Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 416

Byron suddenly began to associate Cora's recent gloomy mood with the investigation Gabe was conducting...

"Should we stop him?" Carter asked.

"No need. You can't hide from what should come."

Byron glanced over at the woman who Nora had brought along to join their card game, his eyes flickering with mixed emotions.

Once he finished his call with Carter, he approached Cora.

Seeing her drawing some great cards but playing it poorly, he raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you know how to play cards?"

"Well, I've never learned it before. I was afraid of losing all my money."

With her previous focus on studying medicine and Flora draining up all her free time, she hadn't had the chance to learn these things.

"Don't worry. We're all family. Winning or losing stays within the family!" Nora added, "Tonight, if you lose, it'll count as my loss, and if you win, it'll be yours."

"But that's not fair for you."

Cora had overheard their conversation earlier and knew that this single game could cost at least the price of a limited-edition designer handbag.

If she lost too much, Nora would suffer significant losses.

"It's fine. I'll teach you. In this game, you start by discarding these two..." Byron stood behind her, slowly teaching her how to play.

Cora was a quick learner, and after a few rounds, she grasped everything.

Later on, Byron took a phone call and dealt with a few contracts.

Seeing Byron leave, Eason was thinking about going over to help Cora.

However, Cora said, "Nephew, if you want to play cards, you can play by yourself."

Eason felt frustrated. He had only wanted to help Cora while Byron was away because she might not know how to play alone.

But, of course, he also wanted to leave a good impression on her.

However, Cora had taken his good intentions as nonsense and even called him nephew.

It was simply humiliating!

So when Ben needed to use the restroom, Eason took the opportunity to step in.

He was full of spirit, intending to teach Cora a painful lesson and make her beg him to go easy on her...

When Byron returned after handling urgent documents, the card game was already over.

"Nobody is playing anymore?" He asked.

Eason had lost so much money and already felt humiliated in front of Cora.

Now, being mocked by Byron in front of everyone only added fuel to his anger.

But what Eason knew very well was that he couldn't afford to offend Byron.

So he could only indignantly say, "No need. I can afford it!"

Then, he left the Hansen Mansion before anyone else.

Once he left, the others began to disperse as well.

When Byron left with Cora, she was still holding her phone, counting the remaining balance of her bank account.

"Why are you so excited about such a small amount of money?" Byron somehow sounded a bit annoyed.

It wasn't because he looked down on that sum of money. Rather, he didn't like that it came from Eason's pocket.

However, Cora's joy came precisely from taking that money away from Eason.

"You don't understand! It's not about the amount of money. I'm thrilled because I managed to win the money of that scumbag!"

Seeing Cora's charming appearance, Byron suddenly asked, "If there ever comes a day when you hate me, would you also go to any lengths to get back at me?"
