Chapter 517 Sending Wine to Humiliate Wynter
Judging by Yvette’s demeanor, Charlie believed he might have been overthinking things.
With Yvette nestled in his arms, Charlie contemplated finding a moment to speak with Wynter after the
gathering.
He hadn’t forgotten the advice his father gave him back in Southdale. If he could win over Wynter, perhaps they could use that as leverage to get in good with the Secretary–General, Lucas Keller.
Moreover, he had to admit that Wynter was still as beautiful as he remembered.
He doubted that Wynter had already moved on from him. Otherwise, why would she choose to be with a gigolo instead of pursuing a serious relationship?
With those thoughts in mind, Charlie began to devise a plan. “Don’t worry, Yvette. I’ll send over a bottle of wine to Wynter as a gesture of goodwill. That’ll preserve your sister’s dignity.”
Charlie’s plan was simple. By sending wine to Wynter, he could highlight her new boyfriend’s stinginess and subtly let her know of his presence at the restaurant.
Yvette was taken aback. “You want to send her wine?”
“If you’re against it, just forget it. It’s entirely up to you,” Charlie replied, eager to assert himself without revealing his true intentions.
However, Yvette was too focused on her own scheme to worry about Charlie’s motives. Sending wine seemed like the perfect way to embarrass Wynter.
“No, you’re right. We should send wine to Wynter to remind her of the treatment she deserves,” Yvette
said, feigning concern for Wynter’s well–being, Secretly, she was relishing the chance to chowcase her
fiancé’s generosity.
Aware of the potential embarrassment, Charlie’s companions eagerly anticipated Wynter’s reaction when she received the bottle of wine.
Yvette couldn’t contain her joy any longer and quickly made the request, instructing the waiter, “If they decline, just say it’s from her future brother–in–law.”
Initially, the waiter hesitated, feeling awkward about delivering a bottle of wine from a lower–class private room to a higher–class one.
However, when Yvette mentioned “brother–in–law“,

When Charlie and his companions heard the waiter’s reply, they couldn’t help but chuckle. “This restaurant sure has lots of rules and regulations. We’re just trying to send a bottle of wine, yet they have to follow a whole procedure.”
Clearly, those with less exposure tended to think less. Although Charlie and his companions were all alumni of a top college, they failed to realize that the waiter’s caution indicated how special Dalton’s

status was.
After all, Dalton was the restaurant’s honored guest. Even the restaurant’s owner wouldn’t dare to disturb him during his meal, let alone send him a bottle of wine from an unknown stranger.
When the waiter conveyed Yvette’s request to his manager, his manager promptly dismissed it as absurd.
However, the waiter voiced concern that Charlie might genuinely be Dalton’s future brother–in–law.
After all, in a city like Kingbourne, it wouldn’t be uncommon for someone to be related to the Yarwood family. Moreover, the waiter doubted anyone would dare to impersonate Dalton Yarwood’s relative.
The potential risk of offending Dalton if Charlie truly was his future brother–in–law made the manager reconsider. Thus, he decided to seek guidance from the restaurant owner.
Meanwhile, in Dalton’s private room, Wolf savored his iced coke and meal.
At the same time, Tobias received a notification from his show crew. They informed him that they needed to edit out some inappropriate scenes for airing purposes, necessitating retakes.
Reluctant to leave the dinner halfway, Tobias hesitated. As a celebrity, privacy was scarce, especially during private moments.
However, no media dared to photograph him when he dined with Dalton–except for one incident, which led to the accusation of career advancement through dining with senior executives.
