The only glass in Lily Shaw's hand, carefully watched over by the Lowell Family, never gave Officer Tan or his people a chance to make a swap.
If Lily carelessly drank it, not even a will of steel could withstand the drug inside.
Lily knew about the Lowell Family's plot even before coming to the party, so she was already on her guard.
The female servant from the Lowell Family came over with a tray to serve her wine. Unable to suppress her inner terror, no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't stop her hand from shaking as she handed Lily the "doctored" red wine. Seeing the guilt in her expression, Lily instantly became wary of the wine in her hand.
To test her suspicion, Lily deliberately raised the glass to her lips several times, but always put it down just before it touched her mouth.
She made a point of repeating the gesture several times; her probing was obvious enough that anyone with a brain could see she was doing it on purpose.
