Oliver's choice of wine was intentional. "Ms. Carver, this bottle of red wine symbolizes luck. It has a smooth finish and isn't too astringent.""I selected this specific bottle since this is Mr. York's first time bringing you here. I didn't want it to seem like a gift from someone else, nor did I wish to accept your money. I simply want to share in your joy as you embark on this new chapter."Aria knew he was merely trying to ingratiate himself with Landon. Oliver was undeniably skilled at business.Landon rose and admired the bottle. "You're too kind, Mr. Richton. I will accept the wine. Please attend Aria's and my engagement party.""Of course!" Oliver replied excitedly.Landon smiled and continued, "However, my fiancée would also like to receive a bottle from the other party. Could you select another one?""The quality isn't crucial, and it's acceptable if you double or triple the price. After all, you are in business, and we are your customers. We won't be drinking the wine,
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 523 Open the Bottle
As soon as Oliver finished speaking, Timmy said, "How expensive can a bottle of wine be? It's nothing much to Christian."Timmy said that to protect Christian's image. After all, it wouldn't look good for Christian to openly flaunt his wealth.Everyone turned their attention to Christian, eager to see if the rumors of his affluence were true. The wine delivered personally by the restaurant owner was expected to be worth at least tens of thousands.None of them had ever tasted such an extravagant wine, considering they were still students dependent on their families. Yet, high qualifications did not preclude a desire to compete.Two people out of the group wanted to discourage Christian from opening the bottle. As students dependent on their families, it felt inappropriate to spend lavishly without having earned any money themselves."Maybe we should forget about it," Mary whispered.Lily shot her a glance. The others, however, laughed mockingly. "You're such a scaredy-cat. What's

Oliver, clad in white gloves, handed Christian the wine for inspection. "It's unopened. Here are the details on temperature, origin, and vintage."With that, Oliver expertly uncorked the bottle, ensuring no wood shavings fell into the wine.The wine glasses had been slightly chilled to preserve the wine's delicate texture, and the gold-trimmed decanter had been prepped in advance.As the wine was poured out, its subtle fragrance filled the air. Most had never tasted such a refined red wine, and their experience was limited to nightclubs and overpriced, diluted cocktails.Being served by the restaurant owner and manager, who carefully poured the wine and presented it on a cart, made them feel superior."It's all thanks to Christian that we're able to enjoy such fine wine today. Cheers, everyone!" Timmy exclaimed.The restaurant's manager resisted the urge to laugh.Christian swirled his wine glass with an air of sophistication. "A toast is fine, but red wine should be savored s
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 525 A Scam
Lily stood there with her fists clenched. Heavy taxes on alcohol and tobacco products were commonplace, yet the students couldn't help but be shocked by the sheer magnitude of those levies.Christian, in particular, was deeply distressed. 1.7 million dollars for a bottle of wine? That sum could have bought him a luxurious new car!Christian couldn't bear the thought of paying that amount. Pain shot through his cheeks as he bit down hard. Desperate for a solution, he turned to Timmy, hoping for a lifeline. Unfortunately, Timmy was too overwhelmed to register Christian's silent plea.A surge of contempt washed over Christian. Timmy had been silent despite all the encouragement earlier, making Christian feel like a fool.The room was deathly silent.Oliver prompted, "Sir?"Determined to salvage his dignity, Christian tugged on Oliver's sleeve. "Why is this wine so expensive?""Expensive?" Oliver flashed him a big smile. "Sir, didn't you say it was just a bottle of wine and wouldn

The disdain on Oliver's face dealt a blow to Lily's dignity. Not wanting to be brought down even more just because of a bottle of wine, she said, "That's enough! It's just a misunderstanding. Christian, pay for everything with your credit card."Her gaze, fixated on Christian, was emotional. She and Christian were similar, so he would definitely know that this incident would only harm his family's reputation if he let it snowball further.If word of this were to spread on campus, if everyone else heard about how Christian, the scion of the Short family, couldn't even afford a bottle of wine, he'd never get to join the elite social circles in Janovin. Christian understood what Lily meant. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Hand me the reader."The restaurant manager walked over. Christian gripped his card tightly, which made his reluctance to pay obvious. However, he decided it was fine. He would just have his father give him more money later."I'm sorry, sir, but this card isn't worki
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 527 On with the Humiliation
Even when the York family’s bodyguards weren't publicly assigned to their employers, they would still discreetly send experienced men for protection.Before Christian's friends could unleash a torrent of insults, Timmy was already on the floor. Confused, the group of students hesitated before erupting into chaos.Oliver was annoyed and was about to tell them to leave when a cold, deep voice said slowly, "Tell them to come in."The bodyguards stood to the side, and the students finally saw Landon's face in its entirety. He had extremely exquisite features, and he stood lean and tall. His eyes were as dark as the night as he sat on a mahogany chair. He was only wearing a shirt and slacks, but he fit right in with the opulence of this restaurant.He looked as majestic as a king in ancient times, and his gaze alone was full of meaning. His bright red rosary bracelet was especially eye-catching—it seemed to distance him from modern times. He remained striking even in comparison with the
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 528 He's the Head of the York Family
"That was in the past, and I'm not proud of it, so don't mention it." Aria tapped on Landon's wrist. "He's talking to you, so show some respect."What Aria wanted was simple—for Christian to be dismissed as soon as possible. Christian was so ugly that it ruined her mood.Landon complied. He looked up lazily. "I don't know what will happen to me if I antagonize your family, but I know what's going to happen to your family.""Now that's funny! You're just a pretty boy Aria is providing for, and yet you dare boast so arrogantly in front of us!" a young man shouted.Lily no longer thought much about Landon. So what if he was pretty? Could looks be exchanged for money?Her opinion toward him had soured also because he'd embarrassed her in that manner. Aria laughed when she heard those words. "Pretty boy, huh? You're not wrong. You'll probably have to pay 100,000 dollars for him if he were to work in a nightclub. Or maybe double that—it'd still be worth it."Landon wouldn't just let
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 529 The Short Family is Busted
Upon seeing who called, Christian complained, "You must help me out here, Dad. Someone's looking down on our family—"Before Christian could finish his sentence, Norman roared, "Where are you?"Christian's hands started to shake. "Dad—""Don't call me that! Answer my question! Where are you?" Norman was going mad.Christian realized that something had gone wrong. "I-I'm at this place serving baked seafood—""Bastard!" Norman clutched at his chest. "Why did I give birth to you when you do nothing but give me trouble? All thanks to you, our family is done for!"Norman's voice was so loud that Christian's friends heard him. "Who did you cross? Tell me, you useless good-for-nothing!"Norman suddenly received countless calls on his phone. The family's business dealings in the gray area were under investigation. Everything had happened within minutes, and Norman hadn't even had time to enlist someone else's services. The authorities had directly issued an order suspending the family
