Adrian was a champagne person, and he bought the best champagne in the first place every year.
Aleigha liked champagne, too. Thus, he bought two bottles of the best champagne this year.
It tasted 10,000 times better than the one Mrs. Hammond gave her.
Mrs. Hammond looked really awkward. She had thought that Aleigha knew nothing about champagne.
She was actually not a hillbilly!
"Relax. This is not bad. I'm not picky."
Mrs. Hammond was so angry that she excused herself to go to the bathroom.
Some ladies took the initiate to chat with Aleigha, and their words were full of praise.
Aubrie came back in a sorry state and returned to her seat. Adrian subconsciously moved to the other side.
When Valentino's daughter Lauren came, the atmosphere was already very lively. Although Adrian didn't talk much, he chatted happily with the officials.
Lauren recently returned from studying music in Vienna. She was tall and had an outstanding temperament. As soon as she came in, she attracted the attention of young men.
However, her eyes were just fixed on Adrian.
"Aubrie, I think you're drunk. Let me have someone send you back." Lauren walked to Aubrei on purpose, and she glanced at Adrian from time to time.
"I'm good." Annoyed, Aubrie got rid of Lauren's hand and moved closer to Adrian.
When Mrs. Hammond showed up again, there was a bottle of champagne in her hand. Aleigha could tell with a glance that it was Jeroboam.
This was one of the most expensive champagne. The more expensive ones would be embellished with diamonds.
Even so, it was very rare.
Jeroboam was generally used for collection and was not available on the market at all.
Aleigha looked at Mrs. Hammond with interest.
"Miss Gardner, what do you think of this one?"
Mrs. Hammond looked really proud. Not everyone could have Jeroboam.
So what if Aleigha had the champagne made in May?
This was the king of champagne.
Aleigha was amused. Still, she kept a polite smile. "Mrs. Hammond, you're really amazing. It's Jeroboam, isn't it?"
Upon hearing that, Mrs. Hammond was even more proud. But she was still reluctant to open the champagne.
The other ladies looked at her and didn't know what to say.
Valentino, who had a lot to drink, was not drunk at all. When he realized what his wife was holding, he almost jumped up.
He winked at Lauren, hinting that she should take the champagne away.
Unexpectedly, Lauren was busy talking to Aubrie and paying attention to Adrian. She didn't even notice what her father was doing.
Valentino nearly stamped his foot in his anxiety.
"Mrs. Hammond, we don't really drink, and this is a very expensive bottle, so you might as well keep it."
A lady seemed to have realize something and reminded Mrs. Hammond.
Mrs. Hammond sneered as if she was laughing at that lady. But soon, she thought of something and hid the sarcasm on her face.
She pretended to be generous. "It's okay. I'm really
happy today."
Aleigha was overjoyed. It seemed that Mrs. Hammond, who looked sophisticated and smart, was also an idiot.
She guessed that she didn't have to worry about dealing with Valentino.
His wife would be his jinx.
Before the dinner was over, Mrs. Hammond had been sent away by Valentino's man. Later, he offered to take Adrian and Aleigha home himself.
However, in Adrian's eyes, Valentino was no longer of any value.
In the car.
"What do you plan to do with Valentino?" Adrian asked.
Aleigha couldn't stop laughing. "When Mrs. Hammond showed up with that bottle of champagne, I knew Valentino was going down.
"I think I can just sit there and do noting.
