True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 150

In the chatroom, Mae’s fans, while not echoing the sentiment, had come to agree with the sentiment expressed in a recent chat message.

Mae had really stumbled into some seriously bad luck finding such a cursed item.

On the production side, when Mae heard Mervin utter the words “cremains,” she nearly lost her footing, almost unable to stand in shock.

Thankfully, Gentry was quick to steady her with a supportive hand.

“Don’t worry, Mae. Now that we’ve found the thing, we just need to deal with it,” Gentry said, trying to appear helpful, though deep down he was feeling a bit shaky himself, especially after Mervin’s earlier jab about Ghostly. He was afraid his ruse would be seen through, so he stuck to offering verbal comfort.

Fortunately, Mae wasn’t putting all her hopes on Gentry. She turned her hopeful gaze to Winnie. her voice trembling. “Winnie, can you take care of this?”

“No biggie.” Winnie was about to name her price out of habit when she remembered they were filming. She held back.

Instead, she looked at Mae and asked unexpectedly. “When you found this thing in the bag, was this ruby bracelet the only item?”

Winnie’s question was out of the blue.

The guests on set and the live–stream audience were baffled. What did she mean by that? Wasn’t there just the one ruby bracelet in the bag? Could there be something else?

When Mae had first shown it, she had said it was just a bangle she had found.

After Winnie’s accurate detection of the cremains inside the bangle, no one doubted her words anymore. Instead, they began to ponder if her question had some deeper meaning.

Mae, the one being questioned, stiffened almost imperceptibly, a reaction that went unnoticed since she had already been rattled by the talk of cremains. Only Mae knew the ‘panic that flashed in her heart when she met Winnie’s clear, piercing gaze as if seeing through everything.

In just a second, she managed to say through gritted teeth. “Just this one.”

The audience didn’t question her response, and Winnie seemed puzzled for a second before casually shifting her focus back to the bangle and remaining on the ground.

Dealing with it wasn’t hard, but she didn’t want to reveal her talismans in front of the camera crew, especially not her secret identity as Master Winner.

So she turned to Mervin and asked plainly, “Master Mervin, can I borrow a charm?”

Without specifying which charm, Mervin understood her request.
