Falling for a Lie: My Stepbrother's Hidden Revenge

Chapter 201

Sylvia’s expression gradually froze as she stared at him in disbelief. Her tone carried a hint of resentment. “Nick, you don’t believe me?”

Nick chuckled. “Silly girl, I’m just teasing you. Of course, I believe you. But did you or Edgar prepare this wine? I can’t trust him.”

Sylvia showed him the empty red wine glass in her hand. “I drank it all. If the wine was tampered with, it should be me who poured it first.”

Nick remained silent, swaying his wine glass gently without taking a sip.

Sylvia felt a little unhappy. She grumbled and glanced at the untouched bottle of red wine beside her. “Is Nick expecting me to drink the whole bottle of red wine like you did last time? Do you trust me that little?”

Nick stayed silent.

Growing more frustrated, Sylvia reached for the entire bottle of red wine on the table.

Nick stopped her. “I trust you. Even if your bottle is poisoned, I’ll drink it because you’re a beautiful poison to me. I’m already addicted.”

With an affectionate smile, he raised his head and finally drank the glass of wine.

In the garden, two of Nick’s loyal subordinates stood by the door like statues. Eleven approached them proactively.

“Brothers, it’s late, and you two haven’t eaten yet? We secretly grilled some barbecue in the backyard. Would you like to join us and give it a try?”

The two men wore cold expressions and declined. “No need.”

Eleven remained patient. “Don’t worry, Miss Sylvia is very friendly. With her around, Mr Knight won’t be angry. Besides, it’s already dinner time. Considering the relationship between Mr Knight and Miss Sylvia, we’ll become one family sooner or later. Let’s get acquainted beforehand.”

This time, the two men hesitated for two seconds. “No need.”

Eleven worried about how to continue persuading them, fearing that his excessive enthusiasm would raise suspicion.
