That was also to say that if the red wine series was chosen, then the name of the wine could definitely be guessed from these five brands.Yola continued, "Regarding the wine vintage, it's mostly below 50 years. Wines over 50 years old are relatively rare. I heard from Zach that the wine-tasting event hosted by the four major families this time didn't manage to acquire enough high vintage wines from Eurania in time, so it's mostly low vintage red wines in the competition venue."Yola was providing Summer with answers based on probability calculations. In other words, if red wine was specifically chosen for tasting next, it would be easy to guess the name and vintage of the wine.Summer, being only a half-hearted wine taster, was still unclear about vintages, so she asked again, "How should wines below 50 years old be judged?""It's simple—look at the richness of the wine."Yola took a glass of wine from the reception table and then drank the wine. Red wine residue appeared in ring

After a moment of silence, Zach said, "If something's bothering you, don't hesitate to reach out. Bradly and I are here to lend a hand."Zach's words stemmed from genuine concern for James, as he knew his friend inside out. He understood that James was the type to bear his burdens silently, enduring any hardship without complaint. Even if his body was pierced with thorns, he wouldn't utter a sound of pain.Being strong was good, but as a friend, Zach hoped to share James' difficulties.This level of genuine friendship was rare among the four major prestigious families, where conspiracies and deception were common. However, the bond shared by James, Zach, and Bradly went beyond mere superficiality. It was a solid friendship grounded in trust and loyalty, unaffected by the intrigues that often characterized their social circles.James knew that Zach cared about him and nodded slightly, saying, "I know.""You better…" Zach said that, but for some reason, he felt a sense of unease i

"I know." Yolanda was full of smiles. She knew the results of the competition as soon as Summer finished. Now that the competition was over, Yolanda couldn't help but tease, "Summie, everyone's talking about you. You're now a hot topic.""Hot topic?""Yes, everyone is saying that you'll make the top three."Upon hearing this, Summer felt awkward, and her face couldn't help but twitch. It would be nice if she could make it into the top three, but it was simply impossible.Those people believed that Summer could get into the top three because they saw her good performance in the second area of the competition. However, if they knew that she had only scored five points in the first area, they probably wouldn't think that way.Taking into account the scores from the first area, Summer currently had 13 points. According to the previous year, one needed at least 25 points to enter the top three. Even if Summer scored 10 points in the third area, it was not possible for her to make it to

Before the competition in the third area, Yolanda still tried her best to give some tips for the wine-tasting party. For example, the base liquor of a cocktail was usually mixed with whiskey, brandy, tequila, and so on. They might vary but would remain in this range. If the cocktails used in the competition were not too obscure, they could generally be guessed.Although it was a temporary method, Summer and Susanne kept it in mind. No one knew whether these seemingly minor tips would come in handy.The cocktail-tasting competition in the third area was a little different from the previous two. In this area, the competition was conducted on a 100-foot-long blue glass counter, with a bartender stationed every 16 feet. The whole scene looked spectacular.The most dazzling part was the scene of the bartenders mixing cocktails. It was like an acrobatics performance. The cocktail shakers swayed in their hands and moved in the air, sparkling upon the reflection of the shimmering light. T

Summer pretended not to see Howe and directly went to the counter to participate in the competition. But Howe shouted behind her, "Summer, don't be so heartless. We're relatives, after all. At least say hi to me."Say hi to him? Summer didn't have the time. Plus, she was too stressed thinking about how to get a high score in the third level. She didn't have time to humor Howe.Continuing to pretend that she didn't see him, Summer didn't speak to him at all. But he seemed a bit persistent, sticking to her like a leech. "Summer, how many points do you have now? Do you want to see how many points I have?"As if showing off his spoils of victory, Howe proudly took out his scorecard, which had nearly 20 points. It was clear that Howe was very skilled in alcohol tasting.Summer felt off-balanced inwardly. After all, they had both been taught by Flynn and even joined the competition together. Of course, she wasn't happy about losing to him.Because of her dissatisfaction, Summer wanted t

The bartender was at a loss because he couldn't really ask the two bodyguards to escort Howe out. The bodyguards were just for show, meant to intimidate the ordinary aristocrats. In the face of a truly noble person, they were useless.It was at this moment that Susanne stepped in. She had just returned from somewhere else and was surprised to see Howe standing there. In a curious tone, she asked, "Howe, is that you? Why are you here?"Hearing Susanne's voice, Howe was startled. If there was anyone in the world he feared most, it would be his cousin, Susanne, especially now that she had leverage on him."Susanne, hi…" Howe greeted timidly."Yeah, hi. What are you doing here, Howe? It looks to me like you're getting in the way of Summer's competition. That's not very nice…""What are you talking about? I'm not getting in anyone's way," Howe answered with an awkward smile as he cautiously moved away.Seeing that he wanted to leave, Susanne made way for him, saying, "It seems that yo

As soon as he mentioned it, Summer indeed felt it. After drinking it, there was a tingling sensation, much like drinking cola."It's soda water!" Summer exclaimed. In cocktail mixing, soda water was a commonly used additive. Summer immediately made the connection and blurted out the answer.The bartender seemed quite pleased with this response. With a smile, he took out a golden scorecard from his vest pocket. "Congratulations, miss. You have passed this round."Holding the golden scorecard, Summer was ecstatic. She couldn't believe that she had actually listed out all the ingredients in the cocktail. When Flynn tutored her, Summer struggled to identify the ingredients during the cocktail tasting test. Therefore, Flynn advised her to concentrate on the challenges in the first and second levels of the competition, as he believed she wouldn't score well in the third.However, to her surprise, Summer succeeded in obtaining a scorecard on her first attempt. It was truly exciting.

Summer was baffled by why there were people helping her. Was it because she was pretty, and they just couldn't help but give her a hand? That certainly didn't seem likely. She soon realized that someone was indeed helping her. And that someone was sitting on a couch on the second floor of the event hall.Graceful in posture, with clear and bright eyes, James sat there, monitoring the situation in the lobby downstairs through his phone.Next to James was a middle-aged man in a blue uniform. He was around 40 years old. "Mr. Quigley, as per your orders, all the party staff have been bribed by us.""The Supervisory Committee members haven't noticed, have they?""Don't worry, Mr. Quigley. We've handled the matter discreetly. It definitely won't be discovered. Even if it is, you and Mrs. Quigley won't be implicated."James was satisfied with this and waved his hand, indicating for the middle-aged man to leave.The reason why people were helping Summer in the competition was because
