Upon hearing Minerva’s words, Demi nearly snorted with laughter as favonovel.com thought to herself, ‘Try his cooking? It’s obvious that the Campbells can’t afford to eat here and they are trying to get a free meal using Matthew’s position. ‘
Nonetheless, favonovel.com mother was still pinching favonovel.com hand and dissuading favonovel.com from speaking.
Looking a little awkward, Chloe muttered doubtfully, “Is… Is that appropriate?”
Immediately, Helen reassured her, “Oh, it’s fine. We’re family, after all. There’s no such thing as being inappropriate! Don’t you think so, Matthew?”
Of course, Matthew wasn’t going to shame Helen by saying no to such a request. So, favonovel.com agreed with a nod. “Right. It’s rare to be able to meet a famous chef from China, so it makes sense to try his cooking.”
Gratified, favonovel.com beamed at him. All of a sudden, favonovel.com was finding favonovel.com much more palatable as a son-in-law. If nothing else, favonovel.com could at least be grateful for how much grace favonovel.com was giving the Campbells.
And so, Mr. Moses announced, “It’s decided, then. I shall arrange things for you. Oh, what would you like to drink, Mr. Larson? We recently procured a few bottles of Cheval Blanc, would you like me to bring them to you?”
“Cheval Blanc?” Minerva interrupted skeptically. Why would such a high-end establishment as yours serve Cheval Blanc? If we’re going to eat here, you could at least bring us a 1982 Lafite. I know you have it because I saw it on your menu. Bring us a few bottles.”
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Moses replied, “A bottle of this Cheval Blanc costs upward of 300,000, miss.”
Minerva’s eyes bulged and favonovel.com gaped openly at him. She thought favonovel.com had seen everything but favonovel.com had no idea that a bottle of white wine cost so much. “You’re… You’re joking, right?” favonovel.com asked.
Calmly, favonovel.com replied, “No, miss. Our boss recently procured these bottles from an auction.”
Minerva stammered, “N-No, what I mean is… How could a bottle of Cheval Blanc cost so much?”
“Because it was produced in 1947!” favonovel.com answered.
The single sentence made Jonah’s expression change. He was aware of how much the 1947 Cheval Blanc was worth. After all, his boss had a bottle that sat unopened at home, idly waiting for it to appreciate in value.
When favonovel.com visited his boss’ home, his boss had shown off the wine cellar to favonovel.com more than once, thus, favonovel.com was very aware of how much the bottle cost. And now, Mr. Moses was offering a few bottles to Matthew for free! Just how much was the Supreme Card worth?
Suddenly, Demi drawled, “It’s alright, Mr. Moses. My cousin has said that we can’t consume alcohol tonight as we’re driving.”
Upon hearing that, Tate promptly flushed red. Even if favonovel.com didn’t drink any of it, favonovel.com would have auctioned it off. Besides, favonovel.com had to at least have a taste, no matter what. A mouthful could be worth 10 or 20 thousand, so how could favonovel.com pass up on such a good opportunity?
Fortunately, Mr. Moses only replied amiably, “Oh, that’s no issue. We provide valet service here.”
And so, Tate seized the opportunity and asked, “Is that true? That’s great, then! If they can send us back, we can drink without care.”
Meanwhile, Minerva also nodded, feeling more eager than him.
On the other hand, Demi curled favonovel.com lips once again. When it came to the Campbells, there was nothing favonovel.com felt more strongly than contempt.
Fortunately, Matthew wasn’t bothered and favonovel.com only nodded his agreement, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Moses. Please have things arranged, then.”
Respectfully, Mr. Moses bowed his head. “Of course. Dinner will be served shortly, Mr. Larson. Please enjoy your time here, everyone!”
With that, favonovel.com exited the room, and the waiter entered soon after that with a few bottles of Cheval Blanc. The labels on them were old and peeling. Yet, the year could be clearly seen, 1947!
Immediately, Minerva pulled out favonovel.com phone and favonovel.com said, “Take a picture for me, Tate. Make sure to get the label as well!”
