Chapter 226 You Have No Family!
“It is said that Moonware Games has booked the entire
Rainforest Resort this time so that all their employees can bring their families for a team-building event.”
The Rainforest Resort was a simulated tropical rainforest system with tropical plants and some elevated houses for
people to experience what it was like to live in a tropical
environment.
After reporting this news, Carter couldn’t help but remind, “I
think our Hansen Group could also consider this practice and
provide some benefits to their employees and their families.”
In fact, he was indirectly telling Byron that he hadn’t taken
a vacation for a long time, and it was time for him to take a
break.
Byron seemed to catch onto the important information, asking, “Team building with family members? Who do our
regular employees usually bring?”
“Usually, unmarried employees will bring their girlfriends. or boyfriends. Married ones will bring their spouses and children,” Carter replied expressionlessly.

Hearing that, Byron narrowed his eyes and said, “Ask
2/7
Moonware Games and request a spot for me to participate in
the team-building event.”
“Are you going?” Carter suddenly realized something.
“Yeah. The investor can be considered employees, right? So asking for a spot from them wouldn’t be too much.”
Carter suddenly looked lifeless. He was actually just trying to benefit himself and had no intention of indulging Byron’s bad habit of wanting to sabotage other people’s relationships.
“Everyone is bringing their families, but you don’t have one, so
you can’t participate!”
In addition to pitying Cora, Carter also didn’t want Byron to get involved in this any further, so he planned to refuse Byron.
However, he never expected Byron to say, “You can just act as my family member.”
Carter twitched at the corner of his l*ps and said, “It’s strange for two men to participate in a team-building event together.”
“It’s fine. As long as we’re not awkward, it’ll be others who feel awkward!”
Carter was at a loss for words.

He couldn’t argue with Byron and could only reluctantly play the role of Byron’s family member.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Moonware Games’
team building.
Lucas picked up Cora early and arrived at the company to gather.
It was already April, and the weather was neither cold nor hot.
Cora wore a slim yellow floral dress and white flat shoes.
With a gentle breeze, her long hair danced around her waist.
She didn’t say a word, nor did she wear any extravagant accessories, but she instantly made everyone around her fade into the background.
“She’s so beautiful. No wonder she captured Mr. Quinn’s heart
in an instant.”
Many people couldn’t help but admire her beauty and felt a sense of inferiority when they stood beside her.
But today, besides the male-dominated Programming Department, there were also employees from other departments attending the team-building event, including
Chapter 226 You Have No Family!
those from the Copywriting, Planning, and Operations departments.
Moreover, there were family members of the employees.

Where there were many women, there was bound to be some rivalry, and this statement was no exaggeration.
So, whether it was the female employees of Moonware Games or the wives of other employees, they couldn’t help but feel jealous and worried that Cora would steal their partners’ hearts. Thus, they constantly made snide remarks about Cora.
“Actually, she’s just average. Who knows if she’s been played
around?”
“Marrying a woman like her means serving her all the time except for when you’re sleeping. Look at all of you, at ease and carefree. Where’s her man?”
In the midst of a group of women gossiping, Lucas carried a huge backpack on his back while also holding a thermos and a handbag for Cora.
Seeing Cora standing under the scorching sun, Lucas showed a worried expression as if he was afraid Cora might melt under its rays, and he quickly took out a sunshade umbrella.
Cora originally refused, but Lucas ignored her protests and

insisted on carrying her things. In front of so many people, she couldn’t scold him too harshly, so she could only compromise.
Unexpectedly, this also became a reason for others to criticize
her.
However, in addition to being envious of Cora’s beauty,
women were more envious of her attentive and considerate boyfriend. That’s why they couldn’t help but say hurtful words.
But what they didn’t expect was the men’s retorts, “If you looked like her, I would treat you like a princess too.”
“Yeah, if my girlfriend looked like Miss Lane, I probably wouldn’t even let her walk.”
While a group of people were discussing, the president of Moonware Games, Jason Woods, arrived.
“Look, Mr. Woods also participated in the team building?”
“He never participated in previous team building events
before.”
As the employees chattered, Jason quickly spoke up, “Is everyone here? There’s an important person joining us for the team building today. If anyone hasn’t arrived yet, contact them immediately, and don’t keep him waiting.”

Jason had no interest in the team-building event, but he had no choice. Today, as the investor Byron was coming, he had to reluctantly participate.
“Ail our people are here. Mr. Woods, who is this important
person?”
The team leader couldn’t help but gossip.
Cora and Lucas were also curious about this important person, so they looked at Jason, waiting for his response.
Just as Jason was about to speak, he caught sight of a silver-gray Maserati parked nearby and quickly walked over.
When Cora saw that familiar car, a sense of unease crept into her heart.
She realized this car seemed to be the one that Carter often used to pick up and drop off Byron.
Cora couldn’t help but wonder if that important person could be Byron.
But she quickly dismissed her own idea because Byron rarely participates in activities even within the Hansen Group, so it was highly unlikely for him to come over to the partner company and join the team-building event.

Despite her reluctance to believe it, the man who stepped
out of the car and was warmly greeted by Jason was indeed
Byron.
