### Summary
The narrative returns to high-stakes drama as Geumja, now in her maid disguise as "Josephine," confronts a new poisoning plot during a formal dinner. The central conflict revolves around a scientifically implausible "fresh wine," which readers have overwhelmingly mocked as simple grape juice. Tasked with serving the beverage, Geumja identifies that the glass intended for a guest named Isak is poisoned. Instead of using a simple subterfuge like claiming the glass is dirty—a solution pointed out by numerous frustrated readers—she makes the dramatic public choice to take Isak's glass, presumably to neutralize the threat herself. This decision is heavily criticized by the audience, who not only question the flawed logic but also lament her failure to use her established telepathic link to discreetly warn Kyle. Readers universally anticipate this act will backfire, creating another significant misunderstanding that will humiliate Kyle and fuel his jealousy. The incident highlights a growing tension between the story's intended drama and its execution, framing Geumja's evolution as a proactive agent through clumsy, often counterproductive choices that prioritize forced conflict over character consistency.
