True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules ( Winnie and Suzan ) novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 

The kids of the Bryant family, none without a hefty trust fund to their name, could easily buy a house and move out with just a swipe of their credit cards

But all branches of the Bryant family still lived together under one roof, which was only because Bacchus wouldn’t hear of anyone moving out

Yet somehow, they found themselves harboring feelings of envy towards Winnie

Clifford had no clue about the restless thoughts brewing in their minds. He had anticipated Winnie’s reluctance and had come prepared

It’s fine if you really don’t want to come back home. I had someone purchase a villa at Royal Residence last night. If you’re willing, we can move there right away.His words implied that Winnie was welcome to live with Horace and him

Moving out meant the rest of the family couldn’t look down on her anymore. It might even help mend the strained fatherdaughter relationship

Clifford was serious, and his words took even sneaky Springer, Cutler and Hobson, who had been plotting to secretly rent their place, by surprise

They had heard Clifford rant about moving out the night before, but they thought it was just tough talk to scare them. But now, it was actually happening? And was the house already bought?! 

Winnie was equally shocked. After all, when Horace had brought her back home, he had said that the Bryant family never split the household. She had returned to the family but never considered conforming to that particular rule

She hadn’t thought about what it would mean for the Bryant family, or that it would involve Clifford and Horace moving out with her

But now, Clifford’s offer was clearly for her sake

Speechless, Winnie could hardly muster a firm refusal

At the sight of her silence, Clifford softened his expression and was about to continue, If you still don’t want to” 

I’ll move back in,Winnie said almost with a sigh

She never intended to push Clifford into anything, but now that he had taken action, the responsibility weighed on her shoulders. She didn’t want to be the culprit who splintered the Bryant family

What mattered more was that she had seen Clifford’s change of heart. He was willing to give up things for her, and that was enough for her

Winnie was ready to compromise for Clifford’s sake. She didn’t even demand an apology from 

Springer, Cutler and Hobson, which took them by surprise

They had all prepared themselves for Winnie to use the situation to make them grovel for forgiveness

They were quite displeased by the thought. But now that she didn’t make any demandsthey found themselves oddly dissatisfied as well

It made them feel as if they were insignificant to her. Annoying, really

When Winnie returned to the Bryant family, Springer and others didn’t dare to give her dirty looks anymore, mainly because they didn’t want her to go back to some dingy rental place and embarrass the family name

Even Nadine, the youngest, had clearly been thoroughly lectured, politely greeting Winnie upon her arrival just as Horace had said before

*From the start, when treated unfairly, you have to assert your stance so they know not to mess with you in the future.” 

When Winnie arrived, Horace was at the door, his eyes crinkling with a smile just as they had the day they first met

Winnie, welcome home.” 

Amber had been waiting in the living room and immediately came forward with affectionate warmth

Winnie, it’s good you’re back. For the dinner party tonight, Bacchus sent out invitations early. If you hadn’t returned, we wouldn’t have known what to do.” 

Despite Amber’s melodious voice, her words were laced with the implication that they had coaxed Winnie back riot out of genuine desire but for the sake of propriety at the evening’s 

event

Anyone sensitive could have overthought her words

Winnie swept her gaze coolly over Amber. After a moment, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly in a smirk. She replied calmly. It’s just a dinner party. If itdoesn’t happen today. tomorrow is also OK. Outsiders won’t stop recognizing me as a member of the Bryant family just because we missed one event.” 

She looked to Horace, cueing him with a glance, Right?” 

Horace’s eyes nearly brimmed with laughter as he readily agreed, Of course. You are our one and only Ms. Bryant. Irreplaceable.” 

The underlying message of his words was clear

Amber’s pretty face went pale for a moment before she regained her composure, smiling as usual, Horace, you’re right.” 

Nadine, on the other hand, pouted, looking up at her mother with a mix of confusion and

complaint, as if to ask, If Winnie is the one and only Ms. Bryant, then what about me?”
