Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 287

Upon hearing Olivia's accusations, Madeline visibly faltered. Still, she refused to admit her mistake.

"Olivia, I know you're closer to Shannon, but you can't just accuse me like that! That bracelet isn't a priceless artifact at all! Why would I keep one for myself?"

Madeline felt that her reasoning was pretty solid. The viewers as well as the crew members found it hard to believe that a female celebrity like her, who earned tens of millions of dollars per year, would sabotage her own reputation by stealing a gold bracelet that was only worth a few thousand dollars.

Shannon wasn't surprised to see Madeline's refusal to admit the truth. She merely glanced at Madeline's face after that.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that the one who picks up the bracelets won't be selling their life force or their luck. No… they'll be selling their beauty instead. I'm sure you can tell by now, but your face has aged five years overnight."

A look of horror appeared on Madeline's face at that moment.

But Shannon no longer looked at Madeline. She continued, "Although you specifically asked Juniper to give you a repel talisman yesterday in hopes of destroying the bracelet that you've secretly hidden, it's clear that you failed.

"That's why the bracelet is back for you. No matter how many times you throw it away, it will return to your side again. It will stick with you until it completely absorbs every bit of beauty you have left."

Madeline widened her eyes in fear. She couldn't care less about her reputation now. Fear had completely overloaded her senses.

To a female celebrity, nothing else was as important as her face.

Madeline covered her face, refusing to accept this reality. Her voice was already cracking as she blurted out, "How could this be? I followed the steps you performed when you destroyed the bracelet yesterday!"

The moment her words fell, the fans who were still defending her in the comment section fell silent unanimously. For a moment, no one commented anything at all.

As for the crew members who were still doubting Shannon, they all looked speechless.

Alice could already imagine how the viewers would mock and ridicule Madeline at the moment. No matter how enraged she was, she still couldn't bear to give up on Madeline, whom she had spent so much time and energy cultivating.

She thought for a moment before calling Carlos on the phone. "Anyway, please get someone to deal with that bracelet. Please… I owe you a big one if you can help me with this."

Honestly speaking, Madeline's behavior was flawed, but it wasn't unethical. Yes, she'd definitely get mocked and ridiculed for now, but as long as her beauty and acting skills still existed, everyone would eventually forget about it.

Everyone on the Internet had a short attention span anyway.

Most of Madeline's fans were extremely loyal to her. As long as they got to see her face and bask in her beauty, they'd still adore her even if she were to get an abortion, drink and drive, or even do drugs.

Alice firmly believed that Madeline could still retain her fans.
