Chapter 381 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 retort 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 a deep sadness and resentment towards Sara.
If only Sara were Jane’s biological mother.
“Do you have any evidence it was me?”
Sara asked, not showing any fear after being discovered by Cora.
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 had lessened the desire.
But last night, the feeling to leave grew stronger, prompting her to discuss it with Byron.
Surprisingly, Byron agreed to the idea.
Perhaps Byron was worried that the incident of yesterday’s intentional collision might repeat itself if Cora stayed in the same city. So, after discussing the matter, they decided that after Cora finishes her internship at the end of the month, she would move to another city to start a new life.
Sara couldn’t quite comprehend Cora’s farewell gesture.
She wondered if it was intentional, given their complicated relationship.
“You’re not coming back, then don’t come back. I’m not looking forward to seeing you, so spare me the pretense,” Sara muttered.
“You can perceive whatever you want.” Cora smiled, indifferent to Sara’s reaction, and walked away.
It amused her that this woman, her biological mother, had gone to such lengths to lead her to misery and suffering.
Sara stared at Cora’s retreating figure, her mind already plotting new schemes
