The moment these words were spoken, the entire private room fell silent.
Everyone turned their eyes to Erin.
Someone whispered, "Didn't Mr. Horton just say that this matter is over? Why bring it up again?"
Others commented. "Well, when someone's lies are too outrageous, should they not be called out? Mr. Horton and Isla spared her feelings by not exposing her, out of consideration for past relationships, but we shouldn't cater to her behavior."
Jake and Isla, who had been in high spirits, both stiffened at these words.
Jake immediately glanced at Isla.
Isla coughed and tried to shift the topic. "Today is Professor Miller's birthday. Let's raise our glasses and wish Professor Miller a happy birthday first!"
At her words, everyone started raising their glasses.
Keira stood among the crowd, also picking up her glass with an indifferent expression. Only Charles seemed indignant and displeased.
