Chapter 57 Kill With Words

• At first, Cora wanted to push the man away. “Stop it. I haven’t taken a shower yet.” “No need. You’re going to wash up later anyway,” Byron said, and his voice was already hoarse. And then, it was another perfect night. In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived, and Cora arrived at the Princess Cruise as planned.
• Back when the Lane family was not bankrupt, Cora had also sailed on luxury cruises like this, so she wasn’t impressed by the extravagant entertainment facilities on the Princess Cruise. However, during the Lane family’s heyday, wherever Cora went, there would be a group of enthusiastic girls flattering her. Now, those people were just as flattering as before, but their flattery was no longer directed at Cora but at the ugly and phony Mia, who had desperately tried to surprise her in order to gain favor. “Mia, when is your wedding with Eason? Can I be your bridesmaid and share in your happiness?” “Mia, why have you lost so much weight recently? Look at how delicate your chin has become.”
• A group of girls swarmed around Mia, chatting away as if they were close friends. Cora couldn’t understand how they could say so many insincere words to Mia’s round face. They used to say it was morally wrong to steal someone else’s boyfriend and that attending Cora’s wedding would bring bad luck. However, their current enthusiasm to become Mia’s bridesmaids was perplexing, as they appeared desperate to partake in her misfortune. Cora wasn’t interested in their duplicity, but they instead came to provoke her. Among them, Ruby, dressed in a pink maxi dress, who looked like an internet celebrity, said the most unpleasant words. “Cora, why are you here too? I remember that your relationship with Miss Yoris isn’t so good. Are you here for Eason?”
