The host of this cocktail party, Jason, was one of the wealthiest businessmen in New York City.
He was the 35th richest person in New York City.
This was an incredible amount of wealth.
New York was the capital of the world, and there were countless wealthy people in it.
Except for the first-tier wealthy people, the difference between the other wealthy people is insignificant. However, Jason had reached the 35th place, which showed that he was quite wealthy, too.
Jason mentioned he had brought many fine wines that could not be bought in the market.
Everyone knew the purpose of this. Jason wanted to make friends.
Of course, it was only limited to women.
Kota knew this like the back of his hand.
The tycoon in front of him was like the emperor in his new clothes—he was naked in Kota's eyes.

His desires had nowhere to hide in front of Kota.
Soon, he lost his interest.
He only wanted to end this cocktail party as soon as possible. After all, the beauty could not wait anymore, it seemed.
Catherine had the same thinking, too. After all, that engagement was suffocating her. She wanted to end it as soon as possible.
Kota casually picked up a glass of red wine from a waitstaff.
He took a sip.
"The wine is deep in color with rich aroma, body balanced, delicate, and rich. There are aromas of ripe black currants, pears, chocolate, milk, truffles, and many kinds of oak."
Hearing Kota muttering to himself about his thought of the red wine, Catherine became curious.
This rich kid seemed to know a thing or two about wine.
Red wine knowledge was something every rich family needed to be equipped with.
Every family member would have to attend countless wine receptions in their lifetime. If they knew nothing about wines, they would be regarded as uneducated.
Apparently, Catherine also knew a thing or two about wine.
"Oh? Then can you taste what year and brand of red wine this is?"
"Petrus, 1990. Why?"
Catherine snatched the wineglass from Kota's hand, placed it under her nose and sniffed it, then took a sip.
Sure enough.
Catherine still knew a little about red wine like Petrus.
So it did not take long before Catherine confirmed Kota's assessment was right.
But there was nothing to shout about.
It only proved that Kota was born well.
Petrus itself was not rare, but it was rarely available on the market as it was a rich man's specialty that average persons could not afford. It sold for more than £20,000 per carton, and it overtook all the other Bordeaux wine in terms of quality and price to become the true king of wine.
At Sotheby's Hong Kong auction, a single sale of 114 bottles of wine became the most expensive wine auction in history, selling for $1.6 million, or $14,121 per bottle, or $1,700 per glass.
This was the world of the rich.
But it was certainly not the theme of tonight's reception.
Not long after, Catherine's fiancé appeared in their line of sight.
This man was good-looking, but was far inferior to Kota.
In terms of temperament, he was even worse.
And Kota also saw his desire list.
Name: John
Gender: Male
Age: 29 years old
Health: 78 points
Desire list: [1. As soon as Catherine drinks the red wine served by the waitstaff, she will be my woman tonight.]
[2. After that, I will tell Catherine that helping her family tide over the difficulties was just a scam to annex her family's business.]
[3. The man whom Catherine was holding on to must be punished. My woman is not allowed to hold on to another man.]

Kota could not help but feel disgusted upon seeing this.
It seemed that John was Catherine's fiancé, and their engagement was just a verbal one, which was why that guy displayed such a strong attitude.
The two families were not as friendly behind closed-doors as in public.
It was just a show.
John's family still wanted to annex Catherine's family's business.
Their marriage was just a smokescreen to confuse the opponent.
Besides, it seemed that that guy was coming looking for trouble with him.
But with the desire list, things became much easier.
Knowing the other party's thoughts, he could quickly find a strategy to deal with him.
This man called John must learn his lesson.
So Kota thought.
On the side, Catherine subconsciously held on to Kota's arm.
Keta could sense the anger in Catherine from the strength of her grip.
No way such a woman would want to submit and be at the mercy of others.
He had come up with such a crazy revenge plan since he met such a person.
Even if she had to marry this man, he wanted to humiliate him and make him a cuckold—a shame that this man would never be able to get rid of for the rest of his life.
"How interesting!"
Kota looked at the two in front of him and thought that it was interesting.
If it was in the past, he would never have thought that such an icy beauty could be so crafty.
However, Kota was still looking forward to Catherine's revenge after the matter was settled.
After all, if he did not help her get through this difficult situation, Catherine would definitely change her mind.
So Kota already had a plan.
Yes. The soap.
Kota had thought of an interesting idea.
This was the reward that the system gave him earlier.
At first, Kota did not give a second thought about this reward. He just threw it aside.
But since it was the reward given by the system, it would be that simple.
Before throwing it away, Kota examined it carefully and soon discovered a secret.
A "Soap Project" unfolded in his mind.
