The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 132: The Used Talisman

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: The Used Talisman

The barrage in the livestream chat went silent for a moment.

Just now, the program’s camera had clearly broadcast the previous scene in front of the audience.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to send any messages, fearing that any movement might attract the attention of "her" in front of the camera.

It was only after Scarlett Jennings spoke that the barrage seemed to come alive again.

"Woo, woo, woo, Mom, that really scared me to death just now! Has ’she’ been there all along?!"

"Too frightening! I can’t believe a scene like something out of a movie actually happened in reality!"

"It’s all fake, special effects by the program team, just look at how scared you all are."

"Come on, this is a livestream, not a recorded broadcast!"

"I also think it’s special effects, even though I don’t know how the program team did it, it must be fake!"

"What kind of show plays it this big, even seeing ghosts on site? Is the program team really not afraid of getting banned?"

"The fact that the livestream hasn’t been banned until now proves that it’s fake!"

"Someone tell me this is all just the program team’s script?"

"I admit your program’s planning is excellent! Can’t you use something less otherworldly next time??"

Although the barrage was still full of wails and moans, it was clear that most people preferred to believe this was all the work of the program team’s script.

Whether it was Emma White’s incident just now or the fleeting image of Dashiell Xalvadora being simultaneously choked by five people yesterday.

They were scared, simply because everyone acted so well.

Many netizens, unwilling to believe it, directly recorded the screen, analyzing frame by frame in slow motion, trying to find flaws in the program team’s plan.

The guests of the program knew nothing about all this.

After Scarlett Jennings said those words, Josiah Garrison instantly seemed to be drained of all his strength, slumping dejectedly into the sofa chair.

Isolde Garrison, although reluctant, did not dare to speak casually, intimidated by Scarlett Jennings.

As Director Clark was pondering whether to wrap up today’s filming early, the sound of a car engine was heard outside again.

It was Timothy Garrison who had returned.

He originally didn’t know about this matter.

But there was no choice, the commotion online was too big, and almost everyone who had dealings with the Garrison Family recognized them at a glance, so Timothy Garrison found out what his son, wife, and daughter had done behind his back.

They had completely disgraced their family’s reputation!

Timothy Garrison was practically boiling with rage.

He had just been busy with company matters lately, how could so many things happen without his knowledge?

Yet, in front of the camera, Timothy Garrison still made a concerted effort to maintain his demeanor as a successful entrepreneur.

First, he thanked the program team, then expressed that he would seriously consider the suggestions given by Scarlett Jennings.

Having recognized Scarlett Jennings’ attitude, Timothy Garrison naturally could not, like others, keep harping on about past favors of upbringing.

That would only make him lose face.

He also feared driving people to desperation, fearing that the Garrison Family’s past actions against Scarlett Jennings would be exposed online, inviting the Jennings Family’s retaliation—now that would really be a case of gain not being worth the loss.

Compared to the rest of the Garrison Family, Timothy Garrison was considerably more rational.

Although the program team still wanted to film follow-ups, like the Garrison Family’s final decision, seeing that Timothy Garrison clearly didn’t want to continue filming, Director Clark could only announce the end of filming.

However, just before wrapping up, Emma White, clutching a Brocade Bag, sought out Sebastian Carew.

"Mr. Carew, could I have this item? Or could I buy it from you?"

Emma White’s tone was polite and humble, partly because of Sebastian Carew’s status and partly because she genuinely wanted this Brocade Bag.

Perhaps others didn’t know, but at the moment when the bag hit her, she distinctly heard a cry of pain near her ears, and the hand that had been choking her neck released as if it had been scalded.

Emma White was certain that what lay inside this Brocade Bag was as powerful as a Jade Token.

The luckier part was, she didn’t have to go begging Scarlett Jennings for this thing.

Sebastian Carew, listening to Emma White’s request, furrowed his brow slightly but maintained a graceful and courteous demeanor.

"I’m glad it could help you, but this was a prop given by the program team, so I have to check with them first if I can let you have it."

He then added a reminder, "Or, you could also directly ask the program team if they have any extra."

Hearing these words, Emma White’s eyes seemed to brighten, instantly understanding his implication, and she handed the Brocade Bag back to him without hesitation, then turned to look for the program team.

Sebastian Carew gazed at the somewhat crumpled Brocade Bag, without showing disdain, and casually smoothed it out, preparing to put it away.

Suddenly, Evander Simpson came over, "Why not open the Brocade Bag and take a look?"

His words were cryptic, but the guests all knew what was inside the bag, so they curiously came over.

Sebastian Carew vaguely guessed that he was being reminded, so he followed his words and opened the Brocade Bag in front of the camera.

Yesterday, when several people opened the Brocade Bag, it wasn’t caught on film, but today the filming captured the scene.

Therefore, the audience in the livestream watched as the so-called Life-saving Bag given by the program team contained a piece of Talisman Paper.

Moreover, it was a piece of Talisman Paper that was one-third burned.

"Ah! Why is one part burned?" Ariel Zimmerman was the first to notice the state of the Talisman Paper and shouted out.

Amber Livingston explained promptly,

"This is because the Talisman Paper has been used, generally such an Amulet will automatically burn when encountering evil spirits or accidents, acting as a shield to block a disaster."

Sebastian Carew had just frightened away the female ghost with the Brocade Bag, which counted as a use.

But because the Talisman Paper only made momentary contact to ward off the opponent and was not for inflicting damage, only one-third of its power was used.

"So, can the rest still be used?" Sebastian Carew asked Evander Simpson.

Since he had come over specifically to remind him, it showed that the other might have guessed the Talisman Paper’s effectiveness could potentially diminish after use.

"The effect will surely be reduced, it’s best if you can get the program team to replace it with a new one."

Quincy Zimmerman, who just managed to escape Emma White, arrived just in time to hear Evander Simpson’s words and showed an expression of disbelief.

Is this like buying lettuce, where you use one and then get another?

So, he gestured towards the host.

The host, William Zeller, appropriately explained, "Dear guests, our Life-saving Bag is unique, once used, it’s gone."

Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t help but ask, "Will there be no new ones in the next episode?"

William Zeller smiled slightly, "This Brocade Bag is the only prop for all six programs, it is not issued per episode, so please use it cautiously."

With these words from the host, the faces of the guests subtly changed.

Before, knowing the Brocade Bag contained Talisman Paper, even hearing from Evander Simpson that it was drawn by a Talisman master, they didn’t take it seriously.

They only thought if the Talisman Paper was used, they could get another one.

Who would have thought that the program team would only issue it once!
