The Billionaire And His Son Want Me Back by Juliette Vaughan

Chapter 163

Chapter 163

As the general manager of Cloud Crest Winery's Brightmoor division, Nate knew exactly how rare an intact bottle of Cloud Crest Reserve was.

The annual production was limited, and as soon as the wine was released, it was snatched up by wealthy buyers, leaving no chance for ordinary people to get their hands on it.

Every bottle consumed was one less available. Even with his position, he was only able to secure one or two bottles a year.

Now, a perfectly good bottle had been destroyed just like that.

He had planned to use it as a gift. His contract as a general manager was renewed annually, and this year his performance hadn't been great. The assistant to the boss had been noncommittal about his prospects for renewal.

With the year-end approaching, he had hoped to smooth things over and have someone put in a good word for him with the boss and the assistant, increasing his chances of staying on.

While he had come home under the guise of celebrating his daughter's birthday, his real purpose had been to retrieve this bottle of wine. Now it was gone.

In this moment, he felt like his career was shattered along with the wine. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His gaze toward Paisley and Serena grew increasingly venomous.

"I'm warning you, if you don't come up with an identical bottle of wine, don't blame me for what happens next. I'll make sure you and your daughter can't stay in Harrowfell!" he shouted.

The other parents fell silent. No one dared to step forward and help Paisley. Even the children, who had been playing happily just moments ago, now huddled quietly by their parents, who kept a tight grip on them.
