Chapter 404

Chapter 404 What Took You So Long?

Byron returned to the Morwick Mansion’s guest room in the early morning.

1/4 Carter followed him back to fetch the documents that needed to be dealt with tomorrow morning before going back to the hotel.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two opened the door and entered, they saw fragments of glass on the ground.

“Did anything happen to Mrs. Hansen?”

Carter’s words made Byron’s expression change.

He quickly walked into the house, and Carter followed closely behind.

Just when the two walked to the lit part of the room, they saw a scene that shocked them, although they were well–informed.

Nicholas‘ hands and feet were tied behind his back.

Such a weird posture must be uncomfortable. He screwed his face, and he was soaked through.

But he gritted his teeth, not daring to make a sound.

Chapter 404 What Took You So Long? Cora was taking a nap on the small sofa.

It was close to early morning. She had beat Nicholas just now and had consumed a lot of energy, so she was tired.

As Nicholas saw Byron and Carter walking into the room, his eyes lit up as if seeing saviors. He began to cry.

2/4 Cora was awakened by the sound of crying and kicked Nicholas. “Be quiet. What time is it? I have to sleep!”

Nicholas was tied into a ball.

With Cora’s kick, he rolled like a ball and didn’t stop until he hit the table leg.

The more Nicholas hurt, the more bitterly he cried.

“Byron, save me. Save me. This woman is like a devil. She didn’t bat an eye when she beat me up.”

Cora kept closing her eyes until she heard Byron’s name and realized something.

Opening her eyes, she saw the familiar figure not far away and threw herself into his arms.

“What took you so long?”

Cora was weeping pitifully, which made Nicholas suspect that this was not the same woman who just beat him up!

“Are you okay? Sorry, I shouldn’t have left you here alone.”

Byron stretched out his hands and took Cora into his arms, looking at her carefully.

3/4 After making sure that she didn’t have any obvious injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“This scumbag came in last night while you were away. I was so scared.”

Cora leaned in Byron’s arms, complaining about what Nicholas did.

“I didn’t. She was talking nonsense. She lured me to her room and beat me up.”

Nicholas knew that if he touched Byron’s girl, he would suffer, so he didn’t admit his mistake and pretended to be the victim.

“Look how badly she beat me. I just lost my mother, but she beat me up and slandered me. I don’t want to live anymore...”

But Byron didn’t believe him.

Hearing Nicholas say that he didn’t want to live anymore, Byron gave Carter a cold look. “Take him out. I’ll fulfill his wish later.”

Carter knew Byron well. He knew what Byron would do, so he picked up Nicholas and walked out.

Before walking out of the room, Carter glanced back at Cora, Chapter 404 What Took You So Long? impressed by what she did.

Cora had always been soft and weak in front of Carter. Carter thought that she needed Byron to protect her when she was bullied.

But the scene just now surprised Carter.

4/4 He didn’t expect that such a soft and weak woman would rather beat a tall man like Nicholas to tears than cause trouble for Byron.

Cora was smart and brave.

Before that, Carter felt that Cora was not good enough for Byron.

But tonight, he admired Cora sincerely.

He even thought that Cora was the rib specially made for Byron when God created man...
