Chapter 290 Just an Assistant?
Byron pushed Flora in her wheelchair around the flower bed. When they were about to go back to the ward, they bumped into Rachel Kilvert, the cousin of the Lane family.
Rachel used to be Flora’s bosom friend. Because Flora didn’t like to go out to socialize, Rachel often went to the Lane family and would go out of her way to find various skin care products and nutritional items for Flora. Every time they met, she
intimately chatted with Flora.
Flora treated her very well and would give her high–end supplements.
Although Flora couldn’t make decisions about the Lane
family’s business, she would tell her father to help Rachel as much as they could.
Therefore, with the help of the Lane family, Rachel’s in–law’s family developed well.
But when the Lane family went bankrupt, Rachel seemed to have forgotten her friendship with Flora. She refused to help the Lane family and even mocked them when they came
across.

So, when Rachel ran into Flora sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed out for a walk, she greeted her with a fake smile, “Isn’t this Mrs. Flora Lane? Didn’t you go crazy and almost burn yourself to death?”
“Yeah. But I’m neither dead nor crazy. And I live a better life
now. Are you angry?” Flora had never been a pushover, so naturally, she wouldn’t let Rachel have the upper hand.
Seeing that she was at a disadvantage in front of Flora, Rachel rested her eyes on Byron, who was behind Flora. “This
is…”
The more Rachel looked at him, the more she felt he stood out
and even a little familiar.
She guessed if Byron was the boss of a company her husband’s parents had worked with.
Rachel knew Flora had a beautiful daughter. She and her friends had joked, saying she could marry a top wealthy family just by her appearance.
So Rachel couldn’t help but wonder if the joke had become a real thing.
If the Lane family returned to high society because Cora
married into a wealthy family, then Flora was still useful to her,
and she couldn’t go too far in front of Flora.

“He is Cora’s fiancé, Byron,” Flora briefly introduced.
Rachel was still sizing up Byron, feeling that he looked more and more handsome and even had an extraordinary aura.
Even though he didn’t even bother to greet her, Rachel didn’t feel his indifference but took it for granted.
“Hi, may I ask where you work?”
Rachel felt his name was a little familiar, so she greeted Byron
with a smile.
Her husband’s family was not classy enough to enter the high society in New York and could only be on the edge of it. So naturally, she had no chance to meet Byron, the leader of the top wealthy family. She had only vaguely heard of his name.
“I work as an assistant in Borg Company.” Borg Company was a branch of the metaverse industry under the Hansen family. That was also how Cora introduced him to Flora.
However, Rachel’s expression changed after she heard Byron’s answer. “Just an assistant. I thought you were a big
shot!”
“No matter what, he’s better than your son, who doesn’t even know how to manage his business!” Flora naturally didn’t want

Rachel to see her family’s jokes.
“Sooner or later, my son will come back to inherit the family property. And I still have my son–in–law. My son–in–law also happens to work at Borg Company. But he is the manager of the company, not just an assistant.”
Rachel had a son and a daughter. Her son fought, drank, and made trouble. He was a typical negative example for parents to educate their children and a loser Rachel’s family never wanted to mention.
Her daughter was mediocre. She was not pretty as Cora and was academically weaker than her. But because of her youth, she stole a man, a manager in his early forties and old enough to be her father, from his wife and married him.
But for Rachel’s family, who laughed at the poor but not the prostitutes, they were proud of it.
Rachel was now proudly showing off her son–in–law, a cheating old scumbag, in front of Flora.
Flora naturally didn’t want Rachel to compare this kind of man with Byron. She immediately sneered and said, “Your son–in–law seems a little older than you. That’s not much of an accomplishment. Byron is still young and will definitely surpass him.”
Chapter 290 Just an Assistant?
“You want him to surpass my son–in–law? Impossible. Even if there is a bit of hope, I can make it come to naught now!”
Rachel hated the most that people talked about her son–in–law’s age. She immediately took out her phone.
“What do you want?” Flora had a bad feeling.
“Of course, I will ask my son–in–law to fire him.” Rachel
showed an extremely proud expression while waiting for the
call to be connected.
