Chapter 451

Summer felt that she asked too many questions. After all, this was classified information from Quigley Group. Even the upper management of the company didn't have access to it. Since she married into the family, what right would she have to find out about that knowledge?Just as she prepared to give up, James told her, "It's Ritter Corporation.""Ritter Corporation?" Summer paused, recalling something. That company was managed by the Ritter family, which was a part of the four major prestigious families. The current president was Keith. That was weird. Wasn't Keith good friends with James? Why would he sabotage James? Summer realized that something was amiss. However, since James wasn't in a good mood, she didn't dare to probe further. Meanwhile, James was very observant, and could easily discern others' thoughts. So, he seemed to know what Summer wanted to ask. "I have a long history with Keith. I'll tell you more about it in the future."After hearing that, Summer surmised t

Summer gleaned valuable lessons from her interactions with James. She understood the importance of exercising caution in one's actions, particularly in business dealings. James' reluctance to place full trust in anyone likely contributed to the rapid progress of the Quigley Group under his leadership. Suddenly, another concern crossed her mind. How would James manage to overcome the other companies targeting him by the following day?According to him, other companies were ganging up to target Quigley Group. Wouldn't it be impossible for James to resolve the problem within a day since so many real estate agents had teamed up against the company?Charter Corporation specialized in property sales. Since Summer was the successor of that company, she was very concerned. So, she asked, "James, how do you intend to resolve the crisis tomorrow?"Summer felt somewhat guilty after posing James that question. She didn't think she should have asked him about that. Keeping Quigley Group'

So, the group of real estate companies would surely agree to James' offer. After all, no one would pass up the chance to make more money.Summer nodded. James' approach was unique. While others aimed to defeat their rivals, he sought collaboration to succeed. If it was a win-win situation, there wouldn't be any competition, and the company would earn more profits.But there was a problem. Wasn't Ritter Corporation behind this?Summer asked, "Ritter Corporation won't let you collaborate with the other real estate companies, right?""Yes, but they can't stop me." Ritter Corporation encouraged collaboration among real estate companies without using force. To avoid arousing suspicion from the Quigley Group, they kept themselves out of the collaboration. If Quigley Group publicly declared their investment in the trading center construction, Ritter Corporation wouldn't dare to go against them. "Ritter Corporation is working on many projects with Quigley Group. They won't publicly c

Assisted by numerous professional stylists, Summer adorned herself splendidly. Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she marveled at her elegant and stunning appearance.She wore a sleek black dress with a trailing back, accentuating her figure flawlessly. Her long hair cascaded smoothly, adding to her allure. Adorned with extravagant accessories and a pair of black and white crystal shoes, she exuded elegance and grandeur, effortlessly standing out from the crowd.However, as she spun around, Summer couldn't ignore the dress's cumbersome weight. Laden with jewelry, it proved difficult to move comfortably in the tight attire. She felt constrained, reminiscent of a lady from bygone eras navigating with cautious steps, fearful of any vigorous movement that might lead to a wardrobe malfunction.Summer felt out of place in such luxurious attire. While suitable for the wine-tasting party, wearing such garments elsewhere would only invite embarrassment. This predicament puzzled her.

Howe's blunt and unsympathetic remark cut through the air. "Mom, I think you'll be disappointed. Summer doesn't seem confident. How could she possibly get a good ranking?"However, that was the truth. Even Summer doubted her ability to achieve a good ranking.Caroline sneered. "If she doesn't get a good ranking, I'll teach her a lesson."Summer shrank back, unnerved by her mother-in-law's harsh words. This interaction felt torturous, especially with Howe's cold stare from the staircase, his subtle smirk resembling that of a waiting predator.Despite not knowing the extent of Howe's intentions, Summer sensed danger. He might cause trouble for her at the wine-tasting party, adding to her apprehension about achieving a good ranking.Later that evening, Summer arrived at the wine-tasting party, stepping onto the red carpet toward the imposing wooden doors.As she approached, Summer took in the scene—yellow safety borders flanking the carpet, media reporters capturing every moment wit

