Chapter 923: Chapter 921: MAINLEY BANQUET 9 – PROMOTING
Meanwhile, in the hall, Diamond was busy chatting with the ladies who were quite interested in her wines. Some of them had been sent by their husbands. After all, which men didn’t like liquor and one that smells so wonderful like that?
Having customers bring themselves to her door, Diamond didn’t turn them down but cheerfully interacted with them.
"Oh! You are interested in buying the wine? That’s good. Let me tell you a bit about it before you choose. After all, the prices are a bit high. I wouldn’t want you to think that you have been cheated."
"Haha, if it smells like that. We won’t be cheated. We trust you."
"But still, we won’t mind to hear more regarding the wine."
"When is it officially getting sold?"
Seeing the enthusiasm of the ladies, Diamond readily explained some details to them.
"The wine I gifted the chairman is a very special wine. Like I said previously. It’s good at nourishing the body. It’s not harmful despite its alcohol content. The Woody flavor comes in four tiers. S, SS, SSS, and SV being the ones I opened first.
The SV wines are limited and there aren’t many at the moment. In fact, it might take time for them to be made again. So, for this tier, you can only get them through an auction. They are not that easy to make. So, bear with me," Diamond couldn’t help but lie with her eyes open.
If she didn’t make the wine very special. Any Tom or Dick will stomp over her. Where would anyone get such a flavor in this life?
Even she, hadn’t drunk a lot of that wine. So why should she make it easily available?
When the ladies heard that, they hissed in surprise, not expecting Diamond to say something like that.
Some of them simply thought that she was trying to mooch money off them again, but others simply felt that the wine deserved it.
Who wasn’t intoxicated earlier when it was opened?
"Like you saw, the bottles themselves are superior, and all that should be taken into account. Anyway, the price of the wine will depend on the day of the auction but the starting price will be A$100,000 a bottle."
"What?" The guests were astonished at hearing the price and Ruby’s face twitched as she watched her sister being so calm as she continued uttering exaggerated prices.
Wasn’t she afraid that no one would sell?
Anyway, Diamond didn’t care about that. She trusted her wines so much and even listed the prices of the other three before introducing the peach wine, which the ladies took an interest in.
The woody flavor was too strong for them but the peach wine, wouldn’t be a problem.

While Diamond was busy promoting her wine in the hall while dining, upstairs, the chairman, who had taken the healing pill, was feeling so refreshed and his children were looking at him with jovial expressions.
"Father, do you really feel okay?"
The chairman laughed heartily as he stood to his feet steadily which made the children tear up.
Unlike the other families, where they wished for the head of the family to kick the bucket so that they may benefit, the Mainley family wasn’t like that.
The old man was their support and if something truly happens, they were afraid that the Uvedale family might try some tricks and swallow them.
The grievances and feud between them weren’t easily solved. The two families’ rift continues to deepen and only when the old man is standing can they prepare for the worst.
The chairman looked at his children with sharp eyes after his excitement passed. "I will have the doctor examine me later but this news will not be spread. This time, I must catch that old bastard by surprise. I don’t believe that he will not suffer a loss!"
"Yes, father. We will not leak this news."
"What should we do then?"
The old man looked at his children, and suddenly, that beautiful young lady appeared in his mind, and a plan emerged.
"For now, I don’t care how you do it, but make your children very obedient and let them befriend Diamond or her little sister Ruby. Don’t force it, but be friendly, and don’t anger her at all costs.
If she can take out such a rare pill and give it away without flinching, then her background is something that we shouldn’t take lightly. You should know what to do, right?"
The old man seriously spoke with his children and stared making plans.

Meanwhile, in the hall, in several corners, families were busy talking in low voices since they didn’t want their conversations to be overhead by others.
At the Kembold table, the current chairman was with the current heir, who was his eldest grandson, his son, and his daughter.
Unlike other families with several branches, their family had fewer branches, and their children were not adept in business. He simply made his son’s eldest son his heir, and no one had anything to say about it.
"What do you think?" the Kembold old man asked the three, curious to see what they had seen during this whole banquet.
"Grandfather, from what I have seen today. I think that keeping an eye on the Perry sisters will get us somewhere. We must not forget that right now, Diamond owns 10% of our subsidiary company. We should keep her closer and not offend her. We don’t even know how much backing she has right now. And with her reputation, having her connected to us, we might benefit," Alex unhurriedly shared his thoughts.
The Kembold chairman hummed in response as he looked at his son, who was actually very straightforward, "Father, let us become friends. We have nothing to lose."
As for the daughter, she had been observing for a long time and managed to capture a lot of interesting things that others might not have in this short time.
"Father, I think that we can try to make her endorse our products. She is also a major shareholder and wants to earn. As long as we pay enough, we can make it. If she can help the Mainley family, who has nothing to do with her. Then us, she will surely lend a hand, but only if we go to her with the right attitude.
Besides, apart from her, we can also approach Ruby. Either way, we won’t suffer a loss. Diamond is well known for being a sis-con. She will surely help Ruby in whatever way to see her soar."
