True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules ( Winnie and Suzan )
Chapter 141

Chapter 141 

Hobson was fuming, feeling like Springer, since his so–called act of rebellion, had constantly backed Winnie up. It would seem as if Springer had been bewitched. 

“She’s doing it on purpose. I tell you. She drew those charms herself. And since when has she been short of charm money? How much can one of those things even cost?” 

Bacchus, who had been silent throughout, perked up at this, his curiosity piqued. He couldn’t help but chuckle and ask, “Do you even know how much Winnie charges for one of her charms?” 

Springer, eager to impress his grandfather, puffed out his chest and held up two fingers, “Two grand, that’s the starting price!” 

Two thousand dollars was chump change for the Bryant family. 

In the past, Springer might have scoffed at Winnie for being so down–to–earth, but he didn’t do that anymore. 

She earned every penny with her skills and whatever she charged was her rightful due. 

Compared to the rest of them, living off the family fortunes, Winnie was remarkable. 

Bacchus raised an eyebrow at the price, not at all thinking it was low. To an ordinary household, even a few hundred bucks would be steep, let alone two thousand. 

Yet, compared to corporations that shell out millions for fortunate consultations, this sum was hardly worth mentioning. 

Winnie was making her own way, and Bacchus didn’t see it as tarnishing the Bryant family’s reputation in the slightest. 

Especially after having someone delve into her time with the Henderson family, he understood why she was so keen on earning her money. 

The Henderson family, for all their glamour, never gave her cash for personal expenses. They claimed it was to prevent bad spending habits, but in reality, it was to ensure she had no choice but to depend on them. 

Clifford knew about Winnie’s side hustle selling charms, but on hearing the price from Springer, his first reaction was still one of concern. 

Winnie worked hard on those charms, and all she got was two thousand apiece? She must be short on cash. 

Without a second thought, Clifford pulled out his phone, ready to transfer another million to her 

account. 

He was so keen on loving Winnie. 

Hobson had been waiting for Bacchus or Clifford to take his side, but instead, he got curiosity

from one and sympathy from the other, with neither looking to champion his cause. 

With no evidence to prove his point, Hobson could only swallow his frustration. 

He was a gentleman, after all. He wouldn’t stoop to argue with a lady! 

He thought that’d be the end of it. 

But the next day, the Bryant family, a rare sight altogether, sat down for breakfast. 

Winnie came downstairs a little late, greeted the elders, and was about to take her seat. 

Seeing her reminded Hobson of his grievances from the night before. He thought he might use the opportunity with everyone present to corner her into confessing last night’s antics. 

Just as the thought crossed his mind and he was about to speak out, the sensation of his mouth being sealed shut from the night before returned! 

Hobson widened his eyes once again. Turning to face Winnie’s almost smirking demeanor, his face flushed with anger. 

It seemed she had tailored the curse specifically for herself! 

Recalling their bet where he was to keep silent in her presence, Hobson felt deeply humiliated. 

Winnie really must despise talking to him! This was too much!

His face turning various shades. Unable to voice his frustration, he put down his utensils and started furiously typing on his phone. 

The rest of the Bryant family were peacefully enjoying their breakfast when their phones suddenly buzzed with a flurry of group messages, causing a collective stir. 

With everyone at the table, who would be texting? 

It was Hobson, claiming that Winnie had cursed him and now he couldn’t speak in her presence! 

Springer, tired of the same old story, snapped, “Hobson, we’ve been over this. Winnie just came downstairs. How could she have cursed you? And you can talk just fine. You were just chatting with Amber!” 

Incensed, Hobson saw the rest of the family’s confusion and typed again. 

‘She cursed me last night and it’s personalized. I can talk normally to anyone else, but I’m mute around her!” 

The Bryant family glanced at Winnie, skeptical about such an absurd curse. 

Middleton, who never liked Winnie’s dabbling in the mystical, was especially irritated. He didn’t believe in such nonsense and now his son was spouting it, too. 

“Are you starting with this supernatural stuff as well? If you’re bored at home, go on a holiday with your friends.”

Hobson hadn’t expected his father to be the first to doubt him! 

Is Middleton to suggest he was the one refusing to go out? Hobson had already planned a trip abroad with friends, tickets booked, bags packed. 

But then Winnie was brought home, and Bacchus commanded everyone to stay and properly greet her. 

So his vacation was dead in the water, and even Springer and Amber’s summer camp was 

called off. 

If Louisa and that person weren’t Still at the wellness center, Bacchus probably would have summoned them back too. 

Hobson, feeling increasingly frustrated, began typing again. 

‘Dad! I really can’t talk!” 

Springer didn’t bother with words and just sent a mocking meme. 

Hobson was at a loss for words. 

Amber, having learned her lesson from a previous blunder, was extra cautious with her words. In front of the elders, she certainly wasn’t going to question Winnie and softly asked, “Hobson, could there be a misunderstanding? Winnie wouldn’t do such a thing. We’re all family here.” 

Janet chimed in from the side, “Yeah, Winnie’s got some talent, but there’s no way she’d do anything like that to you.” 

Leonie joined in, “Are you sure you’re not just having a sore throat? Maybe I can have our family doctor come over this afternoon to check on you.” 

Hobson listened as each family member added their two cents, feeling utterly frustrated, yet unable to explain or prove his situation. 

Just as he was about to burst with indignation, he heard Winnie break the tension, “He’s indeed under a restriction, but it’s one that only affects him when he’s around me.” 

Winnie’s unexpected confession left the entire Bryant family speechless, their gazes filled with disbelief as they turned to her. 

So Hobson wasn’t faking it? Well, that was awkward. 

Even Springer was at a loss for words at this point. 

But in crucial moments like these, it was always up to Horace to set things right. 

He tilted his head towards Winnie, offering her an indulgent smile, “That’s my sister for you, casting spells like it’s nothing. Impressive.” 

All people were speechless. 

Horace had definitely changed.

Everything was normal before, but ever since Winnie returned, he had turned into an unabashed protector of Winnie.
