As Evelyn finished speaking, the Hansen elders, who favored Byron the most, immediately focused on his lips.
Cora couldn't help but look over at Byron.
And to everyone's surprise, Byron's lips tinted with a rosy hue.
It was her lipstick!
In an instant, Cora felt like she had been struck by lightning.
She rarely wore lipstick because her natural lip color was already beautiful enough.
However, being on suspension and having nothing else to do at home, she applied some makeup before coming to the dinner as respect for the occasion.
Unfortunately, Cora hadn't anticipated that her lipstick had transferred to Byron's lips when they kissed.
Cora could have brushed it off if the kiss mark had been discovered by Evelyn alone. However, with the Hansen elders and Margaret all watching, it felt like an uncomfortable moment under the spotlight.
"Ahem." Osborn observed the situation and quickly understood what was going on. He masked the awkwardness with a slight cough and shifted his gaze away.
However, Nora seemed to have reservations as she coldly glanced at Cora.
Cora couldn't help but think that Evelyn intended to make her appear as if she were trying too hard to impress Nora, much like a cunning fox trying to exploit Byron to the fullest.
Cora locked eyes with Evelyn's smug expression. She was infuriated.
Amidst her intense frustration, Cora thought about how she should have confronted Evelyn head-on during their previous competition.
To her surprise, Byron took matters into his own hands. He shot a cold glance at Evelyn and questioned her, making it evident that he saw through her game, "Didn't you see it? Is there a need for such a deliberate inquiry?"
As Byron casually wiped off the lipstick with a hot towel handed to him by a servant, all eyes fixed on Evelyn, except for Cora's.
Cora thought she was the only one who noticed Evelyn eavesdropping in Byron's room. It turned out that Byron was well aware of it, and he had just exposed her cunning scheme in front of everyone.
