Chapter 20 His Return
The shopping assistant felt awkward. “These shoes are a limited edition, and we only have this one pair…”
“Mia! What’re you doing?! You’ve stolen Cora’s fiancé, and now you want to steal her shoes too?” Sally snapped.
She had been dragging Cora around for days to finally find a pair that caught their eye, and now Mia wanted to atch it
away again? Her fiery temper flared up instantly.
“Steal? You don’t even have the money to buy these shoes,” Mia sneered at Cora and Sally.
“Who says we don’t have the money?!” Sally staked her dignity and, ignoring Cora’s tugging at her sleeve, handed her
own credit card to the shopping assistant.
Even if she had to live on a shoestring budget for the next few months, Sally would make sure Cora outshone Mia at the
engagement banquet!

Little did they know that while they were caught up in the commotion over a pair of shoes, a car had parked across the
street.
The window rolled down, revealing Byron’s handsome face.
Carter, sitting in the driver’s seat, reported, “Mr. Hansen, Miss Lane is in the shoe store, but… Miss Yoris also happens to
be there.”
Like others, Carter believed that Byron and Jane’s engagement was a done deal, so he reminded Byron, wanting to avoid
any unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings.
But Byron asked, “What does it matter to me if she’s there or not?”
Carter frowned, sensing that there was more to Byron’s words.
Enter title…
Byron didn’t say anything more, just gazing at the shoe store across the street.
Through the glass window, Cora and Sally’s trouble was clearly observed.
Byron lightly tapped his fingertip against the car window, his aloof gaze incomprehensible.
Mia looked angry and had even thought about ruining those shoes until the shopping assistant finished processing Sally’s
card and said, “Apologies, miss, but your card’s credit limit is not sufficient…”
Mia instantly rejoiced, exclaiming, “See?! I KNEW they couldn’t afford it!”
Sally’s face turned ashen. “How much are these? I can pay with a card plus cash!”
