Upon hearing Evie's words, the group in the private room displayed somewhat strange expressions.
Tyler was the first to snap out of it and glared at Evie coldly, saying, "Even if Cora is divorced, any rumors about her and me will be my honor. You don't have the right to speak ill here."
Evie's expression subtly changed while explaining, "Tyler, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about how it might affect you."
"It's none of your concern," he retorted.
Evie had more to say, but Tyler swiftly averted his gaze, making it clear that he refused to have any further interaction with her.
Suddenly, Cora interjected, "Mr. Schmidt looks pretty healthy, so he probably doesn't have kidney disease. But why do you have such a sharp tongue?"
Thoughts raced through her mind, "Some things were just rumors, and I hadn't intended to bring them up openly. But Evie went too far. I might be divorced and a single parent, but that doesn't make me inferior. How can that be a reason for someone to attack me?"
The people in the room quickly exchanged glances, feeling that Cora's words hinted at something.
Sally even gave Cora a thumbs-up in secret.
She had almost stormed over to give Evie a piece of her mind just now.
However, Sally realized Cora's approach was more sophisticated by confronting the issue head-on. Now, Sally waited to see if Evie would dare to retaliate.
Evie's expression soured, questioning, "What do you mean by that?"
"What do you think I mean? If you don't want others to know, you shouldn't do it in the first place!" Cora retorted.
A faint smirk formed on Cora's lips as she sensed her words struck a chord with Evie.
Maybe that's why Evie stared back at her, her face filled with anger, yet she refrained from saying anything else.
At that moment, Matt couldn't let Evie spoil their reunion after four years, so he decided to step in to ease the tension.
"Alright, everyone, let's get back to our King Game. Tyler, Cora, don't think you both can escape the punishment by shifting the focus," Matt said.
The rest of the group also chimed in to play peacemakers.
Sally asked, "Tyler, you wouldn't chicken out from even a cross-cup toast, right?"
