Chapter 966 Let Me Try

• The atmosphere turned chilly the moment Ells finished his sentence. Most of the people at the event knew of Mordant because they were all from the same community. Ells, on the other hand, wasn’t part of their community; he was merely a sommelier who used his knowledge and skills to approach Madam Louise—a sommelier who fell for Madam Louise’s niece. Mordant was one of the key figures in the Freemasonry; like Oheir, he had the power to just utter some nonsense about the wine tasting nice before taking the girl away with him. Perhaps Ells wouldn’t have had the confidence to go up on stage if he had been aware of this.
• “Are you sure you want to have a taste of this wine?” Mordant gave Ells a cold glare. Ells felt his scalp turning numb with fear as he forced a smile onto his face. “Well, since Madam Louise hosted an event like this, everyone in the crowd should have an equal opportunity to compete, right?” Ells uttered.
• “Well, go ahead and try it, then!” Mordant spat coldly. Ells smiled before lifting the glass of red wine up and taking a tiny sip of it. The look on his face fell stern immediately after tasting it. The crowd held their breath as they all waited for the answer. “T-This is definitely wine from Bordeaux. It should be more than 50 years old…” Ells said with a cautious smile as he tried to contain the panic within him.
