The President's Darling Chapter 479
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

The competition venue was beginning to resemble more of a dance competition.As Summer watched, a man's calm voice rang out, "It looks like tonight's event is undergoing a major transformation, just as James predicted."Summer turned to find that the speaker was Zach!"Zach? Aren't you supposed to be staying in the judging area?" Summer asked in surprise. Zach was one of the four heirs. He should be in the judging area waiting for the participants to bring their cocktails over.Zach replied, "The competition has just started. No participants could prepare their cocktails so fast, so I came to take a look."It was boring to stay in the judging area. Besides, James, Bradly, and the others were busy with their tasks. No one was waiting at the judging area, so Zach decided to take a look around.Seeing that he had left the judging area, Summer secretly asked him a question. She asked, "Since the judging this time will be done by you four heirs, wouldn't it be easy to cheat?"Zach co

Summer then suggested a new possibility, "If I can score eight points, does that mean others can't score eight points?"Currently, there must be several participants who had more points than Summer. There might be participants having 26 or 27 points. Those strong competitors definitely knew how to make cocktails. Thus, even if Summer could obtain a high score of eight points, others would also likely score high. Therefore, it was still impossible for Summer to become the champion.In fact, Zach was aware of this possibility. He grew solemn and said, "If in the next competition, three out of the four heirs give everyone else zero points, do you think you can win?"Summer was left speechless. Could it be that James and the other heirs planned to give everyone else zero points but her? That would clearly be cheating. If they did so, this wine-tasting party would become a laughingstock for others to look down upon the four prestigious families."No, you can't do that," Summer immedia

But Zach wouldn't expose his buddy's whereabouts. Instead, he advised, "Why not listen to James? Work hard to be the champion this round. Otherwise, our efforts will be in vain.""Zach, you're the most rational and mature person among them. Don't you understand the seriousness of the consequences?"In fact, he knew very well what could happen. He put on a stern look with sweat beading on his forehead. He was very worried when making this decision. But emotionally, he felt it was the right decision to make."Now, including myself, the three heirs all hope you can be the champion. Summer, please don't refuse anymore. You don't have to worry too much about the consequences. We will definitely bear them together."Summer felt it was pointless to argue with Zach. It was as if he had been brainwashed by James, intending to help her cheat during the judging phase.Summer didn't need this kind of unexpected reward. She was the type of person who worked hard for her achievements. She didn'

However, one thing to note was that no one was a fool in this competition. Even if they couldn't find evidence to prove that the three heirs had intentionally helped Summer, everyone knew deep down that Summer must have privately made a deal with the three heirs.Summer shook her head repeatedly and said, "I won't allow this! Why are you so eager for me to be the champion? You're only harming yourself by doing this."James remained silent. His bright eyes reflected a glimmer of crystal light, while his long eyelashes made his eyes appear sharp and cold."What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" Summer asked anxiously, seeing him standing like an ice sculpture. "Hey, answer me. Why do you want me to be champion so badly? Aren't you worried about harming yourself?""I'm not afraid. Besides, if you win the championship, you'll adapt more easily to the living environment here," James replied.Summer understood what he meant. The so-called "living environment" he meant was the environmen

The warm white light filled the room with brilliance. Summer couldn't understand why James suddenly brought her here. She was about to compete. Why did he bring her to this place?"James, what are you trying to do?" she asked."I want…" James trailed off as he suddenly cupped Summer's face with one hand, brushing his fingers against her lips.Summer was startled by the sudden gesture. Her body tensed up. She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.She moved a little, trying to shift away from James."What are you trying to do?" Although the words came out of her mouth, Summer could already guess what was about to happen.A man and a woman alone in a room with a large bed. It was obvious to anyone what was likely to occur.Summer crossed her arms over her chest, projecting an image of righteousness and fearlessness. In truth, she had overanalyzed the situation. James gently took her hands and guided her to the table. He said, "I'm going to teach you how to mix drink
