However, Momo Ross was feeling anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she knew how to find the mastermind, the most important thing at the moment was the bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarlett, Master Jennings, will that bracelet keep following me until we find the mastermind? Will it… will it keep making me age?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momo Ross covered her face, unwilling to let the camera capture her unkempt and makeup-free appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, when everyone rushed into the room after hearing her scream, her “natural look” was already livestreamed online, and there were even screenshots with captions circulating online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked at her and suddenly asked, “When you came over, the production team should’ve given you a Brocade Bag, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momo Ross was momentarily stunned by the sudden mention of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have one…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just wear it on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett said casually, yet Momo Ross looked as if she’d been struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience in the livestream recalled Scarlett mentioning the Brocade Bag and suddenly remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh right! Didn’t they say last episode that the production team gave out Protective Talismans, the life-saving kind!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I remember! Last episode, my adorable Jingjing used that talisman to save Scarlett’s adoptive mother! It was said to contain amulets drawn by a master, specifically meant for the guests’ safety!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Momo Ross should have one too, why isn’t she using it?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[She has it! The host gave it to her before they checked in yesterday! All the other guests carry theirs with them, why isn’t she wearing hers?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If she’s not wearing it, can she give it to me? I’m willing to pay!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Momo Ross’s fans were frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Didn’t my sis put that amulet on?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sis, you are too careless, how could you not wear an amulet for your protection!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momo Ross didn’t know the audience was so frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Scarlett Jennings mentioned the Brocade Bag, she’d already forgotten about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you saying… if I wear the amulet, the bracelet won’t be able to cling to me anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momo Ross’s voice was weak, clearly affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings was puzzled as well. Earlier, she had guessed that Momo might have hidden another bracelet, but she didn’t explicitly ask her to hand it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought Momo would have her amulet on her, so even if the bracelet stuck to her, it wouldn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consider it a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from her reaction now, it was clear she hadn’t worn her Protective Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host couldn’t help but ask,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s the Life-saving Bag?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had one too, a gift from Producer Quincy, and he carried it with him at all times. When he gave it to Momo Ross yesterday, he specifically reminded her to keep it close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momo Ross’s face briefly showed guilt before she pointed to the luggage in the corner of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In… the suitcase.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings and the other four guests looked at Momo Ross as if she were an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing the power of the amulets firsthand in the first episode, they wouldn’t even take a bath without keeping them in waterproof bags nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the biggest assurance the production team could provide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought someone would just toss their life-saving amulet aside?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hadn’t she watched the previous episode before joining the show?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Momo Ross had, of course, watched the show. She agreed to join as a replacement guest because of the huge viewership from the first episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she watched the edited version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the two-and-a-half-hour edit from the production team, but the more condensed version edited by netizens based on the team’s version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a movie commentary video, it’s about ten minutes long with an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t even mention the Life-saving Bag’s significance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had no idea the Brocade Bag contained a master-drawn life-saving amulet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, hearing that the bag was used by the former Dashiell Xalvadora, a murderer, Momo Ross didn’t comment but simply tossed it into her luggage corner once she returned to her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Scarlett Jennings now nearly brought her to tears. She forgot about the camera, opened her luggage, and retrieved the Brocade Bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her fingers touched the bag, she distinctly felt the coldness and pressure surrounding her disperse, making her feel much lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, she realized the amulet truly worked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing this made her want to cry even more. If she’d known earlier… wouldn’t she have avoided today’s exhaustion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to that moment, Momo Ross genuinely regretted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a simple variety show participation turn into this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Momo Ross repacked the amulet carefully on her person, the Sea City police arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was a familiar face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing it was the “Inspiration” production team, Daniel Wright personally came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t keep up with the live broadcast, but he watched a replay on the way over and understood the basics of what happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your production team…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Wright wanted to say something but was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he kept silent and turned to Momo Ross to handle the formalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite some superstitious elements, after narrowly avoiding an accident earlier, he maintained a cautious stance towards such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police officially treated it as a case of harming others by stealing ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they collected evidence from the golden bracelet, then packed it in an evidence bag to take away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bracelet’s craftsmanship was distinct, making it easier to trace the people behind it through its style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When storing it as evidence to take away, Quincy Zimmerman reminded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That golden bracelet is a medium for Body Borrowing, already bound with Momo. Taking it away might result in it unexplainably disappearing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quincy Zimmerman repeated Scarlett Jennings’s earlier words, but it didn’t stop him from seeming knowledgeable in front of the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officers responsible for collecting evidence exchanged glances with Daniel Wright. Despite hearing about the bracelet online, they still found it a bit hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The production team continued filming downstairs, as they couldn’t film the police officers on duty nor interrupt the live broadcast again like in the previous episode; otherwise, they truly couldn’t continue the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream audience knew the police arrived and showered the broadcast with gifts, demanding to follow along with the officer hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the team wouldn’t film it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recording statements from Momo Ross and gathering evidence, Daniel Wright prepared to leave with his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to descend the stairs, Scarlett Jennings suddenly slipped away from the cameraman and approached them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1181,"2026-06-10T07:18:23.777Z",1,"novelbin.me","62d1f7f1d80582e32221cd24acef084787b7820c61a05c2129d2f0b906e68f09","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-158","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-156",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
