Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 745 Valuable Wine

Ten years ago, the wine was brewed from the first batch of wild grapes planted in the red wine factory.

Since the wild grapes were limited, so the wine was also limited. There were only one hundred bottles worldwide. As soon as the wine launched in the market, it was sold out.

Due to its limited amount, this wine was pretty costly. The first fifty bottles were sold at one million dollars each bottle. The last fifty bottles were less expensive but also were sold for several hundred thousand dollars per each.

Although it was costly, there were many wealthy people in this world, so they were still sold out.

When Jared received the call from the wine factory, he directly bought ten bottles. However, he had already finished all of them.

Since this batch of wine was sold too fast, the wine factory didn't make its information public. Therefore, most people didn't know about such a kind of wine.

However, Amber had such a bottle of wine.

Jared was surprised. She couldn't afford such a bottle of wine to her financial capabilities.

That was why he was shocked.

Amber didn't know what was in his mind. Upon hearing his words, she sat down and answered, "Yeah, it's good. I heard it's worth several hundreds of thousand dollars. It's my father's collection. I heard one of his friends gave it to him. He was reluctant to drink it, so it was left. I didn't think it was from his friend. My father liked drinking, and he also liked collecting famous wine and liquor. I guess he had bought it himself. I also don't know if this wine is worth that much money. I looked it up online but failed to find any information about it. If I hadn't known my father was a wine expert, I would have suspected he had beer deceived and bought a counterfeit and inferior-grade wine."

Amber smiled, her eyes full of nostalgia.

Jared plucked off the cork, poured some into a goblet, and gave it to her. "I don't know if your father has bought it himself, but he didn't lie about the price."

Amber's hand holding the goblet trembled. "No way! Is it really that expensive?"

"Of course." Jared poured it into his goblet and sat down. He shook the wine slightly, smelt its aroma, and continued, "It's one of the one hundred bottles in this world. The first fifty bottles were sold for one million dollars each, and the last fifty bottles were sold for several hundred thousand dollars. This one..."

Jared reached out to turn around the bottle and read the number. Raising his eyebrows, he said, "See the number fifty? This happens to be the fiftieth bottle."

"Does it mean this bottle costs one million dollars?" Amber said in a trembling tone. She gazed at the wine bottle and then her goblet, swallowing hard.

Although her father showed it off to her long ago, Amber never believed him. She thought he was bluffing as he was good at it.

However, the bottle of wine was indeed valuable.

Amber didn't think Jared deceived her because he didn't need to lie about such a thing to her.

Looking at her surprised face, Jared chuckled. "Yeah, one million dollars indeed."

One million dollars!

Amber hurriedly put down her goblet. "I won't drink it. It's so costly. One sip would cost me tens of thousands of dollars. It's a pity to drink it. I feel as if I'm not drinking wine but money. I'll feel guilty if I drink it. I need to pour it back and seal the bottle. Then it'll be passed to my later generations as the family treasure. You can't drink it either."

Then she reached out to grab Jared's goblet.

Although she was born into a wealthy family and used to drink expensive wine, she had never drunk something wine above fifty thousand dollars.

In fact, even a fifty-thousand-dollar wine was way too expensive for her, let alone a-million-dollar wine.

Anyway, she couldn't take a sip at all.

Jared didn't expect her reaction after knowing the price. She didn't only want to pour her own wine back but also wanted to grab his.

He wouldn't allow it.

Hence, Jared suddenly raised his head and gulped down the wine before Amber touched his glass.

Amber gaped at him. "Jared, why did you drink it?"

"Isn't wine brewed for drinking?" Jared asked with an innocent look and put down his goblet.

Amber looked at his empty goblet. She felt as if her heart had been gripped by a hand, raising a sharp pang in her heart. She frowned, her lips trembled, as if she would shed tears. "That's not common wine." "Oh?" Jared supported his head against the table. "What wine is it?"

"It's priceless wine!" Amber sobbed.

Jared chuckled. "No matter how valuable it is, it's for drinking. Relax, Amber."

"Of course, you don't feel anything." Amber glared at him. "It's not your wine. It's mine. Boohoo..."

Then she grabbed the wine bottle, held it tightly, and looked depressed.

Jared could tell that she felt sorry indeed. Heaving a sigh, he held her in his arms, patted her back, and coaxed her, "It's not my wine, but I've bought this before. I bought ten in total and finished them all. I didn't feel sorry. Stop it, Amber."

"You are wealthier than me. Of course, it's no big deal to you," Amber retorted in anger.

Jared's thin lips twitched.

He seemed to have used the wrong method.

However, it wasn't important.

Jared stroked the back of her head and added, "That makes sense, but you cannot think that way. You should have a different perspective."

"Which is?" Amber raised her head to look at him, still feeling sorry.

Jared thought she was too adorable. He chuckled. "You should consider its expiration date. Wine could be stored for a long time, but it would expire eventually. Think about it, if you keep the one-million-dollar wine until it's expired, would the loss be more significant than it's been drunk?"

"Yes, it would," answered Amber.

"That's right. So, we open to drink it now so it won't be expired. Then we wouldn't suffer a bigger loss. Right?" Jared said, a trace of shrewdness flashing through his eyes.

Amber was silent. She lowered her head to check on the wine in her arms. She had to admit that Jared had convinced her, so she didn't feel so concerned as earlier.

Jared had been studying her expressions all the time. He noticed that her hands holding the bottle tightly had loosened a bit.

He knew he had convinced her.

Hence, Jared reached out to take out the wine bottle and put it back on the table.

Amber still wanted to grab it back. Thinking about his words, she withdrew her hands in silence.

Then, Jared put her goblet of wine into her hands and said, "Drink it. We've opened it, anyway. It'll be a waste if you don't drink it."

Amber lowered her head to look at the red wine that emanated an intense aroma and accepted her fate.

She agreed with Jared. They had already opened it. If she poured the wine back, it wouldn't be able to be kept for a long time. In that case, it would cause a more considerable loss. Let alone the loss of one million dollars, she wouldn't be able to taste the wine in that case.

Thinking of that, Amber took a deep breath, raised her head, and gulped down the wine in her glass in one go.☐☐☐☐☐
