William’s words made Evans step back in fear, as he was unprepared for a fight.

It would be troublesome if William decided to follow through with what he said.

“I’m going to remember this, punk! I’m not done with you!” Seeing as the situation was unfavorable, Evans and his bodyguards left in a hurry with their tails between their legs.

A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him.

With his noble status, it wasn’t worth it to put his life on the line.

Once he was gone, William asked John. “You aren't familiar with him?”

“Not at all. I'm guessing he's a new face. Regardless, I can handle it. Do you want him dead?” John replied.

“Keep an eye on him. If he steps out of line, let me know.” William said after which he took his leave with John following closely behind.

Three hundred thousand dollars a bottle?!” everyone exclaimed in shock. The sky-high price had been way beyond their expectations.The Rodriguez family was pretty well–off, but even they hadn’t had a chance to try something this expensive.“Why’d you spend all that money on this, Harold? It’s too much, no?” Ava questioned, though pride laced her tone.“Three hundred thousand isn’t much. I have another barrel of this at home, so please, you all enjoy,” Harold said with a prideful grin.“Mr. O'Malley, you’re really generous.”“Yeah, we’re really in for a treat tonight!”The family began praising Harold for his wine, feeding his ego further.“Hey, boy, look a

Claiming you know about it is ridiculous.”Harold, who has been watching with a smile, chimed in, “Since William claims my pill is fake, perhaps he could explain exactly how?”“A fake is a fake. What more explanation is needed?” William retorted. Harold sighed with feigned patience. “William, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Perhaps you are upset about Celia and me, but this pill was obtained at great expense through my connections at Heavenly Orchard.
