The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348

The tie in his hand matched the one she had used to tie back her hair, just in a different color.

He loosened it and said flatly, “If I shoot with my eyes open, you wouldn’t beat me in ten years.”

The words were humiliating.

But they were also true.

If Dominic had been there, he would have added, “Even blindfolded, you wouldn’t beat him in five.”

Chris’s shooting was at the edge of human precision. He had been training rapid-fire drills at twenty-five meters

since he was ten.

For someone like Winter, that distance was already considered advanced in formal competition.

Back when he had trained her, he had chosen that exact range. So far, he had only taught her pistol shooting.

Winter glanced at him.

Perfect.

What she had been trying to push for earlier was exactly this-making him compete blindfolded.

He had already dragged her to this island.

There was no reason to play fair.

“How are we doing this?” she asked.

“Twenty rounds. All at once. Whole-number scoring. Two hundred total.”

Twenty rounds.

She did a quick calculation. Compared to formats like single-round wins or best of five, this gave her slightly better odds. And firing all at once meant less pressure.

“Fine. We’ll do it your way.”

He held the tie loosely, watching her act like nothing was going on. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

“Ladies first.”

Winter tightened her grip on the gun, recalling the way Roy had taught her.

She raised her right hand, steady and controlled. Her left hand came up to support it as she aimed at the black-and -white target twenty-five meters away.

Her best record so far had been an eight.

“Stay steady. Don’t mess this up,” she muttered to herself.

She pressed her still-swollen lips together, her brows drawing in slightly as she focused on the line between the sights and the target.

She squeezed the trigger.

Bang.
