Nathaniel stood still, staring at her, trying to gauge the emotions in her eyes.
Unfortunately, the indifference in her eyes made them unreadable.
He deserved to be distrusted by her.
Smiling bitterly, he approached the tea table and picked up the two packets of sugar.
Under everyone’s gaze, he ripped open both packets, poured them into the glass of water, and stirred it well. Then he raised the glass and downed its contents in one gulp.

Lucinda just asked him to choose. He had a 50% chance of picking the right one. What a stupid man!
“Well, I respect your choice,” Lucinda said calmly.
To the three men behind her, she ordered.
“Take Mr. Roberts to the basement.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Conor and Jose were about to step forward to subdue Nathaniel, but the latter stopped them.

After saying that, Nathaniel turned around and headed straight towards the basement. Lucinda and the others followed him.
He looked a little desolate, walking ahead alone.
Abel brought a chair for Lucinda, and she sat down in front of the stairs to the basement, waiting for the drug to take effect.
Since Lucinda had just moved in, the basement was relatively empty.
The bodyguards didn’t turn on the light for Nathaniel before they shut the door.
Thus, Nathaniel was left alone in the darkness.
Just five minutes later, he felt that his body was rapidly heating up. The drug had taken effect so quickly!
But this drug was much stronger than the one from the night before their divorce.
