True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 168
The moment Winnie began to spill the beans, the live chat went dead silent.
It was only after she revealed the truth behind the so—called Breakup Curse that
the virtual dam burst open, unleashing a torrent of vitriol.
“I thought I believed in love again, but reality is just repulsive!”
“So this is what they mean by profiting off others* pain, huh?!"
“The girls you duped are just down on their luck!”
“I can’t even... she said the wite's spirit stayed because she missed Carter,
wanting to be near him, only to witness him betray her, step by step!”
“I had a gut feeling his act was a bit too much. How could so many fall for it?”
“What a total jerk!”
The more the B&B owner, Carter, had been idolized online, the harsher the
backlash was now.
Carter stood there, dumbfounded, as Winnie narrated how he'd manipulated the
sympathy of these girls to get them into bed. He felt the judgmental stares —
some contemptuous, some disdainful. Though they no longer suspected him for
his wife's death, those looks were hard to stomach.
Facing the live stream camera, he knew he was in deep trouble. But he wasn't
ready to throw in the towel just yet. He'd been a shoestring traveler for years, and
now, he'd built a business, amassed a following, even trademarked his B&B, with
plans to expand.
All that was in jeopardy now.
Carter was stubborn. What had he done wrong? He'd just told stories online, and
the girls had come to him willingly. He wasn't a fraud, he hadn't lured them, and
he made sure they were all consenting adults.
By his account, he hadn't crossed any legal lines.
With that thought, he calmed himself and quickly tried to salvage his reputation in
front of his online audience.
“I can’t deny what you're saying... I've done those things,” he started, his voice
taking on a sharp turn. “But I haven't broken the law or killed anyone. I've just
done what any normal guy would do! I have my needs, isn't that normal? This
isn't even cheating!”
From a guy's perspective, Carter's words gained traction with male viewers.
He was right, wasn’t he? A widower shouldn't be expected to stay alone forever.
In the real world, it wouldn't have been unusual for a widower to remarry within a
few years.
The chat started to sway in his favor until Candace stepped in with a fierce
rebuttal.

Chapter 163
“Don't twist the truth! What's “normal“ about leading girls on while playing the
devoted widower online? That's fraud!” Candace had ditched her delicate
persona, hammering Carter with a tirade.
“If you'd been upfront about moving on, I'd respect you, but no, you want it all!
Don't you dare compare yourself to other men! None of the guys I know, none of
my male fans, would ever stoop to your level of deceit!”
Her words effectively sided with the moral majority and Implied that any who
defended Carter were ethically compromised.
The chat that had leaned toward Carter now turned against him, with men
Joining in the condemnation.
Candace’s fans, meanwhile, were quick to play peacemakers.
“Don't be too hard on our Candy. She's usually sweet as sugar. Just... not when
she’s riled up.”
The mood in the live chat softened a bit with their humorous interjections.
Carter, publicly chastised, left the scene to avoid further embarrassment.
After he left, the ambulance and rescue team arrived, whisking the injured Sara
away, while Thorpe, caught in attempted murder on live stream, was promptly
taken away by the police.
Bagot couldn't fathom how his metaphysical show kept entangling with murder
investigations.
But unlike last time, he seemed much more composed.

The viewers didn't care about the ethical debate anymore; they were just upset
about the abrupt end.
Bagot smirked at the flood of complaints scrolling across the screen, while Ned
smoothly continued.
“To honor our commitment to our live audience, we’ll go ahead with the original
plan. Let's hike up Golden Horizon Hills and catch the sunset!”

Golden Horizon Hills was renowned for its breathtaking sunrises, yet its sunsets
held an equal claim to fame.
It was a rare treat to visit, and the guests were determined not to miss out on the
full experience.