Things seemed more complicated now. Summer had wanted to greet her idol earlier. But if she had to adhere to James' instructions, wouldn't she need to be cautious with every move to avoid embarrassing the Quigleys? James, ever observant, detected Summer's discontent with just a glance. "Were you planning to talk to Hendery just now?" Hendery Waters was someone Summer greatly admired. Despite being middle-aged, he remained handsome and boasted numerous achievements in film and music. She nodded in response. "Yes, I wanted to speak with Hendery. I've seen him on TV before. It's rare to have the chance to meet him in person.""Once the party ends, I'll arrange for you to meet him, so don't worry. You should focus on the competition. Mom is waiting for you in the hall.""Alright!" Summer eagerly agreed, filled with anticipation at the prospect of meeting her idol after the party.Reflecting on James' ability to arrange such a meeting, Summer realized his considerable influence.

That day marked a rare wine-tasting event in Rosseera City, drawing Susanne from her northern abode to attend. Summer found solace in Susanne's presence amidst the sea of unfamiliar faces, knowing she couldn't rely on anyone but James in such gatherings.James, displaying tact, excused himself after their little reunion, allowing Susanne and Summer to converse freely. They linked arms and settled onto a Meuropean-style couch."It's been too long, Summer. How have things been at home?" Despite her desire for a better life, Summer admitted to ongoing struggles. "Nothing's changed since you left. My inability to conceive has only fueled my mother-in-law's resentment toward me. I was forced to attend this wine-tasting party.""I had a feeling you weren't here by choice," Susanne remarked somberly. "This event may seem trivial, but it holds significant implications."Summer was inclined to think that Susanne knew something that she didn't. While aware of the party's importance, s

The wine-tasting competition also had an additional rule—previous winners were ineligible to compete again. James had won the competition eight years ago, so he was ineligible to participate. Summer couldn't help but wonder what James had wished for after winning the competition. Susanne didn't know what James' wish was as well. "I don't think James has used his wish yet. The wishes are granted by respected seniors from the four major prestigious families. Once granted, the wish becomes public knowledge. But since James' wish hasn't been disclosed, it's likely he hasn't used it."Summer silently nodded in understanding. Considering James' stature and accomplishments, it made sense that he hadn't found a need to use his wish.Contemplating her own potential wish, Summer envisioned a life outside the Quigley family's constraints. Perhaps she could secure funding for the Charter family's ventures. However, she doubted her chances of winning.In the wine-tasting competition, there w

In the first level, participants had to identify expensive wines based on their categories. Meanwhile, the second level required tasting wines and identifying their names and vintage years. The final and most challenging level involved identifying the main ingredients in a cocktail, including base liquors, auxiliary ingredients, and food additives.Summer, having been briefed on the competition's three levels by Flynn, arrived at the first level after registering for the event and receiving her number.Inside the hall, three sections were delineated by yellow tape, with participants' identities verified by their name badges. Spectators not partaking in the competition were allowed to watch from the sidelines.The competition, lasting four hours, offered flexibility in sequence. Participants could tackle levels in any order, earning points upon completion. The more points a participant earned, the higher their ranking would be.In the first level, participants had to identify the

Based on Flynn's advice about the complexity of making Pinot Noir and its fermentation process with special ingredients to enhance flavor, Summer confidently selected it as the priciest option.With a mix of nerves and uncertainty, she handed the glass to the waiter, keeping her head down, unsure of the outcome.The waiter, maintaining a composed and expressionless demeanor, skillfully accepted the glass from Summer. He then calmly confirmed her choice, declaring, "Congratulations. This Pinot Noir is indeed the most expensive wine among these ten glasses. You have succeeded.""What?" Summer was taken aback by her success, ecstatic at her stroke of luck.After pausing for a while, she exclaimed, "That's great! I've succeeded!"However, her celebration drew curious glances from the elite attendees, who viewed her jubilation with skepticism.Susanne, noticing the commotion, approached and questioned Summer, "What are you doing?""Susanne, I've done it! Haha, I found the most expens
