Chapter 263 Strip Her Of Her Defense
Susan pulled off the red silk covering her eyes and glanced at Natalie and Phoebe with a bitter expression.
Spotting Wyatt standing next to Samuel, the color drained from her face.
When did he get here? What should I do? He must’ve seen how I have lost!
As she gazed at Samuel worriedly, she realized that he was not looking in her direction. His eyes were fixed on Natalie instead!
I meant to humiliate her and take her down a peg, but look at what has happened… I’ve actually created the perfect opportunity for her to show off!
Susan bit her lip angrily, her eyes reddening as fury raged within her.
With that turn of events, only Natalie and Phoebe remained to identify the tenth wine.
The guests gathered around them were abuzz, split into two camps by their differing speculations on the result.
“The Leister family was the one who provided all these wines. Susan just came of age, so she can’t have had much exposure to wines. It was only natural that she lost. However, Phoebe is slightly older than Susan, so she should have better knowledge and experience of wines. I think Phoebe will be the winner,” a man remarked, giving his two cents.
Another guest countered, “I beg to differ. That other lady has been answering every round without hesitation. They’ve been using a pen to write their answers, and you can see that she has written her answers clearly without crossing anything out. She may be young, but she seems much more knowledgeable about wine than the two Leister ladies.”
Natalie and Phoebe could vaguely make out what the guests were saying.
The former’s expression remained as calm and composed as before, radiating an intimidating aura.
On the contrary, Phoebe’s nervousness was causing her palms to sweat. Even if Natalie loses now, it won’t be embarrassing for her. But if I lose, I won’t just be embarrassing myself. I’ll also be humiliating the entire Leister family! I have to win the next round. I just have to do it!
Hector motioned for the waiters to pour the wine into two glasses and hold them up in front of the ladies.
