The atmosphere.
Suddenly froze.
Ruth Upperton was stunned.
From the moment Julian Johnsons entered to drinking that cup of tea, it took less than a minute, so fast that no one could stop it.
Or rather, anything Julian did was always unstoppable.
"Does it taste off?" Isabella Lindsey asked coldly.
"Yes." Julian nodded.
Ruth Upperton snapped back to reality, pretending to be calm as she said, "I added a bit of jasmine in it, the taste might be a bit dry and bitter."
"That's all?" Julian raised an eyebrow wickedly.
"Yes, Julian, the tea itself has a rather strong flavor, you young people might not be used to it. How about I brew you a cup of plain tea to cleanse your palate?"
Ruth Upperton was planning in her mind, she must brew Julian a cup of antidote to drink, otherwise, the powdered medicine mixed in the tea would take effect by nightfall…
"No need."
Julian's deep eyes met Isabella's as he commanded, "Come with me."
