True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 142

At that moment, Springer felt like he finally got it and had to step up his game to match Horace. So Springer chimed in with a compliment too. “Well done, Winnie! You own your actions like at boss!”

The other elders of the Bryant family were speechless.

They couldn’t help but notice that with their reduced presence at home, the younger members of the Bryant family seemed to have changed.

Leonie cleared her throat and looked at Winnie, but instead of accusing her outright, she said, “Winnie, did Hobson upset you? If he’s been bullying you, you can talk to me, you know.”

Even though Leonie wasn’t openly blaming Winnie, the implication was that Winnie had retaliated against a family member over some petty grievance.

It was too easy for the rest of the family to become wary of Winnie.

Cutler, who had been silent until now, frowned and confronted her. “Winnie! No matter what, Hobson is still your family! You lash out at him just like that. Are we not family to you anymore? If someone else ticks you off, are you going to go after them, too?”

Cutler hit the nail on the head.

Even the others didn’t have a grudge against Winnie who had returned out of the blue, they couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive now.

When Winnie took action against Hobson, she had already anticipated this reaction.

Once you crossed certain lines, even if you did nothing more, others couldn’t help but fear you.

But Winnie was indeed fed up. She had put up with Kathryn for eighteen years, but now that the karmic ties with the Henderson family were severed, she was done with playing nice.

To make an example of someone, Hobson had to be sacrificed today.

“Don’t worry, this spell won’t harm him. As long as he doesn’t try to talk to me, he can speak normally to anyone else.”

“Is this about whether or not he can speak?” Cutler raised his voice, “This is about you raising a hand against a family member!”
