Chapter 50 Andrew calmly stated , This isnt just some local wine , nor something any winery could produce .
His statement only angered Irene , and she barked , Andrew , would it kill you to stop bragging ? If its not local wine , what is it soine mythical elixir ? Actually , yes , thats exactly what it is , Andrew replied , causing the entire Stevens family to freeze before crupting in laughter .
They thought he was making a complete fool of himself with such an outrageous claim .
Even Harvey could not help but smirk , feeling insulted that such a nobody would dare compare himself to someone of his status .
Douglas gently patted Andrew on the shoulder and tried to comfort him .
Andy , even if our wine isnt the best , theres no need to compete .
Remember : if youre truly exceptional , others will naturally recognize it .
Andrew nodded .
Wise words , Mr.
Stevens Senior Ill keep them in mind .
Christina shook her head , thinking how pathetic it was that Andrew could not even understand her grandfathers subtle hint to stop embarrassing himself .noveldrama
