Chapter 28
“This is such good wine!”
After just one sip, Charles, the old wine enthusiast, was completely intoxicated.
“Charles, you should pay attention to your image.” Maya frowned as she looked at Charles who was lying on the ground like a dog.
But immediately, Hayley’s third uncle rushed forward and also knelt down to drink.
Who cared about their image? This drop of wine was worth ten times more than gold. Not drinking it would be foolish!
Moreover, they could only drink this once in their lifetime.
Hayley’s cousins also joined in, all competing to drink from the spilled wine on the ground.
“Leave some for me!”
Even Cole couldn’t maintain his composure and rushed forward to compete for the wine.
They looked extremely undignified, lying on the ground and fighting over the spilled wine, while a crowd of relatives watched on.
But they were happier than anyone else, laughing heartily while competing for the wine.
Wyatt smiled faintly. Perhaps this was the joy of a man.
On the other hand, Maya’s face turned black with anger, while Hayley looked shocked.
The wine brought by Wyatt had caused such a scene. Could it really be genuine aged Moutai?
“Cole, have you no shame?” Maya shouted angrily.
“You fool, what does a woman like you know? This is 50 years old Moutai, something not even the mayor can get a sip of!” Cole shouted back.
“Is this real?” Maya was stunned.
“Of course it’s real.”
Cole pounded his chest and stomped his feet. “But it’s a shame it’s broken. Who gave this wine? Was it William?”
William’s face turned as red as a tomato.
“No, it wasn’t Mr. Porter. It was given by Wyatt to Grandpa,” Hayley said with a complex

gaze, wondering where Wyatt got the aged Moutai from.
“Given by Wyatt?” Cole and the other elders of the Lawson family looked at Wyatt in shock.
They had treated Wyatt poorly, but he still brought such good wine to Derek. Cole felt a twinge of guilt.
“Go in and see Grandpa. He often talks about you,” Cole said to Wyatt.
Wyatt nodded and entered the courtyard, where he met Derek. Derek immediately grasped Wyatt’s hand, tears shimmering in his old eyes.
“Wyatt, the Lawsons have wronged you.” Derek held Wyatt’s hand tightly.
Wyatt understood. Derek probably already knew about the divorce.

“It’s okay. You’ll always be my grandpa.” Wyatt smiled.
Hayley’s rise to power was unstoppable. Hayley Pharmaceutical was flourishing, and the entire Lawson family was ingratiating themselves with them. Derek had no say anymore.
During the banquet, the Lawson family was in high spirits, with almost everyone fawning over Hayley and William.
Only Wyatt felt like an outsider, being sidelined.
Although Wyatt had brought aged Moutai, it didn’t change anything. The Porterworks Corporation behind William was Hayley’s biggest supporter.
“Three days ago, Hayley signed a ten billion contract with the Moore family. This news has shaken the entire business community of Daya,” Maya said, smiling from ear to ear.
“It’s all thanks to Mr. Porter.” Cole was grateful. “I heard that the Moore family wanted to eliminate Hayley Pharmaceutical, but William used his connections to make the Moore family choose Hayley Pharmaceutical.”
“Yes, we owe today’s success to Mr. Porter’s efforts!” Maya was also filled with emotion.
Matthew exclaimed excitedly, “I propose that everyone in the Lawson family stand up and toast William!”
