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

Just as Summer was brimming with joy, the stage in the center of the wine-tasting party suddenly lit up with dazzling brilliance.Standing in the center of the stage was a man in an old-fashioned suit. Holding a microphone, he spoke in a rough and deep voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am York Ritter from the Committee of Prestigious Families. I have an announcement to make."The lively scene, which was filled with music and chatter, immediately quieted down. Everyone turned their attention to the stage to see what York was going to announce.Susanne knew Summer didn't recognize York, so she explained, "York is Keith's dad. He's one of the chairmen of the Committee of Prestigious Families."The Committee of Prestigious Families was a unique organization tasked with overseeing the affairs of the four major prestigious families. This committee was responsible for organizing the wine-tasting party. It comprised four chairmen, each representing one of the elder members from their respect

Someone from the audience asked, "Mr. Ritter, who will serve as the judges for this competition?""Yeah, it's an important competition. It can't be judged by someone without qualifications."In response to the guests' inquiries, York laughed and replied, "The judges for this competition will be the four heirs of the major prestigious families, all of whom are from the younger generation. I believe everyone should have no objection to this, right?"The fact that the heirs of the four major prestigious families would serve as judges elevated the crowd's excitement to a new level. It was difficult to meet the heirs under normal circumstances, but now they were the judges for the wine-tasting competition, which naturally pleased the aristocrats.Many people were now thinking that they could perhaps seize this opportunity to connect with the heirs of the prestigious families. That would be truly fortunate.Amidst the lively atmosphere, Summer appeared solemn in the corner of the lobby,

Susanne retorted, "So what if you cheat? You're his wife. Isn't it normal for them to give you a high score?"Helping one's own family was a natural thing to do. Susanne didn't think it was unreasonable. Besides, if James failed to give a high mark during the competition, Susanne would definitely hold him accountable later and pester him relentlessly.While Susanne and Summer were discussing, the additional competition had already begun.In the main hall of the evening party, the glass counters in the first, second, and third areas were cleared out. Waiters spent 20 minutes rebuilding the stage, transforming it into a glamorous and modern display area.The display area was made of sturdy black plastic boards with graffiti-style paintings, giving it a street vibe. Colorful neon lights illuminated the area, creating a festive atmosphere.Inside the boards was a large, specialized space containing nearly a hundred glass counters. These counters were stocked with professional mixing t
