Context: The scene takes place on Robert and Olivia's wedding night, approximately 20 years prior to the main story.
Robert is not a one-dimensional villain in this moment, but a desperate, morally bankrupt young man. He is drowning in gambling debts and sees the immediate solution not in his new wife, but in the opportunity to exploit her. His motivation is a toxic mix of financial panic and a complete lack of scruples, viewing Olivia not as a partner, but as a commodity to be traded for his own survival. The climax of the scene is him orchestrating the betrayal: slipping cash to the waiter and whispering the instructions to drug the wine. This action must be performed with a chilling mixture of secrecy and decisiveness, solidifying him as the story's primary antagonist from its very origin.
