True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 203

As soon as Winnie spoke, the guests who had been thinking of smoothing things over suddenly fell silent.

For some reason, I believed her when she said it. Don’t ask why, and it’s just that she has a certain sixth sense.”

“Oh man, Joseph could be in for a scandal..”

“Seventeen, still a minor. What could he possibly do?”

1 know. Joseph was just seventeen when he starred in “Breeze of Youth,” his first lead role, and it was that gig that really put him on the map.”

“Back then, I totally shipped him with Raines.”

“All that shipping will be the death of you.”

“No, it just means I have a well–rounded appetite for celebrity gossip.”

“Could Winnie be hinting that Joseph and Raines were together?”

“If that’s true, I support it.”

These topics might be sensitive back home, but there was no shortage of celebs who built their fanbase on such rumors, though they usually just played along for the cameras. Real–deal cases were rare, and those who dared to bring it into the light were even rarer.

When Joseph heard Winnie mention being seventeen, he paled slightly. Despite trying to stay cool, his youth betrayed him, and he couldn’t quite hide his emotions. To anyone observing, it screamed ‘guilty conscience.‘

“What could I possibly have done, Winnie? I don’t know what I did to upset you, but I’ve always admired you,” he said.

Perhaps fearing that saying more would only worsen things, Joseph quickly conceded, “Forget it, let’s just say it was my fault. You’ve all worked hard this morning, go get some rest

With that, he turned and walked away with a mix of dejection and feigned magnanimity on his face, leaving the guests and crew exchanging bewildered looks.

Sean was particularly confused. “Why’s he talking so weird?”

He hadn’t mingled much with people, so he wasn’t familiar with the kind of talk called ‘nice guy‘ spiel.

But even if he didn’t get it, plenty in the live stream’s chat did.
