Chapter 74 She Is a Shield!
As the elevator doors were about to close, Byron, who had just been smoking by
the flowerbed some distance away, stubbed out his cigarette and rushed in.
Cora ignored him and retreated to a corner.
She couldn’t help but secretly glance at him.
Byron adjusted his tie and tilted his head slightly to gaze at the ceiling lights of
the elevator. The mole at the corner of his eye tightened along with the tense line
of his jaw, making him more captivating.
Just now, their intimate activities only went halfway, and there was still the scent
of each other on their bodies.
Beneath their calm expressions, certain thoughts couldn’t help but stir restlessly.
Cora struggled to control her thoughts, not wanting them to be influenced by him.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, she quickly walked out.
However, Byron followed closely behind, unexpectedly lifting her up from the
waist and skillfully grabbing her hand. He unlocked the password lock and

forcefully took her into the room, where he began to do as he pleased with her.
“Mr. Hansen, I don’t want this anymore.” Seeing Byron tearing at her clothes,
trying to get straight to the point, Cora struggled.
But Byron ignored her resistance and continued forcefully pushing her down.
“You don’t want it? You took the initiative at the beginning.”
“I took the initiative, but didn’t you take advantage of me? Can’t you let me go?”
But Byron showed her through his actions that letting her go was impossible.
He asked her, “Do you still think I’m useless now?”
He was so fierce in their intimate moments, making Cora feel great discomfort
and even causing her to cry.
“Why are you so annoying? I just don’t want to be with a married man. Why do
you want to humiliate me like this? It’s not my fault that my family has fallen, and I
didn’t provoke you on purpose. Why don’t you let me go?”
The tearing pain in her b*dy caused Cora to collapse, causing her to cry
uncontrollably and vent out all the accumulated helplessness and resentment
she had been harboring in her heart during that period.
Seeing the teary-eyed woman in his arms, Byron couldn’t help but soften his
actions.
“I’m not a married man.” Although he felt there was no need to explain, seeing
how much Cora cared about the issue, Byron explained casually.
“You already have a fiancée. Aren’t you just a married man? Aren’t you being
hypocritical?” Cora was angry and spoke without thinking.
Byron didn’t take her words seriously in this state. “My father thought she was
suitable for me and wanted me to consider her as a girlfriend. We don’t have any
determined relationship, let alone any engagement ceremony. What kind of
fiancée is that?”
Cora clearly didn’t believe it. “If she’s not your fiancée, then why do you let others
call her that?”
“Their mouths aren’t sewn shut. Can I stop them one by one?”
Seeing that Cora still didn’t believe him, Byron asked, “Weren’t you close with
Eason and his family before? Did you hear about my engagement from them?”
Cora was stunned. She hadn’t heard about it.
So, it meant that Jane and Harry believed that the supposedly confirmed
marriage between Byron and Jane was actually just Jane’s wishful thinking.
From beginning to end, their relationship never received recognition from Byron,
the Hansen family, or even the Patton family.
This discovery made Cora suddenly feel that Jane was also quite pitiful.
Somehow, Byron seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly sneered,
“Do you think she is pitiful? Have you ever thought about how much benefits she
gained by claiming her relationship with me to the outside world?”
Cora frowned. “Mr. Hansen, you don’t seem like someone who would make a
loss. Why would you let her gain benefits for no reason?”
“It wasn’t for no reason that she gained those benefits. My father wanted me to
settle down quickly, but I didn’t want to enter the grave of marriage so soon.
Besides, someone doesn’t accept a married man. Taking her as a shield isn’t a
bad thing either.”
Byron explained it quite clearly. Jane and her family benefited from her status as
his fiancée, while Byron used Jane as a shield to ward off various arranged blind
dates set up by Osborn.
Byron only treated their relationship as a mutually beneficial cooperative
relationship, but Jane couldn’t see through it.
However, after listening to all this, Cora didn’t know whether to sympathize with
Jane or herself.
Although Jane had not been recognized by Byron or the Hansen family, it was
only temporary.
If one day, when Byron decided to settle down, she would smoothly become
Byron’s wife.
As for her, Byron might seem exceptionally kind to her, but he probably never
had any intention of marrying her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t refuse to bring her home just because she didn’t accept a
married man and would rather use Jane as a shield.
But Cora felt it might not be a bad thing for her. She was well aware of the
predicament she faced if she wanted to marry into the Hansen family.
As long as Byron wasn’t a married man and could temporarily provide her with a
spiritual haven, she felt it would maintain this kind of relationship was not bad.
Although Cora had such thoughts, she still felt a pang in her heart.
Was her already scarred heart handed over by her again in such conflict and
hesitation?
Feeling restless, she needed some solace. So when Byron k*ssed her again, she
didn’t refuse, and she even actively clung to his n*eck, enjoying the moment with
