Chapter 417 Want Him Dead
Cora paused and turned to look at Byron.
She saw him driving with one hand, his dark eyes flickering under the light of the oncoming vehicles,
making it difficult to discern his expression.
Cora squinted, feeling as though this man had already figured something out.
She wasn’t sure if he was testing her with this question or if he had another purpose in mind.
She shifted her gaze back to her phone and replied, “Yes. So… don’t make me hate you.”
After receiving her answer, Byron frowned for a while.

Then, neither of them said anything during the rest of the ride.
Gabe contacted Cora on the weekend, saying that he had
returned to New York.
Cora messaged him back, arranging a time and place to meet.
At that moment, Byron was getting ready to leave the apartment. “Let’s have lunch together and then
go see your studio. What do you think?”

“No, I have plans with Sally for lunch.”

If Gabe hadn’t mentioned his findings, Cora had originally intended to officially introduce him to Gabe.

But now, she wasn’t sure what their future would be like, so she couldn’t bring him along and had to lie.
“In that case, let’s do it tomorrow,” Byron smiled, not paying
much attention to it.
However, before leaving, he said, “Once I finish this busy period, let’s plan our wedding. I’ve already
picked out a few venues for you to choose from.”
“Let’s talk about this later,” Cora replied vaguely.
She wasn’t certain if they would even have a wedding, so she
brushed it off.
Byron sensed her evasiveness but didn’t expose it. “Alright, we’ll do it your way.”
He waved goodbye to Cora with a smile, but as he walked out the door, his smile disappeared as if it
had never been on his face.
It hadn’t been a pleasant day. Discussing wedding plans with Cora hadn’t gone smoothly, and upon
arriving at the office, Carter brought him some bad news.
“Lionel has been seen in New York.”
Chapter 417 Want Him Dead
Lionel, Byron’s uncle, had gone bankrupt under the dual pressures of Byron and the Hansen family.

Originally, they had wanted to frame him with enough crimes to spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, he suddenly disappeared in Burcane. And when he showed up again, he opened a security
company in New York.
Carter’s investigation revealed that this security company was involved in shady activities.
“He hired foreign mercenaries as his security staff,” Carter informed.
Byron sneered, “So, the security company is just a front. He wants my life, doesn’t he?”
Carter’s expression looked grim because everything Byron said
hit the mark.
“Call our men back. And remember, send more of them to protect Cora.”
But Carter interrupted, saying, “I think what Lionel wants most is your life.”
Both Cora and Byron were thorns on Lionel’s side, but if they were to be compared, Byron was the one
who bothered Lionel the most.
After all, Byron not only represented the economic lifeline of the

Hansen family but also held key positions as the domestic CEO of Sunda Group.
Taking his life would mean destroying half of the Hansen family’s power and destabilizing the economic
lifeline of the
country.
Despite this, Byron insisted stubbornly, “Do as I said.”
Carter failed to persuade him and could only follow his orders.
On the other side, Cora met up with Gabe at a restaurant.
“Cora, do you really have nothing to do with Mr. Hansen? I’ve been hearing rumors lately…”
After meeting Cora, Gabe sensed that she was in a terrible state.
Therefore, he wasn’t sure if he should tell her about his findings.
“There’s nothing between us. Tell me about your discoveries,” Cora insisted.
Even if she had something to do with Byron, it wouldn’t stop her from learning the truth behind the Lane
family’s bankruptcy.
Seeing Cora’s determination, Gabe took out the information he had gathered.
“We went bankrupt because Sunda Group shorted the Lane Group…”
