“It’s so early! What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood
again?”
On the other end of the phone, a male voice sounded.
“No.”
Byron lit another cigarette.
During the time of his rehabilitation after the car accident
four years ago, Byron’s temperament often got out of control.
Upon learning the news, Byron’s longtime friend Johnson took responsibility for regulating his emotions.
In order to help Byron return to a normal life, Johnson had been living nearby for almost four years.
That was why Cora had been unable to find Johnson’s
whereabouts all this time.
then?”
“What is it then?”
“I want you to give a speech and help ease the minds of the
employees at the Hansen Group.”

However, Johnson wasn’t interested in any of this and said,
“You know, I am not lack of money.”
The wealth Johnson had accumulated over the years was
enough for him to live a comfortable life for the rest of his
days.
“I know you don’t need money, and I also know your mom has been trying to find a wife for you lately.”
“So what? Can you be my wife?” Johnson still didn’t show any
interest.
However, Byron said, “As a man, I can’t be your wife, but if I tell your mom that you’ve been relentlessly pursuing a woman and even followed her to New York, she will definitely find a
way to turn her into your wife.”
Johnson’s volume immediately increased. “You knew that I was slept by that woman, and she even humiliated me by giving me money after that, and that’s why…”
“Anyway, it’s a fact that you two had slept,” Byron interrupted Johnson’s lengthy argument directly.
Johnson gritted his teeth and said, “You’re ruthless!”
In this way, Johnson confirmed his schedule to give a speech
Chapter 505 Stirring up a Storm
at the Hansen Group.
Meanwhile, early that morning, Byron gave Carter a task. “Dr.
Watts is giving his first speech in the country. I want it to be thrilling.”
Carter’s straightforward nature came into play at this
moment. “I think it’s more efficient to just inform Miss Lane
directly.”
Carter saw the efforts put into organizing a speech for
Johnson and creating a buzz as excessive and inconvenient.
He knew that everything Byron did was ultimately to let Cora
know about Johnson’s whereabouts.
Going around in such a big circle made Carter feel that it was a waste of time and energy.
But Byron gave him a furious look and asked, “Who said I did
all this for her?”
Carter rolled his eyes inwardly.
It was evident to anyone with even a hint of insight that
whenever Byron went to great lengths, it was solely for the
sake of Cora.
Choosing not to argue with Byron, Carter went along with his
Chapter 505 Stirring up a Storm
order. He diligently publicized the announcement of Johnson’s speech at the Hansen Group, making sure it appeared on the trending topics list.
After all, money was something Byron didn’t lack, and they had no qualms about being extravagant and wasteful.
On the other side, Cora and Jerry had already returned to their small apartment with Martin.
None of them slept well last night, so after going back, Cora took Martin upstairs to sleep.
Jerry, on the other hand, volunteered to rest on the couch
downstairs.
When Cora woke up again, she heard Jerry answering a phone call downstairs.
“Really? That’s fantastic news.”
Even if it was a floor away, Cora could hear the excitement and joy in Jerry’s voice.
Cora wondered what good news could make Jerry so happy.
At that moment, Martin also woke up.
Hearing Jerry’s voice downstairs, Martin was ecstatic.

Martin immediately uncovered the blanket and ran
downstairs, rushing straight to Jerry and hugging his legs.
“You little brat. We get a doctor!”
After ending the phone call, Jerry eagerly embraced Martin,
showering him with kisses in a state of pure excitement.
Cora followed Martin downstairs and saw Jerry’s
uncontrollable excitement. She asked, “What happened? Why
are you so happy?”
“We have the latest news about Dr. Watts.”
After hearing Jerry’s words, Cora’s eyes instantly lit up.
