Jordan quickly emptied the bottle of wine. Its aroma filled the air and intoxicated those who smelled it.
Jordan realized it might be a fine wine. However, he still didn’t take it seriously and casually threw the bottle onto the floor.
“After using the wine to disinfect the area, the air has become fresher, don’t you all agree?” Jordan asked meaningfully.
Lyra and Lucas eagerly agreed, seeing it as a chance to please Jordan and simultaneously put down Sebastian.
Sebastian shook his head with a smile. “Jordan, being rash comes with a price. You must compensate for this wine at its original cost.”
Belinda said sarcastically, “Lower-class people will always be just that, lacking any sense of scope. Petty. You dare ask for compensation for a bottle of trash wine? The meal itself could cover your trash wine many times over!”
“That’s right. How shameless are you to even ask for compensation?” Lyra asked with a face full of disdain.
Evelyn was also furious. “Sebastian, shut your mouth. Haven’t you embarrassed us enough?”
Even Lillian thought Sebastian was being petty. Although what Jordan had done was wrong, it was just a bottle of wine.
How shameless could Sebastian be?
Elijah also glared angrily. “Sebastian, you already ruined my birthday celebration last time. If you cause trouble today, I won’t forgive you!” Sebastian laughed out of irritation. “We all know what happened last time. Let’s not bring up the past. We’ll just talk about today.
“I brought a bottle of excellent wine.
Jordan poured it out in public and insulted me incessantly, yet somehow I am to blame. Don’t you find that funny?”

“You’re the one being funny here! In such a high-end place, you brought a nameless wine that no one would drink. Are you trying to upset me on purpose?”
Jordan said with a smile, “Grandpa
don’t be angry. Losing a bottle of wine is painful for poor people like him. We need to try to understand. I’ll just compensate him.”
“Jordan, you’re so generous. Lyra, you’ve got yourself a good man,” Elijah said while looking at Lyra with approval.
Having been praised by Elijah, Lyra couldn’t have been prouder and provocatively looked at Lillian.
Lillian kept her head down and said nothing. Though she wasn’t vain, she was a woman who still desired her man to make her proud in public.
Yet, Sebastian had not only failed to do this but had disappointed her time and again.
Jordan noticed the change in Lillian’s expression and felt secretly delighted. The way he saw it, winning Lillian over was only a matter of time.
Seizing the moment, he pressed harder and completely crushed Sebastian underfoot. He asked
Sebastian, “Tell me, how much im et
your wine? I’ll compensate ten times
its price. Anything extra is just a reward for you.”
Sebastian gave a sly smile. “My wine isn’t cheap. Are you sure you want to compensate tenfold?”
“I always keep my word,” Jordan said proudly.
“Sebastian, enough! Stop embarrassing us, will you?” Lillian finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
Asking for compensation for a bottle of worthless wine would just embarrass them further.
