Chapter 1403
Austin was confused. Soon, he saw Rhea slightly pouting while looking in his direction. Her lips were
full and red, and they were seductive as if inviting him to have a taste.
His heart started to beat wildly, and his throat tightened. Subconsciously, he looked at the door. No one
had passed by, but he felt like he was committing a sinful crime at this moment. His face was flushed
red for no reason.
'What the hell is she doing? Although we're on the balcony and there’s no one here, this is a public
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtplace! Anyone could just walk by.'
Austin noticed Rhea getting closer and wanted to move away, but his body seemed frozen in its spot,
unable to move. With his eyes widened, he just stared at her getting closer to him by the second. He
was about to yell from his anxiety when he saw her opening her lips lightly, blowing the cigarette smoke
into his face.
The smoke blew on his face directly, and as he was staring at her with his eyes wide open, it hit his
senses and went into his nose.
"Cough! Cough!" He choked on the smoke, unable to return to his senses as his mind was still
confused by what had just happened.
"Pfft." Rhea scoffed, her tone laced with mockery. Then she leaned into her seat and casually took
another puff of smoke, asking with narrowed eyes," You went to visit my cousin for her illness?"
Austin finally returned to his senses, but he got riled up again when he heard her question.
'Is she fooling with me? She has the guts to fool around with me! It's the first time any woman dared to
do that to me. The worst thing is that she even acted like nothing had happened and casually asked me
a question after she teased me. How can this woman do that to me?!'
"Hmph!" He hummed, not planning to answer her question. He wanted to leave as he initially planned
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbecause he did not want Rhea to affect his emotions so easily again. Just as he was about to leave, he
heard her say," Your medication won't work."
He stopped in his tracks again as he turned to look at her. She was pressing the cigarette into the
ashtray, diminishing it. Then she picked up her water bottle from the table and sipped it leisurely.
Austin suppressed his question repeatedly until he could not hold it in anymore. Even though he knew
she did it on purpose, he still had to ask," How do you know that?"
'It seems Maria has told Rhea everything. She probably knows that Anastasia got poisoned now and
even saw the list of medications I gave to her. Still, how does Rhea know it's useless? What does she
know? Both Lily and Rhea had been provoking me nonstop! What the h*ll did I do to deserve this?'
