    “Of course no problem. Wait for me a moment and contact Austin while you are at it.”


    After speaking, Osborne walked towards Violet and said something to her.


    Not long after, Osborne and Barlyn left the Radcliffe Manor together. Donna and rissa watched


    their backs with peculiar expressions


    “That brat!”


    Donna muttered, “I asked Barlyn to protect you, but all he does is go


    o out drinking and even takes Osborne with him. He is just


    making things worse.”


    rissa chuckled, “Aunt Donna, it is okay. Drinking is the only hobby Barlyn has, right? Besides, if


    something really needs his attention, he would not neglect it”


    Donna nodded, “That is true. He might seem unreliable, but he knows his priorities when it


    matters”


    Chrissa said enviously, “Aunt Donna, I wish I could go out and have fun like Earlyn. I do not want to


    be cooped up here.


    Donna shook her head, “rissa, until we figure out why the Aberrants wants to kill you, you need


    to stay in the manor where it is safe”


    “When will that be?”


    Donna fell silent The Radcliffe family had been investigating, but found no clues.


    rissa’s eyes dimmed.


    She sighed, “Aunt Donna, I am tired. I am going to rest”


    Meanwhile, Osborne and Barlyn quickly met up with Austin


    They gathered at a vi not far from the Radcliffe Manor, which belonged to the Montague family


    “Seriously, Mr. Radcliffe, we just drankst night, and now you want to drink again? I just woke up.


    Are you trying to get me drunk and take advantage of me?‘ Austin teased.

    Barlyn red at her. “You think I want to invite you? Besides, who would take advantage of you?


    Osborne asked me to bring YOU”


    Austin’s face lit up with a smile.


    “Oh, that is great! Osborne is so considerate, he did not forget about me.”


    Osborne smiled slightly.


    Barlyn rolled his eyes. “What is that supposed to mean? When I invite you, it is to get you drunk, but


    when Osborne invites you, it is considerate?”


    “Austin, you have double standards.”


    Austin smirked, “Because Osborne is a good person, and you are not!”


    Barlyn was speechless and decided not to argue. Instead, he excitedly brought out a case of wine

    “The bar’s winest night was no good. Today, we are drinking this. I took it from rissa’s cer –


    thirty–year–old Musigny Grand Crul”


    “This is rare and excellent wine!”


    Barlyn eagerly prepared to open the wine. Everyone knew that his only hobby was drinking the


    finest wine.


    As long as there was


    good wine, he could not resist..


    Austin asked the housekeeper to bring some food and sat down


    Osborne casually asked, “Is this wine good? How much does it cost per bottle?”


    Barlyn quickly replied, “Of course it is good! Musigny is one of the top ten wineries in Europe. With


    my twenty years of drinking experience, this wine ranks in the top five! It is not too expensive, thirty–


    five thousand dors per bottle.”


    “But wine is always worth its price – the more expensive, the better it tastes”


    “I cannot wait any longer.”


    Just as Barlyn was about to open the bottle, Osborne stopped him with a smile. “Is expensive wine


    really better? Today, we would not drink this. I brought some good wine.”


    Barlyn was stunned.


    “Osborne, you brought good wine? What kind?”


    Osborne smiled faintly, “I am not very familiar with wine. It was a gift from a friend. He said it is top–


    tier wine from the Draco Group’s winery, called ‘cium Beauty.“”


    Osborne did not start with the most expensive Noble Blue, but took out a six–hundred thousand


    dors per bottle cium Beauty first.


    But even then, Barlyn was shocked.


    His eyes widened in disbelief. “Osborne, what did you say? cium Beauty? From the Draco


    Group?”


    Barlyn’s breathing quickened.


    Osborne nodded, “Yes, it is called cium Beauty. I do not know if it is real. I will go get it, and you


    can check”


    After saying that, Osborne went to the car to fetch a bottle of cium Beauty


    The reason he only took one bottle was not because Osborne was being stingy, but because he


    had other ns. Barlyn was already anxious


    He grabbed the ciun Beauty and excitedly started examining it.


    “ciun Beauty


    “It really is cium Beauty! Only high–ranking officials in the Draco Group can asionally drink


    this. It is real!”


    Austin saw Earlyn’s excitement


    She could not help but say, “Barlyn, is it o


    treasure


    “You do not get it


    necessary to be so excited? It is just a bottle of wine. You act like it is a priceless


    Earlyn exnned, “To a wine lover, this bottle is more precious than any treasure! It is a top–quality


    wine you cannot buy”


    He whispered, “Do you know how much it is worth on the ck market?”
