At this moment, Young Master Maack walked over with a smile on his face and placed two bottles of wine on the table.
"Third Young Mistress Cabello and Young Master Woods, I present to you the legendary monkey wine, a wine whose sweetness is unparalleled, and its aroma thick and flavorful. It's extremely beneficial for those who are training to become chi masters!"
Young Master Maack introduced the wine t o Fane, grinning. "My father stores it here, and I usually don't dare to drink it. I only take a few sips when he's around. Best of all, a wine like this is extremely hard to procure!"
Fane noticed the other man's bootlicking
demeanor and frowned. "If this wine is truly as rare and as good as you say it is, why would you bring it out for us?"
Daniella's brows creased together when she heard Fane's words. Her gaze toward Young Master Maack sharpened. "Don't tell me that you've spiked this drink, Young Master Maack. We're not as gullible as you think we are!"
Young Master Maack nearly collapsed after he heard that. "I would never dare to do something like that even if you gave me a billion bucks," he replied hastily. "How could I do that? I have no right to even touch either of you, being the powerful heir and heiress you two are. Why would I harbor ill intentions toward you!"
Here, Young Master Maack paused for a while, his eyes skittering toward the body o f Young Master Ladenberg. "To be honest with you, that dead fatty is the young master of the Ladenberg family," he finally said, huffing. "The Ladenberg family is the most powerful family in our city, and that fatty regularly bullied us. I was so glad when you killed him, so of course, I had to thank you in some way. Besides, it's just two bottles of wine. It’s nothing compared t o what you did!"
“Good. I knew you didn't have the guts!"
Daniella swiped for one of the bottles and uncorked it. Its thick, heavenly scent hit her nostrils, and she felt as though she could get drunk from its smell alone.
"My God. That’s the smell of monkey wine.
I want some too!"
A few guests sitting at the surrounding tables caught a whiff of the wine. All of them gulped and stared at Fane and Daniella in admiration.
