Chapter 301
After that, Pearl made her way to the table with the wine glasses.
“Are you going to take the challenge, Miss?”
Pearl nodded. “Let’s get started.”
She proceeded to identify each wine with ease, sipping from each glass. When she reached the final glass, Pearl took a sip and declared without hesitation, “Billionaire Vodka.”
“I’m sorry, Miss, but you’ve got it wrong on this last one.”
Blake’s eyes were downcast upon hearing that Pearl was wrong.
Smiling, Pearl shook her head. “No, I’m not wrong.”
“Are you doubting my expertise, Miss? I’m an internationally renowned wine taster hired by Mister Johnson. I can’t be mistaken,” the man replied, somewhat displeased.
Onlookers who were in the know chuckled at the sight of Pearl challenging the authority of the wine taster
“Look at this country bumpkin questioning the wine taster.”
“What an ungrateful little sh*t! She’s privileged to be at this event, yet she’s so shameless.”
“Someone should escort her out! She’s ruining the atmosphere.”
Pearl was confused when the man claimed he was internationally renowned. She sized him up and asked, “How famous are you? Why haven’t I heard of your name before?”
Her questions cast a shadow on the wine taster’s confidence. He replied somberly, “Please don’t humiliate me out of anger, Miss. Thank you.”
“Why don’t you taste it yourself and confirm if it’s Billionaire Vodka or not?” Pearl suggested calmly.
After taking a sip, the wine taster’s expression changed dramatically.
“Billionaire Vodka, by Leos Verres, is a luxury product. Each bottle contains 5 liters of pure vodka crafted from premium wheat through 5 distillations, following a traditional method. from a country called Truyya. It is initially ice-filtered, then filtered through Nordic birch. charcoal, and finally, it passes through sand made from crushed diamonds and gems. Its opulent packaging features white feathers and is adorned with 3,000 brilliant diamonds, painstakingly crafted by artisans. That’s why every bottle of Billionaire Vodka is considered a work of art.”
After her explanation, Pearl regarded the wine taster and smiled nonchalantly. “You can’t possibly be unaware of this as a wine taster, can you?”
Blushing, the man stammered, “I… Yes, I do.”
However, Pearl had no intention of letting him off the hook and continued her questioning.” Then why did you assert that this wine wasn’t Billionaire Vodka?”
Stunned, the wine taster stammered again, “It’s because… Mister Johnson told me it was tequila when he brought it over…”
“You didn’t even bother to taste it before making a subjective judgment. Honestly, I’m not sure how you landed a job as a wine taster.”
”
Pearl’s rudeness turned the wine taster’s awkwardness into embarrassment. He retorted, Maybe you just got lucky. And why did you doubt my background? Who do you think you are? You lack professional knowledge, yet you dared to criticize me.”
Pearl raised her brows. “I’m a wine taster.”
The wine taster laughed. “Stop making a fool of yourself! Don’t label yourself a wine taster when your knowledge is just mediocre. Do you even have a certification? Show it to me!”
Pearl shook her head at his disdainful expression. “I don’t have my certification with me, but I’m certain you’ve heard of Rarity.”
The famous wine taster, Rarity?
“I’m Rarity.”
