True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 144

When two of the most influential people in the Bryant family spoke up, there was no more debate

The matter concerning Cutler was decided.

None of the others in the Bryant family dared to object, and Hobson, the one who had started. the whole mess, was left dumbfounded.

He’d even forgotten about the spell Winnie had slapped on him.

For the first time, there was a glimmer of relief, a kind of guilty pleasure in his heart. Compared. to Cutler, his spell was insignificant, a stroke of luck really.

But this latest episode with Winnie’s outburst, along with the clear stances taken by Clifford and Bacchus, had driven home the point that Winnie was not to be trifled with. And if anyone did fancy stirring the pot. they’d better weigh the cost they’d have to bear.

Hobson wasn’t sure what the others thought, but as for himself, he was thoroughly wilted.

From this point on, he wouldn’t dare cross Winnie. He wouldn’t even dare to make any snide

remarks.

After all, Hobson couldn’t even speak to Winnie now.

With his head hung low, Hobson had never been so miserable.

Perhaps his dejected look elicited some sympathy, for the others finally shifted their attention back to Hobson, especially Leonie.

“Winnie, I know you’ve been wronged, but Hobson meant no harm. Maybe you could…” she ventured.

“Don’t worry.” Winnie interrupted, her gaze flicking coolly towards Hobson. “As long as he doesn’t even think about speaking to me, he’ll be able to talk just fine.”

Skeptical, but unable to believe Winnie would lie in front of so many, Hobson tried to talk to Amber, who was sitting across from him.

He opened his mouth cautiously, “Amber?”

To his astonishment, words came out. He touched his mouth in surprise, then turned to Leonie. “Mom! I’m cured!”

Then, he spun towards Bacchus, “Bacchus!… Uh…”

His voice faltered again, and his eyes widened in frustration.

Before he could protest, Winnie coolly added, “Speaking about me to others is also off–limits.”
