Chapter 176
Sebastian couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. After all, the wine was meant to be drunk; it didn’t matter who held it.
“This wine is still in a metal bottle. I’ve never seen this kind of wine before. Mr. Hunter, what kind of wine is this?” Belinda asked Jordan curiously. Jordan was also puzzled. This was the first time he had seen such a wine, and it didn’t even have a name on it.
Still, he pretended to be knowledgeable and said, “This is a wine brewed by Misty Oak Hotel itself. Although it’s not as renowned as those top-tier famous wines, it’s still considered a fine wine.”
In Jordan’s view, a wine gifted by the hotel couldn’t be bad, but since it lacked a name, it naturally couldn’t be compared to the top-tier wines. He was sure there was no mistake in saying so.
Sebastian revealed a mocking smile. The Emperor Cognac brewed by his mentor was one of the finest wines in the world.
It was aromatic, rich with a lingering taste, and even had life-extending properties. A bottle could sell for one to 200 million dollars.
Hearing Jordan belittle it as inferior to some superficially famed wines was laughable to him.
Jordan was instantly enraged after seeing Sebastian’s smile. “What are you laughing at? Are you saying I’m wrong?”
“Of course you’re wrong, and terribly so!” Sebastian scoffed.
Before Jordan could burst in anger, Belinda said angrily, “Enough, you useless piece of shit! Mr. Hunter is a regular here. A poor loser like you wouldn’t even have the right to be here if it wasn’t for him. What right do you have to question him?”
“That’s right. You’re just jealous of Mr. Hunter and looking for trouble!” Lyra coldly huffed.
Elijah’s expression immediately darkened, as did Ronan’s and Evelyn’s. They all agreed with Lyra’s statement.
“Actions speak louder than words.” Sebastian looked up at the waitresses and asked, “Let me ask you, did your hotel brew this wine?”
Several waitresses immediately shook their heads. They had never seen this kind of wine.
Jordan’s face turned red, as if someone had slapped him hard.
Sebastian looked at Jordan with a playful smile. “Mr. Hunter, didn’t you just say the hotel brewed this wine? How come even the hotel’s staff don’t know about it?”
Jordan was utterly embarrassed and furious. “I just recalled wrongly, that’s all. Since it’s not from the hotel, where did you get this wine?”
“It seems your memory is failing you. I’ve already said this wine was a gift from a friend,” Sebastian replied.
“Oh, I get it now.” Lyra suddenly realized and said, “He didn’t just go to the restroom. He went back to his car to get the wine.
“This wine doesn’t even have a label. It must be cheap liquor poured into an empty bottle. You have some nerve to bring such trash here.”
“She’s right,” Lucas interjected. “We’re in the best room in the best hotel in Wave City. Bringing such trash wine here just lowers our standards!”
Sebastian became furious upon
hearing these people insult the wine his mentor had brewed. “This wine is the finest in the world, and you dared to call it trash. Such ignorance!”
“If I say it’s trash, it’s trash. Get rid of it, and don’t bother us,” Lyra disdainfully said.
Jordan joked, “Lyra, you shouldn’t say that. What seems like trash to us might be a treasure to him. After all, we are not on the same level.”
Lyra nodded. “You’re right. Trash brought in a trash item. It’s a perfect match!”
Belinda and others immediately laughed, their eyes filled with contempt.
Jordan picked up the bottle of
Emperor Cognac and deliberately said, “This trash wine isn’t
completely useless, after all. The air here has been polluted by someone, which might be good for
Ov
disinfection.”
Jordan then opened the Emperor Cognac. A rich aroma of the wine spread out.
The scent was delightful and refreshing.
Jordan was slightly surprised, but he didn’t think much of it. The next second, he suddenly turned the bottle upside down, and the slightly murky wine poured out.
Sebastian’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Jordan, don’t blame me for not warning you. This is my wine. You can’t afford to compensate for it!” Jordan laughed. “Did you hear what he said? It’s just a bottle of trash wine, and he says I can’t afford it.”
Lyra smirked disdainfully. “You’re
et
just a country bumpkin still trying to scam people. But no worries; Mr. Hunter has plenty of money. If you have a decent attitude, maybe he’ll reward you with 100,000 dollars or so.
QUMS
In their eyes, the wine Sebastian had brought couldn’t possibly be anything special. They didn’t take it seriously at all.
Sebastian’s lips curled into a mocking smile. The wine was worth 200 million dollars. He was curious to see what Jordan would offer to compensate
for it.
