Chapter 189 He Did Not Believe Her?

1/5 In fact, Cora secretly made a finger heart to Byron only to thank him for attending the award ceremony today. She did not intend to show her affection in front of his fiancée.

But Byron also raised his glass to her secretly...

Seeing his actions, Cora was a little nervous, afraid that Jane would see it.

But anything that could go wrong would go wrong.

When Cora turned around in a panic, she met Jane’s resentful eyes.

Cora smiled awkwardly. “Dr. Yoris, Mr. Hansen is modest and polite. He is such a true gentleman from a prestigious family.”

What Jane heard was that Cora was showing off her closeness with Byron, which disgusted her.

But she still replied to Cora with an insincere smile, “Byron treats everyone the same. It is just his good manner.”

2/5 Yes, Jane was implying to Cora that no matter what Cora did, she was no more than a wh re to Byron.

But this made Jane feel she had to go through with the plan tonight. Otherwise, she would die from anger and grievance.

Afterward, they all took their seats for the announcement of the awards tonight.

There were ten awards in total, and the most valuable one was the Most Creative Beginner Award.

Basically, everyone who won the Most Creative Beginner Award would become a master in the field after several years of experience.

Therefore, this award became the top priority of competition for countless beginners.

Byron was specially arranged as the presenter of this award because he was the most authoritative man in New York.

Arnold also revealed this. “Cora, both your and Jane’s works were selected for the shortlist. But in order to avoid suspicion, I did not participate in the selection. People might talk if I did.”

Cora initially didn’t care much about winning the award, but after she knew Byron was the award presenter, she changed her mind and hoped to win.

In this way, even if she and Byron were separated in the future, she would have more things to remember him by.

3/5 Maybe it was because G d heard Cora as she prayed in her heart. The host read out Cora’s name.

“Congratulations to Cora for winning the Most Creative Beginner Award in this woodcarving competition.”

The host also invited Byron, the award presenter, to the stage. Then Cora’s work was shown on the big screen to introduce some details and techniques she used.

With warm applause, Cora walked towards Byron on stage. She felt as if she were dreaming.

Perhaps the excitement went to her head and created an illusion. Cora felt like it was her wedding with Byron. Not only that, Cora actually felt that this scene was extremely familiar as if it had happened years ago...

But the dreamy award presentation was interrupted by an old male voice, “Wait a minute.”

Everyone looked at the old man. It was Darren Connor, the chairman of the Woodcarving Association.

“Mr. Connor, is there anything?”

“Yes. And it’s urgent!” Darren replied.

4/5 The host was busy presenting the awards, so he said, “Can we talk about it after the awards ceremony?”

“No! Because someone plagiarized!” Everyone present was surprised to hear what Darren said.

“Who plagiarized?” The host was stunned.

“It’s Cora, the winner of the Most Creative Beginner Award.

Her work is eighty percent similar to work No. 7.”

“Work No. 7?” The host was also puzzled, but the people present began to chatter. So the host said, “Then staff backstage, please show photos of work No. 7.”

When the works were put on the big screen for comparison, Cora turned to look at Byron nervously, only to find he was also looking at her thoughtfully. Cora couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

Cora was stunned and even forgot to breathe.

Did he also doubt her?
