Chapter 282 Shawn Drinks It Down
"I'm not looking then."
Shawn took Norah's hand and walked the other way.
Rosalyn's lips quirked for a long time, but she did speak out a single word.
Finally, her hands trembled uncontrollably.
At that moment, her mobile phone rang. It was Lilian calling.
"Hello, Lily," Rosalyn said in tears.
Given Rosalyn's personality, Lilian figured that Shawn would make things difficult for Rosalyn.
Lilian wasn't surprised when she heard Rosalyn's sobbing.
Lilian tried to irritate Rosalyn. "I told you that Norah is not what she used to be. She's had your brother under her spell for a long time now. If you don't make a move today, we won't have a chance at all."
"Lily, you're right. I'll listen to you."
"Okay. Do as I say."
"Hmm."
After another hour, the feast was almost over. The guests were almost done eating.
Rosalyn ordered one of the servants to make a bowl of soup to help Shawn sober up. Then, she immediately poured the pills in her hand into the bowl when no one was around.
After shaking it well, she walked over to Shawn with the bowl of soup.
Seeing Rosalyn arrive, Shawn looked somber.
Rosalyn immediately smiled and said, "Shawn, I'm sorry. I came to apologize to you."
"Do you come to admit you're wrong?"
"I know I shouldn't have falsely accused Norah. I admit I was a little willful, but I was just a little jealous of her. All of you guys like Norah. Whether it's Grandpa, or you. Even my uncles and aunties like her."
"She's the center of all the attention in this family. Everyone favors her. You only have her in your eyes while I'm like a clown."
"My mum already knew what happened just now. She scolded me. I thought about it for a long time. I know I was wrong."
"Shawn, please forgive me for the sake of me being your sister. This is the soup I just made for you myself to help you sober up. Don't worry. From now on, I will respect and love my sister-in-law very much. And I'll never cause her any trouble again. If Norah hates me that much, I might as well just go around her when I see her. I will definitely not give her a hard time."
Rosalyn kept referring to Norah as her sister-in-law.
Needless to say, her words made Shawn delighted.
"Don't do that again. There won't be a next time."
When she heard this, Rosalyn immediately let out a soothing laugh, "Okay. Shawn, it's great that you can forgive me. Well, this bowl of soup..."
Shawn took the bowl of soup, tilted his head, and drank it all in one go.
Finally, his eyes fell on Rosalyn. "You're my sister, and I'll forgive you for the sake of the Lawson family, but remember this. If you dare to be rude to Norah in the future, I will not forgive you."
"Okay. Okay, Shawn. I'll remember everything you said." Rosalyn nodded repeatedly.
Then she walked back with that bowl in her hands.
When she saw that there wasn't a bit of soup left in the bowl, Rosalyn was secretly delighted. She was simply overjoyed.
She thought, 'Norah, let's see when you will stop gloating.
Soon, you'll be in hell in no time!'
Rosalyn felt so happy just thinking about it.
Then, she took out her mobile phone and couldn't wait to call Lilian. "Lily, I made it. You can start getting ready."
"Really?" Lilian asked, a little unsure.
"Well, I said those words you told me. Shawn dropped his guard when he heard me call Norah my sister-in-law. Then he drank that bowl of soup."
"Rosie, are you sure?"
"Of course, Lily. I watched my brother drink that soup with my own eyes. Literally."
But there was no one there at all.
Even the bed was empty. There was no one in the room at all.
Where was Shawn?
Where had he gone?
Lilian immediately grabbed her phone to call Rosalyn and asked, "Where's your brother?"
"Right in the bedroom. I saw him walk in there with my own eyes."
"How is that possible? I've looked everywhere in the room, and I haven't seen him. Not even a ghost is here." Lilian foamed with rage.
Lilian had finally got everything deployed, but she hadn't expected Shawn to be gone.
It literally couldn't have been a worse thing to happen.
"No way. Lily, I watched my brother walk into the bedroom."
"And did you leave in the middle of it?"
"Ah..." Rosalyn immediately slapped her head and regretted it. "I did go downstairs briefly, but only for two minutes. Only a little while."
"Stupid! Do you know how much can happen in two minutes? Your brother isn't even in the room right now. There's only one possibility then. He's already gone out of the room in those two minutes."
"He had drunk that soup. And the medicine is already in his system. He's probably going to have an episode soon. Let me out at once. I must find him as soon as possible."
Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain.
Rosalyn touched her head and spoke with an embarrassed look on her face. "But, Lily... I... I..."
She stammered and didn't dare to say the next words.
Lilian couldn't hold back her anger any longer. She yelled, "What are you talking about? Just say it. Now, you're going to let me out of here right now."
Rosalyn had no choice but to say, "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't have a key to their bedroom."
