True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 151
Mae received an Exorcism Charm from Mervin, a gift that went unnoticed by the
rest of the
crew.
Following the host's lead, the show's guests arrived at the filming location for the
episode, a trendy bed and breakfast set at the foot of Golden Horizon Hills in
Emerald Bay.
This B&B's claim to fame was the love story between the owner and his late wife.
Legend had it that they met on the road, both avid travelers. A chance journey
taken together revealed a deep connection, and they became lovers, traveling
through the heart of Silverpine Country.
Tragedy struck when the wife disappeared while capturing sunrise photos in
Golden Horizon Hills. Her husband searched the surrounding hills for nine days
with the rescue teams, making headlines with his determination.
The image of him weeping when his wife's body was found garnered widespread
sympathy online.
To honor his wife, the husband gave up his wanderlust life, quit his job, and
invested his savings to start the B&B at the base of Golden Horizon Hills.
Once their love story hit the internet, it drew scores of young followers eager to
capture their moments at the now—-iconic spot.
“I'm sure you've all heard a bit about the B&B's backstory,” Ned began, briefing
the guests on the owners* tale while explaining the reason behind choosing this
location for the episode.
“It's rumored that recently, couples who stay here tend to break up over trivial
matters after leaving.”
While this might seem like bad press for the B&B, there was another twist online,
and the place was being touted as a litmus test for love.
The theory went that any weak spots in a relationship would surface here,
helping couples to “cut their losses early. This claim, too, was lapped up by the
public, and many visited just to prove their love could withstand such a trial.
“Our main task,” Ned continued, “is to discover the reasons behind these
breakups and if there’s any hint of supernatural forces at play.”
As he spoke, all people exchanged uneasy glances.
Candace was the first to raise a hand.
“Investigating why couples broke up? That's tough. We don't know any of them,
and how can we tell if the B&B influenced their breakups? What's our approach?”
Ned, seemingly prepared for such doubts, smiled and replied, “We had already
discussed this

with the B&B owner. You can choose a couple from the current guests, with their
consent, to observe as part of your investigation.”
Without giving the guests a chance to respond, he added with a chuckle, “Of
course, if anyone. refuses to be on camera, you'll need to get creative. Perhaps
form a couple among yourselves and spend a weekend uncovering the B&B's
secrets. That's why we suggest pairing off in mixed—gender teams here, just in
case you can't find willing participants.”
The mention of forming couples on a supernatural-themed show left the guests
speechless.
Predictably, the live audience, especially the fanbases, went wild.
“Not my fave. He's too good for this.”
“My girl's taken by me. No on-screen cheating, not even pretending.”
“I know this B&B. Kaney, wait for us, we're coming to volunteer as your guinea
pigs.”
“Seriously? Are you dating behind his back? Not like me. I've only got eyes for
him.”
“Darn, the B&B's booked out.”
“The production schedule is too secretive, and I missed my chance to stay with
my idol.”
Meanwhile, the guests quickly formed teams, albeit reluctantly. —
Ideally, they'd recruit a couple already staying at the B&B, but if that failed, they'd
have to partner up as Ned suggested.
Following the precedent set in the first episode, the pairings happened quickly,
Mervin with Candace, Gentry with Mae, and Winnie with Kane again.
The audience online cried out against this “misalliance,’ determined to prevent
any fake couple
formation.
Candace, though miffed at not being paired with Kane, swiftly pivoted. When the
topic of room. assignments came up, she latched onto Winnie's arm.
“I'm bunking with Winnie.” she declared, glancing at Mae with a sly grin, “Don’t
get me wrong. Mae. It's not that I want to ditch you, but Winnie and I shared a
room last time. We're comfy with each other, and besides, I remember you prefer
a room to yourself.”
The chat exploded with reactions to Candace’s remark.
“There she goes, Candace and her deliberately ambiguous speaking.”
“Candace, you're killing me with honesty, even on live camera. You know you
had separate beds, right?”
“No offense. My wife's just blunt. She usually sleeps with me.”
“Candace really cares for Winnie, like a sister.”
“Like a sister, not a ladder climber?”

“Is it just me, or is Candace trying to avoid Mae?"
“Jealous much? It's obvious she’s trying to isolate Mae.”
“Three women and they're playing this isolation game? Poor Mae.”
Mae's fans mixed with Candace’s in the comments section, each defending their
favorite.
Mae, a bit slow to catch on, smiled and indicated she was fine with the
arrangement.
From the start of the show, she seemed a bit out of the loop, but considering the
recent scare with the Ruby Bracelet, no one thought much of it.
Ned had been eavesdropping on the guests as they hashed out room
assignments among themselves, smirking as he finally chimed in.

At that revelation, the guests could only exchange exasperated glances.
Ignoring the host, they each took to their assigned rooms without further ado.
