They were more like a married pair than just dating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian looked at the rings on their hands and understood immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, they were a married couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, this didn’t really fit their task’s target, but Sebastian didn’t speak up, feeling there must be a reason for Scarlett stopping this couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Scarlett Jennings already took the initiative to speak up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, we’re filming a paranormal exploration reality show and need a couple to do a task with us. Would you be available?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple turned to face the camera with no usual awkwardness, projecting an open and relaxed demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wife was initially surprised but quickly smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you filming that show called ‘Inspiration’? The guesthouse owner mentioned it to us, but my husband and I are checking out this afternoon, sorry…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wife clearly had a gentle, intellectual vibe, and her husband, beside her, was smiling at her as she spoke, clearly implying she was the decision-maker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tender and considerate demeanor had the audience in the live stream exclaiming how refreshing it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is what a real couple looks like. What was that nonsense with the previous two?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is healing!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The couple seems to have a good relationship. The guesthouse’s ‘curse’ probably won’t affect them.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Isn’t the curse meant for couples? They’re already married.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Are they still considered task targets? I don’t think so.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[But why did Scarlett invite them?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[My Sebastian just found a new target!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian Carew thought Scarlett Jennings would insist on gaining their participation, even after rejection. But hearing the wife’s refusal, she also didn’t show much insistence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She simply watched the wife and then suddenly took out a Brocade Bag from her backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian visibly froze upon seeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live stream audience was equally stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wait, isn’t that the life-saving bag given by the program team?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Is she really going to give it away? Why?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I have a bold guess! Did Scarlett see something again?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No, sweet girl, the program said it’s a life-saving amulet! It’s only the second episode, how can you give away the amulet?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, despite the protests of the audience in the live stream, Scarlett Jennings handed the amulet bag to the wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t want to participate in the filming, then please take this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “It’s the amulet from the program team for safety purposes, please carry it with you at all times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Scarlett seemed too serious, and the wife was taken aback, unsure why this young girl was giving her this item. Instinctively, she looked at her husband beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when her husband saw Scarlett handing over the amulet, a moment of coldness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How can we accept this? Why don’t you keep it for yourself? We don’t really believe in these things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man spoke for the first time, his tone gentle and courteous. Yet Scarlett glanced over him with her clear gaze, her almond eyes pale,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t she your wife? Wouldn’t a protective amulet keep her safe, isn’t that good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Scarlett’s tone was light, for some reason, Sebastian faintly sensed that she seemed to have some animosity towards the husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The husband seemed to sense something too, looking deeply at Scarlett, and eventually, he said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though curious, the wife ultimately accepted the amulet from Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thanking her, the two left the restaurant and went on their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian Carew watched them walk away, then turned to Scarlett, not minding being in front of the camera, he asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you give them the amulet? Did you see something again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian’s question was the same as what the program crew and viewers in the live stream wanted to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had been heavily briefed on the amulet’s purpose that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every guest had only one life-saving talisman, and Scarlett gave it away just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something was definitely amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people online speculated if they had been possessed by some malign spirit, like Mr. Guan in the last episode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Scarlett didn’t plan to hide anything when asked. She just said, “She recently has a calamity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was as calm as the wind, yet inexplicably oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian frowned noticeably upon hearing her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He initially thought something had possessed them, needing her to give away the only life-saving talisman, yet he hadn’t expected it to be a calamity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you going to warn her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian didn’t doubt her judgment, but since she made a judgment, it was important to try and inform. After all, it involved a life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett looked at him and replied after a while, “I have no evidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tone seemed to hold a hint of frustration?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sebastian assumed she meant she couldn’t provide evidence for things in metaphysics and fate, so they naturally wouldn’t believe her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Scarlett knew when she said there was no evidence, it was because… the crime had yet to be committed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The live stream audience, upon learning there was indeed a calamity, also left comments, trying to raise the couple’s awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was futile. From their attitude earlier, they clearly weren’t aware of the show ‘Inspiration.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some viewers blamed Scarlett for not warning the woman if she knew such a thing, arguing that regardless of belief, she should be alerted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it’s no different from indirect murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s fans reacted with, [Are you joking? She gave away her only life-saving amulet, what more do you want?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a chance meeting, who would take it seriously if you went up and told them they were going to die?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett didn’t have any obligation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving away a life-saving amulet was already more than enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to this incident, even though Sebastian and Scarlett successfully found a couple to team up with for the task, the live stream viewers were still concerned about the couple who had just left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some viewers even went as far as posting on social media to find the couple’s family or friends, hoping to alert them through those connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were more curious than concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious about what the so-called “calamity” really entailed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-10T07:18:23.777Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e084703e6c69e13baf10585925822471eacb3f57cc3264db4e9536a750a2a85","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-162","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-160",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
