True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 135

Initially, the Hendersons were thought to be well–off, and some even ventured to say that Winnie wouldn’t be at a loss, even if she had been stolen or bought by them.

But upon reflection, it dawned on everyone that without the Hendersons‘ intervention, Winnie’s own kin might have provided her with an even better life.

The live stream had been promptly shut down when the Henderson couple was taken away, yet the viewers, still hungry for more, took to Twitter, flooding the show’s comment section with discussions about the day’s events.

All of which had nothing to do with Winnie.

On her way home. Winnie had learned from Bailey about the commotion in the chatroom earlier, with the massive donations pouring in.

She was indeed taken aback when she saw the donor list on the stream replay.

Hector, even the Supernatural Department, were predictable, but the personal donation from Drake was beyond her expectations.

Yet upon some thought, it all made sense. Boss Drake must have chipped in out of respect for her brother. Or perhaps, it was Horace, who had dragged him into the fray to bolster her.

Thinking of Horace’s modus operandi, she considered it well within the realm of possibility.

A faint smile played on her lips as Winnie opened her phone to thank Drake.

Drake, pondering who might be behind the Hendersons‘ downfall, was snapped out of his thoughts by the ping of an incoming message.

Seeing the sender’s name, he couldn’t help but wonder if she knew about his contribution. His fingers tapped the screen, and his expression turned complex at the sight of the message.

How should he feel? The message was indeed what he expected but also not quite.
