Dear Brother You Picked the Wrong Sister to Betray novel Chapter 38

Chapter 3

I’d just lifted the glass to my lips when Liam’s phone rang.

When he heard the ringtone, Lam tried to play it cool, but his eyes betrayed his eagerness.

“I need to handle something. You go ahead and sleep.”

For the first time ever, Liam didn’t walt for me to finish my milk before hurrying out.

I laughed butterly to myself.

Only Zoey could make Liam look that way.

After he left, I set the glass down.

A few minutes later, I crept to his office door.

Through the crack, I saw Liam leaning back in his desk chair, completely relaxed and at ease.

He was smiling at his phone screen, his eyes soft.

“Thank you for the gift. I love it,” came a sweet female voice from the phone.

I knew that voice all too well–it belonged to my half–sister, Zoey Parker.

“But aren’t you worried she’ll catch you video calling me every night?” Zoey asked, sounding concerned.

Liam’s face showed nothing but confidence.

“She won’t find out.”

“I put sleeping pills in her milk every night. I always wait until she’s knocked out before I call you.”

Sleeping pills?

My eyes widened in shock as I stared at Liam through the crack in the door.

My hands clenched involuntarily as pain squeezed my chest.

To make sure he could video chat with Zoey without interruption, Liam had been drugging my milk every night.

So it wasn’t the warm milk helping me sleep–it was the sleeping pills.

No wonder I’d fall asleep so quickly after drinking the milk he brought me, and sleep straight through until morning.

No wonder he always watched me finish every drop and took the glass away himself.

Looking back now, all the signs were there.

I have only myself to blame for being so stupid.

For thinking Liam was my salvation.

“That’s a relief. You know I’d hate to be the reason your marriage with my sister falls apart,” Zoey said, sounding relieved, though I could hear the poorly hidden glee and smugness in her voice.

“You need to rest–your body hasn’t fully recovered yet,” Liam said in that gentle, coaxing tone.

“Fine,” Zoey replied, sounding reluctant.

“Good girl. I’ll come see you tomorrow.”

Liam’s lips curved into a smile, his face full of tender affection.

He waited for Zoey to hang up first, staring at the screen until it went dark before finally putting his phone away with obvious reluctance.
