“Jimmy, I…”
Amy was scared by Frank’s fierce gaze and she stammered to speak. She looked like a scared rabbit, flustered and anxious.
Fenny, who was standing by her side, was faring no better. She had buried her head under the table, not daring to meet her boyfriend Jasper’s gaze.
Even Fenny herself regretted this incident. If only she had the chance to taste the Romane-Conti and then post it on her social circle: “Hey girls, have you tasted the 3.6 million dollar Romane-Conti today?”
What a triumphant moment that would be!
Unfortunately, she had this opportunity spoiled by Amy’s negligence. She didn’t even have the chance to take a picture of the wine for social media. She regretted it so much that her guts turned green.
“Hmph! I’ll deal with you later!” Frank snorted coldly and ran out, chasing after the bottle of Romane-Conti.
Upon seeing this, Jasper also followed Frank and rushed out of the private room.
Of course, the reason they rushed out wasn’t just to taste the Romane-Conti. After all, Sherry had returned it. Hence, they wouldn’t get a chance to drink it.
The reason they were chasing after it was to find out who was the respected guest that Phoenix Fragrance Tower served with Romane-Conti.
Instinct told them, it must be someone really important.
Whether it was White Mitchell or not still remained to be seen. After all, White was just released from jail after five years and didn’t have much of a reputation in Sayon. He evidently lacked the power.
The highest possibility was that there was an immensely important person behind White.
If they could meet such an important person or connect with them, it would greatly benefit their future development.
It was a rare chance and they didn’t want to miss it.
Amy and Fenny, who remained in the private room, looked upset as can be.
Their boyfriends rush out after the wine, not caring about their feelings, putting them in an embarrassing situation in front of Sherry.
They came to beat down on Sherry, but instead, they were showboated by her.
They felt like they had choked on their breaths, unbearable and helpless, filled with a sense of defeat and bitterness.
Sherry was nothing more than a manager from a third-tier wealthy family. When compared with their boyfriends, she was nothing.
Their boyfriends, one was an heir from a second-tier wealthy family, and the other was a deputy manager at a branch of the Royal Group. Compared to Sherry, there was an insurmountable gap.
So what if it’s just a bottle of wine worth a few million?
Their boyfriends were not so terrible as to lack a few million. The bottle was just not found by a seller, otherwise, why would Sherry get a chance to wave it around?
Looking at Sherry, she was reluctant even to open a bottle of red wine worth 100,000 dollars. Clearly, she had no real financial strength.
As for why White Mitchell had such a good bottle of wine to show off, who knows?
Maybe he had bribed the waiter to put on a show for Sherry, or maybe the waiter had simply delivered the wrong bottle!
Right, that must be it!
Their hearts were cloaked in endless jealousy. At this moment, all they wanted was to press Sherry Jones under their heels, to reclaim the dignity they had lost.
With this thought, Amy couldn’t wait to say, “Check out Jimmy, our family’s wine fanatic. All for a bottle of wine worth a few million, he’d lose his soul!”
Fenny also chimed in, feigning agreement: “True that, our Jasper is the same. When he sees good wine, he even forgets his own surname.”
Hearing this, Amy continued, “Still, the value of wine only shows before people who appreciate it. To many, it’s just alcohol. Even if it’s a bit pricey, say, for a few million dollars, it does not equal Jimmy’s one-month wage.”
“Right, right. The same is true for our Jasper, a few million – that’s less than the cost of any casual sports car in his garage.” Fenny added.
At this point, Beryl laughed scornfully when she heard their sour grapes antics. Without any hesitation, she said, “Denying the truth when you can’t accept it. Come back when you can afford a bottle of Romanée-Conti!” Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)bin(.)com
“You!”
Amy and Fenny were immediately at a loss for words, red-faced and unable to come up with a comeback.
Beryl glanced at them dismissively, then turned her gaze to Sherry, saying, “Sherry, ignore them. Let’s have our meal. We can’t let them enjoy the good food on this table. Let’s finish quickly, so we can all go our separate ways.”
Beryl started to eat and drink heartily, as if she were devouring the two of them, attempting to take back something they had ostensibly stolen.
At this moment, Amy and Fenny exchanged a glance, then shifted the focus to Sherry Jones’ wedding: “Sherry, you mentioned that your wedding will be in Sayon. Where exactly in Sayon?
I know a few top-tier wedding planning teams, which have planned for several celebrities. Would you like me to introduce them to you? The cost for the venue, decoration, and other miscellaneous items would start at about 100,000 dollars. And with my referral, you could get a 10% discount, isn’t that a great deal?”
Sherry smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, immediately replied: “No need. We have everything ready. The ceremony will take place at a small chapel in the Sayon business alliance Bund.”
A small chapel in the Sayon business alliance Bund?
Amy and Fenny, upon hearing the location immediately, burst out in mockery: “The chapel in Sayon business alliance Bund? Haha… Isn’t that the place that’s good for nothing?
You would host a wedding there? Sherry, haven’t you got it all wrong? You are a general manager, and you’re planning to host your wedding at such a shoddy place?
Won’t people laugh their heads off when the news gets out? Hahaha…”
At this point, Beryl’s temper flared up once more. She slammed her chopsticks on the table, pointing at Fenny angrily, shouting: “Fuck! Aren’t you done yet?! Can’t we just eat peacefully?!
You two just happen to be banging rich men because of your looks, what’s so great about that? Apart from your faces and those silicone boobs, is there anything else you could show off?!”
What’s wrong with a small chapel? Did we invite you? Did we beg you to come? Look at me, I was so blind to regard you two as sisters. Hell, I will burn all our pictures as soon as I return. Go to hell with your so-called friendship! I don’t give a damn!”
Seeing Beryl’s outburst, Fenny retorted indignantly: “Beryl, is it your turn to talk now? You’re meddling in others’ affairs like a dog chasing mice, are you showing off your IQ here?
Who thought of you as a friend? We just took advantage of you back then. And you actually take it seriously?
So what if you have some money in River North? Do you think you can fly? Your family’s wealth is negligible in Sayon. If you keep cursing, be careful I won’t let you out of Sayon!”
