Chapter 264 Shocked

Hector was the first to see the answers, and a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes.

This tenth round was more of a prank than a test. Whoever managed to pinpoint at least one of its

contents correctly would be named the winner. But I never imagined that one of them would be able to

list out the contents of the glass perfectly!

“I announce that the winner is Ms. Natalie!” Hector declared, turning toward Natalie with unbridled awe

and admiration in his eyes.

The waiters displayed the answers for everyone to see. Natalie had listed three types of red wines with

their corresponding location of production and vintage. After changing her answers a few times, Phoebe

had only written one type of red wine.

Seeing the puzzled looks on the guests’ faces, Hector explained, “The tenth wine was a mixture of

Pétrus, La Mondotte, and Valandraud. Not only did Ms. Natalie get the types of wine correct, but she also

identified their location of production and vintage to a tee.”

Shocked, a collective gasp rose from the crowd.

A mixture of three wines! What an unpredictable thing to do!

Phoebe’s answer was not even remotely accurate, but that just showed how difficult the last round had

been.

“I have to compliment Ms. Natalie’s knowledge of wine,” said Hector, clapping his hand.

That led the other guests to burst into applause as well.

“The two ladies from the Leister family failed to figure it out, but that lady got it right! That’s incredible!”

“She came with Samuel, didn’t she? Well, well… It’s always the quiet ones that surprise you.”

“I’m more interested in that lady’s penmanship. It’s simply amazing!”

“She’s just good at everything!”

Just like that, the scornful gazes the guests once directed toward Natalie turned into looks of admiration.

Phoebe pulled off the blindfold and scurried over to Susan. “I… I never thought it… it would end up like

this…”

“You were the one who came up with the brilliant idea! Look at what happened! This is supposed to be

my coming-of-age party, but she’s the one hogging all the limelight!” Susan hissed. Having nowhere to

vent her pent-up rage, she could only unleash a verbal tirade at Phoebe.

Although Phoebe was also devastated that she had humiliated herself in front of everyone, she dared not

say anything for fear of offending Susan. Hence, she could only grit her teeth and put up with Susan’s

rebukes.

When Natalie took off the blindfold, she realized that everyone was looking at her.

Natalie was satisfied that she had succeeded in getting back at Susan and Phoebe in her own way.

However, the eyes on her made her feel uncomfortable. After giving the crown a slight nod, she walked

to a less conspicuous corner.

“Ms. Natalie,” a voice said.

She turned and saw Hector beaming at her.

Hector hurried over to Natalie and said with a smile, “I’m curious to know how you managed to guess

that the last wine was a mixture of a few different wines?”

Natalie’s eyes flashed as she explained, “It wasn’t a guess. I really could smell the aroma of three

different wines. Your rules only mentioned that we were to identify the wines through smell, but there was

no mention that it would only be one wine per round. I merely wrote down what I smelled, that’s all.

Actually, the other lady also realized it too. However, she was too focused on winning that she didn’t

even consider that you would come up with something so… unusual.”

Hector could not help laughing heartily after hearing her reply.

This has nothing to do with her appearance, but I can sense something special about her. In fact, I’ve

realized that she’s just like fine wine. There’s more to her than meets the eye.

His eyes sparkled as he looked at her. “It’s rare for me to meet a like-minded person, and I certainly

didn’t expect that I’d meet someone like you here tonight. It truly is a blessing!”

However…

Before Natalie could respond, she felt a man’s arm circle her waist possessively.
