Chapter 143 Niall's Island Resort

Jasper said, "Niall, you're too courteous."

Zoren chimed in, "Honestly, Pauillac is just okay. I think those rare Lafite bottles in your cellar might be more to my liking. I wouldn't mind taking those home." Niall was speechless.

Zoren quickly backed down, "Fine, I misspoke, Niall."

"It's on its way, but it might take a while to get here."
