Chapter 204

Chapter 204 What Maya was saying with that lecturing tone, Eliza did not like to listen to very much.

She muttered in a low voice, “I don’t have the same perseverance as you, I can imagine chasing a man for so many years, and I still haven’t won his heart after all, aunt, with your condition, why settle for just him?” Eliza was very confused, after so many years, what exactly was her aunt holding on to? Maya glared lightly at Eliza. “What do you know? The only thing you need to know about chasing a man is not how many years you’ve been chasing him, but what you’ve gotten out of him over the years. Alan has no background, but in the first half of his life, thanks to his status as the son-in-law of the Moores family, he has built a solid foundation and has made his way in the workplace, now sitting as the head of Universal TV. He has a great ambition, and I am happy to be a confidante beside him and become the leading girl of Universal TV.”

As she said that, her eyes tilted up and she hummed lightly, “If it wasn’t for my connections, how would you, a nobody coming out of nowhere, have been able to stay relevant as a hostess at Universal TV?”

At this point, Eliza kept her mouth shut. The Brown family was already a spent force, and the so-called well-educated family was just a way to sugarcoat, but in reality, they were so poor that they couldn’t even find her a decent job. She wanted to enter the entertainment industry, and she went to meet a few directors. However, she was not able to get any play but was taken advantage of by them. It was her aunt Maya who helped her out and got her a job as a hostess at Universal TV so that she could maintain her elegant and intellectual persona. It was nepotism that got her into Universal TV. In fact, she wanted Owen to get her inside, but since they broke up, he had deleted all her contact information and wouldn’t even see her, let alone offer her help. In the end, she had to ask Maya to talk to Alan and used her silver tongue to get a position as a trainee hostess. Whether or not she could be a formal staff depended on her performance. So today, when Maya was informed by Alan that he would take her to a wine tasting pasty, she hurriedly called Eliza over so that she could make an acquaintance in front of Alan and make a good impression. Eliza told Maya, “Owen Moore is also here.” Maya couldn’t help but be surprised. “What? Owen ……” She realised her voice was a bit loud and immediately lowered her voice. “Owen is also here in Berny? Isn’t he in Poya City?” She never expected that the father and son would get together. It was too late to ask questions, Maya grabbed Eliza and carefully urged her. “Listen carefully, today is an important day in your life, even if you don’t excel, you can’t make any mistakes, you understand?” Eliza nodded cluelessly and added, “Also, Hailey is here too.” Once again, Maya dropped her jaw. “She’s here too?” People were gathering up today.

Hailey and Kyle came to the wine tasting party for no other purpose than simply to taste wine. So as soon as they arrived, the two went straight to the wine tasting room, where there were sommeliers on the oval bar helping to recommend various sorts of wine, and guests sitting on bar stools. The large tasting room was divided into different areas depending on the region, and the sommeliers came from all over the world, some with an interpreter on hand to explain the wines as they were tasting.

The Fapu area had the most customers, and a bottle of Lafite was almost finished before it had been long opened. Many orders for it were placed. Hailey and Kyle were not interested in Lafite, as they had a bunch in their cellar and were used to drinking it. Today, they came with a curiosity to try something different. “There is an order to wine tasting, start with white wine or sparkling wine, start from light to strong, from crisp to dense, judge your wine without losing your taste sensation and don’t get drunk.” Here Hailey was giving Kyle a lesson to prevent him from pouring in like a water buffalo, while nonchalantly ordering down the wine he found sweet and tasty, without any pain at all in spending other people’s money. At the same time, Matthew was giving Owen a long lament. “It’s like tasting a woman. When I was young, I liked to have someone innocent, but now I like something with history, the spicier and stronger, the better.”

Owen didn’t bother to pay attention to his nonsenses, signed off on the wine that tasted good, and moved on to the next section. Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw his father, Alan Long, who turned up in pairs with Maya Brown.

He looked slightly stunned and froze right there. Alan, on the other hand, because Maya had told him beforehand, was not surprised by his son’s appearance and greeted him gently, “Came over to have fun with your friends?” . Owen pursed his thin lips, did not say anything, and his eyes fixed on Maya, who was holding his father’s arm tightly. As if not noticing his gaze, Maya held his arm’even a little tighter, and her soft body almost adsorbed onto his as she smiled. “Owie, what a coincidence to meet you here.” Owen’s brow furrowed slightly. Maya’s tone of voice, demeanour and appearance were almost identical to Eliza’s. No, to put it more precisely, she had been taught well by her aunt in this regard and was almost a perfect replica. But for some reason, his aunt, Maya Brown, who was once as gentle and beautiful as an angel in his heart, suddenly became an abomination. The way Eliza looked in front of Hailey was the same as the way Maya looked in front of his mother. He instantly had a rude awakening when he found that he was repeating his father’s history! Owen’s face, all of a sudden, turned miserably pale and he could barely stand up. Both Alan and Maya noticed that he did not look quite right, and the next moment, Matthew came forward and greeted him extremely naturally. “Hello Uncle Long, do you still remember me?” “Matthew. You are a comrade of my son’s and his good brother, how could I not remember?” Alan showed his official friendly smile. Matthew pretended to get a bit carried away and soon walked away with Owen, who looked soulless. Watching their departing figures, Maya sighed seemingly unintentionally. “How long has it been, and you two still don’t speak?

Fathers and sons don’t bear grudges, find a time to make up as soon as possible.” Alan did not say anything and pursed his thin lips. His expression was the same as his son’s, with a dark aura hidden deep in his pupils. “However, I don’t think you’re the reason why Owen is in such a bad mood.” Maya nudged her mouth somewhat meaningfully towards Alan “His ex-wife, Hailey is here too. Here, right over there.”

Alan followed the direction she pointed and glanced over, catching a glimpse of the clear figure sitting on the bar stool, a far cry from the well-behaved daughter-in-law he remembered. He gave the final word, “Come on, let’s go over there.” After a quick look around, the Ipasland was the least crowded and the sommelier was lonely as the interpreter didn’t come and the two customers who did manage to come left quickly because of the language barrier. Hailey and Kyle walked straight over to the wine taster, who regained his enthusiasm, opened a bottle of red wine, gently raised it towards Hailey and rattled on for half a day. Hailey smiled faintly and gabbed with him. Kyle shamelessly asked, “What are you talking about?” Hailey turned into a human translator. “He said that the dress I wore today was the colour of the wine in his hand and complimented me on my beauty and good temperament. I said thank you.” Before Kyle could say anything, someone sat down next to Hailey. Matthew twinkled his peach blossom eyes and said, “I didn’t expect you to speak Italian. But I seriously doubt that you added the second half of the sentence yourself.” With Matthew here, Owen would not be far behind. The empty bar stools were soon filled with four people, and one who could understand Italian. So, the sommelier was once again excited and enthusiastically invited Hailey to be his translator. He rattled on and on, and Matthew listened carefully but didn’t understand a word. He patted Hailey. “What did he say?” Hailey’s tone was cold, “He said, get your dirty hands off me, then get lost!”
