The Wrong Woman

"Yeah. I had this wine stored here from a client event because we didn't finish it," Jasper said. Then, he picked up the wine in front of him. He glanced at it and set it down again. He continued, "I'm not used to this kind of wine."

Devin sneered as he mocked, "You're not used to a wine that's worth 20 thousand? You must have had too much cider, right?"

He thought Jasper was bluffing, so he was awaiting his downfall. Meanwhile, others were also snickering quietly. Just then, the hotel manager appeared, pushing a cart with a bottle of wine. With everyone's attention fixed on him, the manager carefully presented the bottle to Jasper.

The manager asked, "Mr. Asher, shall I open it?" Jasper nodded.

The manager expertly opened the bottle, creating a sense of ceremony. Everyone in the room was taken aback, staring wide-eyed at the bottle in the manager's hands. Imogen didn't drink alcohol and was unfamiliar with wine, so she didn't know its price. The only thing she knew was that the reaction of these people was too exaggerated. Imogen looked at the wine, leaned close to Jasper, and asked quietly, "How much is this wine?"

Jasper replied, "It's not expensive at all, but you can't buy it even if you have money, which is why they're so shocked."

Oh... Imogen believed him without question. The manager poured a small amount of wine into a glass and handed it to Jasper. Jasper took it and passed it to Imogen. Imogen quickly pushed it back. She said, "I don't drink."

asked the others, "Anyone who wants a drink, just let the manager know, and he'll pour you a glass." Eyeing the 70 thousand bottle of wine, Devin lost his confidence. He gulped and pursed his lips.
