Chapter 730
Sheena turned to Noah, “Noah, can I drink this? It looks good. How about I taste it for Elliot?”
“No!”
“No way!”
Everyone shouted in unison, agitatedly and hastily stopping her.
Sheena had not even touched the edge of the glass when Barbara took her arm, guiding her to the sofa.

“Nana, I know you care for him, but you can’t interfere in this. Don’t worry, your brothers won’t kill him. He made you pregnant out of wedlock! Whatever happens later, It’s the punishment he deserves!
“But…”
“Nothing will happen. Trust me.” Barbara patted her hand, offering reassurance.
Standing calmly behind the coffee table, Elliot looked at Sheena with a comforting gaze.
He bent down, picked up the glass in the middle, representing Corey, and raised it in Corey’s direction.
“Mr. Corey, this is the last time I’ll address you like this. Next time we meet, I hope to call you by your name!
Corey raised an eyebrow, his sharp eagle–like gaze locked onto him.
Facing the gaze of everyone present, Elliot glanced at the liquid in the glass. His Adam’s apple rolled, and he downed the entire glass without hesitation.
The liquor was very spicy, burning his entire mouth almost like fire. Maintaining his calm, he forced it down as the pungent taste slid down his throat, burning every part of his body.
Was that… wasabi?
Frowning at the sensation, his face turned red as he could resist the heat, and he covered his mouth with a fist, coughing softly a few times.
Seeing how well Elliot controlled his expression, Corey smirked and asked,
After recovering, Elliot chuckled softly. “What a great wine! It’s indeed unique!”
Corey did not respond but watched to see how long Elliot could endure.
The toasting continued.
e the taste?”
Elliot, suppressing the burning sensation in his chest, tremblingly picked up the glass on the right, facing Noah. “Thank you for wholeheartedly treating my eyes. This is a toast to you!”
This time, he looked at the liquid in the glass without immediately drinking.

Corey’s drink was spicy. What about Noah’s?
Noah noticed Elliot’s hesitation and looked at him with a sly gaze.
Howard, the only one among the three brothers who had already accepted Elliot, softly reminded him, “Although the taste is quite unusual, it’s good for your health.”
After all, Noah could not genuinely subject Elliot to torturous concoctions as Noah truly cared for Sheena, and the three glasses were actually health–boosting drinks with a bit of seasoning,
With Howard’s assurance, Elliot once again downed the drink.
It was bitter!
Incredibly bitter!
It surpassed the previous occasions when Noah deliberately tricked him, making it a hundred times more bitter!
Not only bitter but also sour and astringent!
As soon as Elliot swallowed it, his stomach churned, making him feel nauseous.
To avoid worrying Sheena, Elliot forcibly swallowed the bitter drink, enduring it until his face turned pale and the muscles in his jaw tightened.
Sheena, watching by his side, was worried. “Forget it! Stop drinking!”
This time, it was Howard who spoke up to stop her.
“That won’t do. There’s still one last glass. If he doesn’t finish it, he would’ve suffered the first two glasses for nothing
Sheena locked eyes with him and understood the hint in his gaze.
She silently released her tightly clenched hands.
