Chapter 275 All Alone
Mark was shocked, and he even had some bad feelings.
Could it be that Byron was the domestic CEO of Sunda Group?
No…
Impossible!
He used to be in charge of the Hansen Group. How could he have enough time to do all this?
Amidst his self–doubt, Mark remained silent, causing Wesley to
grow impatient.
Wesley took a glance at Byron’s invitation card and chuckled, “This is an invitation for the domestic CEO of Sunda Group. You’re not part of the Sunda Group, so why did you come to this banquet with this invitation?”
As Wesley finished speaking, people around him sighed in agreement, “I never expected the once–glorious Mr. Hansen to steal someone else’s invitation card just to attend his own
family’s banquet.”

“How fortunes change.”
“To be honest, I think Mr. Hansen deserves his plight. He didn’t handle his interpersonal relationships well, always being arrogant and aloof. It was inevitable that he would have no friends and no one to help him in critical moments.”
The Yoris family continued to sit on the sidelines. In fact, solving Byron’s current situation was very simple for them. Each of them had an invitation card for the banquet, and each card allowed them to bring a partner.
If they were willing to speak up for Byron, he wouldn’t face any trouble.
But they didn’t. Instead, they all stood aside and did nothing.
Especially Sara, who sneered, “Now we’re just waiting to see how the former Mr. Moneybags will be driven out by his own family.”
Jane didn’t say anything, her expression unreadable. However, she also hoped that Byron would understand that once Osborn was gone, without the support of the Yoris family, he would be nothing.
Even if Byron regretted it and dumped Cora to win her back, Jane wouldn’t easily agree.

Harry also did nothing while hugging his partner.
His partner even teased him, “Mr. Cross, why don’t you go help
Mr. Hansen?”
“No need. We’re not that close,” Harry quickly shifted his gaze away from Byron as if he had forgotten that just over a month ago, he had boasted about being Byron’s closest buddy.
Eason and Lydia also looked at Byron as if he were a stranger.
Lydia told Eason, “We’re not that close to Byron, so there’s
no need to offend your other uncles for him and ruin our
cooperation.”
Meanwhile, Eason thought, “Cora, you’re such a stubborn
girl. So, I can only let you suffer first. Once you and Byron are
driven out together, experiencing the helplessness of having
no power or influence and being bullied by others, you will
realize how foolish you’ve been and come back to beg me to
get back together with you!”
But Cora was unaware of what Eason was thinking.
She just watched those people mocking and distancing
themselves from Byron, associating it with her own situation
after the Lane family went bankrupt. She was ridiculed and
avoided like a plague everywhere she went.

Suddenly, she felt that Byron was also quite pitiful.
“Pay no attention to them. The strongest ones are always alone, while the weak ones gather in groups,” she comforted him, moving closer to him and speaking softly.
Byron pinched her hand lightly. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
As people were focused on mocking Byron, no one noticed that Mark had left for a moment and was now leading
someone over.
“Actually, I also invited Mr. Ronald Yaxley from Sunda Group.”
Ronald was the employee of the Sunda Group that Mark
managed to reach. The successful cooperation between the Hansen Group and Sunda Group was also thanks to Ronald’s help in establishing contact with the domestic CEO of the Sunda Group.
Moreover, according to Ronald, that CEO’s last name was
Five.
This made Mark even more certain that Byron was merely
pretending to be “Mr. Five“, who rarely appeared in public, in
order to deceive others.
If Ronald exposed him in front of everyone, Byron would lose his reputation. And in the future, no one in New York would

want to cooperate with someone like him. It would be difficult for him to make a comeback.
Mark concealed his excitement and smiled, saying, “Mr. Yaxley, I apologize. It seems we accidentally sent the invitation card meant for Mr. Five to my brother.”
“Seriously? How careless you were. How could you send the
invitation card to the wrong person?” Ronald, who was almost bald, criticized Mark coldly.
“We’re very sorry. We’ve been so negligent that we actually sent the invitation card to Byron. So now I’d like to ask for your help, Mr. Yaxley…”
Mark wanted Ronald to call “Mr. Five” and publicly invite him to the banquet so that Byron’s lie would be exposed.
However, before he could finish speaking, the previously indifferent Ronald suddenly interrupted him and put on a flattering smile as he approached Byron.
“Mr. Five, why didn’t you tell me w
