Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191 The So-Called Truth

Upon seeing Cora's confident expression, Arnold already had a suspicion in his heart about what might be going on.

However, Jane was the person he had protected and cared for since childhood, and he wouldn't let anyone ruin her. So, he immediately retaliated against Cora.

At that moment, Cora's eyes turned red with anger. Flora knew that Cora had wronged, and it might lead her to engage in a fierce confrontation with those bullying her. However, Cora wasn't sure if Flora would fight back fiercely, at least for now. One thing was clear to Cora. Arnold was pressuring Cora with her involvement.

If Cora exposed Jane in public as planned, the Yoris family would make things difficult for Flora since she lived in their hospital. Her life would be at their mercy.

Yet, Cora couldn't deny that Flora was indeed her weakness now. She couldn't simply ignore her.

So she had to swallow her frustration. "In the end, you're all just taking advantage of the fact that I have no one to back me up."

She wasn't the kind to wait for pity as a naive and innocent woman. After uttering those words, she quickly left the venue, determined not to let anyone witness her vulnerability and tears.

As for Byron...

For him, whether Cora plagiarized or not didn't make much difference. After all, Jane was his nominal wife, and they were in the same interest group. He would naturally side with Jane, just like Arnold and the others.

So, Cora didn't hold any hope for Byron and didn't want to focus on this matter any longer.

The event host was also at a loss. He never expected the award ceremony would turn into such a chaotic situation. He hesitated. "So, what about this award?"

His thoughts were simple. Why not let the person who allegedly plagiarized come to the stage and receive the award? Though this awardee seemed dubious, it was the quickest and most appropriate way to handle the situation for now.

As per Jane's scheme, once Cora stormed off in frustration, Darren would proceed with a similar proposition, just as she intended.

However, they didn't expect Byron, who had remained silent throughout the award ceremony, to take the microphone from the host amid the controversy.

"Just based on the words of two old men, you recklessly stamped the label of plagiarism on someone. The Woodcarving Association's award ceremony is truly arbitrary and capricious. Maybe it's better to cancel such competitions in the future," Byron announced coldly.

Byron's words ignited a fresh round of commotion in the room.

The host couldn't even maintain a smile anymore. He thought he was the one hosting a competition, but how did it turn into a scene straight from hell?

Arnold and Darren were equally stunned, never expecting Byron, who was expected to be delighted to attend the award ceremony for Jane, would disregard his prestige and openly challenge the fairness of the competition.

But the fact was that Byron made his statement and promptly left, leaving the Woodcarving Association members confused, unable to defend their position.

Jane was completely surprised by Byron's unexpected defense of Cora, disregarding even the reputation of their Yoris family. She couldn't conclude whether this turn of events meant victory or defeat in their calculated game.
