Chapter 204: Taking Turns to Lose

Jared Farrell calmly pushed a cup of freshly brewed tea towards Damian.

"Teaware is naturally meant for brewing tea."

"This is an antique!" Damian glared at Jared Farrell but couldn't resist taking a sip. The unique, subtle fragrance of the tea made him almost sigh in contentment.

He had coveted this tea from the Imperial Tea Garden for a long time. Each year, only a few ounces were produced, and they were always pre-ordered by the elites before even being harvested. He never even had a chance to smell it. Unexpectedly, it was now his most hated rival who fulfilled his wish.

As he savored the tea, he carefully played with the intricately carved white porcelain teacup in his hand. The cup, crafted by Shawn Westwood, depicted stories related to tea-planting, harvesting, processing, selling, brewing, and tasting. Such exquisite craftsmanship made his own white jade teaware look like trash.

Shouldn't such a precious item be kept in a secure cabinet?

Yet this man was using it so casually!

Tina glanced at Damian's face, filled with jealousy and anger towards Jared Farrell, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Tina," Hugo and Jennie called her over as soon as they saw her come down. Jennie whispered, "Do your brothers have a grudge against Jared?"

Watching from the side, it seemed like they were just making tea, but it felt like they might start fighting any second.

Tina smiled and patted Jennie's back reassuringly.

"Serena, come sit here," Dexter Brookes and the others immediately made space for her when they saw her.

Before Tina could move, Jared Farrell stood up first, took her hand, and led her to sit beside him. He raised an eyebrow at the eight people opposite who looked displeased.

He brewed another cup of tea for Tina and handed it to her. Then he glanced disdainfully at Damian's white jade teaware and said, "Don't bring out such things next time."
