Chapter 131
The moment Suzan realized what it was, her face drained of color, and she
stared at the camera, her previously graceful elegance replaced by a look of
terror and distortion.
Her sudden reaction sent shivers down the spines of the audience watching the
live stream.
Not again, not again.
Her expression now was a haunting echo of Naylor's from yesterday, just before
the live feed
cut when he was choked by the hands of five ghost girls.
The production crew, including Quincy and Kathryn, was clearly taken aback by
this unexpected turn of events.
Quincy, in particular, had truly experienced the sensation of a ghostly hand
covering his mouth. Almost instinctively, he thought of a solution, “Kathryn, give
Mom the amulet!”
After all, wasn't it Barton's amulet that had scared off the apparition in their
room?
Upon hearing the word “amulet,” Suzan's eyes darted towards Kathryn with
desperation and hope. Since they were already close by, she reached out to her
daughter instinctively.
However, Kathryn, seeing her mother’s hand reaching towards her, did not think
to use the amulet to save her, but instead instinctively pushed her wheelchair
backwards to escape.
Suzan was taken aback, the suffocating sensation at her throat and the dull ache
in her chest almost merging into one.
She looked at her daughter, who she had doted on and cherished, in disbelief.
Kathryn, realizing her cold reaction was too much, especially in front of the
cameras, bit her lip as if finally coming to her senses and reached for the amulet
around her neck.
But before she could remove it, Kane had already thrown his own lifesaving
charm at Suzan.
He couldn't see what was lurking beside Suzan, but since Mervin had said that
the charms were rare, he thought it might help.
Even if Mrs. Henderson seemed a bit sharp—tongued, his upbringing wouldn't
allow him to stand by and watch someone be harmed right before his eyes.
And the moment that charm hit Suzan, it was as if she'd been released from her
bindings. Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the floor, gasping for air as if
she had just survived a catastrophe.
Upon realizing what had saved her, Suzan hastily picked up the charm from the
ground, clutching it to her chest with a look of panic and scanning her
surroundings uneasily.
“Mom!” Quincy was the first to rush over and help her up, his anger about her
earlier favoritism overshadowed by the fact that she was his mother.
Chapter 131
Kathryn was a step slower, but she approached with concern, pushing her
wheelchair closer.
“Mom, are you alright?” Her voice was choked up, and her eyes reddened as she
reached for Suzan’s hand. But Suzan instinctively dashed from her touch.
After her brush with death, Suzan couldn't help but think about Kathryn's retreat
when she needed her most. Even though Suzan kept telling herself that Kathryn
was just scared and had reacted instinctively, a knot had formed in her heart.
“I'm... I'm fine.” Suzan said hoarsely, but she didn’t have the heart to say more.
Kathryn, noticing the subtle shift in Suzan’s attitude, gripped the handles of her
wheelchair tightly, biting her lip with regret.
The production crew hadn't expected a simple follow-up episode to turn into a
genuine encounter with the supernatural. They were frightened, but more worried
that the show would be banned again.
Fortunately, everything in the live stream was normal, and there were no warning
messages or alerts.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the incident was far from over.
Winnie had watched the entire situation unfold without moving an inch from her
spot, offering a cold piece of advice to the still-shaken Suzan.
“If I were you, I'd stay low and stop making a fuss, especially when I can’t protect
myself.” Suzan wasn't in any position to argue back.
She'd truly underestimated the situation before. Sure, her son had been troubled
for a while, but in the end, it was just poor sleep without any real harm. And then
there was the girl in Winnie's story, who Suzan had dismissed as nothing
significant.
Not until she felt those icy, rigid fingers choking her neck did Suzan truly
understand that this was not an entity to be trifled with.
Suzan, not daring to retort, caught Quincy's softer and worried gaze. Despite
everything, he couldn't bring himself to make a decision.
Thinking about the ghost in Winnie's stories, Quincy understood why she wanted
the villa, but giving it up meant losing a near fortune, which was too much for his
family to bear.
He looked to Winnie again, remembering that the ghost had never troubled them
while she lived in the house, which meant it feared Winnie.
Given a second option, Quincy was not ready to give in without a negotiation,
“Winnie, help us out. Since we don't have an unresolvable feud with her, could
you... could you help me negotiate with her? She doesn't need this villa. I'll buy
her another plot of land..."
Winnie raised an eyebrow but didn’t immediately respond. Instead, her gaze
shifted, and everyone's eyes, along with the camera, followed her line of sight.

Winnie didn't have to play peacemaker; the ghost had already rejected the
suggestion herself.
In other words, it wouldn't have made a difference if Winnie had spoken up.
Quincy's breath stalled for several seconds, heart pounding as he stared at the
bold, blood-red
script.
Winnie, on the other hand, just shrugged nonchalantly, indicating. “See, she says
no way.”
