True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 153

The moment the camera panned to the bed, a collective shiver ran down everyone’s spine. It felt like ice water had been dumped down their backs, starting from their heels and shooting straight up to their necks. The viewers in front of their screens felt their hair stand on end, a chill creeping over them.

“No way. Isn’t that the Ruby Bracelet from yesterday?” someone blurted out, “I thought Winnie took care of it.”

“I must not be fully awake yet,” another viewer typed in the chat, “because my eyes must be deceiving me. That smashed bracelet is back?”

“That can’t be the same one from yesterday,because that was wrecked.”

“Why is there another one? And on my girl’s bed?.”

The fear was palpable, a sense of being haunted, “Damn, this is too creepy. I’ve literally forgotten Mae’s bare face because of this.”

Mae’s makeup–free visage had momentarily recaptured the audience’s attention. It wasn’t that she looked bad without makeup. It was just that her skin looked sallow but had turned a ghostly pale from fright. Without a touch of makeup, everyone could see her faint eyebrows. her enlarged pores, laugh lines, and even crow’s feet.

Who would believe Mae was only 25?

Some of the more devoted fans were shattered, their admiration for Mae cooling significantly.

Finally coming to her senses, Mae realized she was still on air without a stitch of makeup. She instinctively covered her face, wanting to hide from everyone. Yet, the thought of being alone was more terrifying.

In her panic, she turned to Winnie for help. After all, it was Winnie who had identified the problem with the bracelet the day before. Mae was convinced Winnie had the expertise.

“Winnie, help me, please. Why has this thing come back?.” She was frantic, scrambling to stand before dashing to Winnie’s side amidst the crowd, seeking some semblance of safety.

Before Winnie could respond, Candace also skittered behind her, gripping the hem of Winnie’s shirt.
