Chapter 162

Paisley felt that Vivian's mood was off, but she didn't pursue it further. She carried Serena and walked out of the crowd to their corner to grab her phone.

Isabella quickly followed. "Mrs. Morgan, keep an eye on her, don't let her run off."

Paisley shot a sideways glance at Isabella and then asked Vivian, "What's the retail price of this wine?" Vivian laughed, "Ms. Sutton, are you okay? Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? Do you know the value of this bottle? You're asking about the retail price? If we're going by retail price, you couldn't even afford an empty bottle."

Paisley knew about Cloud Crest Reserve's market markup, but this wasn't something she could control. "Alright, then how much is it?"

"200 grand," Vivian said directly, confident that Paisley wouldn't have 200 grand. She was determined to humiliate this woman and make her beg for mercy.

Paisley frowned, "200 grand?"

That was over ten times, a bit much. Looked like she needed to talk to Lucy about this. The market markup was getting too much, and it was not good for the brand.

She wasn't directly in charge of the winery's operations. That was handled by a professional manager Lucy hired. She just needed to review reports periodically and occasionally craft a batch of premium wine herself.

I didn't expect this to happen." Then she pointed at Paisley. "It was that child who broke it." Nate followed her finger and saw Paisley sitting nearby. For a moment, his expression turned awkward. That brief awkwardness didn't escape Vivian's notice, and her gaze toward Paisley grew colder.
