Chapter 643 Strike Where It Hurts the Most!
She said, “It’s Elwood, the one who used to have ill intentions toward you before.”
Cora remembered Elwood quite well.
In addition to his previous attempts to pursue her because of her attractive figure, he often insinuated
that she could gain advantages by being with him. He also had helped Jane plot against her multiple
times before.

However, Cora felt quite perplexed after listening to her. She then questioned, “Wasn’t Elwood already
married? I remember his wife already had two children with him.”
Sally explained, “It was an affair. When I wa at the First Hospital before, I caught her and Elwood
getting all lovey–dovey quite a few times. I don’t understand how she could stand that bald man
touching her face.”
Upon hearing Sally’s description of the man, Cora laughed immediately, finding it amusing.
“Please, no laughing! That is the latest scoop I’ve got,” Sally
said as she playfully nudged Cora, then continued, “And here’s something you surely don’t know. Did
you know that Evie’s hatred towards you wasn’t only due to jealousy but also because

Cora was momentarily baffled and asked, “Evie had a crush on Tyler?”
“Yes, didn’t you pick up on it?” Sally had always considered Cora somewhat slow in this regard, but as
it turned out today, her intuition was spot on.
Cora didn’t connect the dots until Sally pointed them out. She then reevaluated Evie and Tyler’s
interactions, realizing that Evie’s gaze was consistently fixed on Tyler throughout the gathering.
Sally exclaimed, “You have to strike where it hurts the most! If only you and Tyler made it official now
with the cross–cupped wine, it would crush her hopes.”
Cora believed Sally was kidding and didn’t give it much thought.
However, it wasn’t until later during the game that Cora realized Sally hadn’t been joking with her.
As soon as Evie and the rest suggested playing the King Game, Sally enthusiastically roped Cora into
participating.
She volunteered to be the game master, devising the penalty rules and handling the card shuffling.
After a few rounds, the king’s card landed precisely in her
hands.
Chapter 643 Strike Where It Hurts the Most! She also figured out Cora and Tyler’s cards and then
intentionally chose them for the penalty, declaring, “It’s a cup–crossing toast for the ace of spades and
king of hearts!”
“Who’s got the ace of spades? And who’s holding the king of hearts?”

If Cora hadn’t seen how eagerly and joyfully Sally was flipping everyone’s cards now, she wouldn’t
have thought this was a calculated move aimed at hitting where it hurts the most, just like Sally said.
“Alright, Cora is holding the ace of spades. Who got the king of hearts?” one of them questioned.
Afterward, Matt, seated next to Tyler, leaned forward and excitedly raised Tyler’s hand, saying, “Tyler’s
got the king of hearts.”
Immediately after, someone began to prepare the drinks for Tyler and Cora.
The group of friends then erupted into lively cheers.
“Come on, let’s drink the crossed–cup toast!” one of them exclaimed.
“Whoa, a handsome guy and a gorgeous girl toasting together!”
added another friend.
“Wait, I’m going to take a photo and send it to Professor Smith, telling him that his two proud students
have got together. He’ll

4/4
The atmosphere was filled with excitement, with almost everyone beaming with happiness, including
Tyler, who had a wide grin.
However, Evie on the side was the opposite. Her face was as grim and sorrowful as if she had lost her
husband.
“How about we change it? I’ll take a three–cup penalty instead. Is that okay?” Cora had no intention of
striking a nerve with Evie. After all, they didn’t have much interaction these days.
Evie might say something, but it would be at most for tonight.
If Cora brushed it off, she probably wouldn’t have many more opportunities for Evie to chatter about her
in the future.
However, Cora didn’t expect Evie to agree, saying, “Yeah, let’s change it up. Cora is divorced and even
has a child. If what they were doing here were to spread, it would be just another scandal for her. But
Tyler here is still single. If word gets out, it won’t reflect well on him…”
