Chapter 2146

Arabella flashed a nonchalant smile. “Just put it there, thank you.”

“Sure.” Steward set the afternoon tea on the nearby table, his eyes widening at the sight of the various gadgets and machines

scattered throughout the lab. Each was a mystery to him, and he silently marveled at Miss Bella's ability to operate such complex

equipment.

“Do you have anything else to say?” Arabella asked, noticing he hadn't left yet.

“Miss Bella, allow me to.” Steward proceeded to unwrap all the items of the afternoon tea, smiling and saying, “Why don’t you

come over and have a sip? Just for show, so I can snap a picture and report back.”

Arabella strolled over and picked up a cup of coffee, taking a sip.

Steward quickly took out his phone and took a selfie, grinning like a Cheshire cat and throwing up a ‘peace’ sign; he captured

both himself and Arabella in the background and sent the picture to Sean.

“Why are you blocking my sister?” came Sean's disgruntled text, followed shortly by another jab, “Time to diet, big guy. Who

wants to see you??"

Steward was about to explain when another message from Sean arrived, slightly accusatory, “Does my sister look unhappy? Did

you force her to eat?”

“May the heavens bear witness. Even Master Sean, with such an honorable status, wouldn't dare to bully Miss Bella, do you

think I have the guts?”

“You do know yourself well.” Sean’s next message popped up, “Does she like it? Is there any flavor she doesn't want??”

“She loves it,” Steward lied smoothly. “She said your care for her is like these afternoon teas, which warms her heart. She also

said having you as a brother is the best, way better than any other.”

“Nonsense.” Sean's response was swift, piercing through the lie, “Are you itching for a beating? You think you can fool me with

those tall tales??”

He knew his darling sister would never say such things.

“Come join me.” Arabella’s invitation made Steward swallow hard; truth be told, he was a bit hungry indeed.

“Miss Bella asked me to join her for afternoon tea:) “ Steward reported back to Sean before grabbing a piece of cake and

savoring the heavenly taste.

“Eat more,” Arabella urged, pushing the food closer to him. “They're too much for just me.”

“Miss Bella, you're too kind. Not only are you a beauty with a heart of gold and intelligence to match, but you also have the

wisdom of a sage,” Steward praised as he ate. “Take that fire at the health department, for example. Sean was on it for ages with

no leads, and then you step in and single-handedly reveal the mastermind behind it all. You're incredible, Miss Bella, truly an

inspiration!”

He continued without any

reservations, “Back then, Sean and I

went through a lot of twists and Ss

in order to inv fgaiethb tri about

1 fire! Réiember when you and

Sean were fighting over a man

named Sam? You two even came to

blows, but then someone shot Sam

out of nowhere. You examined his

wound and said the bullet was

poisoned!” Please read the original

Arabella recalled this, nodding her head, indeed such a thing happened.

Steward savored another piece of

cake, then went on, “Because of the

poison, you said he was beyond

hope, and you left hiphepind with

throwing a smoke bomb. I thought I

had picked up a treasure and

believed that he could be saved, so I

hurriedly drove him to the hospital,

and guess what, he kept shaking as if

he was about to pass.” Please read

Steward seemed to get carried away,

vividly recounting the past events, ‘I

told him if he revealed t trgtiO 1

doctors to save him. He suddenly

grabbed my hand, wanting to say

something desperately.” Please read

.

At the time, Steward thought the truth was within reach, and his voice mirrored his excitement, “He was clutching me with one

hand, pointing outside with the other, lips moving but no words coming out. It drove me crazy.”

Arabella knew that someone poisoned with venomvine couldn't speak or write, their bodies would uncontrollably tremble, which

was why she hadn't bothered to take him away with her.

Because it would have been futile.
