True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 157

While the online community buzzed with anticipation for the police to trace down the

mastermind, Winnie temporarily stepped away from the camera’s gaze.

The audience saw her whisper something to Bagot at the door before she left the room, sans

the camera crew.

She returned shortly after, her expression unchanged, and the viewers assumed she had simply taken a quick bathroom break. Mae, however, was beside herself with worry.

Knowing how to pinpoint the puppeteer behind the scenes was one thing, but the immediate concern was the cursed bracelet.

“Master Bryant, until we find the person behind this, am I stuck with this bracelet? Could it keep making me age?” Mae had been hiding her face, unwilling to let the camera capture her haggard and makeup–free appearance.

In reality, when everyone had rushed into the room at her scream, her ‘plain face‘ was already broadcast live to the world, with screenshots and captions now circulating online.

The audience in front of the livestream recalled the amulet when Winnie mentioned it. “That’s right. Didn’t the last episode mention the production gave out amulets that could save lives?”

“I remember. Last episode my boy Kaney used that amulet to save Winnie’s foster mom. It was said to contain a Protection Charm drawn by a master, specifically for the guests.”

“Mae must have one, but why isn’t she using it?”

“She got one. The host gave it to her before checking into the B&B yesterday. All the other guests carry theirs, so why isn’t she wearing it?”
