“Hello, everyone.”
Dayanara smiled and greeted the people on the sofa.
The three sat on the leather sofa.
“Dayanara, let me introduce them to you. This is Brycen, the second oldest son of the Carneys. This is Phoebe, daughter of the person in charge of the Walters. That is Kendall, the fourth eldest son of the Reeds,” Cecelia introduced them with a smile on her face. “You young people should interact more with each other in the future.”
Dayanara smiled and nodded at them.
These people were all from wealthy families in Auton. The Reeds, the Carneys, and the Walters were all second-rate familys that were well-matched to the Mcconnells.
Although Dayanara was a Mcconnell, she had never enjoyed the treatment received by a member of a wealthy family. Her father had never grasped the wealth and power of the Mcconnells, so she rarely attended such an event.
“Come on everyone, welcome Dayanara. Have some wine. Kendall, go get two bottles of Burgundy red wine. I stored a batch at the bar. It’s produced in the Domaine de La Romanee-Conti. Take the best one, the one made in 1982,” Theodore waved his hand and said with a dignified manner.
“Alright.”
Kendall, who was chubby, got up and walked to the bar not far away.
“Wine from Domaine de La Romanee-Conti, Burgundy? Made in 1982?” Dayanara was surprised as well as a little embarrassed. “Isn’t it too expensive? We can drink something else.”
Although she had never experienced the life of a rich family, she had heard of this top-notch French wine.
Romanie Conti was known as the Dream Wine. The annual production was limited to a few thousand bottles. Because of this, it was hard to buy it even if one is willing to pay. The wine was a symbol of one’s status and capability. It was usually auctioned at famous wine auctions and the one that was produced in 1982 was worth more than 100, 000.
Two bottles of wine would be worth 500, 000 …
Dayanara was uneasy. She had been living a life of a commoner since she was young, so she couldn’t accept this kind of reception in her heart.
“Dayanara also knows about the wine? We usually don’t have the chance to enjoy this good wine, but Mr. Boone made an exception for you,” Kendall said jokingly.
These gilded youths were trying hard to hold back their smiles. It was obvious that Dayanara’s reaction made them feel a sense of superiority.
Theodore coughed and said with a graceful smile, “As the saying goes in Country C, good wine goes with beauty. A beautiful woman like Dayanara must be welcomed with this fantastic wine to show our sincerity.”
“Eh …”
Dayanara looked at the two bottles of top-grade wine on the glass table that were glowing and the gorgeous bottles made by top craftsmanship. She was at a loss for what to do.
She didn’t like to accept unexpected gifts, especially one that was part of this kind of sumptuous reception.
The annual spending of her family was about 100, 000, and the two bottles of wine alone cost several hundred thousand…
“Relax, Dayanara, this is Theodore’s goodwill. In order to welcome you, he opened his stored wine, don’t refuse it.” Cecelia smiled and glanced at Alberto with ridicule.
“Yes, Dayanara, it’s nothing. You may not have seen these scenes before.” Phoebe smiled reservedly. “Everyone is here for fun, and a bottle of wine worth 200, 000 is nothing.”
Phoebe had a sexy temperament and exquisite facial features. She was wearing a lavender dress, which foiled her slim figure.
Her clothes, skirts, high heels, necklaces, rings, bags and watches were all of top brands, with any of them being of top quality. And even the perfume she wore was Chanel.
Although Dayanara was more beautiful than her, her outfits made her confident.
“Dayanara, you are a jewelry master in Auton now and you have a promising future. In addition to that, you are also the daughter of the Mcconnells. When you are in public, you must pay attention to your identity and image. Don’t dress too casually. It will make people laugh at you,” Phoebe smiled and said, fiddling with her Chanel bag.
“I remember to have met the eldest daughter of the Mcconnells, your eldest sister, Danielle, who is very sassy. No matter what she is wearing, it was much delicate than yours,” Phoebe added.
“Phoebe is right. Dayanara, you need to learn more about this from Phoebe. Pay more attention to your own image. Don’t just focus on jewelry design,” Cecelia said seriously.
Dayanara flushed, and she was very uneasy.
Of course she knew that these people were dressed elegantly while her outfits were straight and narrow and professional, which was a result of her not longing for luxury brands.
In short, compared to them, she felt that they were not in the same world…
“Dayanara, I have heard that the Mcconnells has recruited a husband for you. Does he usually ignore your daily life? Doesn’t he buy you branded clothes or handbags?” Phoebe asked curiously, but her eyes were filled with wryness.
Dayanara was a little embarrassed. “We never asked about each other’s source of income,” she said.
“Ah? There’s such a man in the world?” Phoebe clicked her tongue in amazement. “He doesn’t even spend money to dress up such a beautiful wife, and is even reluctant to buy luxury goods for her. He has no conscience. I suggest you kick that man out. Why keeping him?”
“Women should enjoy their lives,” Phoebe said with a sense of superiority, “Dayanara, we are both from second-rate families, but I am different from you. When I’m free, I’ll go to Europe to buy luxury goods and enjoy the scenery. Some time later, I will go to Sydney, Australia to have a vacation. Anyway, it’s men’s job to earn money.”
“Phoebe, don’t mention it. This was the wrong decision made by Bernard back then, and it ruined Dayanara. He recruited a loser for Dayanara. He didn’t have any ability. I heard that he could only be capable at home. Dayanara won’t let him enter her room and she makes that loser sleep in a separate room,” Cecelia said mockingly, ignoring the fact that Alberto was present.
“They’re husband and wife on the surface, but actually, Dayanara is a virgin. That loser is just a symbol,” Cecelia said excitedly.
“So that’s how it is.” Phoebe seemed to have a sudden enlightenment. “It’s a pity that Dayanara, who has a good background and a high level of attainment in jewelry industry has such a loser as her husband…”
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about that loser. Even I am angry from hearing this. He doesn’t even cherish a beautiful wife like Dayanara. He’s really useless,” Kendall also agreed.
“Mm, let’s have a drink together. Let’s not talk about that loser to destroy our mood.” Theodore smiled and waved his hand.
Kendall immediately stood up, held a plate of goblets, and opened a bottle of the 1982 Romanie Conti with a bottle opener.
