Chapter 322 The Scapegoat
Before Cora received a call from Flora, she was
accompanying Nora to attend another one of those wealthy wives‘ parties.
The theme this time was music appreciation.
In addition to being the hostess of the Hansen family, Nora was also a well–known pianist.
To make friends with her, many rich wives started to learn piano, and some of them even sent their children to the piano tutoring class opened by Nora.
Now, for the music appreciation event held by Nora, almost all the rich wives from New York gathered in the piano room.
Incredibly, there were a lot of unmarried daughters who accompanied their mothers to the party.
Sara also brought Jane to attend. In addition to Jane’s extraordinary accomplishments in piano, Sara herself was also a well–known local pianist in New York, and many of New York’s piano competitions had invited her to be a judge.
“Jane, what have you been up to lately? See how thin you have
Chapter 322 The Scapegoat become recently?”
Jane was striking among the crowd of famous ladies and daughters.
Especially Nora’s tender affection for her made Jane the crowd’s focus.
In contrast, Cora, who Nora had brought to be by her side for this wealthy wives‘ party, her presence was almost transparent.
“Yes, Nora, except for the busy work in the hospital, everything else is fine.”
Jane had a non–aggressive, easy–going attitude through her
words.
This was also the reason Nora liked her the most.
However, Nora didn’t know that while holding Jane’s hand affectionately, Jane was secretly glancing at Cora from the corner of her eyes.
Cora was wearing a long beige dress today. She tied her hair sideways with a ribbon of the same color.
In addition, she had a pair of high heels of the same color. No matter how you looked at it, one could see that she was
Chapter 322 The Scapegoat attentive to the party.
When Jane looked at Cora carefully, she saw Cora’s eyes
suddenly swept over her way.
She quickly looked away and smiled at Nora.
“You’re a good kid. It’s Byron who is confused.” Nora
comforted Jane, but she was actually expressing her dislike of Cora to Jane in disguise.
In fact, Jane knew that Nora didn’t like Cora.
Otherwise, Nora wouldn’t have specially organized such a gathering to bring together many outstanding New York socialites.
“Nora, it’s not Byron’s fault, don’t take it to heart.” Jane kept her considerate persona, and her words spoke to Nora’s heart.
Everyone knew that Nora spoiled Byron so much. She might complain about Byron, but if someone accused Byron of making a mistake, Nora surely would go to his defense.
So Jane spoke out her thoughts. In doing so, wouldn’t this win the favor of Nora?
But when Cora heard these words, she inevitably felt uncomfortable.
Chapter 322 The Scapegoat
Jane didn’t admit that it was her own fault, and she also said that it wasn’t Byron’s fault, so was it Cora to blame?
Was she the scapegoat?
It was just that in front of so many people, Cora didn’t want to
cause a scene.
So she didn’t express her opinion. She was like a wooden figure, and Nora didn’t take it seriously.
“Child, you are so sensible that it makes people heartsick. I will help you to talk to Byron…”
That hinted to Jane that Nora did not approve of Cora.
Jane thought that she and Byron were still possible!
Jane had been in this circle since childhood, so she naturally understood Nora’s hints and was immediately overjoyed.
Because during the party, she had a smile on her face all that time.
Especially when facing Cora, that smile was even brighter…
Cora could only temporarily ignore Jane’s almost provocative behavior, not because she was afraid of standing her ground,
Chapter 322 The Scapegoat
but because she really didn’t have time.
After greeting Jane, Nora instructed Cora to help in the reception of those wealthy ladies.
The reason was that you represented me and the Hansen family, hosting the wives and young ladies.
In all the grandeur, it made Cora a member of the waiters.
There was the lady who said she wanted to eat some fruit and asked Cora to bring it, and there was the young lady who thought there was not enough ice in the drink and asked Cora to get it.
It was not that Cora couldn’t see through these people. They were counting on Nora didn’t accept her, therefore, treated her like a clown.
But she didn’t want to refute Nora and didn’t want to make things difficult for Byron, so she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
The pair of 4–inch high–heeled shoes hurt her feet from all that serving coffee and pouring water, but she didn’t squeak…
When Cora was busy, Sara looked at her alluring back and suddenly suggested, “There are many young girls at the party today. Why don’t they all come and play a song.”
