Snatched a Billionaire to be My Husband novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 It's Byron

Cora's gaze shot up in shock as she saw Carter standing before her, still wearing his poker face.

She remembered what Byron had mentioned during their video call about returning on Saturday.

Personally, Cora had nothing to do with Carter, and Carter didn't seem like someone who would meddle. Byron must have sent him here.

Cora quickly glanced outside the store, and there, in a car across the road, she spotted Byron sitting in the back seat, observing her through the window.

Under the dim lighting, his presence seemed meticulously sculpted. When their eyes met, Cora felt her heart race uncontrollably.

Having faced several instances of mistreatment since her downfall, even her former lover choosing to remain indifferent, yet Byron had come to her aid multiple times.

Cora's heart wasn't made of stone, and she couldn't help but feel touched.

But she couldn't allow this feeling, knowing that with Byron's status, he could have any woman he desired. It was impossible for him to fall in love with her.

In a moment of panic, Cora averted her gaze.

Meanwhile, Carter handed over his credit card to the shopping assistant. The black card caught immediate attention.

"I'll process the payment for you right away, sir."

The bank that issued this credit card was one of the businesses under the Hansen Group, but a black card was said to be the highest level, possessed only by a few prominent individuals in the country.

Even if the shopping assistant didn't know who Carter was, she was certain he was not someone she could afford to offend.

As Carter waited for the transaction to be completed, he nodded in acknowledgment at Jane. Mia, who stood next to Jane, went unnoticed by him.

But Mia couldn't bear to watch Carter help Cora out. She took the initiative to approach him.
