Chapter 211

When Winnie whisked Sean away, Mervin was still in a daze.

It was rare for him to show such a blank expression, and even Bagot couldn’t help but come over to check on him.

Mervin just stared at Bagot, “Mr. Bagot, did you know that Ms. Bryant is actually the famous Master Winner?”

Bagot was taken aback, unsure how to explain that he had been in the dark at first. He only knew that the lucky sod Baily had stumbled upon a true master and had forked over a hefty sum for twenty life–saving charms.

As for this Master Winner, he’d only learned about it from Mervin.

But he had kept mum.

Seeing Bagot’s silence, Mervin took it as confirmation and a tinge of regret crossed his face.

“If I’d known you had invited Master Winner, I wouldn’t have overestimated myself and joined the program.”

No wonder Mervin master had made a point of tipping Master Bryant. He’d never given Mervin a tip.

Listening to Mervin, Bagot was perplexed.

What was going on?

His sixth guest hadn’t even shown up, and this one seemed ready to bow out. That simply

wouldn’t do.

He hurriedly pulled Mervin aside for a heart–to–heart.

Meanwhile, Winnie and Sean were en route to the airport in the vehicle arranged by the show’s team, just as Gentry zoomed past them in the opposite direction.

Noticing Sean’s gaze linger on Gentry, Winnie remembered his earlier claim that he hadn’t been the one to save Gentry in the mountains and decided to probe.
