Chapter 261 Vengeance On Scumbags 3

Just from appearances, the red wines in the ten decanters did not look much different from each other.

Under the light of the crystal chandelier, they all looked pretty similar in color.

As soon as Hector finished his introduction, several of the socialites with half-baked knowledge of wine had the urge to back out.

They had thought that it would just be a casual game, and never expected Susan to take it so seriously.

Now that their families had gathered to watch, they felt caught in between a rock and a hard place. They did not have much choice but to do their best to get through it and hope that they made it to the second or third round at the very least.

Natalie swept her gaze over the ladies, who were looking rather out of place, and sighed inwardly. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Phoebe and Susan deliberately dug a hole for me, and there was nothing I could do to avoid falling into it. But these ladies jumped in without knowing what they were really getting themselves into.

As she thought about how the prize for the winner was the chance to dance the opening dance with Samuel, she could not help but roll her eyes.

What’s that saying again? Men are nothing but trouble? Well, I’ve truly experienced it today. I can’t believe how many ladies are willing to go through with this just for the chance to be Samuel’s partner for the opening dance. If it were a chance to spend the night with him, they’d probably even be willing to go through hell and high water.

Meanwhile, Susan and Phoebe were feeling relaxed and confident.

It may be something that runs in our blood, but every generation of the Leister family loves wine. All of us would run around the winery and plan when we were kids, so we grew up surrounded by the aromas of wine. There’s nothing we know better than wine. We even asked Hector to set the rules to show that it’s a fair game and that we’re not cheating.

Although each of them secretly hoped that they would be the one to win and get the chance to dance with Samuel during the opening dance, they were united by a common goal—to humiliate Natalie in front of everyone and put her in her place.

An ugly orphan like her doesn’t deserve Samuel. In fact, she isn’t even worthy to stand among the Leister family at a banquet like this.

Soon, the game began.

The waiters tied a strip of red silk over each of the seven ladies’ eyes, blindfolding them to heighten their sense of smell.

Then, the waiters poured out the first wine from its decanter into seven glasses and let the ladies sniff it. Once they had gotten a good sniff, they were to write down their answers.

The first bottle of wine was a 1983 Lafite, which was not too difficult to identify. Although some of them took longer than others to write their answer, all of them got it right.

Phoebe and Susan were slightly surprised that Natalie had answered correctly, but they were not too perturbed yet. It’s just the first round. According to Hector’s rules, the difficulty level will gradually increase with each round.

However, things took a turn over the next three rounds.

One of the ladies had the wrong type of wine for the third bottle, while another put down the wrong vintage for the fourth wine.

Meanwhile, Natalie was still going strong, having answered all of them correctly.

The blindfolds prevented Susan and Phoebe from observing the crowd’s reaction, but even so, they felt their dismay increasing. The first guess may have just been luck, but what about the others? Don’t tell me she really does know a thing or two about wines.

However, they dismissed that thought just as quickly as it popped up in their mind, suppressing the worry in their hearts.

So what if she does? The other wines will be much harder to guess. She may be better at this than the other ladies, but there’s no way she can beat us! Hmph! Just wait and see!

Susan and Phoebe were oblivious to how the game was panning out due to their blindfolds, but those who watched the game closely had a good grasp of each of the seven ladies’ capabilities.
