Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 558

Juniper's departure went unnoticed by Kiley.

Compared to Shannon, Juniper had always had a relatively low profile.

After leaving the set, he went straight for Lucy's lounge. To ensure he could thoroughly check the room, he turned on the divine eye with a talisman and pushed the door to the lounge.

…

Lucy forced herself to calm down from the initial panic and was now numb. Her vision hadn't changed at all since it started.

It felt like she was trapped inside something. She couldn't move or speak. There was no response from the outside world no matter how hard she screamed.

All she could do was watch helplessly as Kiley, who had taken over her body, smiled, changed into her clothes, and left.

She kept telling herself to stay calm. Though everything felt outrageous, she reminded herself that the production crew was present and Shannon was incredibly sharp.

Shannon would surely notice something was wrong and save her. She had to believe in that.

The continuous self-assurance was the only thing that kept Lucy from falling into overwhelming fear.

As she waited and hoped someone would notice, she heard the door to the lounge open with a creak. She couldn't turn her head but heard the soft footsteps approaching.

The footsteps weren't hers nor her assistant's. Who could it be?

Lucy's heart was filled with anticipation. Then, she saw Juniper enter her sight.

She watched as he scanned the room and inspected every corner. Hope surged in her heart.

"Juniper, I'm here!

From her trapped perspective, Lucy felt a surge of hope as he approached. She tried to make some noise to signal her presence, but there was nothing she could do.

She watched as Juniper stood before her like a towering giant and reached out to pick her up.

Pick up? It was only now that Lucy finally realized what was happening. She finally understood where she was trapped all this time.

She was in a doll—the fan-made doll she had kept in her lounge.

She often shared photos of her dolls on Twitter, and many of her fans knew she was a fan of ball-jointed dolls. They would often share photos of their dolls in her comment section.

One particular fan who interacted with her frequently had made this custom Flourish doll for her after seeing her character's finalized look in The Flourishing Age.

She had been so fond of it and kept it by her side as a protective talisman when there were recent haunting rumors.
