Chapter 249

“Impossible.” Wayne instinctively denied it. How could a bottle of homemade wine be sold for that much?

“Why not?” Mike responded.

The price of wine, after all, could reach extraordinary heights. Many renowned domestic and foreigs wities sold for fr more, but that didn’t mean their taste and aroma were superior,

Mike thought to himself, if he were a rich man, he’d certainly buy it. But, sadly, he wasn’t, and Taylor wouldn’t sell it myway

Though Mike wasn’t wealthy, there were a few rich people in the research lab, all of whom were eager to buy wine from Taylor through the Holmes family.

When so many wealthy people were fighting to get their hands on something, it was easy to see that, in their minds, the wite was worth far more than the 100 thousand dollars.

Seeing Wayne’s disbelief, Mike wanted to tell him that different people sought different things.

Some wanted food and warmth, others sought wealth, some wanted fame, while others wanted health

It was fine not to understand someone else’s pursuit, but to doubt them and even try to report them without knowing the full picture was downright despicable.

Mike felt the need to speak firmly to Wayne.

He cleared his throat and spoke with a serious expression, “Wayne, you shouldn’t keep focusing on Taylor. Every time he does something, you’re the first to know. Instead of wasting your time on him, why not use it to build better relationships with your colleagues in your team?”

Wayne flushed with anger after hearing this. Even though he was still dissatisfied inside, he couldn’t stay any longer. He muttered a couple of words and hurriedly left.

Mike sighed, his heart still uneasy. As he continued to write his report, his mind kept returning to the grapes–grapes,

grapes, grapes…

Glancing out at the night, he calmed himself a bit.

The grapes wouldn’t run away. He’d go check it out tomorrow.
