Isabelle‘s face was totally frozen. Was she not beautiful enough? Was she not being obvious enough?
Why was this man chasing her away?
She secretly unbuttoned her collar and softly said, “I came a long way. Won‘t you let me stay for a while
longer?”
“Ms. Isabelle, you may make yourself at home. I‘ll go to the study.”
Terry North‘s gaze remained unfriendly and fierce.
He had just been in this position for less than a month, and people under his management had different
schemes. All forces were on the move, so he could not take any wrong steps.
As he was about to make his way to the study, the woman grabbed his arm.
His gaze turned menacing, and he swung her away ruthlessly.
Isabelle was startled. When she saw the man‘s eagle‘s eyes, she immediately loosened her grip.
This man was truly terrifying.
No wonder he managed to sneak into Auguste Manor and successfully assassinate Auguste. In the
end, he even had no problem retreating completely.
She took a deep breath and said, “I‘ve brought you some Astroysian tea. It‘s a famous Cairnstanian
brand of Earl Grey.Have you ever heard of this tea?”
Terry North‘s mind instantly went blank.
His memory did not seem to go back beyond a month ago. Nevertheless, he could remember many
things, including some fragmented memories of his childhood when he dreamed.
In his dream, he vaguely remembered that his name contained the word “North,” so he named himself
Terry North.
He remembered living among Astroysians, so he assumed that he should be an Astroysian. But he did
not know his country of origin.
He tried to deduce where he came from based on the language he knew.
However, he realized that he understood about eight languages, and he was as fluent as a native
speaker in all of them.
Cairnstanian‘s Earl Grey Tea …
The name was very familiar. It had to be something he used to drink.
“Make me a cup and send it to my study,” he said indifferently.
Isabelle did not drink tea, and she did not know how to make a cup of tea either, so she passed the
errand to the maid.
The maid had served three leaders, so she knew how to make tea. Half an hour later, Isabelle brought
a cup of clear Earl Grey tea into the study.
Terry North smelled the aroma of the tea.
It lingered on the tip of his nose, making his mind go momentarily blank again.
It seemed like something filled his mind, but it also seemed like nothing at all. He felt a sense of
familiarity but nothing beyond that.
It felt like when he met that Astroysian at the restaurant yesterday.
“I personally made this tea. Please take a sip,” Isabelle urged him.
Her words brought Terry North back to reality.
He raised his hand emotionlessly , divided the tea in half, and handed her one half. “You take a sip
first.”
When Isabelle saw his actions, she nearly jumped to her feet in anger.
Did this man suspect her of poisoning his tea? Unless she lost her mind, she would not take such a
huge risk to poison him.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger before she finished the tea in one go.
The tea was bitter, and it tasted worse than coffee.
After Terry North made sure that she seemed normal, he finally picked up his teacup and took a sip.
The mellow taste of the tea filled his mouth. It was aromatic and fresh, giving him a pleasant feeling.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Isabelle‘s heart pounded fast when she looked at him.
Her father had asked her to become Auguste‘s wife previously, but she had righteously refused.
This time, her father had asked her to visit Terry, and she actually hoped to be in a relationship with the
new leader too. After all, he was young and handsome. On top of that, the scar on his face was
growing on her.
