Chapter 220 Coming To Light

Cora’s footsteps came to a halt, and she felt as though Byron’s deep and aloof gaze was scrutinizing her discreetly at that moment. She wondered if some part of her conversation with Evelyn just now had made him unhappy. As she pondered over the question, Byron extinguished his cigarette and approached her. “Let’s head back.” “Sure.” Since he said nothing, Cora didn’t dwell on it too much. Besides, Cora noticed that Evelyn was still watching them, so she wanted to show off the tight-knit bond shared between Byron and herself. Thus, she smiled and took Byron’s arm in front of Evelyn, engaging in light-hearted conversation with him before bidding farewell to Byron’s parents and leaving the mansion. While on their way back, Byron suddenly asked her, “Is the matter resolved?” After considering for a moment, Cora figured he was referring to the issue of her being suspended from work due to the sexual photos of her that someone posted. It seemed that he had overheard a lot of her conversation with Evelyn while standing in the nearby corner. “Yeah, it should be resolved now.” Cora knew Evelyn would resolve the matter in order to keep her gold medal. After saying that, Byron fell into a long silence and even lit a cigarette. The atmosphere in the small space of the car became so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
