They Regretted My Finest Grapes

The Story

Ethan spent three years managing his stepbrother’s vineyard, generating five million dollars while pocketing a mere five thousand. The Black family dismissed him as a charity-fed pruner. After renting the abandoned Devil’s Ridge, his stepbrother chased a major contract. This push caused overproduction that ruined the vines right before a heatwave struck. The Black vines perished under the scorching heat. Meanwhile, Ethan’s revived old vines survived. They ultimately produced the region’s finest grapes.
