Chapter 413 The Evidence
However, under Jane’s gaze, Byron simply smiled and said, “I just witnessed your proposal. Congratulations.”
He showed no attachment, casually offering his blessings.
He didn’t even spare a glance for Jane throughout the entire
encounter.

At that moment, Jane tasted the metallic tang of blood in her mouth, and her world seemed to shatter into pieces.
The motivation that had driven her forward until now suddenly vanished, leaving her feeling empty.
If it wasn’t for Harry supporting her, she feared she would have already slumped to the ground, let alone speak to Byron.
Cora followed suit, exclaiming with joy and politely saying, “Remember to invite us to your wedding.”
“Of course, Cora. Today’s expenses are on me. I wish you and Byron a pleasant evening.”

After receiving Cora’s nod, Harry turned to other guests in the restaurant and said, “Today, all of your expenses are on me. Thank you all for witnessing my proposal.”
Upon hearing Harry’s words, the guests clapped and cheered,
Chapter 413 The Evidence expressing their blessings.
With Harry’s generosity, the atmosphere in the restaurant became exceptionally cheerful.
Jane’s desolate and helpless appearance seemed out of place amidst the lively ambiance.
Later, Harry led Jane away.
Cora had eaten a bit too much today and felt a little stuffed.
As they left the restaurant, she even suggested, “Let’s take a walk. We both ate a lot.”
“No need. I know a better way to aid digestion.”
“What is it?”
“I’ll tell you when we get home!”
Cora followed Byron home in confusion, only to be taken directly to the bathroom to vent his desire. It was then she realized she had been fooled.
By the time early morning arrived, she was exhausted, having used up her energy from earlier, and she even felt a bit hungry.
She had to send Byron out to buy late–night snacks while she leaned against the edge of the bed, dozing off.
But then she suddenly received a message from Gabe. Cora

opened it and read what he had sent: [Cora, I’ve obtained evidence that Mr. Hansen caused our family to go bankrupt. I’m going back to New York this weekend!]
Having been overpowered by Byron multiple times before,
even though she had taken a shower, she still felt hot after such pa*sionate activities.
However, the moment she read the contents of the message, she felt like someone had poured cold water over her, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
Was there really evidence?
Did Byron truly cause the Lane family to go bankrupt, pushing her beloved father onto a desperate path?
Her hands trembled, and she couldn’t even manage to reply to Gabe’s message or ask him to directly send over the evidence.
Just then, Byron returned with the late–night snacks.
He placed them in her bowl and personally brought them over to her.
“Eat up. It’s your favorite soup, and I made sure they excluded the chives.”
However, Cora stared at the bowl of soup, remaining motionless for a long while.
“What’s wrong?”

Seeing her in a daze, Byron couldn’t help leaning forward to feel her forehead. “Are you feeling unwell?”
“No, I’m fine.”
Cora forced herself to appear calm as she took the soup and began eating.
But she suddenly felt sick after only a few spoonfuls.
She quickly set down the bowl and rushed to the bathroom to
vomit.
Witnessing this, Byron considered calling the family doctor to check on her.
“You don’t need to. I’m just exhausted,” Cora retreated into the comfort of her covers.
She stubbornly insisted, and Byron couldn’t do anything about it. “Rest for a while, and if you still feel unwell, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Cora nodded, making a conscious effort to force herself to fall asleep.
As for everything else, she could deal with it once her brother presented the evidence.
However, her mind was filled with frequent flashes of memories from childhood. Her father lifted her playfully above his head,

taught her how to write, and read her bedtime stories…
If Byron truly was the mastermind behind the Lane family’s bankruptcy, then he would be the one responsible for her father’s death.
5/5
How would she face her father and her brother if that were the
case?
