Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Zara couldn't stop gushing about Chloe's privileged background. If she had the same advantages, she figured she could have been just as confident and assertive. "Some folks are born to work hard, but you were born with a silver spoon. Gotta give you props for that..."

Chloe smiled, feeling a bit helpless. "Zara, come on, I don't see it that way. Sure, I was born into a good family, but doesn't that mean I still chose to be friends with you? And isn't it fun for us to hustle together?"

Zara nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, making money with you is a blast."

"Oh, by the way, Chloe, if our company partners with Adelaide, we could be a top-tier business in our circle within two years."

Zara, influenced by Chloe, was now fully invested in their business. She had already experienced the thrill of making money.

Chloe reassured her, "Don't worry, we'll make money step by step. As long as we keep growing steadily, we'll definitely earn a lot. Keep it up, Zara."noveldrama

As they chatted, the car pulled up to the address Adelaide had given them. Zara parked, and they both got out and headed inside.

Once inside, they realized it wasn't a hotel or a mansion, but a private wine club.

Private wine sanctuaries like these were typically not open to the public, for the individuals behind their creation were not in need of financial gain. They had long transcended the realm of profiting from such establishments.

The very essence of crafting such an exclusive space was to provide a sanctuary where equals within their sphere can convene, converse, and cultivate connections. It was less about the clinking of glasses and more about the symphony of minds meeting in an ambiance as refined as the vintages they savor.

Of course, not just anyone could come to places like this. A single glass of wine could cost tens of thousands of dollars, and a casual evening could easily rack up hundreds of thousands in wine.

Chloe, who lived in the Martin Mansion, wasn't familiar with such places.

Zara's family was well-off, and the Gibson family had some standing in Sovereign City, but even Zara's uncle Brian didn't have the privilege to come here.

Zara had heard Brian mention such high-end places in Sovereign City. The courtyard was exquisitely decorated, with intricate carvings and picturesque landscapes, resembling a hidden paradise in the bustling city.

Zara's was shocked. "Chloe, what kind of connections does Adelaide have to get us in here?

This is my first time in such a fancy place. Once we're inside, you have to get me a glass of that expensive wine, okay?"

Chloe felt a bit exasperated seeing Zara like this. Wine was nice, but she wasn't particularly fond of it and didn't drink much.

Since she was fifteen, Nicholas had hired a professional sommelier to teach her about wine at the Davis Family estate. The Davis Family had a wine cellar filled with various wines.

Chloe had learned well from her sommelier. She could tell where a wine was from and its value just by smelling it.

She teased Zara, "Look at you. Don't worry, I'll get you a big glass so you can drink to your heart's content."

Zara, holding Chloe's arm, said happily, "You're the best."

A few minutes later, they arrived at the club's entrance. The security was particularly strict, likely because the people inside were all big shots.

As soon as Chloe and Zara approached, the security guards stopped them. "Excuse me, ladies. Who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"

The guard was polite. Chloe replied, "We're here to see Aurelia. She called me earlier..." Before Chloe could finish, Claudia, dressed to the nines, came out of the club. She seemed to have had quite a bit to drink, her face flushed.

Seeing Chloe and Zara, Claudia's expression changed slightly. "You're here to see Aurelia?"

Chloe didn't have a good impression of Claudia. Last time, Claudia had called her a nobody. But since Chloe was here to see Adelaide, she didn't want to say anything harsh.

Chloe nodded. "Yes, I'm here to see Aurelia."

Claudia sneered. "I have to say, your business sense is sharp. Aurelia just arrived in Sovereign City this afternoon, and you're already here tonight."

"Do you think your poor company can sign Aurelia? Do you even know your place?"

Claudia had some standing in their circle. Her words immediately made the guards more alert. "Are you reporters? If so, leave. You're not welcome here."

"No, we're not reporters. We're here to see Aurelia..." Chloe quickly denied being a reporter when she saw the guards about to chase them away.

Claudia snorted, "See Aurelia? You think someone of Aurelia's caliber is someone you can just meet?"

"Not to brag, but even I am just a novice in front of Aurelia."

"Leave now. Considering you're from the Davis Family, I won't say anything too harsh." Claudia was somewhat considerate, not wanting to fall out with Chloe, knowing the Davis Family had money. Money was power, and even though she was influential, money was her backer.

Of course, once the budget Grant had her work on was done, Chloe would become her investor.

But Claudia's attitude annoyed Zara. This wasn't the first time Claudia had been unfriendly to Chloe.

Zara reminded her, "Claudia, since you know Chloe is from the Davis Family, you should be more polite. We're really here to see Aurelia. It has nothing to do with you."

Claudia's face turned cold at Zara's blunt words. She crossed her arms, showing off her valuable emerald bracelet.

Attending such high-end gatherings, Claudia had to wear her most valuable items, or she'd be outshone by others.

"So what if she's from the Davis Family? Do you think money can get you a meeting with Aurelia?"

"Her aloofness is well-known in our circle. And as far as I know, she despises uninvited guests like you."

"Even if you're from the Davis Family, Aurelia won't give you any face. She's the only woman I've met who can't be swayed by money."
