From the very beginning, Hank Clegg and Victoria Talkington were both "acting".
Every time they picked up their water bottles, it was to observe Penelope Talkington's reaction.
And Penelope's reaction did not disappoint them.
By the end, when Hank Clegg twisted open the water bottle to drink, he clearly saw that Penelope was restless.
But his intention was merely to sniff the water for any unusual odor.
However, while doing this, Hank Clegg unexpectedly caught sight of another person at the venue—Rosalind Wood.
When he noticed her, Hank Clegg was slightly surprised.
Because Rosalind Wood had completely disguised herself as a bespectacled male reporter, even her face was painted with scars; had he not been vigilant, he would not have seen through her disguise.
But Hank Clegg managed to detect her presence solely because he had opened Victoria's water bottle, which ignited Rosalind's rampant jealousy.
Each person's gaze has a distinct aura.
