Chapter 518 Scapegoat
It was Carter.
He said, “Mr. Hansen, are you attending the meeting this
afternoon? If not, I’ll reschedule it.”
Without hesitation, Byron replied, “Reschedule it.”
Right now, nothing was more important than watching over
his wife and child.

But just as he was about to hang up, Carter suddenly asked,
“There’s something about Miss Lane. Are you interested in hearing about it?”
In the past, Carter would have directly reported anything related to Cora.
But lately, Byron’s unpredictable mood made him uncertain if he should bring up certain topics.
So, he left the decision to Byron.
Carter had expected Byron to respond in his usual way, perhaps expressing annoyance at his interference before getting to the main point.

However, Byron cut to the chase this time, asking, “What is it?”
With permission, Carter continued, “The Yoris family released a segment of hospital surveillance video showing Miss Lane smashing an abandoned infusion bottle and threatening Mrs. Sara Yoris!”
“Threatening? She wouldn’t do such a thing. It must be someone provoking her again,” Byron said firmly, leaving Carter wondering what had happened on Earth.
Despite his confusion, Carter continued his report, “The surveillance video is noisy, and they were far from the camera, making it difficult to hear what they were talking about. However, the Yoris family claims that Miss Lane did it out of jealousy to snatch the glory of the first person to cure cancer from Miss Yoris.”
Carter added, “The Yoris family has called the police, and there’s a lot of online buzz, with people attacking Miss Lane, demanding that she pay the price for her reckless behavior.”
Byron felt a headache coming on.
He was certain that Cora couldn’t have done such a thing, and it must be the Yoris family causing trouble again.
Indeed, ever since the news of Jane’s divorce from Harry broke

Moreover, it was rumored that these two families were cutting business ties.
The Cross family had supported the Yoris Group’s development in the past few years.
And now, if the former chose to cut ties, it would be a devastating blow to the Yoris family.
Byron realized that this attack against Cora was merely the Yoris family’s trick to deflect attention from their situation.
“Send some b*dyguards to protect Cora. Hurry up.”
Byron’s order without delays surprised Carter.
Carter couldn’t resist teasing, “What’s happening today? No more beating around the bush?”
Such straightforward concern for Cora was a far cry from Byron’s attitude yesterday!
Byron calmly replied, “Is there any problem that I protect my wife and child?”
“Your wife and child? Where did the child come from?” Carter was puzzled and wanted to ask further.

However, Byron had already decisively hung up the phone.
He noticed several girls approaching Cora at the fast–food restaurant with Coke in hand.
Byron rushed to the restaurant as fast as he could, but it was too late.
The girls ended up splashing the Coke all over Cora’s face!
When he arrived, Cora’s hair, face, and dress were drenched with Coke and ice cubes.
The girls pointed at her and cursed, “You shameless woman, who do you think you are?”
“You haven’t even studied cancer, yet you dare to steal Dr. Yoris‘ research achievements!”
“Go to hell!”
