At this moment, James appeared quite incongruous. Although he had a stern and cold expression, his eyes were clear and bright. Coupled with his elegant posture, he possessed a captivating charm that could touch people's souls.Summer stood in a daze. It was as if her soul had momentarily left her body. After a long while, she finally reacted, shaking her head. She had almost been enchanted by the handsome man before her."Hey, James. Didn't you say you want to teach me how to make this cocktail?" she asked."Yes. If you can memorize the technique, you can easily make this cocktail," James replied.As long as one followed the cocktail mixing steps carefully and didn't mix them up, there wouldn't be any problem. Even someone who had never mixed drinks before could create a wonderful cocktail.James had gone to great lengths to ensure Summer's success.Summer naturally understood his intentions. She held the shaker in her hand and said seriously, "Tell me what to do now. How should

As Summer left the room, she made sure to thank James."If it weren't for your help, I might have lost in this competition. So, thank you," Summer expressed gratefully."You're my wife. Helping you is something I should do, right?" James replied. Although he appeared cold, his words were warm. Perhaps he only treated her that way.However, Summer still had one thing that she didn't understand. She asked, "Why do we need to add salt when mixing a Margarita?"In fact, she had been pondering over this question. To her, adding salt to a cocktail didn't seem to enhance its flavor. Why was it necessary?Actually, adding salt was indeed necessary. James grew serious as he explained thoughtfully, "Salt represents tears. The tears shed by the creator of this Margarita.""Tears?" Summer questioned."The Margarita was created by someone who longed for his loved one. The salt represents tears. His tears of longing and regret." Gradually, Summer seemed to understand the meaning behind the

Summer ignored Bradly. She proceeded to serve her cocktail, pouring it into the four glasses accordingly. Then, she said, "Gentlemen, please enjoy."Bradly was the first to taste the cocktail. Before even taking a sip, he began applauding enthusiastically. He exclaimed, "Amazing. This is an excellent cocktail!"Summer rolled her eyes. He hadn't even tasted it, but he kept complimenting the taste as if he was afraid others wouldn't know he was supporting her.At this moment, the guests came closer to observe. They exchanged glances and discussed among themselves. It seemed they were all focused on Summer's identity and what score she might achieve.The judging area was very quiet. The heirs didn't even make a sound, except for the talkative Bradly.After tasting the cocktail, Bradly expressed his opinion, "This cocktail is exceptional. This is a Margarita, right? It is even better than the ones made by professional bartenders outside. It seems that you've been working hard on your

Furthermore, some people were guessing that Keith would also give Summer two points. This meant that Summer would be the only one in this competition to receive a perfect score of eight points.In the previous cocktail mixing competition, the highest score was six points. No one had achieved a perfect score of eight points so far.Summer also sensed the shifting atmosphere in the venue. Although she had already been mentally prepared for potential scrutiny and accusations of cheating, facing the storm of discussions was still overwhelming for her.Of course, not everyone was accusing Summer of cheating. There were some people who supported her. They believed that she genuinely worked hard to earn her high score of six points.Ultimately, it all boiled down to the most important factor, which was Keith's judgment. Many people were focused on Keith now, especially those individuals who were familiar with the dynamics of the four prestigious families. Although the Ritter family and

Despite James' promise to ensure fairness in the competition, the reality remained uncertain. There was no telling whether he would intentionally manipulate scores to favor Summer. As Summer glanced over at James, his expression remained cold and emotionless, akin to ice. There was no discernible hint of any emotional fluctuation on his face. The same stoic demeanor was mirrored by Zach, who stood there as rigid as a statue. In contrast, Bradly appeared visibly flustered. He frantically gestured with his arms to silence the guests. The atmosphere within the venue had descended into chaos, with accusations flying left and right as people questioned whether James and the other two heirs had manipulated scores. Some bold male guests even defied the security line, attempting to confront them directly. The turmoil exceeded everyone's expectations. Seated at the judges' table, Keith remained unaffected by the commotion swirling around him. Holding the glass in his hand, he ca

Upon seeing the young man, York immediately recognized him as Simon Lawson, who held a prominent position as a member of the Lawson family.In fact, every attendee at this wine-tasting party carried significant weight. Despite holding a prestigious position, York approached the protesting guests cautiously. "Ladies and gentlemen, given the unanimous high scores from the four heirs, it's reasonable to assume there's something exceptional about Mrs. Quigley's cocktail. "If you're skeptical, why not send someone to sample it?" York suggested. Upon hearing this, Summer felt a surge of anxiety. If her cocktail didn't meet their taste, would it suggest the four heirs were covertly assisting her? Such an exposure would be disastrous. Summer cast a quick glance at James, silently wishing for his intervention. Nevertheless, he remained seated, appearing unaware of the situation. Similarly, Zach showed no emotion as he also remained motionless. Conversely, Bradly offered a few warm

"Wait a minute," came a sharp voice, akin to the sound of a stone scraping against glass. Subsequently, everyone's attention shifted to the woman wearing a dress. "Caroline..." Summer murmured at the sight of her. Caroline's face was etched with anger as she made her way toward the judges' area in her high heels. "The judges for the wine-tasting party are the four heirs, correct? Mr. Lawson, I'm afraid your eagerness to taste the cocktail doesn't align with the rules," Caroline intervened. She was reluctant to let Simon taste the cocktail. The perceptive individuals in the audience could understand Caroline's motives. She feared that Simon might expose the "insider dealing". Observing the events unfolding in the judges' area from the sidelines, Caroline refused to believe that Summer could attain such a high score without James' assistance. In her mind, it must have been James who had somehow aided Summer in achieving that score. As the head of the Quigley family, any

James unexpectedly spoke up, catching the attention of everyone in the room, including Caroline. In the silent exchange between Caroline and James, Caroline detected confidence in James' gaze. She knew James wouldn't speak without certainty. If he suggested allowing Simon to taste the cocktail, then it seemed there was no "insider dealing" involvement in the competition. With a wave of her hand, Caroline feigned helplessness. "Mr. Lawson, since my son insists, I'd have to trouble you to clear the doubt," she said. Simon respectfully returned her gesture, assuring her it was no trouble. Stepping forward, he approached the judges' table to taste the cocktail. Despite his courteous demeanor, Simon harbored deep resentment within. He was convinced that the four major prestigious families had abused their power. Hence, if he found the cocktail to be anything less than exceptional, he vowed to reveal its mediocrity to everyone. Standing before the four heirs, Simon raised his
