Cold sweat poured down Simon’s back. It finally dawned on him that that man was n ordinary rich kid trying to play big shot was the kind of top-tier elite that Simon couldn’t even begin to fathom. Only someone with that kind of background would cam order wines of this caliber on a resort island.

“I-I was drunk last night!” Simon’s bravado crumbled into shameless excuses. He averted his eyes, his voice losing all conviction “I clearly remember Mr. Peterson inviting us to drink and saving it was on his tab. Why arm I being charged? I didn’t order the wine!

Daniel frowned, his gaze growing cold. “Mr. Peterson personally called the winery to clarify that he never authorized anyone else to receive the delivery on his behalf, nor did he invite anyone to share the wines. According to our delivery staff, you were the one who insisted that if he wouldn’t pay, you would, and that’s why you took possession.”

“That was drunk talk! You can’t take what someone says when they’re intoxicated seriously!” Simon dug in, stubborn as a mule.” don’t have the money. Go after whoever placed the order; don’t pin this on me!”

Daniel withdrew the bill, now looking at Simon as though he were already a lost cause.

“Mr. Collins, it appears you’re unwilling to resolve this amicably.”

He glanced at Jerold, who stood beside him with an impassive face, then addressed Simon coldly, “In that case, we have nothing more to discuss. We will forward the evidence to our legal department and pursue all necessary legal measures.”

Without another word, Daniel tucked the bill away, gave Jerold a slight nod, and the two turned and left without a backward glance.

The suite fell into deathly silence for about three seconds. Then all hell broke loose.

Simon’s drinking buddies, who’d been singing his praises all night, suddenly turned on him.

“Simon, you’ve screwed us all!” one man shouted, kicking an empty bottle out of his way and jabbing a finger at Simon’s face “Why did you act like a big shot? Do you have any idea what kind of people come to this island now that it’s opened? That ware Romanée-Conti, not some cheap swill you drink back in your hick town!”

“Exactly! You had a few drinks and forgot who you were, swearing you’d cover it if he didn’t pay. Now it’s six and a half manj you’d better figure out how to fill that hole yourself!”

Simon’s face went white. He collapsed back onto the leather sofa that had felt so luxurious just hours an
