Chapter 104 Competing With Mia

Kieran was slightly shocked, “Grandpa, are you really drinking that?”

Troy glared at his grandson. “What do you know? This is an authentic thirty–year–old whiskey!”

Once he finished, he stared at William. “Is this thousand five hundred?”

William replied, “I don’t know much about alcohol. If Grandpa says it’s real, then it’s real.”

Right then, Beau and the others poured themselves a glass of whiskey. Though they had drunk alcohol before, they couldn’t distinguish whether it was real and could only tell that the whiskey tasted great.

Afterward, the dishes were brought in, and everyone began eating.

They even offered her free tuition fees, but I didn’t agree because Mia had better options than those. I’m planning on letting her study abroad.”

The whole room fell silent. First place in the district? How could that be possible?
