True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules ( Winnie and Suzan ) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 

The Bryant family’s home renovation exuded an understated opulence, with a sliding glass door that connected the foyer to the garden patio. Once opened, the entire soiree was transformed. into a semiopen affair

The event’s decoration, schedule, and array of exquisite food were all meticulously arranged by a professional planning company

The Henderson family, though no strangers to the party circuit, couldn’t help but feel a touch of envy as they took in the scale of the Bryant family’s affair

Upon arrival, Kathryn straightened her posture, instinctively aiming to present her most radiant self to the gathering’s elite

For this 

gala, she had coaxed Barton into splurging on a limited designed dress, a strapless tulle gown fit for a princess, topped with a petite tiara that framed her as royalty

Her deliberate sweet smile did indeed turn heads as she entered, yet before she could strike an even more graceful pose, the glances that had once been fixed on her shifted away, some tinged with disdain

Confused, Kathryn couldn’t fathom what was amiss with her ensemble

Unbeknownst to her and the Henderson family, a girl in a sleek black dress chuckled with her companion in a corner

Who was that lady? Doesn’t she know who the guest of honor is tonight? Wearing a crown, she thinks she’s the princess of the evening?” 

Another replied, She looks familiar, but I can’t quite place her.” 

Oh, isn’t that the CEO of Henderson Group? How did the Henderson family even make the guest list?” 

The Bryant family was equally puzzled to see the Henderson family approaching them. Terrell was especially taken aback

Who let them in

After all, Clifford had explicitly forbidden any collaboration with them following a slight against Winnie, even retracting existing partnerships. How did they end up here

Mr. Terrell, it’s such a pleasure to see you. I’ve been meaning to catch up, but you’ve been elusive. What a fortunate coincidence!Barton gushed, seizing the opportunity to rekindle business ties

Terrell’s wife, Janet, was mingling with guests when she spotted the Henderson family. She maintained her composure and casually inquired, Terrell, who might these people be?” 

Janet had never met the Henderson family. Suzan’s attempt to visit had been cut short at the

gate, so she was unfamiliar with them

Terrell introduced them, This is Mr. Henderson and his wife, and I believe this is their daughter.” 

Janet turned keen upon learning their identities

The Bright Group, led by Clifford, had always been guided by his decisions. Janet respected 

Clifford too

She knew of his disdain for the Henderson family, a sentiment she shared, especially after learning how they treated Winnie, their supposed princess

Winnie, who had been raised more as Kathryn’s underling, carrying bags, fetching snacks, and even keeping vigil during her illnesses, was hardly treated with gratitude or respect. When Kathryn was in poor health and was hospitalized for examination, Winnie must accompany her bed to take care of her

While it was delicately put that Kathryn and Winnie looked after each other, the Henderson family was far from so poor that they couldn’t hire a caregiver

When Winnie was driven into the hospital to save Kathryn, the Henderson family didn’t appreciate it, and even kicked Winnie out of the house

If it weren’t for Suzan’s accidental exposure to Winnie when she came to the door yesterday, Clifford wouldn’t be in a hurry to check these things

As a result, the more Janet looked at what she found out, the more angry she was

Even though Suzan had no evidence of explicitly abusing Winnie, Winnie had suffered a lot of grievances in the Henderson family

Janet cooled her demeanor as she realized who they were. So you are the Henderson family. We finally meet.” 

She made a mental note to ensure they wouldn’t be admitted so easily next time

Barton, preoccupied with potential deals, missed Janet’s change in tone and chuckled, Indeed. my wife and daughter tried to visit the other day but missed you. They were quite disappointed, but today’s meeting was worth the wait.” 

Janet raised an eyebrow, her smile sharpening. Didn’t Mrs. Henderson tell you why she missed us?” 

At Janet’s insinuation, Kathryn and Suzan tensed visibly

Barton, initially baffled, quickly caught on to the underlying tension. Glancing at anxious Suzan and Kathryn, he realized something was amiss and hastily offered, My wife and daughter can be a bit spoiled. If they’ve offended you in any way, please don’t take it to heart.” 

Catching Barton’s demeanor, Janet exchanged a quick and knowing glance with Terrell beside her. They both seemed to instantly grasp the unspoken
