Chapter 203 Just An Assistant?
- Byron pushed Flora in her wheelchair around the flower bed. When they were about to go back to the ward, they bumped into Rachel Kilvert, the cousin of the Lane family. Rachel used to be Flora’s best friend. Because Flora didn’t like to go out to socialize, Rachel often went to the Lane family and would go out of her way to find various skin care products and nutritional items for Flora. Every time they met, she intimately chatted with Flora. Flora treated her very well and would give her high-end supplements. Although Flora couldn’t make decisions about the Lane family’s business, she would tell her father to help Rachel as much as they could. Therefore, with the help of the Lane family, Rachel’s in-law’s family developed well. But when the Lane family went bankrupt, Rachel seemed to have forgotten her friendship with Flora. She refused to help the Lane family and even mocked them when they came across her.
- So, when Rachel ran into Flora sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed out for a walk, she greeted her with a fake smile and said, “Isn’t this Mrs. Flora Lane? Didn’t you go crazy and almost burn yourself to death?” “Yeah. But I’m neither dead nor crazy. And I live a better life now. Are you angry?” Flora had never been a pushover, so naturally, she wouldn’t let Rachel have the upper hand. Seeing that she was at a disadvantage in front of Flora, Rachel rested her eyes on Byron, who was behind Flora. “This is…” The more Rachel looked at him, the more she felt he stood out and was even a little familiar. She guessed if Byron was the boss of a company her husband’s parents had worked with. Rachel knew Flora had a beautiful daughter. She and her friends had joked, saying she could marry a wealthy family just by her appearance. So Rachel couldn’t help but wonder if the joke had become a real thing.
- If the Lane family returned to high society because Cora married into a wealthy family, then Flora was still useful to her, and she couldn’t go too far in front of Flora. “He is Cora’s fiancé, Byron,” Flora briefly introduced. Rachel was still sizing up Byron, feeling that he looked more and more handsome and even had an extraordinary aura. Even though he didn’t even bother to greet her, Rachel didn’t feel his indifference and took it for granted. “Hi, may I ask where you work?” Rachel felt his name was a little familiar, so she greeted Byron with a smile. Her husband’s family was not classy enough to enter the high society in New York and could only be on the edge of it. So naturally, she had no chance to meet Byron, the leader of the most wealthy family. She had only vaguely heard of his name. “I work as an assistant at Borg Company.” Borg Company was a branch of the metaverse industry under the Hansen family.
