Chapter 302
“Yes, I’ve heard of her. She’s the youngest famous wine taster, and I can’t hold a candle to her. But
you’re saying you’re Rarity? Quit kidding around!” The wine taster burst into hearty laughter, convinced
that Pearl was simply boasting.
Pearl maintained her composure and smiled. “Why would I joke about being Rarity?”
“Rarity gained fame at an international wine-tasting event three years ago and earned the moniker
‘God’s Tongue.’ Haven’t you seen that video? Although my appearance has changed somewhat since
then, I’m certain you’d still recognize me.” Pearl’s explanation left the wine taster feeling awkward.
The onlookers, now intrigued, quickly went online to search for the video. The footage was crystal
clear, capturing the faces of everyone present, including Rarity, who had been nominated and honored

“It’s really Pearl!”
“What an incredible honor to have an internationally renowned wine taster at this event!”
“She’s not a country bumpkin, but Miss Rarity. We should punish those who spread the rumors!”
“The Jordan family’s granddaughter is Rarity? They must be so proud!”
The comments seemed endless.
Pearl maintained a composed expression as she turned to the wine taster, revealing her face.” See for
yourself. Is it me? Although that wine event is famous, most people wouldn’t pay much attention to it
since it’s unrelated to their daily lives, much like how many folks don’t know that Will-Aleks is now the
King of Grouce.”
With that, she regarded the wine taster curiously. “Is something wrong? Aren’t you an internationally
renowned wine taster? How could you be unaware of this?”
Humiliated, the wine taster had exaggerated his identity out of insecurity, as he was merely a
moderately famous wine taster. Indeed, he had heard rumors about Rarity’s fame but had never
personally encountered her.
“I apologize, Miss Rarity. It’s my mistake, and I shouldn’t have doubted your judgment.” Though he had
been arrogant, he corrected his error and humbled himself before someone of higher standing.
Pearl forgave him and advised, “Next time, please taste the wine before passing judgment. As a wine
taster, it’s essential to develop a refined palate.”
Being a man in his late thirties, it was a first for him to receive such a lesson from a twenty- year-old
woman. Although he found it somewhat hard to accept, he did so gracefully.

earned this glass.”
Pearl accepted the glass with a gracious smile. “Thank you.”
Following this incident, Pearl sensed a shift in everyone’s attitude towards her, particularly
the man who had previously dismissed her as a country bumpkin. Now, he was eager to approach her
and offer flattering conversation.
But Pearl glared at him and walked straight to Blake. Tossing him the glass, she remarked, ” Here you
go. It’s the glass you wanted. Just remember, you owe me one.”
Blake had yet to recover from his shock, and Glenn appeared equally stunned.
“So, you’re Rarity. Well, it seems we can’t judge a book by its cover.” Glenn smiled and teased
Pearl.
Looking into Glenn’s eyes, Pearl smiled brightly. “Can’t a pretty girl be a wine taster?”
Glenn was moved, unable to resist her smile. “Yes, you’re quite pretty.” He even wondered why Richard
got so lucky.
