Snatched A Billionaire To Be My Husband by Shabi's pen

Chapter 21 It’s Byron
Cora’s gaze shot up in shock as she saw Carter standing before her, still wearing his poker face.
She remembered what Byron had mentioned during their video call about returning on Saturday.
Personally, Cora had nothing to do with Carter, and Carter didn’t seem like someone who would meddle. Byron must have
sent him here.
Cora quickly glanced outside the store, and there, in a car across the road, she spotted Byron sitting in the back seat,
observing her through the window.
Under the dim lighting, his presence seemed meticulously sculpted. When their eyes met, Cora felt her heart race
uncontrollably.
Having faced several instances of mistreatment since her downfall, even her former lover choosing to remain indifferent,
yet Byron had come to her aid multiple times.
Cora’s heart wasn’t made of stone, and she couldn’t help but feel touched.
But she couldn’t allow this feeling, knowing that with Byron’s status, he could have any woman he desired. It was
impossible for him to fall in love with her.

In a moment of panic, Cora averted her gaze.
Meanwhile, Carter handed over his credit card to the shopping assistant. The black card caught immediate attention.
“I’ll process the payment for you right away, sir.”
The bank that issued this credit card was one of the businesses under the Hansen Group, but a black card was said to be
the highest level, possessed only by a few prominent individuals in the country.
Enter title…
Even if the shopping assistant didn’t know who Carter was, she was certain he was not someone she could afford to
offend.
As Carter waited for the transaction to be completed, he nodded in acknowledgment at Jane. Mia, who stood next to
Jane, went unnoticed by him.
But Mia couldn’t bear to watch Carter help Cora out. She took the initiative to approach him.
“Carter! What are you doing? This is not appropriate.” Mia was aware that Carter hailed from one of New York’s four great
families and had previously addressed him as Mr. Pope.
But now, she deliberately used his first name to remind him that he was also Byron’s assistant, implying that he should be
on her side.
Despite her setback with Byron, she still believed she would marry Eason and become part of the Hansen family. Carter
should afford her some respect, no matter what.
Unexpectedly, like Byron, Carter didn’t consider Mia as part of the Hansens yet. “We can talk about that after you get
married,” he replied, implying that Mia was only engaged and not yet a Hansen, therefore lacking the qualification to give
orders.
Mia was infuriated. She grabbed Jane, looking at her expectantly for support.
In Mia’s eyes, Jane was Byron’s fiancée, and Carter should surely respect her.
But Jane had her own way of thinking. Seeing how ruthlessly Carter treated Mia, she decided not to get involved to avoid
embarrassment.
On the other hand, Sally had completely forgotten the shock she felt upon seeing Carter and was now brimming with joy
