“Xav, this red wine is delicious.”

Josephine said this just loudly enough for everyone at the table to hear.

Alfred laughed. “Yes, the red wine Xavier brought is excellent. I mentioned this brand and vintage last time we spoke, and I can’t believe you remembered.”

“This wine must be hard to find, isn’t it?

Collectors wouldn’t sell it for less than a few million.

After you gave me that villa worth hundreds of millions, and now you bring me these rare, expensive bottles of wine… Xavier, you’re making an old man like me blush.”

Xavier smiled, “Mr. Jenkins, compared to the painting you so generously parted with, a villa worth hundreds of mil- lions and wine worth millions are nothing.”

Hearing this, Alfred sighed softly, glanced at Aveline, and then said,

“Now I’m starting to have some regrets.‘

Peter, who was sitting next to him, laughed. “What kind of famous painting makes you regret trading it for a villa worth hundreds of millions from Mr. Beltran?”

Alfred smiled wryly. “This painting has never been publicly displayed. If it ever is, it will cause a sensation in the art world and be hailed as a generational masterpiece.”

“I’m getting old and starting to think about what to do with my collection. When Xavier offered to trade the villa de- signed by Bernard for it, I felt he truly understood the painting’s charm and value and would cherish it. That’s the only reason I parted with it.”

Xavier smiled. “Rest assured, Mr. Jenkins. I will absolutely treasure the painting and ensure it has the best home.”

“Besides, Mr. Jenkins, this villa designed by Mr. Clarke is a great work of art in its own right. Aveline is an expert on the subject, you can ask her.”

Although it was Xavier who had suddenly mentioned her name, Aveline didn’t look at him, speaking directly to Al- fred instead.

“The house Bernard designed is truly a marvelous piece of art.”

Aveline analyzed it not just from an architect’s point of view, but also with her understanding of art, making Alfred’s eyes brighten as he nodded repeatedly.

Aveline knew the’s construction was top–notch, and with Bernard’s design on top of that, the villa was now a famous

piece of architecture. In a hundred or a thousand years, its value wouldn’t be something you could measure in money.

No wonder Alfred would accept.

Alfred said to Sebastian, “Aveline isn’t just a professional in architecture; she has a great eye for art, too. It’s no won- der you

think so highly of her at such a young age, enough to put her on the Crestmark project.”

Sebastian glanced at Aveline with a smile, then raised his glass to Alfred’s. “Once the resort’s landscaping is com- plete, you’ll have to come see it. Stay for a while, clear your head.”

Alfred sipped his drink and nodded. “I’ll definitely have to go see it.”

Fiona glanced at Josephine and saw her expression wasn’t great. She scoffed inwardly, then said with a smile,

“Mr. Jenkins, Aveline is the lead architect for the Mount Ardwood Theme Park, too.”

Alfred paused, looking over at Aveline. “I heard a while back that Bernard had turned down that project, which I thought was a shame. Then I heard he’d recommended an architect. So it was you.”

Then he looked over at Xavier. “How come you never mentioned it?”

Xavier smiled faintly. “I’m surprised you know so much about the’s projects, Mr. Jenkins.”
