Of course, this was because he didn’t know the bartender had been switched. If he knew the bartender had drunk the prepared Qianyu Flower wine himself, he’d probably go completely mad!

“Hehe, you must be Young Master Samuel Foster, right? I’ve heard your name for a long time, it’s an honor to finally meet you!”

Seeing that the other party had even closed the door, William Nash dropped the pretense, chuckled, and sat down directly.

“Hmm?”

Seeing the bartender in front of them being so rude, both Samuel Foster and Little Grace Nash couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows.

In this world, the master-servant hierarchy is still very strong. For a bartender to be so disrespectful to the young master’s guest, anyone would be angry.

“Don’t be so quick to get angry. Once I finish, you probably won’t even be mad at me anymore!”

William Nash wiped his right hand across his face, removing his disguise, and revealed his true appearance to the two of them.

“William Nash? Why are you here? You…”

Little Grace Nash hadn’t expected the bartender to suddenly turn into her younger brother’s appearance, and was startled. But then she thought of something, and her face turned deathly pale!

Her brother was always reserved, but he hated it most when others acted on their own. You could tell from how he handled things with Thomas Nash!

She had originally planned to borrow money early and quietly give it to her aunt (who was William Nash’s mother), so he wouldn’t find out. But she hadn’t expected that he’d seen her every move!

To sneak out and borrow money like this without telling him—there’s no doubt she’d get a scolding!

Thinking about being scolded by her brother, Little Grace Nash twisted the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her delicate body trembling slightly!

If William Nash knew that his sister, upon seeing him, wasn’t concerned about why he’d woken up from a coma, but was instead afraid of being scolded, he’d probably regret it even more!

“Sister, I’ll explain why I’m here in a bit! First, I need to talk to Young Master Samuel Foster about something!”

William Nash gave Little Grace Nash a smile, then turned to look at Samuel Foster.

“What? My brother wants to explain things to me… and even smiled at me? Am I seeing things…”

Seeing the boy’s expression, Little Grace Nash’s previously tense body jolted, her beautiful eyes widened, and she shook her head hard, showing deep confusion!

Her brother had grown up in front of her, and she knew his personality best. He was reserved and withdrawn, always trapped in their father’s shadow, unable to break free. No matter what he did, even if he was wrong, he’d never explain himself, always keeping a stern face, cold as ice to everyone!

With that kind of personality… how could he smile at her?

Smile at her… The last time she saw him smile was probably when he was four years old…

“I must be seeing things…”

Shaking her head, Little Grace Nash thought to herself.

Chapter 0007 Blossoming Chrysanthemums

“You’re Edward Nash’s only son, William Nash?”

Edward Nash was the recipient of the Luoshui Golden Shield back in the day, a very famous figure. As his son, William Nash might have kept a low profile, but Samuel Foster had still heard the name. He just hadn’t expected to meet him in such a situation, and in such a bizarre way!

Besides, he’d heard of disguise techniques, but to disguise oneself to this extent was truly unheard of!

“That’s right!” He’d thought he’d have to say more to get the other’s attention, but it seemed he’d already heard of him. William Nash smiled faintly, “I’ve long heard that Young Master Samuel Foster is both scholarly and skilled in martial arts, with outstanding talent. But I didn’t expect you’d be played for a fool and not even realize it!”

“Played for a fool? What do you mean?” Samuel Foster narrowed his eyes.

“Hehe!” William Nash chuckled, casually opened the lid of the jug in his hand, and tossed the wine jug over.

“Hmm?” Seeing this, Samuel Foster was a bit confused, but still caught the jug. When he looked down, his face immediately turned ugly!

He might not have as much experience as an old soul like William Nash, but that didn’t mean Samuel Foster was clueless. As the heir of a great family, how could he not recognize a double-spouted wine jug!

For Emily Nash to drink with him using this kind of jug, there was no need to guess—there was definitely some hidden agenda!

“There are two kinds of wine in here. One of them has been soaked with Qianyu Flower. No matter your cultivation, after drinking it, your lust will surge within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It’s ten times stronger than those so-called Hehuan powders!” William Nash said casually.

“Ten times stronger than Hehuan powder?” He’d never heard of Qianyu Flower, but Samuel Foster knew what Hehuan powder was. To put something like that in the wine… and then deliberately arrange for him and Little Grace Nash to be in the same room…

With the explanation laid out like this, if he still didn’t get it, Samuel Foster wouldn’t be fit to be the family heir!

“Hmph, why should I believe what you say!” Although he was already seventy or eighty percent convinced, Samuel Foster still snorted coldly.

“If you don’t believe me, you can take this wine back and have someone check it! Also, if you still don’t believe me, you can look around the hotel. I guarantee Emily Nash hasn’t left—he’s definitely hiding here, waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. But… I switched his wine with yours, and by my calculations, it should have already taken effect. You can go check on him and see the effects of the wine for yourself…”

William Nash chuckled.

“You switched the wine?” Samuel Foster hesitated for a moment. “Fine, I’ll go take a look. If Emily Nash really… is acting strange, I, Samuel Foster, will remember this favor!”

“Sister, you stay here and don’t go out. I’ll be back soon!” Seeing that the other party was mostly convinced, William Nash instructed Little Grace Nash, then took the lead and pushed the door open to leave.
