True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 213

Nadine was simmering with resentment, blaming Winnie for her missed opportunity to go on a European study tour. It felt like a classic case of Bacchus‘ favoritism.

Leonie had a throbbing headache from the commotion and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of anger towards Winnie. It wasn’t that she blamed her for warning about the potential dangers of the trip, and it was more the frustration that Winnie, with all her mystical prowess, could surely avert any disaster. Yet, she chose to let the fear of possible mishaps prevent Nadine from going on a once–in–a–lifetime adventure.

If no one was going, it would be fine, but some kids were still set to jet off to Europe, and that made Leonie’s heart sink.

As Winnie descended the grand staircase, Leonie’s emotions got the better of her, and a slight scowl crossed her face.

Winnie, as if she hadn’t noticed, simply stepped around them and headed for the door. But Nadine spotted her and bolted in front, her face red with anger.

“It’s you. You’re doing this on purpose. Why can’t I go on the trip? I hate you.”

Though her words were harsh, she dared not repeat the past incident where she had told Winnie to leave the house, and she was wary of crossing that line again.

Winnie looked at Nadine, unfazed.

“If you want to go that badly, go ahead.” Winnie said, her voice calm, not a hint of concession due to Nadine’s tantrum. Instead, she glanced at the clock and said with a semblance of sincerity, “At this time, your classmates are still gathering. If you hurry, you can still make it.”

Winnie’s unexpected compliance left Nadine without a script, unsure how to proceed with her rant. She glanced between Winnie and Leonie, seeking guidance.

Leonie was puzzled. Rushing over, she questioned, “Winnie, didn’t you say the πιμ could be dangerous? That you foresaw a calamity? How can you let Nadine go?”
