Chapter 172 Anyone Is Better Than Me

• Me, but simply due to your obsession and possessiveness!” Cora had always been afraid of getting Lucas involved, and his current loss of contact only exacerbated her fear, causing her to speak impulsively. “I’ve had enough of your incessant interference! Please don’t appear in front of me again, and stop meddling with people. around me!” Byron seemed to read the hidden meaning in her words and asked in anger, “So, in your eyes, anyone is better than me, right?” He had just told her a fact, but she shifted all the blame onto him, which made him even more infuriated. “Yes! Anyone is better than you! Where is Lucas? Tell me now!” At least Lucas had promised her a future, saying he would take her to Kinton to meet his parents. Even Eason had introduced her to his parents and engaged with her. They both promised her marriage and a future, but Byron didn’t. He hadn’t even given her a proper relationship. Listening to her accusations, Byron suddenly felt that there was no need to give away the precious pearl anklet he had collected at a high price. Initially, he felt a bit distressed to watch her wait with an empty stomach and wanted to invite her for dinner.
• However, her questions and accusations made him feel that all his efforts were meaningless. Where is he? Why don’t you ask him yourself?” Byron felt that staying here would only make him a laughingstock, so he turned to walk out of the restaurant. “Wait, what did you do to Lucas? Tell me!” Cora hurriedly followed him, trying to pry an answer out of But Byron’s pace was swift, and he didn’t even spare a glance at the woman chasing after him. He got into the car parked by the roadside and quickly drove away. Initially, Cora tried chasing after his car, banging on the window. “Byron, stop the car! Tell me where he is!” “Byron Hansen!” Hearing her call his full name in desperation for another man, Byron was down Invitation Card “Cora, what’s wrong? I’m still at the office, working overtime. There was an issue with the code today. By the way, have you finished work?” Lucas’ voice sounded high, revealing his exhaustion. Cara paused for a moment, inexplicably recalling what Byron had said earlier about Lucas being with another woman.
• But she quickly dismissed those thoughts. “Lucas, did you forget that we had an appointment for dinner today?” “Ah! I actually forgot. I’m sorry, Cora. Are you still at the restaurant?” Lucas seemed a bit anxious. Looking at the nearby restaurant, Cora replied hurriedly, “No, I waited for a while, but you didn’t show up, so I came back.” “I’m sorry, Cora. I got too caught up with work and accidentally put my phone on silent.” “It’s alright. Just go home and rest early after work.” Cora’s smile faded as soon as she ended the call. Amidst the bustling streets, she felt lost, unsure of where to go. After that day, Cora also doubted whether Byron’s words about Lucas being with another woman were true, and she considered whether she should apologize to Byron for her outburst. However, in the end, Cora did nothing. After all, she had already made up her mind to have no further contact with Byron, so whether she apologized or not didn’t matter. As for the matter of another woman around Lucas, Cora still wanted to find out more before drawing any conclusions. But to her surprise, someone took the initiative to hand her an invitation card. “Dr. Lane, thank you for treating my wound. As a return, I’d like to give you this.”
