Chapter 287 Be the Target?
1/5
Cora didn’t know what Byron was doing behind the scenes. She only knew they had met someone
when they bought gifts
for Flora in the mall.
At that time, Byron asked Cora, “How about the mango tart?”
“Other flavours of tart are fine, but not mango. My mom is allergic to mangoes.”
As soon as Cora finished speaking, a man bowed before her and Byron in the blink of an eye.
“Mr. Hansen, please let me go. I know I was wrong.”
Cora stared at the man in front of her, whose suit was terribly
wrinkled. She was stunned for a long time before she realized
he was Wesley, who took advantage of the loss of Byron’s
power to humiliate him at the Hansen family’s party last time.
Actually, she didn’t like to be aggressive. But she felt extremely upset when she recalled the bald

disdainfully at the dinner party last time.
Byron was about to ignore Wesley, but Cora wanted to teach

him a lesson.

So when Wesley bowed before them, Cora asked, “Who are you?”
Wesley raised his head in a daze. He was stunned

momentarily by Cora’s gorgeous face but suddenly felt an icy stare on him.
He turned his head and immediately met Byron’s deep and frosty eyes. He quickly lowered his eyes,
not daring to look at Byron and offend Cora with his eyes.
“Mrs. Hansen, I’m Wesley. I accidentally offended Mr. Hansen and you before. Please forgive me.”
Wesley had shown the humblest manner. Even though the surrounding people in the mall were drawn
to him and talked about him, he didn’t take it seriously.
Even if he were asked to lick their feet now, Wesley would do it,
as long as the Ashton Group wouldn’t go bankrupt.
The Ashton Group was on the verg
of bankruptcy.

No one would have expected the Ashton Group to fall upon hard times after the dinner party and its
century–old
foundation to be on the verge of collapse.
Wesley knew everything happened because he tried his best

to humiliate Byron and curry favour with Mark at the dinner
party.
Wesley regretted being unable to see the situation and taking the lead to humiliate Byron.
Now that Byron’s identity had changed, everyone in the Hansen family respected him.
Although Mark dominated the whole matter, he was Byron’s family. Byron wouldn’t be ruthless to him
no matter what.
In this way, Wesley would take all the blame.
He tried his best to curry favour with Byron, hoping he could keep the century–old business of the
Ashton family.
But apparently, he failed to please Cora by respectfully calling her “Mrs. Hansen“. She seemed to be
smiling but was actually mocking Wesley.

“Now I remembered. Mr. Ashton, right? Why are you bowing? Why don’t you ask Byron to help you up
so that I can fan you and peel some grapes for you.”
Cora’s words scared Wesley out of his wits.

But he knew that everything she had said was just to fight for his justice.
“No. I don’t deserve to be called Mr. Ashton in front of you. Please just call me Wesley. I made a big
mistake that day and offended you two. And I’m truly sorry for what happened. I shouldn’t have belittled
Mr. Hansen to please someone else when Mr. Hansen lost power.”
Wesley quickly apologized and made proper self–criticism.
“We accept your apology, but we will not forgive you.”
Cora’s answer made Wesley pin his hope on Byron.
“Mrs. Hansen is a woman, after all, and her vision may not be as far–sighted as men. Mr. Hansen…”
Wesley even wanted to trade with Byron to keep the Ashton Group temporarily.
He believed a person with a broad perspective like Byron
should know how to choose in the face of interests and
wouldn’t be as narrow–minded as a woman like Cora.
But before he finished speaking, Byron interrupted him, “What
she says is exactly my point.”
