Chapter 260

Of course, some were tempted when they heard that they could have a dance with Mr. Bowers..

After all, the socialites knew that they would never be able to have a man like Samuel, who had both thelooks and the background. Therefore, it would be an honor for them to be able to even have a dance withhim.

“I‘m in.”

“I know a little about wine. I’d like to try too!”

When Susan and Phoebe realized that Natalie had yet to voice her desire to join, their hearts beganracing. After exchanging a glance, Phoebe asked her, “Ms. Natalie, you seem to like wine a lot, so I‘msure you know wine well. You‘re going to join in with this guessing game, aren‘t you?”

Before Natalie could answer her, Phoebe added, “I‘m sure you‘ll be able to differentiate between thegood and the bad wine after drinking that much of the Leister family‘s wine, right?”

Hearing that, Natalie pursed her lips and turned to look at the beaming Phoebe.

Unsurprisingly, the daughter of a prestigious family like the Leister family would be smarter than theordinary person.

Evidently, Phoebe was forcing her to join.

If she did not, it would mean she was admitting that she had no sense of aesthetics, it would mean thatthe Leister family‘s wine was wasted on her. On the other hand, if she joined and failed to give thecorrect answers, she would become the laughingstock of the day.

It was a trap

Natalie knew it was a trap, but still, she stepped right into it.

As she looked into Phoebe‘s gleeful eyes, Natalie replied, “Count me in.”

That surprised Phoebe and Susan, for they thought that she would have admitted defeat instead ofagreeing to the invitation. Hmph. If she refuses to bow to us now, she‘s going to embarrass herself later.

Phoebe then said with a smile, “Susan and I will be joining as well.”

Susan nodded. “This is a wine–tasting session, so we should get a connoisseur to be our referee, or elseit might be unfair. Mr. Hector knows wine best. He even has an IWA Advanced Level Award In WinesAnd Spirits from International Wine Association. He‘s the best candidate to be the referee of this game.I‘ll invite him over. I‘m sure he‘ll say yes.”

Natalie did not know who Hector was, but she did not care.

Soon, Susan came back with their referee, Hector Lightwood.

The way Susan talked about Hector made him sound like an old man; however, he was at most a man inhis mid–thirties.

The man was wearing a wine red suit with a black dress shirt underneath. Of course, he did not have abeautiful face like Samuel did, but he did not look bad at all. Furthermore, he was a man with a well–builtbody. In other words, Hector seemed reliable and stylish.

The moment the women saw Hector, they became a bunch of lovestruck idiots.

On the other hand, Natalie put a hand on her forehead and sighed. It‘s as if women‘s nature is to be alovestruck idiot.

As men like Samuel, Yandel, and Ross were always around her, Hector‘s good looks did not faze her.Therefore, she was the calmest among the women.

However, her calmness was what attracted Hector‘s attention to her.

Hector then went to the Leister family‘s winery and grabbed ten bottles of wine. Before he came backwith them, he put them all in decanters. Thus, when he returned with the wine, all they could see werethe ten filled decanters; they could not see any labels of the bottles he had picked.

It was a rather grand sight when those ten decanters were placed on the liquor trolley.

Many guests turned to look at it.

As Susan was the star of the night, and as the socialites were playing a wine guessing game, many ofthe guests had paused in their conversations and gathered around them to replace out what they weredoing.

Hector then said, “There are ten types of wines here. We‘ll take turns guessing, and only those whomake the right guesses can continue trying the next type of wine. Those who make the wrong guess willbe immediately disqualified. The ones with the most correct answers will be the winner of this game.“
