Chapter 142 He Did Not Believe Her

• In fact, Cora secretly made a finger heart for Byron, only to thank him for attending the award ceremony today. She did not intend to show her affection in front of his fiancée. But Byron also raised his gla*s to her secretly. Seeing his actions, Cora was a little nervous, afraid that Jane would see them. But anything that could go wrong would go wrong. When Cora turned around in a panic, she met Jane’s resentful eyes. Cora smiled awkwardly. “Dr. Yoris, Mr. Hansen is modest and polite. He is such a true gentleman from a prestigious family.” What Jane heard was that Cora was showing off her closeness with Byron, which disgusted her. But she still replied to Cora with an insincere smile, “Byron treats everyone the same. It is just his good manner." Yes, Jane was implying to Cora that no matter what Cora did, she was no more than a whinny to Byron.
• But this made Jane feel like she had to go through with the plan tonight. Otherwise, she would die of anger and grievance. Afterward, they all took their seats for the announcement of the awards tonight. There were ten awards in total, and the most valuable one was the Most Creative Beginner Award. Basically, everyone who won the Most Creative Beginner Award would become a master in the field after several years of experience. Therefore, this award became the top priority of competition for countless beginners. Byron was specially chosen as the presenter of this award because he was the most authoritative man in New York. Arnold also revealed this. “Cora, both your and Jane’s works were selected for the shortlist.
• But in order to avoid suspicion, I did not participate in the selection. People might talk if I did.” Cora initially didn’t care much about winning the award, but after she knew Byron was the award presenter, she changed her mind and hoped to win. In this way, even if she and Byron were separated in the future, she would have more things to remember him by. Maybe it was because God heard Cora as she prayed in her heart. The host read out Cora’s name. “Congratulations to Cora for winning the Most Creative Beginner Award in this woodcarving competition.” The host also invited Byron, the award presenter, to the stage. Then Cora’s work was shown on the big screen to introduce some details and techniques she used.
