Chapter 649
Seeing the keys in his hand, Rowan burst into loud laughter.
Rowan thought, ‘Danny, what does it matter now even if you’re famous? I’m the one with wealth and a future as a winemaking genius.
“Just keep living your life with your sick daughter! No, she probably won’t even live for another three months, judging by her condition.
“When she died, you wouldn’t survive either, and at that point, the winemaking industry would truly belong to me.”
When Owen promoted and packaged him, Rowan would become a renowned winemaker in the country. Rowan thought, “What’s Danny compared to me? Just a helpless father caring for a dying daughter.
Rowan laughed wildly. He hadn’t gone far when he saw a BMW parked at the entrance. He pressed the key, and the car lights flashed, making him even more excited. He immediately got inside and felt the real leather seat, ecstatic beyond measure.
“This is more like it for me,” Rowan said.
He then looked at his clothes and realized he needed to buy a couple of outfits to match his new
status.
With that, Rowan drove to the mall to get some new clothes, then went to the villa.
Seeing the magnificent high–end villa before him, Rowan couldn’t help but pound the steering wheel. Owen hadn’t lied to him. He was indeed heading toward the pinnacle of his life. Opportunities came once he left Danny. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had a chance to live here. Once inside the villa, the butler, already informed of Rowan’s arrival, greeted him courteously, “Hello, Mr. Blanchard. Mr. Anderson has instructed that this will be your residence. If you have any requests, please let us know. These are the cooks and servants we have arranged for you.”
The butler clapped his hands, and four women walked out. Rowan’s mouth widened in a grin upon seeing them.
“Alright, I’ll take a look myself,” Rowan said. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Seeing the joy on Rowan’s face, the butler’s eyes flashed with disdain. The butler thought, ‘Such a bumpkin didn’t deserve to stay here!’
He shook his head and ignored Rowan, turning to the cooks and servants, saying, “Remember your place, and don’t forget who your boss is,”
“Yes, we understand.”

They were aware they were working for Owen, so as long as they could deal with Rowan, that was enough for them.
At that moment, Rowan lay on the plush bed in the master bedroom. The soft bed made him. daydream about whether he could start dating, embracing a woman, and having an intimate life. It was a tantalizing thought.
Having followed Danny for so long with nothing to show for it, Rowan was now set with a car, house, and a 400–thousand–dollar annual salary once he worked for Owen. He was now someone of status. Rowan grew more excited and immediately posted a photo on Instagram, intentionally showing Danny how successful he had become.
Danny, however, was too busy to notice. He had found a doctor for Stella and was just waiting for Nelson to return. Meanwhile, Danny began preparing for winemaking-
Even though Valerie hadn’t explicitly mentioned it, Danny’s spirits were clearly lifted.
Once Valerie left, Danny started preparing the ingredients for winemaking. The butler looked surprised. “We’re starting now?”
Danny said, “Yes, since they’ve arranged to find a doctor, I can’t just sit idly by. As long as there’s a glimmer of hope for Stella to recover, even if she can’t speak, I’ll accept it.
“If it is to rely on me, I won’t have another chance to see Mr. Olson in my lifetime. If I’ve received help. I need to reciprocate.”
Seeing Danny’s face turn noticeably rosy with excitement, the butler nodded. “Well, then it’s just about winemaking. I’ll help you gather everything you need.”
The butler had worked with Danny for years and was ready to assist him.
Danny made a list. “Get all these items together. We can buy additional things as needed later.”
Seeing Danny so motivated, the butler’s eyes sparkled, and he was pleased.
He had watched Danny worry about Stella’s illness every day, feeling sorry for him. Now that Stella finally had hope for recovery, the butler was happy too.
Thinking back to how he almost turned Valerie and Mathew away, the butler patted his head, relieved they had prepared thoroughly and that Danny was willing to meet them. Everything was going well.
As for Rowan, who couldn’t keep his cool, he might not have the chance to come back to Danny even if he wanted to.
The butler quickly gathered all the materials Danny needed.
He also went to Valerie’s winery and saw the grapes and fresh fruits that had been prepared. He nodded approvingly. “I didn’t expect you to have such a rich selection of ingredients.”
Valerie said, “These fruits are from Wrexton. If we succeed, we will ensure the quality of the fruits.

“These grapes were already here on the estate. With ample sunlight this year, they’ve grown very
well.”
Danny was very satisfied. “The raw materials are top–notch, so the fruit wine will definitely taste. good.
“I’ve also collected a number of fruit wine recipes over the years. They should come in handy. I hope the brewing will be successful this time.”
Valerie was excited. “It will definitely work.”
Brewing wine required not only quality materials but also precise temperature control, which required meticulous work.
With Danny here, Valerie was at ease. She watched and recorded the
he process.
Danny’s winemaking methods were different from those of other winemakers. He meticulously handled various fruits, fermentation, and dozens of steps, whereas previous winemakers only knew to wash the fruit and add water or other ingredients, without such complexity.
Valerie realized the complexity of fruit wine production. Danny was indeed a master, refining every
step.
When it came to fermentation, Danny said to Valerie, “With this weather, fermentation will take three days. We can’t proceed until then.”
“No problem. Mr. Olson will be back soon. Mr. Morse, you should rest for now.”
“Okay. Once the first batch is done, we can do a light tasting. The longer the wine is brewed, the different the flavor. We can have both aromatic and light types. Fruit wine should not be too strong at first, or it will be too intoxicating.”
Valerie agreed, surprised by Danny’s thoroughness. She quickly nodded. “We’ll do as you say.”
Danny took a deep breath, relieved that Valerie had no objections.
Valerie gave him full autonomy, and Danny felt confident. When he returned, the butler rushed up as soon as he opened the door. “Mr. Morse, something’s wrong.”
“Is Stella in trouble?” Danny asked.
His heart sank, and he feared the worst for Stella. His legs almost gave way.
The butler shook his head and said, “No. While organizing the cabinet, I discovered that a box you insisted on protecting is missing. I remember it was inside, but now it’s gone!”
Danny frowned deeply and thought, ‘A box?”
He suddenly thought of something and rushed inside, pushing open the cabinet, only to find it
