Chapter 130 Winter’s Jealousy
Horace reluctantly followed Winter outside. Hearing that Gideon hadn’t denied being a couple with Nancy, Winter’s eyes blazed with fury.
Her
anger was ablaze at the thought that a discarded girl from the Moore family had dared to get close to Gideon.
Nancy looked aloof, but beneath it all, she was far more shameless than anyone else.
Winter’s anger nearly made her lose control, her heels clicking sharply against the pavement as she stormed off.
At the Duran Corporation building, Nancy had been in back-to-back meetings all morning, coordinating plans with the business development department.
As the meeting wrapped up, she reached for a bottle of water, but Johnny grabbed it first, opening it for her with a warm smile on his face. The people around them exchanged amused glances.
Nancy offered a small, helpless smile in response. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome. You must be tired, Ms. Moore, with such a tight schedule lately,” Johnny
said with genuine concern.
“Johnny, don’t show favoritism. Hurry and open mine too!” Christopher handed over his own bottle for Johnny to open.
Johnny paused for a moment but complied.
Christopher grinned. “You’re the best, Johnny. You’re always so thoughtful to everyone!”
Johnny’s smile was polite but strained.
As everyone gradually left the conference room, Nancy returned to her office and noticed a few people waiting outside. Her gaze darkened slightly.
“Nancy!” Fergus rushed forward. “Raine didn’t come home all night, and you still have the nerve to show up at work?”
“So she didn’t go home. What does that have to do with me?” Nancy said coldly. “And don’t interfere with my work.”
Fergus’ eyes widened in disbelief. “Nancy, how can you be so heartless? Raine is your sister!

And if it weren’t for that bet you made, she wouldn’t be in this situation!”
“Sorry, she isn’t my real sister. She’s just a fake heiress,” Nancy replied, her tone icy.

Wendy stood up, her voice tense. “Nancy, Raine is missing. If something happens to her, can you take responsibility? You need to revoke that bet right now!”
“Sorry, I’m not revoking it.” Nancy walked toward the office door, but Regina rose to block her path.
Regina looked exhausted, her face drawn from lack of sleep. “Nancy, I’m begging you. Please
revoke the bet.
“Raine will only live with us from now on. We will no longer treat her as the Lidell heiress. I’ll give you even more care and attention. Will that be enough?”
Regina looked utterly helpless, her eyes pleading.
She believed that since Nancy had grown up without her and Andrew around, Nancy’s deepest longing was naturally for family affection. As long as they treated Nancy well, there was no
she would care about someone like Raine.

“Sorry, I won’t. Don’t disturb me at work again, or I’ll have security escort you out,” Nancy said, entering her office and slamming the door.
Outside, Hannah quickly said, “Everyone, please leave. Security is on their way!”
Their faces fell, but they had no choice but to leave Duran Corporation. Fergus and Regina got into the car, and Wendy was about to follow when someone pulled her aside.
“Ms. Seabourne?” Wendy looked at the poised woman in front of her, surprised.
“What was that bet you were discussing with Nancy just now?” Winter narrowed her eyes.
“You heard that?” Wendy blinked, even more startled. After a few moments of hesitation, she explained the details of the bet.
“Why would Nancy want Raine out of your family?” Winter asked, confused,
Wendy glanced around, then leaned close to Winter and whispered, “Actually, Nancy is my real cousin…”
Winter’s eyes widened in shock, then a slow, knowing smile spread across her face.
It turned out that Nancy’s biological family was just a modest Lidell branch.
It made sense now why she would go to such lengths to get close to Gideon. Having once been the heiress of one of Boraska’s top families, she could never be satisfied with being the
