Chapter 24 His Indifference
In the banquet hall, Byron stood out amongst the crowd in his usual suit and leather shoes, engaging in conversations
with several important figures.
It wasn’t just his striking appearance that captured people’s attention, but also his extraordinary aura and demeanor.
Cora couldn’t help but focus her gaze on Byron, and it seemed that he noticed it too. Catching her off guard, he turned
around and met her eyes.
Cora felt a mix of nervousness and excitement. Thoughts of the shoes he had given her yesterday left her unsure of how
she should greet him.
Yet Byron showed no intention of greeting her whatsoever. He had already shifted his gaze away, continuing his

shoes yesterday.
Now, those thoughts had been shattered entirely, leaving Cora with a strong desire to walk away. “Sally, I…” she began,
wanting to tell her that she would like to leave.
But just then, a male voice came from behind her, tinged with pity. “Cora, why are you here?”
Cora turned around and saw a range of emotions in Eason’s eyes.
He looked more handsome than she had imagined in his black tuxedo, exuding nobility and sophistication.
Cora felt a bit dazed, unsure if it was Eason’s well-groomed appearance or Byron’s indifference that affected her.
Sally, not wanting Cora to be at a disadvantage, quickly interjected, “We’re here to attend your engagement party, Mr.
