True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 134
Mervin's sudden interruption had left Kathryn without a chance to exchange
contact information with Kane. Yet, even if she had spoken up, it was unlikely that
Kane would have obliged. The perfect excuse was at hand — no phones during
filming.
It was just as well that Kathryn hadn't asked. Had she done so in front of the live
cameras, she would've been torn to shreds by Kane's legion of female followers.
How dare she make a move on their idol after the bullying scandal? The
audacity!
Winnie had been monitoring the situation with Kathryn but chose not to intervene,
especially since the topic of Amulets always seemed to be a slippery slope. Just
after Suzan had asked. Bailey to help get a protective charm, had it not been for
Winnie's prior instructions, her cover might have been completely blown by now.
Although the Hendersons* issue was unresolved, Winnie had given her final
advice. It was now up to the family to decide. Yet, deep down, Winnie knew
Barton would choose to abandon the mansion. The whole ordeal had become
too public, involving not only the neighbors but also Barton's business
associates. Superstitions ran deep in business circles, and no one wanted the
bad karma of dealing with a family living under the same roof as a ghost.
Despite today’s filming hiccups, Bagot was generally pleased. By lunchtime, the
show had dominated social media trends, with Winnie at the heart of three of
them. Even the show's official Twitter account, opened just for Winnie, had
gained nearly a million followers. Not that Winnie cared much for fame or
planned on capitalizing on her sudden surge in popularity.
As Bagot was about to wrap up the shoot, a familiar sight made his heart sink — a
police car was approaching. His hand froze mid-air as the rest of the crew
tensed up. Memories of yesterday's live stream shutdown surfaced, and, now this
new development seemed like an ominous déja vu.
The viewers, too, caught on to the situation, their comments flooding the chat
with a mix of sympathy and dismay for the crew. But to everyone's surprise, the
police stopped not at the show's set but at the Hendersons* doorstep, their
business clearly with the family, not the Crew
Quick as a flash, Bagot exchanged a knowing look with Bailey, then signaled the
cameramen to keep rolling. This was too good — or too bad — to miss.
Barton and his family emerged at the gate, only to be greeted by the officers and
the lingering crew. With a twitch in his forehead betraying his stress, Barton
asked politely. “Officers, what brings you here?”
Without much preamble, the officers flashed their badges, their expressions grim.
“Mr. and Mrs
Henderson, we've received a report concerning your involvement in a baby
kidnapping case from eighteen years ago. We need you to come to the station
for questioning.”
The bombshell left everyone stunned.
Baby kidnapping? The respectable Hendersons implicated in such a crime?
The live stream chat exploded with speculation and outrage. Could the
kidnapped baby be Winnie, the adopted daughter? The Hendersons' facade was
crumbling, and the sympathy was quickly shifting to Winnie.
The Henderson family was led away as the chat overflowed with apologies to
Winnie, regretting their hasty judgments. On-site, the crew turned to Winnie, who
was as shocked as anyone else. She hadn't foreseen this in her readings, and
yet, with this revelation, many unresolved pieces of her past suddenly clicked into
place.
As Quincy rushed after the police, Kathryn was left behind, her world spinning.
Her mind raced to Winnie, and in a fit of rage, she snapped, pushing her
wheelchair towards her.
“Did you do this? Did you call the police? How could you turn on Mom and Dad
like this? They raised you, after all! Kathryn's voice was shrill, but she was
intercepted by the crew before she could reach Winnie. The drama of the
Henderson household had spilled into reality, live for all
to see.

It was at this moment that the crew and guests took proper notice of the Bryant
family’s ride—it was nothing short of impressive.
Remembering the generous tips the Bryant family had dished out earlier,
everyone could hazard a guess about Winnie's current family situation.
