My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness



"What did you say?"

Marco was immediately incensed when he heard what Dustin said.

Everyone looked at Dustin in shock.

How could Dustin say that there was something wrong with the wine that cost 800 thousand dollars?

That truly stunned a lot of people.

"Are you saying that this wine is fake?" Marco's gaze was forbidding, and his posture was interrogative.

"It's not fake wine or anything," Dustin said. "If I'm not mistaken, this wine should be from a vineyard called Bijoux Vineyard in South Lovellia. Its retail price is 1,088 dollars per bottle. It's quite a renowned wine in Lovellia."

"You're saying this isn't Ronan wine?" someone asked loudly.

"It's not." Dustin shook his head. "It's just wine from Bijoux Vineyard in Ronan wine bottles."

"Bullsh*t!" Marco roared with a dark face.

"These are genuine bottles of Ronan wine. They cost more than 800 thousand dollars! Why would I fool my friends with local wine? You're falsely accusing me, plain and simple!

"Besides, these bottles are from Majestic Hotel's own stores. It was very hard to get them to bring them out. It's not something you get to drink even if you have the money for it. If it wasn't for my reputation, the manager of Majestic Hotel would never have brought it out!

"Do you know what kind of place Majestic Hotel is? How dare you call their wine fake? Are you for real?"

Marco was spitting mad as he chastised Dustin.

It was as if Dustin was causing him a lot of damage by accusing him of doing such a thing.

At that, the guests denounced Dustin as well.

“I can't stand by quietly," a man said. He looked at Dustin meanly. “Do you know anything about wines? Can you really have one taste and say this is something else dressed up as Ronan wine? You're really bold! Who do you think you are? Are you a wine connoisseur?"

"Even a wine connoisseur wouldn't dare to make such an assessment. How could anyone make their decision after just one taste? What a joke! He's just spouting nonsense even though he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's a pig farmer. He can't even afford to drink a thousand-dollar wine. How is he supposed to tell if this is a foreign wine worth hundreds and thousands of dollars? I'm sure he didn't know what Ronan wine was before he got here!"

"He's just pretending to be knowledgeable. He's accusing Marco in spite! I already thought he shouldn't be allowed to stay here after he attacked that man. He's a stain on this reunion!"

The guests all yelled at Dustin accusingly. Their words got more vicious the more they spoke.

The tension in the ballroom rose. It was like they all wanted to start a witch hunt against Dustin. They glared at him angrily.

"What do you know, country bumpkin? Marco isn't someone you can just accuse without a basis. He spent more than a million dollars organizing this reunion. You should be grateful for even getting to come, but you aren't. Even worse, you're saying these awful things. You're such an ingrate!" Devina yelled at him angrily.

Dustin shook his head. He could not be bothered to explain to these people.

No one supported him as they were happy to be lied to. Dustin did not mind that.

"If you think it's real, then sure, it's real." Dustin waved dismissively.

"What do you mean if we think it's real?" Marco was not satisfied. He kept insisting on this.

"You're accusing me of something,

so you can't expect me to just letzit go. Alright, since you think this wine

is fake, and you suspect me and Majestic Hotel, let's get the manager to talk to you!"

After saying that, Marco immediately made a phone call.

"Hmph! Let's see what he says when the manager gets here."

"He'll be taught a lesson for accusing Marco of such a thing so carelessly! Does he think he can just do that to Marco?"

"Such a petty person should be punished!"

Dustin remained calm amid the curses. His face was icy.

Soon, a suited, chubby man in his thirties arrived.

This had to be Majestic Hotel's manager, also Marco's cousin.

"Mr. Siegal, someone claims that the three bottles of Ronan wine your hotel provided me are fake. What shall we do about that?" Marco said to Cody Siegal.

Cody's face stiffened at that.

"Who's claiming that?" he asked sternly.

"It was this man!" someone shouted and pointed at Dustin. "He said the bottles are filled with local wine instead of Ronan wine!"

Cody glared at Dustin viciously.

"Are you saying the most famous wine Majestic Hotel has is fake?" His gaze was sharp as he questioned Dustin.

"I didn't say it like that. However, these bottles of wine are indeed fake," Dustin said.

"These bottles are from the hotel's

wine cellar. How dare you call them fake? Are you questioning the quality of Majestic Hotel? Who are you? Do you dare to take responsibility for your words?

"I'm telling you now, your suspicion can be considered slander! Majestic Hotel won't just let this matter go. You have to take legal responsibility for your words!"

Cody's words became sharper and sharper as he forced Dustin into a corner.

Any normal person would have been scared out of their wits at that.noveldrama

"Hmph! He was so bold before. Let's see how he'll get out of this now." The guests were all gleefully waiting to see what would happen.

Things had gotten out of hand, and Dustin deserved it.

It was his fault for pretending to know more than he did. It was too late for him to regret it at this point.

Dustin scoffed at the act Cody was putting on, Marco's cold smirk, and the gleeful crowd.

“Mr. Siegal, is it?" Dustin eyed the chubby man. "You reminded me that this matter has to do with Majestic Hotel's reputation and should not be taken lightly.

“You're just the manager, so I have nothing to say to you. Call your boss here. I'll talk with him.”
