True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules (Winnie and Suzan) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 

Winnie’s voice was neither heavy nor light, yet it carried through the air like a babbling brook, melodious and pleasant to the ear. However, the words she spoke had a knack for catching people off guard. 

The Coopers, concerned that their daughter was causing a scene, had hurried over to pull her away, only to be stopped short by Winnie’s remark. 

Odette Cooper couldn’t help but confront her daughter, “Ramona! When did you start dating someone? How come I didn’t know about it?” 

It all made sense now. Their daughter’s poor SAT scores was because she was distracted! 

Ramona, initially taken aback by Winnie’s words, was caught off–guard by her mother’s interrogation, her eyebrows knitting together, “Mom, I’m eighteen. It’s totally normal to have a boyfriend!” 

That admission was as good as a confession. 

The Bryants, who had overheard the commotion, tilted their heads in curiosity, but did not rush to cover up Winnie’s supposed ‘nonsense.‘ Instead, they seemed intrigued by her claim’s authenticity. 

Annoyed by Winnie’s words that led to her mother’s rebuke, and upon remembering the insinuation that her boyfriend had deceived her, Ramona grew even more displeased. 

“How would you know about my boyfriend? Have you seen him?” Snapping, Ramona was certain that Winnie must have seen her with her boyfriend to make such a statement. Winnie, however, faced Ramona with a composed demeanor and replied, “I thought you’d be more curious about what he’s deceived you over.” 

Seeing that Winnie was still on about her lies; Ramona couldn’t help but glare at her, defiance in her eyes, “You’re just making things up! My boyfriend would never lie to me: we are incredibly close!” 

Ramona figured that at worst, Winnie would suggest her boyfriend was cheating, planting seeds of doubt. She knew that such suspicions could easily lead to conflicts and more doubts. possibly even arguments that could affect her relationship. 

Thinking this through, Ramona decided Winnie was a shady person! 

Winnie, unperturbed by the hostility, nonchalantly continued, “Your aura shows signs of a rotten peach blossom and dark clouds over your wealth sector, indicating impending financial loss related to your boyfriend.” 

She paused, then asked, “Your boyfriend, he’s borrowed money from you recently, hasn’t he?” 

Ramona, ready to counter any wild claim, was caught off guard by this question. Indeed, her boyfriend had borrowed money from her…

Chapter 89 

Ramona’s inability to mask her emotions did not go unnoticed by the quests, influential figures all, who now showed a piqued interest in the proceedings. 

The Coopers, sensing their daughter’s unease, pressed for answers, “Sweetheart, don’t tell me Winnie was right; your boyfriend really borrowed money from you?” 

Ramona, feeling cornered by her mother’s questioning and the watchful eyes around her, tried to maintain a brave front, “He… he needed funds for a start–up, and I invested, it’s not a loan…” Odette nearly fainted at her daughter’s words. Initially, she thought it was a trivial loan, akin to tossing coins to a beggar. But the mention of a start–up investment sent shivers down her 

spine. 

“How much did you lend him?” At that moment, she was calculating how much money her daughter could have possibly accessed. 

Ramona, under the intense scrutiny of her mother and the guests, felt her cheeks redden, “Not much…” Her voice had lost its earlier confidence. 

But Odette was not convinced, “How much?!” 

Abbot Cooper, sensing trouble and not wanting to make a scene, gently restrained his wife and turned to Ramona with a stern look, “Come with me.” 

He offered an apologetic smile to Winnie and the other guests, “Ramona is young and doesn’t know better. Winnie, please don’t take it to heart. I’ll have a word with her.” 

With that, he led Ramona and Odette away. 

The Bryants, being from the same social circles, evoked curiosity rather than ridicule. The talk of fate and fortune by the young Miss Bryant had already intrigued some who believed in such 

matters. 

They had heard about the Bryants‘ involvement in resolving the Sanchez family’s crisis, where apparently, the young Miss Bryant not only averted disaster for them but also seemed to have changed their daughter for the better. 

While many were skeptical, especially those who knew the Sanchez girl still behaved childishly. today’s events had them wondering if there might be some truth to Winnie’s ability.” 

Springer had been observing the commotion from the start, eager to see Winnie put Ramona in her place. How dare she mock Winnie’s school! 

As the Coopers were escorted away, half the show cut short, Springer couldn’t let it go and sneakily followed. 

Soon enough, Springer returned, his face alight with excitement, and the gossip quickly spread among the younger guests.
