Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Kill With Words “Sure, where else can I find such a good place where I can enjoy delicious food, have a great time, and even acquire a piece of exquisite rosewood?”

Cora sat in Byron’s arms, running her slender fingers along his Adam’s apple, hiding her fear beneath her enchanting smile.

Feeling tantalized by her flirt motion, Byron’s inner restlessness swelled, prompting him to firmly grasp the woman’s chin and kiss her passionately.

At first, Cora wanted to push the man away. “Stop it. I haven’t taken a shower yet.”

“No need. You’re going to wash up later anyway,” Byron said, and his voice was already hoarse.

And then, it was another passionate night...

In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived, and Cora arrived at the Princess Cruise as planned.

Back when the Lane family was not bankrupt, Cora had also sailed on luxury cruises like this, so she wasn’t impressed by the extravagant entertainment facilities on the Princess Cruise.

However, during the Lane family’s heyday, wherever Cora went, there would be a group of enthusiastic girls flattering her.

Now, those people were just as flattering as before, but their flattery was no longer directed at Cora, but at the ugly and phony Mia, who had desperately tried to surpass her in order to gain favor.

“Mia, when is your wedding with Eason? Can I be your bridesmaid and share in your happiness?”

“Mia, why have you lost so much weight recently? Look at how delicate your chin has become.”

A group of girls swarmed around Mia, chatting away as if they were close friends.

Enter title...

Cora couldn’t understand how they could say so many insincere words to Mia’s round face.

They used to say it was morally wrong to steal someone else’s boyfriend and that attending Cora’s wedding would bring bad luck. However, their current enthusiasm to become Mia’s bridesmaids was perplexing, as they appeared desperate to partake in her misfortune.

Cora wasn’t interested in their duplicity, but they instead came to provoke her.

Among them, Ruby, dressed in a pink maxi dress, who looked like an internet celebrity, said the most unpleasant words.

“Cora, why are you here too? I remember your relationship with Miss Yoris isn’t so good. Are you here for Eason?”

Cora remembered that in order to become her bosom friend, Ruby had once gone out of her way to mock Mia, just like she was doing to her now.

Ruby was probably afraid that Mia would hold a grudge against her for having previously mocked Mia on Cora’s behalf.

So she tried her best to perform. “Eason and Mia are engaged. It’s not right for you to still have your eye on him.”

Mia didn’t say anything to stop Ruby. She just stood among the flatterers and watched Cora like it had nothing to do with her.

Mia and Cora had never gotten along well due to their feelings for Eason, and the incident where Cora had used a recorded threat against Mia further strained their relationship. Mia didn’t like Cora.

Mia believed that Cora would be scared away by the hurtful words. However, Cora tucked her tousled hair, which was blown onto her cheeks by the sea breeze, adjusted her enchanting red halter dress, and smiled calmly at Ruby.

“Ms. Kallis, don’t you know what happened at their engagement banquet?”

Before Ruby could respond, Cora continued, “Oh, I remember now. It seems like the Kallis family hasn’t been doing so well lately, and naturally, you wouldn’t be qualified to attend such a grand occasion.”

These seemingly simple words cut deep into the hearts of the two individuals.

The Kallis family had been on a decline recently, so the Donald family’s engagement didn’t even include them on the guest list. This had been itching at Ruby. But Cora openly revealed the reason in front of so many people, which was like killing Ruby with her words!

Mia felt even more strongly about it. Just as everyone appeared to have forgotten about the humiliating incident that occurred at the engagement party, Cora unexpectedly talked about that topic again. It was as if she had conjured back everyone’s memories, and everyone heard that smile meaningfully.

Mia felt an immediate surge of anger, wishing she could tear Cora’s heart out!

In fact, Mia was really ready to take a move.

But Cora acted faster than her!

“I’m just here as an invited guest for the birthday party. Don’t provoke me, or else...”

Cora didn’t finish her sentence. She simply waved her phone in Mia’s direction.

Cora’s intentions were clear. She was telling Mia that she still had the recording of Jane issuing a fake medical certificate for Mia. If Mia caused trouble for her at the birthday party, Cora wouldn’t mind exposing the recording. By then, Mia and her beloved bosom friends would both be in big trouble.
