“Then wine won’t you give me the seal? Are you afraid I’ll take it all for myself?=
Archie sighed theatrically, feigning disappointment. “Forget it. Since it belongs to the Russell family, I won’t touch it, then ”

Although Pete was slightly surprised that he had succeeded so quickly, he simply replied with a single word, “Okay.”
Seeing the response, Archie’s last bit of anxiety melted away completely. He couldn’t help but laugh aloud, already envisioning himself standing at the pinnacle of power and wealth.
