Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Wine Worth Hundreds of Millions
Jade Lockwood finished speaking, a wave of smugness on her face, feeling that she was already the victor.
Nora Northwood just glanced at her, then closed her eyes to taste the wine, but her eyebrows remained furrowed.
"Pretentious." Jade scoffed, confident that Nora had no clue.
Not even she could tell by tasting, let alone Nora, considering this wine was unaffordable even for her. How could Nora possibly afford it?
Perhaps Nora had tasted previous wines at parties she crashed, but she would never guess this one!
With that in mind, her apprehension eased.
As the seconds ticked by, just when everyone thought Nora certainly wouldn’t guess it, they heard her cool voice quietly say, "Romanee Conti."
A murmur rippled through the crowd, no one willing to believe it, Romanee Conti?
Not only could Nora not guess it, but the host wouldn’t open this bottle for a child’s play-like competition.
Everyone was sure Nora was spouting nonsense.
Yet unexpectedly, the next second, the person in charge looked at her in shock.
As the wine cloth was lifted, everyone’s mouths dropped open, forgetting to breathe.
It really was that legendary red wine worth over a billion!
"How could you possibly..." Jade’s face turned pale, never thinking her final card would lose.
Lily Sloan excitedly ran over and hugged her friend, "I knew you could do it."
"Yes, thank you." Nora shook her head helplessly.
Back in the day, Aunt Sloan had spent a large sum to hire a sommelier to teach Lily about wine tasting.
So, she was well-versed in the topic of wine tasting.
Aunt Sloan had said it was to prevent Lily from embarrassing herself at future banquets since the Sloan Family’s business wasn’t small and often required attending such events.
But unexpectedly, the real beneficiary turned out to be her.
Jade collapsed to the ground, not because she lost, but because...
"Miss Lockwood, the bill has been sent to the Lockwood Family. We hope the Lockwood Family can pay promptly," the person in charge said before leaving, and as for the remaining bottle of wine, it would naturally be sealed and sent to the Lockwood Family.
She hadn’t gone home yet, but she already foresaw that when she did, her father would be furious enough to skin her alive.
"Miss Lockwood, you lost. Please send me vika’s contact information soon."
Nora only reminded her, not expecting Jade to react like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"Are you satisfied now? You’re satisfied now, right?" At this moment, she was like a madwoman, none of her earlier smugness remaining.
"You proposed the competition, and you chose the wager." Nora found it absurd.
"If I knew you were capable, how could I possibly compete with you in wine tasting?" She said it as if it were natural, but everyone could hear the disdain in their eyes.
Did that mean competitions should focus on others’ weaknesses?
This Lockwood person truly redefined their understanding.
Jasper Sinclair watched the scene below with a smile, not expecting the little woman to solve the dilemma herself.
"Remember to remind the Lockwood Family that their darling daughter promised to recommend vika to Nora." He sneered, having seen enough of the spectacle and losing interest in staying.
He turned and left, and the crowd downstairs gradually dispersed.
This time, the Lockwood Family had truly become famous, and with it, so did Nora.
After previously dazzling in front of a master, she now amazed many people again. Who knew what other surprises this woman held?
