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!”

Surprised, Kieran quickly poured himself a glass. It had a long finish with a strong floral taste.

liskey real? You bought this pack of whiskey for thirteen

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.

Sophia kept serving her real grandchildren and ignored William and Mia, treating them like strangers. Meanwhile, William didn’t eat much, while Mia and Melisenna didn’t touch their food.

William answered, “Yes, Uncle Clement. Mia will be in her last year of high school soon, and her exam results aren’t bad either. A while ago, she participated in the National Math Competition for Middle and High Schools and won first place for this district. Clearview University, Celestial University, and other universities all called us, hoping Mia could study there. 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?
