Chapter 1705: Self-Proof

At this moment, the butler of the Ballard family knocked on the door and entered.

Following Christian's previous instructions, he brought a fine Rain before Dragon Well tea.

The butler placed the tea in front of Joyce and respectfully stepped back.

Just as Joyce was about to pick up the tea, Darrin suddenly stopped him, "General, please wait."

Before Joyce could speak, Darrin took a step forward, took out a thin needle, and pierced it into the tea, testing it before saying, "General, it's safe.”

Christian narrowed his long phoenix eyes, revealing dissatisfaction, "Are you worried about being poisoned in my house? Joyce, do you consider me an outsider?"

It is my duty, please understand.” Now, he wouldn't trust anyone, even if Christian had no ill intentions, he couldn't guarantee that someone among Christian's subordinates wouldn't cause trouble. Once bitten, twice shy, he couldn't allow himself to make mistakes again.

Joyce glanced at Darrin and whispered, “You're being too nervous. Mr. Ballard has been kind to me."

Darrin nodded and stepped back behind Joyce.
