Chapter 253 Diverted Misfortune?

• “I don’t think sitting in that position guarantees anything, but it’s still better than those who have no chance, right?” In the end, Cora couldn’t help herself and retorted back. Sara was well aware that Cora’s statement was referring to Jane. It instantly ignited a fire of anger within her. “You’ve been acting so smug lately. What’s there to be proud of? The Hansen family won’t accept someone like you who brings no benefits. Maybe shortly, you’ll end up dead in the streets. Don’t blame me for not warning you.” Sara intended to redirect the conversation toward the Hansen family, hoping to divert suspicion away from herself. However, Cora’s quick thinking made her realize that Sara might be trying to shift blame onto someone else. “Are you trying to frame someone else for the crime?” Cora asked. This caught Sara off guard, and she stammered, “What do you... What do you know?” She couldn’t possibly know about yesterday’s incident and suspect that she was behind it, right? Without hesitation, Cora smirked and responded, “The incident was indeed orchestrated by you.”
• In truth, Cora was generally kind to people, and she only had a few people she had conflicts with. Flora was the person who wanted to get rid of Cora the most, but she was in the hospital and didn’t have the resources, so Cora ruled her out. Jane was also a suspect. But she was cunning and hypocritical. She would never directly get her hands dirty. That left only Sara. Sara was the only one who liked to be aggressive towards her, just like when she had her kidnapped before. After eliminating other possibilities, Cora focused on Sara and decided to test her intentions. To her surprise, the test confirmed her suspicions. However, Cora did not feel relief after knowing Sara was the culprit. Instead, she felt deep sadness and resentment towards Sara. If only Sara were Jane’s biological mother. “Do you have any evidence it was me?” After Cora discovered her, Sara asked without showing any fear.
• Sara knew that she had taken care of the phone card and the person who committed the crime, so there was no way anyone could find any evidence against her. Sara tried to be evasive with her words, hoping to frustrate Cora. There would be no evidence, even if Cora recorded their conversation. In Sara’s mind, causing Cora to have a miscarriage would be the ultimate victory. However, to Sara’s surprise, Cora shook her head and said, “There might be no concrete evidence, but it’s enough to make me give up.” Sara couldn’t make sense of why Cora seemed so despondent. Sara was puzzled. She thought that provoking Cora would lead to a bitter argument. After all, Cora had taken Byron away and seemed to be living a promising life. If anyone should be feeling desolate, it should be Jane and the Yoris family. “I’ll be leaving this city soon, probably never to return in this lifetime,” Cora suddenly declared, leaving Sara even more puzzled. The decision to leave the city was made when she parted ways with Byron. Initially, being with Byron lessened the desire.
