Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Reluctant to Part

Byron came to Cora's apartment after getting off work as usual.

As soon as he pushed open the door, the gleaming gold bars in the living room caught his eye, dazzling him.

He frowned immediately. "Where did these come from?"

Cora pretended to be busy carving her competition piece and didn't even bother to turn around and look at him.

"They were blown in by the wind. Do you believe that?"

Byron was still staring at the gold bars, thinking of Carter mentioning something about Lydia withdrawing gold bars from major banks a couple of days ago.

He took a few steps forward, grabbed Cora, and made her face him.

"Who gave these to you?"

He already had a guess, but he couldn't help but want to force her to answer, hoping to hear the truth from her mouth.

"Mrs. Lydia Hansen, Eason's mother, your sister."

"Why did she give these to you?"

Byron approached slowly, his eyes reflecting her image clearly.

Cora found herself enjoying the sight of her reflection being the sole presence in his eyes, as it made her feel like he loved her just as much, to the point where his entire world revolved around her.

But Cora clearly knew that it was impossible.

Byron's heart would never belong to her after all.

And even if he did have feelings for her, it would only be a little. And it would be impossible for him to like her enough to completely ignore his own family.

With this in mind, Cora smirked and said, "Why? Of course, it's because she found out that I slept with you, afraid that I would ruin your reputation and the harmonious atmosphere of the Hansen family. So she let me take the money and leave. I think gold is more valuable, so I took the gold and didn't take the money."

She looked at him with a smile, and her expression was full of allure.

But only she knew that she was using her smile to conceal her inner desolation.
