Chapter 179
Zia immediately approached Jordan with a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes. “How dare you dispose of the wine I gave to Mr. Wilder? You’ve got some nerve!”
Zia’s presence was so imposing that Jordan felt a chill run down his spine.
However, he quickly composed himself. “Miss, judging by your appearance and demeanor, you’re definitely one of us from the upper class. How could you possibly be friends with a country bumpkin like him? I guess he must have paid you to act.”
Hearing Jordan insult Sebastian as a country bumpkin, Zia became furious and slapped him across the face.
“What are you doing?” Lyra was instantly enraged. “How dare you hit Mr. Hunter? Are you looking for trouble?”
Jordan was both shocked and angry. “Who gave you the right to hit me? How dare you?”
“If you dare disrespect Mr. Wilder again, hitting you will be the least of it!” Zia smirked coldly
She didn’t care who Jordan was. Anyone who disrespected Sebastian deserved to be hit. The Quirrel family wasn’t afraid of anyone in Wave City.
Of course, even if she really hit someone important from outside of Wave City, it wouldn’t matter if Sebastian backed her. She feared nothing. Struggling to contain his anger, Jordan said, “How much did he pay you to act? Name your price, and I’ll pay ten times that!”
“Acting?” Zia scoffed coldly. “I’m tired of wasting my time with you. You spilled my wine. You must compensate for it. You’re too poor to afford tenfold, so just compensate the original price.”
“The original price? Don’t tell me it’s 200 million dollars.” Jordan’s expression was sarcastic; he was already certain that Zia was an actress Sebastian had hired to play the part.
“You think I’m acting?” Zia smiled disdainfully, then handed Jordan the auction transaction list.
“This is the transaction list from when I bought this bottle of wine. Take a look, and if there are no objections, let’s settle the account.”
Jordan glanced at the list and
scoffed. You guys are
well-prepared. Someone who didn’t know better might think it’s real. But a wine worth 200 million dollars-I’ve never even heard of such a thing.”
“That just shows how ignorant you are!” Zia said disdainfully.
“Ignorant?” Jordan laughed in anger.
Lyra couldn’t hold back anymore. She stood up and said, “Do you know who you are talking to? He is the second son of the Hunter family, the number one family in Wave City.
“He’s also a VIP at this hotel. And you say he is ignorant? How absurd!”
“That’s right, you’re just a little
actress this poor loser hired. I advise you to be careful with your words. If you offend Mr. Hunter, the consequences aren’t something you can afford!” Belinda warned coldly.
Zia looked at Jordan with disdain and said coldly, “I’ll ask you one more time. Are you going to pay or not?”
Furious, Jordan responded, “If it’s
real, I’ll pay whatever it costs.
Unfortunately, you think you can
extort me with a fake document, and
your greed has overreached.
Naturally, I won’t let myself be taken advantage of like this.”
“You’re saying my document is fake?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Of course not. This document is absolutely real. You can check Deviril Auction House’s official website,” Zia stated.
Skeptical, Jordan took out his phone to check and was shocked by what he found. His face turned pale.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Hunter?” Lyra noticed his unusual expression and quickly asked.
“At last year’s auction, Deviril Auction House had indeed sold a bottle of wine worth 200 million dollars,” Jordan said as he was visibly shaken.
Though Jordan was the second son of the Hunter family and considered himself well-informed and high-standing, the idea of a 200-million-dollar wine deeply shocked him.
Despite being a member of the Hunter family, 200 million dollars was still a significant amount for him. It was almost impossible to produce without liquidating assets.
