Chapter 190
The Cherished Wife by Chweety
Chapter 190 Chapter 190 So, after several rounds, Rowenaâs face was covered with sticky notes while Teresaâs and Seanâs faces remained clean.
âUgh, I donât want to play anymore! Youâre cheating!â Rowena threw her battered cards onto the table. Why do I always lose? My cards were so good.â
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. âMs. Rowena, thatâs an unfair accusation. I played fair and square. If your card skills arenât up to par, you canât blame me.â
âYou...â Rowena gritted her teeth. âIâm done playing.â She tore the sticky notes off her face. âIâm not playing anymore, okay?â
âFiné. A gentleman doesnât fight with a lady.â 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 Winterâs 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 headlineââPopular Actress, Winter Shaw, Accused of Sleeping Her Way to the Top.â
Rowena and Teresa exchanged looks. âWhatâs going on? Is this karma?â
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. âOh my gosh, no wonder Noelle couldnât win against her. Winter is so devious and cunning.â
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.
âWho did she cross this time?â
âWhat do you mean? Who crossed who?â Noelle walked out of the kitchen while carrying a tray. Hearing Rowena and Teresaâs conversation, she set down the tray and walked over.
Seeing Rowenaâs odd expression, Noelle looked at Teresa. âWhatâs going on with you guys?â
+15 BONUS Noelle noticed the mess of cards and sticky notes on the coffee table. âPlaying cards? Who lost?â
âNo one lost.â Rowena laughed awkwardly. âNoelle, take a look at this.â She handed her phone to Noelle, the screen fully lit.
