Chapter 647 Misunderstand
After Elena left, Byron returned to the spacious private room that could easily hold dozens of people.
Around fifteen minutes later, Carter finally opened the private room door and entered.
Byron remained silent, downing glasses of expensive liquor like plain water. Carter couldn’t help raising an eyebrow and asking, “Weren’t you just went over to deliver drinks to Miss Lane? Why are you sitting here alone?”
Half an hour ago, Carter drank with him in the private room.
Carter could tell he was still waiting for Cora, but his patience was running thin, so he resorted to provoking him, saying, “Why are you dragging me here to drink alone? If you dare, find the person who made you upset. Come on, man. You’re not even remarried yet and already scared of your wife.”
Byron retorted, “What makes you think I’m scared of her? I am not scared of her! I respect her!”
Afterward, Byron sought out the manager of the Royal Club and ordered a fine bottle of wine to be sent to the room where Cora was as a gesture of respect towards her.
As Carter could tell, sending wine as a sign of respect was merely a cover. Byron was only finding a way to justify being the first to
Chapter 647 Misunderstand back down.
But he decided not to point that out.
He guessed that with Byron sending the wine, he and Cora would likely be on good terms again.
Wanting to spare himself from witnessing any potentially dramatic scenes once they reconciled, Carter used the excuse of stepping out to smoke.
He had initially thought that upon returning to the private room, he might stumble upon some explicit scenes, but instead, all he saw was Byron still sitting there, quietly drinking alone.
The gesture of sending the wine and showing respect hadn’t gone as smoothly as he had anticipated.
“She’s showing respect to someone else…” Byron muttered under his breath, then tilted his head back and downed a glass of strong liquor.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Carter asked.
However, Byron didn’t answer Carter’s probing question. He poured another glass of alcohol for himself and drank it in
silence.
Byron had initially hoped that sending the wine could provide a chance to mend things with Cora.
Instead, he walked in on her sharing a cross–cupped toast with

Tyler…
He knew such toasting was likely a game in this context, but he couldn’t suppress his mounting irritation.
Byron muttered angrily to himself, “A cross–cupped toast!
Hmph…
She has never shared a toast with me but does it with other
men?”
Driven almost mad by jealousy, he knew that Cora might have misunderstood when she saw Elena earlier, but Byron stubbornly refused to go after her to explain.
He reflected, “Why is it always me who has to back down? Why should I be the one to appease her, especially after she drank a cross–cupped toast with Tyler?”
Frustration gnawed at him, prompting him to consume one strong liquor after another tonight.
Carter observed him drinking the alcohol as if it were plain water, and he shook his head in resignation.
Cora returned to the private room and poured herself a glass of
alcohol.
Sally noticed that Cora finished one glass and was about to pour another, so she quickly intervened, saying, “Cora, this alcohol is quite strong. Would you like something else?”

Cora responded, “No, it’s fine. I feel like drinking tonight.”
Ignoring Sally’s advice, Cora poured herself another glass of alcohol.
Sally glanced at Cora’s slightly intoxicated face, her eyes glistening with tears. Suddenly, she realized something.
She asked, “Did Byron get the wrong idea about you and Tyler? You know, I could go and clear things up with him. If I hadn’t joked around, you wouldn’t drink that cross–cupped toast with Tyler.”
Cora shook her head. “No need. It’s unnecessary,” she said, downing another large sip.
“If it weren’t necessary, you wouldn’t have gone after him just now. Which room is he in? I’ll go explain it all to him.”
Sally was known for her boldness.
Since she had caused the situation, she wasn’t about to ignore it.
Seeing her about to leave the room, Cora hurriedly held her back.
“Sally, don’t go. I went after him earlier because of another misunderstanding…”
