Chapter 300


    Tahlia froze.


    “You’re free to chase after ke if you like him, but don’t involve me in this drama, or… I’ll be much


    harsher than ke ever could,” Pearl said with a smile, then turned to ke and suggested, “Let’s go.


    Aren’t we going to the wine tasting?”


    ke nodded, and they left, leaving Tahlia behind with a flushed face.


    The wine tasting took ce in the garden behind the vi of a prominent figure from Bodgow, attended


    by members of the upper ss.


    ke was highly regarded and had an excellent reputation in Bodgow, making this his first public


    appearance with apanion. What made it even more notable was the fact that hispanion was


    both beautiful and well-mannered, and there was an undeniable resemnce between them.


    Some of the attendees, who had their sources and informationworks, began chatting while


    discreetly pointing at Pearl.


    “I know that woman. She’s the estranged granddaughter of the Jordans. She grew up in a small town


    so she’s not very polished.”


    “Oh, I thought she’s from a rich family. She doesn’t look out of ce here.”


    “Who knows? She might be putting on an act.”


    Pearl noticed their conversation and cast a stern gaze in their direction, causing them to fall silent


    immediately.


    The wine tasting was about to begin, with sses of wine beautifully arranged on the tables,


    shimmering in the light.


    The emcee took the stage and addressed the guests, “Anyone who can name all the wine will be given


    the grand prize-an antique wine ss.”


    The guests exchanged nces and hesitated to participate. The challenge seemed deceptively simple,


    but in reality, it was quite difficult. Without water to cleanse their ptes between. tastings, those


    without a discerning pte would likely struggle with the various vors.


    Ten minutes passed, and no one dared to attempt it.


    Most attendees were uninterested in the antique wine ss, and many were hesitant to step forward


    and risk embarrassment, so they just silently watched.


    ke was the first to take up the challenge, making it through nine sses sessfully but faltering on


    thest one.


    Pearl smiled, noting his disappointment. “Do you really want that ss?”


    ke nodded. “Of course. I’ve been collecting the entire set, and this is thest one. I’d be


    disappointed if I couldn’tplete the collection.”


    Glenn Palmer, who had been greeting people earlier, approached and noticed ke’s dejected


    expression. He patted his shoulder reassuringly. “It’s alright. I don’t think anyone will be able to guess


    the wine correctly. If no one manages it, we can simply offer a big sum of money to


    buy it after the event.”


    Pearl gave him an exasperated look. “Why won’t you get it when it’s free?”


    Glenn wasn’t fazed, as he knew that was just how she spoke He smiled patiently. “It’s not easy to


    guess this wine correctly. It’s not something just anyone can obtain for free.”

    Pearl looked around and then proposed, “What if I can help you get it?”


    ke’s eyes widened with hope. “Can you really?”


    “Of course, but I have one condition.”


    ke understood she wouldn’t do it without getting something in return, so he asked, “What is it?”


    “I’ll tell youter. For now, you owe me one,” Pearl replied with a hint of mischief.
