<b>Chapter </b><b>659 </b>


    Rowan grew increasingly fearful, realizing he had no chance of winning. After working with Danny for so long, he understood that Danny had a natural talent for brewing.


    If Danny found new inspiration, the wine he made would surely be very popr.


    Rowan knew he was no match for Danny. He thought it best to leave quickly.


    Before he left, he destroyed the wine, knowing he couldn’t win anyway. If Owen found out about his departure and checked the wine, he would understand Rowan’s predicament.


    Before leaving, Rowan wrote a letter of apology to Owen, then disappeared quickly, leaving no chance for anyone to find him.


    Owen trusted Rowan deeply, giving him enough autonomy and rarely interfering or saying much.


    He just wanted Rowan to focus on making wine, thinking that with such a generous sry, along with a house and <b>a </b>car, no other boss could match his generosity.


    Surely, he thought Rowan would be wholeheartedly loyal to him. No one usually questioned Rowan’s actions.


    Little did he know, Rowan had already packed up and left.


    On the day of thepetition, Maliah personally came to oversee the delivery. She waited and waited but didn’t see Rowan.


    She went straight to the winery and found a barrel of wine and a letter left behind.


    Maliah sneered. She didn’t know who her father had hired, but since there was a letter, it must be about money. She tossed the letter aside and told the bodyguards, “Load this wine onto the truck and take it away!”


    The bodyguards nodded, lifting the barrel, but they noticed an unusual smell as they approached. This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    They frowned, wondering if this was really good wine brewed by Danny’s apprentice.


    They were somewhat astonished but said nothing more. Since it was this barrel of wine, they would wait for thepetition to open it.


    At thepetition venue, Maliah was thrilled. She had secured the pearl ne and was eager to <b>see </b>how Valerie would respond.


    Maliah thought, ‘Valerie <b>is </b>still a lowly woman even if she’s backed by Matthew. She will lose to me!‘


    Maliah couldn’t help but scoff. When she arrived at the officialpetition venue, she saw Valerie approaching.


    Crossing her arms, Maliah said, “Miss Warren, no, I should call you Mrs. Grant. It’s not toote to back out now.”


    Valerie nced at her, noticing her arrogant attitude. She raised an eyebrow and replied, “I’d say the same to you. Is the pearl ne ready?”


    Maliah said, “Valerie, don’t think you’re all that just because you have the Grant family backing you. Today, I’ll make sure -you lose.”


    you


    Valerie smirked. “Who wins and who loses <b>is </b>yet to be seen. We’ll know after the selection. Are you so nervous that have <b>to </b>act like this? Don’t think you can scare me. The results will speak for themselves<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Maliah, infuriated, demanded, “Get the wine inside. I want to <b>see </b>how you n to win today.”

    Chapter 659


    Valerie didn’t want to argue with her. Maliah was just a child. Owen wasn’t here today, perhaps out of fear.


    What kind of wine could a petty person like Rowan produce?


    <b>+</b>50%


    Valerie was curious, and Danny whispered to her, “Mrs. Grant, let’s go inside. The Anderson family isn’t worth worrying about. Even if Rowan were skilled, he couldn’t win.


    +5


    Danny was confident. Rowan’s impetuous nature meant he couldn’t focus on brewing quality wine, and the form <b>was </b>his own. Danny knew Rowan’s past behavior and didn’t take him seriously.


    If Rowan were ambitious, he wouldn’t have resorted to arson, which showed his true anxiety.


    Danny was confident that thispetition would elevate him further and ensure Valerie’s victory.


    Hearing this, Valerie nodded. She was confident she would win the ne.


    She nced at Maliah, who remained disdainful and arrogant.


    Inside the selection venue, the judges had heard about the bet between the Anderson family and the Grant family. They were curious, as today’s main event was between these two prominent business families.


    Valerie’s winery had previously had its reputation tarnished by Lincoln. It remained to be seen whether hiring Danny had improved the situation.
