Chapter 238
Chapter 238:
“I accept your apology, but we don’t have to drink.” Annabel looked down at the glass in Annie’s hand.
The Annie she knew would never extend the olive branch.
She suspected that the wine was probably drugged or even poisoned.
Annie grew impatient after Annabel turned down the drink. “I sincerely apologized to you. If you don’t drink the wine, it means you refuse to forgive me p>
“And why should I do that?” Annabel said sarcastically, folding her arms.
“You…” Annie was on the verge of losing her temper. But when she thought about the plan, she suppressed her anger and pouted again. “It seems you haven’t forgiven me. Brett will be so mad at me if he finds out. I love him with my life. I don’t want to lose him p>
Annabel wasn’t fooled by her fake tears. “What does that have to do with me p>
Annie bit her lip and explained, “Brett asked me to apologize to you tonight. I promised him that I would get your forgiveness. Please have mercy on me. Drink this wine to show that you have forgiven me p>
Since Annie was giving it her all just to make her drink the wine, Annabel grew curious.
What exactly did Annie have up her sleeve?
Annabel wanted to find out, so she decided to play along.
“All right…” After thinking it over for a while, Annabel took the glass of wine as if she believed Annie’s words. “Since you apologized so sincerely, I have no choice but to accept it p>
Annie hit a high note with her inner soprano voice, seeing that her plan was working. She took the other glass and clinked it with Annabel’s. “Cheers p>
“Cheers!” Annabel raised the glass to her mouth. Instead of sipping the wine, she secretly took a whiff of it.
The wine was drugged, just as she had suspected.
Your new favorite is gαℓησν𝒆𝓁s․cօm
Annabel raised her glass and pretended to gulp down half the wine. Taking advantage of the dim light, she secretly emptied half of its contents.
Annie didn’t notice. She couldn’t conceal the wide smile on her face when she saw that Annabel’s glass was half empty.
It worked!
Annabel had finally drunk the wine. She was going to teach her a lesson later.
Noticing the expression on Annie’s face, Annabel sneered inwardly.
She deliberately swayed her body. Holding the glass in her left hand, she supported her head with her right palm and slurred, “Oh, why do I feel so dizzy p>
“What’s wrong with you, Annabel? Are you okay?” Annie asked, pretending to be concerned.
“I feel dizzy and warm…” Annabel acted as if she were in great discomfort and leaned against the railing.
“Did you eat something bad? How about this? I’ll help you to the lounge to get some rest.” Annie struggled to tamp down the excitement buzzing through her. She stepped forward and kindly supported Annabel.
“Okay, thank you.” Annabel looked flushed and restless. She kept pulling on her dress. “Why am I feeling so hot all of a sudden p>
