Chapter 143
Amber watched with narrowed eyes as Cutler admitted his mistake, cursing him
internally for his stupidity. Yet, to maintain a good rapport, she found herself
speaking up on his behalf.
“Look, Cutler might have gone a bit overboard, but his heart was in the right
place,” Amber said, turning to Winnie. “He’s just worried about you. The glitz and
glamour of showbiz can be blinding, especially at your age. Cutler is just looking
out for you. Can't you cut him some slack?”
Sure, the moment Amber spoke up, Cutler brimmed his eyes with gratitude and
regarded her as his confidant.
A soft chime echoed in Amber's mind, with the system whispering: Two more
affinities from Cutler.
“Yup, it worked.” Amber thought. With a slight curve of her lips and an
unwavering sincerity in her gaze, she looked back at Winnie.
Winnie was unreadable as she faced Amber and said, “So far, the biggest malice
I've faced on
the show has been from his online trolls.”
Her remark was so sharp that it silenced both Amber and Terrell, who had been
trying to make excuses for Cutler.
Winnie didn’t bother arguing with Cutler anymore. She turned to Bacchus and
Clifford, her tone neither warm nor cold, but her stance was firm, “I don't take the
mystical lightly and I don't use it on those close to me. I'll let Cutler off this time,
but I hope this is the last. If not, I'll settle it my way.”
With that, she turned to Terrell and Janet, her voice softer, “And when that time
comes, Lhope you won't blame me.”
Terrell and Janet were speechless.
“Don't worry, Winnie. If he dares to pull something like this again, I'll break his
legs myself!” Terrell said, glaring at Cutler with a face like thunder.
Cutler had always been the sensible one, allowing Terrell to focus on the hot—
headed Springer. But now, Springer seemed to be getting along just fine with
Winnie, while usually responsible Cutler had caused such a stir without a peep.
Terrell clearly declared his stance. Though his words were harsh, it was clear he
preferred to handle the punishment himself rather than delve into any mystical
methods.
With Terrell taking such a stand, Clifford had to be firmly on Winnie's side as well.
“Regardless of the intention, a mistake is still a mistake,” Clifford said, pausing to
give Cutler, whose face was tense, a meaningful look before adding, “I recall
Cutler mentioning starting his venture with a new logistics company. It's a good
idea, but starting a business isn’t something you just jump into. Here's what we'll
do. I'll put your venture on hold. I'm giving you the
11:45
opportunity to manage a logistics branch in Nystone City. Remember to learn the
ropes there. If you do well, then we can talk about your new company.”
Clifford's casual tone belied the weight of his decision to send Cutler to Nystone
City.
Cutler went pale because his company was already in the works!
Because of this petty issue, Clifford was ready to slash his entrepreneurial plans!
No matter how nicely put, it couldn't hide the fact that Clifford was punishing on
Cutler for Winnie.
“Uncle Clifford!” Cutler protested, filled with resentment, but he knew all too well
that once
Clifford made a decision, it was final.
So, he turned to Bacchus, seeking support, “Grandpa...”
He didn’t appeal to Terrell, knowing his father would always side with Clifford,
especially since Terrell also agreed with Clifford's arrangement. Terrell had been
worried about Cutler's new logistics venture, considering the saturated market.
Terrell thought to let Cutler give it a try. Even if he failed, it would only be a
financial loss.
But now, sending him to Nystone City seemed more fitting for Cutler to gain
experience. Plus, it might help shift Cutler's attitude toward Winnie, keeping him
busy with legitimate work instead of finding ways to trouble Winnie.
With this in mind, Terrell found Clifford's arrangement to be perfect.
Terrell was a tapestry of agreement, even as he stayed silent.
Cutler placed all his hope on Bacchus.
Bacchus looked kindly at his grandson, saying, “Do as Clifford said. Head to
Nystone City and learn how to run a company properly. After all, the future of the
Bryant family lies with your youngsters.”
Cutler sank his heart, not expecting even his grandfather to endorse Clifford's
decision to send him away. A bitter resentment grew within him.
Why Nystone City? Even though it wasn't far, it felt like exile to Cutler. But he
dared not voice these thoughts.
The Bright Group, on the surface managed by Terrell and Clifford, had a clear
hierarchy. Terrell was devoted to supporting Clifford in running the conglomerate.
Suggesting that Cutler learn management at the Bright
Terrell's support but might also trigger Clifford's waring up headquarters would
not only lack
Cutler had ambition, but now was not the time to reveal it.
With a clenched fist at his side, Cutler silently agreed to Clifford's arrangement,
hiding his emotions well. However, Bacchus easily saw the discontent and
reluctance in his eyes.
