True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 168

The moment Winnie began to spill the beans, the live chat went dead silent.

It was only after she revealed the truth behind the so–called Breakup Curse that the virtual dam burst open, unleashing a torrent of vitriol.

“I thought I believed in love again, but reality is just repulsive!”

“So this is what they mean by profiting off others‘ pain, huh?!”

“The girls you duped are just down on their luck!”

“I can’t even… she said the wite’s spirit stayed because she missed Carter, wanting to be near him, only to witness him betray her, step by step!”

“I had a gut feeling his act was a bit too much. How could so many fall for it?”

“What a total jerk!”

The more the B&B owner, Carter, had been idolized online, the harsher the backlash was now.

Carter stood there, dumbfounded, as Winnie narrated how he’d manipulated the sympathy of these girls to get them into bed. He felt the judgmental stares – some contemptuous, some disdainful. Though they no longer suspected him for his wife’s death, those looks were hard to stomach.

Facing the live stream camera, he knew he was in deep trouble. But he wasn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. He’d been a shoestring traveler for years, and now, he’d built a business, amassed a following, even trademarked his B&B, with plans to expand.
