The Cole family was far from being in need of money, as they were already considered an upper-class family.
Even though Paul was just a distant relative, the family still provided him with ample funds.
However, Paul, who had always lived extravagantly, never made any attempt to save his expenses.
Paul asked Timothy for money and quickly left after paying the bill.
Timothy intentionally remarked, "Paul, I suspect that Greg deliberately ordered such expensive wine to trick you."
Even though Timothy said it in jest, he truly believed that his guess was correct.
Greg did not appear to be wealthy, and he certainly could not afford to consume such expensive wine.
Furthermore, Timothy could not recall when the wine had been served. Nonetheless, he was confident that his suspicions were accurate.
After settling the six hundred thousand dollars, Paul was fully aware that he had been tricked.
