Chapter 190

So, after several rounds, Rowena’s face was covered with sticky notes while Teresa’s and Sean’s

faces remained clean.

“Ugh, I don’t want to play anymore! You’re cheating!” Rowena threw her battered cards onto the

table. Why do I always lose? My cards were so good.”

Rowena glared at Sean, convinced he was cheating. Otherwise, how could she lose every round

while Sean and Teresa never lost once? Teresa, who usually played just to make up the numbers in

their dorm, was somehow playing better than her today.

Rowena could not believe Teresa had suddenly become so skilled, so the only explanation was

that Sean was using some trick to make her lose.

Sean raised an eyebrow and smiled innocently at Rowena. “Ms. Rowena, that’s an unfair

accusation. I played fair and square. If your card skills aren’t up to par, you can’t blame me.”

“You…” Rowena gritted her teeth. “I’m done playing.” She tore the sticky notes off her face. “I’m not

playing anymore, okay?”

“Finé. A gentleman doesn’t fight with a lady.” Sean shrugged and threw his cards onto the table with

a smile.

Feeling bored, Rowena grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels. She

stumbled upon an entertainment news channel reporting gossip.

On the screen was Winter’s face, surrounded by reporters bombarding her with questions, their

microphones nearly poking her in the face. Winter looked panicked and distressed, a sight Rowena

and Teresa had never seen before.

Rowena froze, then turned to Teresa. They both saw the news headline–‘Popular Actress, Winter

Shaw, Accused of Sleeping Her Way to the Top.‘

Rowena and Teresa exchanged looks. “What’s going on? Is this karma?”

Rowena laughed and quickly pulled out her phone to check the latest news. Sure enough,

headlines from various media outlets and blogs were all about Winter

The more Rowena read, the more shocked she became. The reports detailed Winter being kept by

a wealthy man and having inappropriate relationships with directors to get roles. There were even

photos. Winter would not be able to talk her way out of this one.

Seeing Rowena so happy, Teresa also took out her phone. “Oh my gosh, no wonder Noelle couldn’t

win against her. Winter is so devious and cunning.”

Sean narrowed his eyes. His usual playful look was replaced by a rare glint of interest. His long

fingers. stroked his chin as he watched the TV screen,

He smirked while glancing toward the kitchen.

He had not expected Charles to go this far. It seemed he was truly serious about Nocile.

“Who did she cross this time?”

“What do you mean? Who crossed who?” Noelle walked out of the kitchen while carrying a tray.

Hearing

Rowena and Teresa’s conversation, she set down the tray and walked over.

Seeing Rowena’s odd expression, Noelle looked at Teresa. “What’s going on with you guys?”

Noelle noticed the mess of cards and sticky notes on the coffee table. “Playing cards? Who lost?”

“No one lost.” Rowena laughed awkwardly. “Noelle, take a look at this.” She handed her phone to

Noelle, the screen fully lit.
