Chapter: 500

Without waiting for an answer, the servant found a tray under the stove and began placing the four cups of tea onto it.

Mia whirled around, her face flushed with anger. “Who gave you permission to touch my tea?”

The servant's hands shook, and she stammered, “Miss Brown, what seems to be the matter?”

“You need to put the tea back in the exact order | had it. If you mess it up, consider yourself fired.”

Her voice filled with uncertainty, she asked, “Are you sure about that?”

I'm sure.”

“Now get out!”

Soon after, Mia walked into the living room, carrying a tray, and placed the tea in front of Marcus, Denby, and Millie.

“sister, please, have a drink.” Mia settled herself into a seat.

Millie’s eyes flicked downward. Mia’s insistence that she drink was more than enough proof that she intended to drug her. She

knew she couldn’t take a sip, but she needed to find an excuse to whisk Marcus away.

Yet something was amiss. Millie distinctly remembered a small defect on the rim of the cup. Now, as she looked at the cup in

front of her, there was no sign of the flaw.

What had happened?

Millie’s eyes darted to the cups, carefully avoiding notice. Why was the cup with the notch now in front of Mia?

What was happening here? Had Mia accidentally switched the cups?

Her mind raced back to the sound from the kitchen when Mia raised her voice in anger.

“Who gave you permission to touch my tea?”

It appeared the servant had made a blunder.

“Why aren’t you drinking?” Mia asked, her tone softening. “The tea will lose its flavor if it gets cold. | put a lot of effort into making

it, so you must try it.”

With that, Mia raised her cup and took the first sip.

Millie’s plan to leave was momentarily forgotten, and she offered a warm smile.

“My sister personally made this tea. Of course, | want to taste it. I'll drink it right away.”

Without hesitation, Millie lifted her cup and drank. Curiosity gnawed at her; she wanted to stay and discover what effect Mia’s

mysterious addition would have.
