Chapter 644 Caught by Him!

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, anyrumors 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 worriedabout 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 anyfurther interaction with her.

Suddenly, Cora interjected, "Mr. Schmidt looks pretty healthy, so he probably doesn't have kidneydisease. 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 bringthem up openly. But Evie went too far. I might be divorced and a single parent, but that doesn'tmake 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 sayinganything else.

At that moment, Matt couldn't let Evie spoil their reunion after four years, so he decided to step into ease the tension.

"Alright, everyone, let's get back to our King Game. Tyler, Cora, don't think you both can escape thepunishment 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?"

Tyler smiled and turned to Cora, saying, "I'm with Cora on this. If she's up for it, I'll drink her portiontoo."

Just as it was four years ago, Tyler remained just as caring towards Cora.

Sally then turned her attention to Cora and reassured, "Cora, it's just a crossed-cup toast, not a kiss.Go ahead and drink!"

The penetrating stares of the group were giving Cora a headache.

She thought, "Yeah, it's just a crossed-cup toast, not a kiss. If I don't drink, Tyler will have to down sixshots of alcohol. The drinks tonight are strong, and Tyler probably won't be able to participate inother games after that.”

Thinking about the rare reunion in four years, Cora realized it was about to be spoiled by herhesitation. Ultimately, she gave in and agreed.

The rest of the group then wasted no time and delivered drinks to the pair.

Tyler's smile widened as he took the drink, toasting with Cora. "Who would have thought I'd get achance to toast with you again,” he commented.

Cora looked embarrassed, saying, "Tyler, you can think of me as just a prop.”

Tyler chuckled, "You're still as straightforward as ever. You don't hesitate to turn me down, just likebefore.”

Tyler continued to smile, though it now carried a touch of sadness and the usual affection.However, Tyler and Cora appeared visibly more at ease after the conversation

"Crossed-cup toast!"

"Quick, let's take a photo. Oh, I'm sending this to Professor Smith!"

Amidst the cheering from the others, Cora and Tyler interlocked their arms and raised their glasses,both taking a sip.

Sally even gave Evie a taunting look, and when she saw Evie's dejected expression, she felt a surgeof delight.

However, the private room door was suddenly swung wide open from the outside.

The group was startled and instantly turned their heads to the door in bewilderment, and their eyesfell upon Byron, who stood frozen in the doorway.

Under the dim, ambient light, the man's eyes were devoid of warmth as he stared intently at Cora,who was raising her glass for the toast...
