Chapter 761
Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Upon hearing Minervaâs words, Demi nearly snorted with laughter as she thought to herself, âTry his cookingâ? Itâs obvious that the Campbells canât afford to eat here and they are trying to get a free meal using Matthewâs position. Nonetheless, her mother was still pinching her hand and dissuading her from speaking.
Looking a little awkward, Chloe muttered doubtfully, âIs⦠Is that appropriate?â
Immediately, Helen reassured her, âOhâitâs fine. Weâre family, after all. Thereâs no such thing as being inappropriate! Donât you think so, Matthew?â
Of course, Matthew wasnât going to shame Helen by saying no to such a request. So, he agreed with a nod. âRight. Itâs rare to be able to meet a famous chef from China, so it makes sense to try his cooking.â
Gratified, she beamed at him. All of a sudden, she was finding him much more palatable as a son-in-
law. If nothing else, she could at least be grateful for how much grace he was giving the Campbells.
And so, Mr. Moses announced, âItâs decided, then. I shall arrange things for you. Ohâwhat would you like to drink, Mr. Larson? We recently procured a few bottles of Cheval Blanc; would you like me to bring them to you?â
âCheval Blanc?â Minerva interrupted skeptically. Why would such a high-end establishment as yours serve Cheval Blanc? If weâre going to eat here, you could at least bring us a 1982 Lafite. I know you have it because I saw it on your menu. Bring us a few bottles.â
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Moses replied, âA bottle of this Cheval Blanc costs upward of 300,000, miss.â
Minervaâs eyes bulged and she gaped openly at him. She thought she had seen everything but she had no idea that a bottle of white wine cost so much. âYouâre⦠Youâre joking, right?â she asked.
Calmly, he replied, âNo, miss. Our boss recently procured these bottles from an auction.â
Minerva stammered, âN-No, what I mean is⦠How could a bottle of Cheval Blanc cost so much?â
âBecause it was produced in 1947!â he answered.
The single sentence made Jonahâs expression change. He was aware of how much the 1947 Cheval Blanc was worth. After all, his boss had a bottle that sat unopened at home, idly waiting for it to appreciate in value.
When he visited his bossâ home, his boss had shown off the wine cellar to him more than once; thus, he was very aware of how much the bottle cost. And now, Mr. Moses was offering a few bottles to Matthew for free! Just how much was the Supreme Card worth?
Suddenly, Demi drawled, âItâs alright, Mr. Moses. My cousin has said that we canât consume alcohol tonight as weâre driving.â
Upon hearing that, Tate promptly flushed red. Even if he didnât drink any of it, he would have auctioned it off. Besides, he had to at least have a taste, no matter what. A mouthful could be worth 10 or 20 thousand, so how could he pass up on such a good opportunity?
Fortunately, Mr. Moses only replied amiably, âOhâthatâs no issue. We provide valet service here.â
And so, Tate seized the opportunity and asked, âIs that true? Thatâs great, then! If they can send us back, we can drink without care.â
Meanwhile, Minerva also nodded, feeling more eager than him. On the other hand, Demi curled her lips once again. When it came to the Campbells, there was nothing she felt more strongly than contempt.
Fortunately, Matthew wasnât bothered and he only nodded his agreement, saying, âThank you, Mr.
Moses. Please have things arranged, then.â
Respectfully, Mr. Moses bowed his head. âOf course. Dinner will be served shortly, Mr. Larson. Please enjoy your time here, everyone!â
With that, he exited the room, and the waiter entered soon after that with a few bottles of Cheval Blanc.
The labels on them were old and peeling. Yet, the year could be clearly seenâ1947!
Immediately, Minerva pulled out her phone and she said, âTake a picture for me, Tate. Make sure to get the label as well!â
