Revenge Begins: Reincarnated as a Hated Idol!-Chapter 58: The Deceptive Toast

After a short while, Lisa was once again sitting on the sofa.

Lucian revealed a friendly smile, walking towards the kitchen as he requested: "Please wait a little. Let me bring out the best wine I have."

He opened the double-door refrigerator, taking out a bottle of wine from inside.

He then went inside the kitchen, out of Lisa’s sight, to not allow her to see what he was about to do.

He opened one of the compartments, containing wine glasses along with a vial of capsules.

A scheming, menacing smile hung on his lips as he took out two wine glasses along with the vial.

The capsules in the vial were aphrodisiac capsules, known to put the consumer into a half-conscious state, driving their sexual desires through the roof.

And the best part about them was that the powder in the capsules was perfectly soluble and undetectable in a drink, not arousing suspicion in the mind of the target.

He opened one capsule, pouring the powder inside into one of the wine glasses.

He stared at the powder with a smirk, commenting inwardly: ’This should put her in place. Let’s see how you’ll react when you get a taste of this.’

However, before he proceeded to pour the wine in the glasses, a sudden idea flashed in his head:

’Why don’t I add one more capsule to double the fun? Even though the dealer said it’s dangerous, that bitch should be able to handle it with how mighty and noble she acts, hmph!’

He excitedly opened another capsule and poured the powder in the same glass before proceeding to pour in the red-colored wine.

He swirled the wine glass, making sure the powder mixed perfectly and nothing was suspicious or noticeable.

Meanwhile, while he was busy preparing the spiked wine, Lisa proceeded with her own plan.

After making sure Lucian couldn’t see her, she put her hand in her bra, taking out a mini spy camera.

She knew the guards wouldn’t check her breast area, and thus she hid the camera there.

And even though the metal detector beeped when they scanned her bosom area, she made the excuse that it was her bra’s metal underwire.

The guards bought the excuse without any suspicion.

She turned on the camera before carefully planting it in one of the vat-sized pots beside the sofa, making sure the view was clear.

After confirming the camera was hidden perfectly from sight, she heaved a sigh of relief, waiting for Lucian to return with the spiked wine.

After a short while, Lucian returned, holding two wine glasses in hands, wearing an amiable smile.

"Sorry for the wait." Placing both glasses on the table and passing one to Lisa, he spoke with a smile.

Lisa stared at the wine, remembering her conversation with Aren about this moment.

"Extreme methods?" She had asked him at that time.

"Yes." Aren nodded: "There are only two I can think of, and I’m sure Lucian would use one of them."

"What are they?" She had asked curiously.

"One is, obviously, force—hitting you on the head to make you pass out or simply overpowering you to force himself on you. Second, and the most probable one, is drugs. Either a drug to make you pass out or... something to send you into a half-awake state, where you won’t be in your right mind and will do anything he wants."

"Then, what should I do?" She had asked anxiously.

"If he uses force, I’ll rush to save you, but if he uses drugs, you will have to be cautious enough to not eat or drink anything he gives you. And..."

"Why aren’t you drinking?" Lucian’s voice jolted her awake.

"Oh." She turned her gaze to him, seeing him holding the wine glass in hand, waiting for her to accompany him in drinking.

She smiled awkwardly: "I don’t drink wine without having some snacks to eat along with it. Can you please bring some?"

"Of course." He forced out a hospitable smile. "Just wait a little. I’ll go and bring some snacks from the kitchen."

He returned the glass of wine to the table, rising from the sofa before walking to the kitchen.

As he walked with his back turned to Lisa, she hurriedly swapped the glasses.

Lucian didn’t seem to have noticed anything, walking to the kitchen unpeturbed.

After he was in the kitchen, he took out a packet of chips and poured them into a glass bowl before bringing it to the table.

"Here." He said as he sat down, picking up the swapped glass of wine.

"Let’s start drinking." He suggested with a smile, extending his wine glass towards her for clinking.

Lisa picked up her wine glass and gently touched his, muttering, "Cheers."

He nodded at her with a smile, inviting her to drink.

Instead of drinking, however, Lisa reached out for the bowl of chips with her other hand, grabbing one before eating it.

With his attention focused on her glass of wine, Lucian brought his wine glass to his lips and took a sip while cursing in his head: ’Stop eating the chips and drink the damn wine.’

However, she reached for chip after chip before he couldn’t take it anymore.

He forced a smile and requested politely: "Lisa, why don’t you drink the wine as well? Eating so many chips might ruin your figure. You know how important it is for an actress to watch her weight."

Lisa’s hand stopped midair while reaching for another chip, an embarrassed smile appearing on her face.

She rubbed her cheek embarrassedly, muttering softly: "Sorry, I don’t usually get to eat snacks with my manager watching me all the time."

"Haha, I understand." Lucian let out a fake laugh before requesting, "Please drink. I don’t feel good if I’m the only one drinking."

Lisa gave a nod, bringing the glass of wine to her lips.

Lucian drank the wine while keeping an eye on Lisa’s glass from the corner of his eye.

As he noticed the wine in her glass reducing as she gulped continuously, he sneered inwardly:

’Yes, bitch. Keep drinking. You must think you are drinking the correct wine. Hahaha, fool! I’m a professional. I already knew you would swap glasses. I knowingly gave you the normal wine.’

’I can’t wait to see your face when you find out, hahaha.’
