grudge.

Now, with Evelyn proudly displaying her advantages, Cora couldn't just let her get away with it.

"Miss Lane, I've already given you opportunities, but since you won't take the soft route, I'll have to resort to more forceful means," Evelyn retorted before she turned to leave.

Cora couldn't help but smirk internally. Wasn't she already using forceful means?

After a moment's consideration, Cora had a sudden idea. Cora pretended to answer a call, holding her hand to her ear as if speaking on the phone, "Hey, Steve? What's up? I heard you might be looking for new talent for the National Shooting Team. Well, if you're interested, I think I might be a perfect fit."

As Cora finished her make-believe conversation, she noticed Evelyn's footsteps coming to an abrupt halt and started rushing toward her.
