At the auction, an American lawyer purchased Red Leaf Winery, outbidding others with determination. He claimed to represent a company from Napa Valley, California, and registered the winery under its name.
So far, everything seems normal.
However, when hiring management and workers for Red Leaf Winery, the lawyer specifically contacted Hill's nephew Louie, offering him a high salary to work as a winemaker, which seemed unusual given Louie's moderate skills.
Louie then worked normally without contacting anyone in America, which aroused Gray and Victor's suspicion due to his relationship with Hill.
Gray reported this to Henry, who immediately sent people to investigate the Napa Valley winery.
The winery's owner was Jack Goodwin, and it mainly produced champagne. Interestingly, Goodwin had arrived in the U.S. in 1944, claimed to be a French refugee, obtained American citizenship, and within months purchased a winery in Napa Valley, renaming it Ace of Spades Winery.
