Chapter 306 Disappointed
Wearing high heels, Cora almost tripped when she was pushed.
Thankfully, she managed to grab onto a nearby pillar in time, but she twisted her foot in the process.
But compared to the grievances she endured today, the pain in her foot seemed trivial.
“Did I suggest this competition? Did I make it happen by all means? Did I go to great lengths to put my bag on the line as a bet?”
She fired a three–question salvo at Evelyn with her eyes filled with anger. “Miss Evelyn Cross, you’ve truly amazed me with your twisted logic and audacity.”
From the very beginning, it was Evelyn playing these tricks all by herself.
Cora didn’t want to indulge in such a game, nor did she bother to. It was Evelyn who had orchestrated the entire competition by all means.
Cora merely responded to the challenge to avoid losing the

bag that Byron had given her. That was all!
As for Steve…
When Cora took shooting classes in the past, it was one of the many interest classes that Flora had arranged to help her
pass the time while studying medicine.
It just so happened that Steve was scouting talented shooters
for the National Shooting Team in the interest class at
that time, and she became his apprentice because of her
accuracy.
Steve wanted her to join the National Shooting Team due to
her talent.
However, Cora was focused on studying medicine then and naturally refused his invitation.
Because of that, she had a falling out with Steve, who even threatened that if she didn’t join the National Shooting Team,
they would act as strangers if they met in the future.
Since she firmly refused to join the National Shooting Team
back then, how could she shamelessly claim to know Steve,
the famous coach?
But to her surprise, this became Evelyn’s ammunition to attack
her!
Chapter 306 Disappointed
“How dare you argue with me? You…” Evelyn didn’t expect Cora to bluntly expose her misdeeds. She was so furious that she raised her hand, about to slap Cora.
At this critical moment, Nora finally spoke, “Stop.”
As the matriarch of the most prominent family in New York,
she had considerable authority in this circle.
As soon as Nora spoke, even Margaret, despite her intense hostility toward Cora, had no choice but to say, “Evelyn, stop.”
Evelyn could only withdraw her hand in anger, but her eyes, burning with rage, were still fixed on Cora.
“I’m sorry for messing up your party, Margaret. We’ll send
our apologies another day, and for now, we should take our
leave,” Nora said.
As Nora stopped the dramatic scene, she quickly bid farewell
and took Cora away.
Sensing that the atmosphere was off, other ladies also took
various excuses to leave.
Before leaving, Sara tried to fuel the fire once again.
“Evelyn, I’m sorry for you. This scheming woman only behaves

somewhat normally in the hospital. She’s utterly outrageous in other places, stirring up trouble everywhere.”
Though her words seemed comforting, she was actually hinting to Evelyn that she could take action against Cora through the hospital and ruin Cora’s reputation.
Recalling her experience of spending nearly 48 hours in jail because of Cora, Sara couldn’t swallow her resentment.
Due to William signing a guarantee with Cora, Sara couldn’t directly handle her at the hospital.
But that didn’t mean she couldn’t instigate others to do so.
Evelyn, growing up in a prominent family and getting used to intrigues, naturally understood Sara’s implication.
“Mrs. Sara Yoris, thank you for your comfort. Apologies for the inadequate hospitality today,” Evelyn replied politely.
“It’s okay. I’ll take my leave now.”
After bidding farewell to Sara, Evelyn began contemplating how to regain her lost dignity.
On the other hand, as soon as Cora got into Nora’s car, she
was scolded.

“Why are you so uncompromising? Don’t you know that your actions not only make Evelyn lose face in this circle but also make the Cross family hold a grudge against you? What if they take it out on Byron?”
Nora strongly disapproved of Cora’s actions today and began
reproaching her straight away.
