A single bottle of the wine on her tray was worth two hundred thousand dollars.
Even if Willow dared to try it, she didn't have the money to afford the consequences of a failed attempt at such an expensive venture.
"Sounds good. Pour the wine," Wyatt decided on behalf of everyone.
Just to be sure, Willow asked again, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm sure. Stop wasting time and pour the wine!" Wyatt urged.
Willow opened a bottle of wine with relief after receiving confirmation. She walked over to Christopher, who was seated at the innermost spot, accompanied by two beautiful women.
She brought two glasses and placed them in front of the women, then bent over to pour the wine.
Unbeknownst to her, her neckline was low, and her skirt had ridden up while pouring the wine, revealing a tantalizing view.
Jasper caught sight of this scene, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Willow proceeded to pour wine for Christopher, Frederick, and Wyatt's companions.
Once she was done, she straightened up with a professional smile and said, "Please, ladies, enjoy."
Following the approval of the distinguished young men, the young ladies raised their glasses and took a sip. Their consensus was unanimous: "It's delicious!"
Women who mingled in such gatherings knew the unspoken rules for pleasing the wealthy young men. Who would risk being cast aside by daring to say the wine wasn't good?
Those who stood out or drew attention to themselves may become targets, after all.
"Did you hear that? It's good. Isn't it time you poured one for Mr. Jasper? He's our main star tonight. If you neglect him, you won't be able to handle the consequences," Wyatt ordered Willow as he looked up.
Tonight, the Four Aristocrats of Buscen City had gathered because Jasper had just returned to the country.
They were celebrating his return.
Understanding the situation, Willow quickly approached Jasper's side with the wine bottle, bending over to pour him a glass.
She poured the wine carefully, failing to notice the man's intense gaze fixed on her exposed neckline.
After pouring, she looked up and said respectfully, "Sir, please enjoy the wine."
Their eyes met with that action, and it felt as if his gaze pierced through her soul with how intense it was.
Her heart trembled in fear.
She swiftly reflected on whether she had done something wrong or provoked him.
Otherwise, why would he look at her with such a sharp gaze?
"Sir, are you alright?" Willow thought she had made a mistake and spoke with a cautious and gentle voice.
To Jasper's ears, her voice sounded like a soft whimper, much like the woman's voice from five years ago.
That night, the woman had called out tenderly. She had sounded fragile and helpless.
This woman's voice, why was it so similar to hers?
Five years ago, he had been in an aerial battle with his enemy in a helicopter. He was drugged and injured, and he fell from the helicopter. After his encounter with that woman, he had gone abroad for treatment and had been overseas ever since.
He only returned to the country today.
However, he sent his secretary out the next day after that fateful night to find that woman. The secretary reported that a collapsing building had killed the woman.
Had his intel been mistaken?
The voice was merely similar, and she wasn't the one, right?
