True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules ( Winnie and Suzan ) -
Chapter 164
Chapter 164
Winnie glanced back at the young man following not too far behind. His attempts to appease his girlfriend were obvious offering her water, handing her a tissue. But after being deliberately ignored twice, his patience seemed to wear thin. Resigned, he lagged behind, eventually mingling with Mae’s group.
Despite his irritation, he struck up a conversation with the bed and breakfast owner, his tone casual. “I’ve watched your stream online; you must’ve walked this trail loads of times, huh?”
The boy had been drawn to the B&B because of the owner’s streams. Carter, the host, was no stranger to such talks. His expressions seemed rehearsed from countless similar interactions. “Yeah, my late wife and I were all about hiking adventures. We were thrilled when we stumbled upon this route. Sometimes, I trek it again to reminisce. Eventually, I figured why not share it live? Never imagined it would catch on like it did,” Carter said, a wistful note in his voice that never failed to garner sympathy from his online audience.
The young man didn’t miss a beat. “You really loved your wife.”
He glanced at his girlfriend, his voice laced with frustration. “My girlfriend always wanted that kind of love.”
Faithfulness, being one of a kind.
How many men these days are as devoted as Carter? Most move on quickly after their spouse
passes away.
He knew what bothered his girlfriend, but he found her pettiness exasperating. It was one thing. in private, but in front of a camera? Couldn’t she hide it a bit?
The more he dwelled on it, the more he tallied his girlfriend’s flaws – the more she seemed to pale in comparison to Carter’s perfect wife.
Lost in thought, he didn’t notice Winnie had stopped and turned to look at him. Kane followed her gaze, puzzled. “Did you notice something again?”
Kane couldn’t fathom Winnie taking an interest in someone else’s boyfriend. Her analytical gaze reminded him of the wife she had ominously marked earlier.
The young girl beside them was equally curious. Winnie, studying the scene, said flatly, “His resentment has grown.”
The girl was stunned. Resentment? Kane was equally confused. What resentment?
The live stream audience was just as baffled.
“Resentment? Is there a ghost?”
“Resentment on the guy?”
Chapter 164
“Suddenly talking about this in broad daylight? Ghosts?”
“Not ghosts! Resentment! Just like what Mervin said!”
“What does this have to do with Mervin?”
“I was in Mervin’s stream earlier, and right when he entered the area, he mentioned a sense of resentment. This could be why couples come here and break up!”
“Oh man, if both say it’s true, then it’s got to be!”
“Or maybe it’s just part of the show’s script?”
“No way, right? No one believes there’s a script for this, right?”
“Who would write a script like that? Bring in the police and serial killers? Is the writer a god?”
“Rather than the writer, I’d say our Winnie is the divine one!”
Meanwhile, the boyfriend noticed Winnie’s pause and asked, “What’s up?”
“Were you just talking about me? Saying nasty things behind my back?” His girlfriend asked, her tone accusatory. She didn’t understand the talk of resentment, but her instinct told her it was about her boyfriend. His growing resentment that meant he was blaming her?
The boyfriend frowned at her tone. “Who’s talking about you? Can’t you keep your imagination in check? When have I said anything bad about you?”
Her boyfriend’s harsh words took her aback, and she retorted, “Why are you yelling at me? If you’ve got a problem with me, just say it!”
-You’re crazy! Did I yell at you?”
Now the boyfriend was thoroughly annoyed, his patience worn thin by her constant sulking. “You’ve been giving me the cold shoulder since we started this trip. You are being such a baby. I’m fed up with it!”
With that, her eyes reddened instantly. “You’re fed up with me? I haven’t even complained about you, and now you’re disgusted with me? Don’t you know what you did wrong?!”
“Be reasonable! What did I do wrong now? You act like a princess every day; do I have to keep pampering you?”
“Look at yourself, thinking you’re so charming. Who cares about you?”
Their argument escalated quickly, in full view of the production crew. The viewers were stunned by the sudden fight.
“What just happened? Why the conflict?”
“I’m confused, but I think they’re heading for a breakup.”
“I’ve never been in a relationship, can someone experienced tell me if this is normal?”
“From experience, couples argue like this, it’s all normal.”

Chapter 164
“It’s scary. I’m getting cold feet about relationships.”
“I’ve been in a relationship, and argued, but this seems off.”
“Did they forget they’re live? If it were me, I’d be embarrassed to argue like this on air.”
“Their argument has me speechless.”
Suddenly, the escalating quarrel prompted some of the guests to belatedly try to mediate.
They were here to uncover the secret behind the B&B curse, not to witness a breakup.
Carter was taken aback by the turn of events. “He was just asking about my wife and me. We weren’t talking about you… Please, stop fighting.”
Elsewhere, Candace and the other guests from the other route heard the commotion and came to investigate, stunned to see the unfolding drama.
“What’s happening here? Why are they fighting?”
The young couple’s argument grew fiercer, making it clear that even the most picture–perfect relationships can unravel before an audience’s eyes.
The person beside her was about to chime in with an explanation, but they were cut off as Winnie spoke up, her voice smooth and steady.
“It’s nothing serious,” she said, casting a knowing glance around the group. “They’re just… well, let’s say they were influenced by Carter’s dark aura.”
