But Marcus merely added a pink box to the collection of gifts.
“Here’s my gift. Happy birthday. You all continue to celebrate. I have some
matters to address, so I'll be departing,” he stated. While he had agreed to
attend, he hadn't committed to staying.
Marcus’ intention to leave flustered Rhea. Yet she quickly composed herself,
clasping Marcus’ arm and pleading with a sorrowful gaze.
“Marcus, stay for my birthday wish. I've been waiting for you. I want to make the
wish with you here, if only for a moment, okay?”
When Rhea seized his arm, Marcus displayed clear discomfort. Sensing his
unease, Rhea promptly released him. His dislike for physical contact was well
established.
Still, Marcus’ silence was akin to consent. He genuinely felt indebted to the
Evans family for past wrongs.
Rhea immediately set herself to work, instructing, “Hurry, place the candles. I'm
ready to make a wish.”
Analia initiated the candle placement as Rhea prepared herself in the room’s
center, ready to make her wish.
Her wish was straightforward: she implored the heavens for Millie's swift exit so
she could have Marcus to herself forever.
Opening her eyes, Rhea announced gleefully, “I've made my wish. Now, it's time
to blow out the candles.”
After extinguishing the candles, Rhea snatched two wine glasses and hastened
to catch up with Marcus, heading for the exit. She assertively handed him the
previously drugged glass.
“Marcus, wait. Let's toast before you depart,” she proposed.
In a hurry, Rhea quickly took hold of her own glass filled with wine, tilted her head
upward, and relished a drink. Marcus had no inkling whatsoever; he glanced at
the crimson fluid and lifted it towards his mouth, indulging in a small sip.
He drank it. A wave of relief swept over Rhea. The drug's potency, as explained
by the seller, was so strong that one sip would suffice.
After leaving the glass on a nearby table, Marcus cast a glance at the young
aristocrats and advised, “Return home early.” Rhea complied obediently and was
now behaving considerately.
“Alright, I understand. You can go attend to your affairs.”

Upon speaking, Rhea hastily exited
the private room to find Marcus.
Given that the drug had begun to
work, she couldn't risk anyone else
seizing the opportunity. The seller
had warned that the drug would take
effect within three minutes. The

He'd been drugged by Rhea!
Cursing under his breath, Marcus spotted Rhea, but she quickly concealed
herself.
Rhea was flirting with danger!
