Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 559

Who would've thought that the haunting on the set was indirectly protecting Lucy, while the fan-made doll she considered a talisman trapped her?

As Juniper's face zoomed larger in her view, Lucy gathered every ounce of her soul's strength to cry out for help.

But to Juniper, the doll in front of him emitted no unusual presence despite its eerie resemblance to Lucy. He placed the doll back down after scrutinizing it for a few seconds.

Lucy was overwhelmed by despair the moment she was returned to her spot. Though she wanted to scream and sob in desperation, her soul remained trapped and locked her emotions in.

"Don't go… Don't leave. Please save me.

"I don't want to be stuck in this doll… Please save me…"

But no one heard her cries. Lucy heard the lounge door close and the footsteps faded away as if the world was abandoning her.

…

Juniper's departure and return went unnoticed by the film crew. Shannon and "Lucy" had resumed filming by the time she returned, but the scene was stuck in a loop of endless retakes.

Steve was frantic and frustrated as the sun began to set and daylight faded fast.

Shannon noticed Juniper's return and his subtle shake of the head. She frowned and knew that he hadn't found any clues in the dressing room.

Since there weren't any clues about what had happened to Lucy, the only solution was to forcibly retrieve her soul, but it came with a great risk. If her soul was still in her body, one wrong move could damage her soul.

Shannon momentarily spaced out while being lost in thought. It gave Kiley, who had been getting scolded all afternoon, the perfect opportunity to shift the blame.

"Mr. Huntsman, it's not that I can't get into character but look… Shannon's been distracted this whole time. How am I supposed to act like this?" she complained.

Her tone was filled with grievance, and others would have thought Shannon had been zoning out all afternoon if they didn't know better.

Shannon's words nearly sent Kiley's eyes burning with rage. She might have cursed Shannon right there and then if not for the ongoing livestream.

She was the female lead, so how dare an extra like Shannon speak like that?

Kiley threw what she thought to be a furtive glance at Shannon, but the latter sensed the look with her sharp instincts and calmly returned it with a cool gaze.

The moment Kiley met Shannon's eyes, she quickly averted her gaze and felt guilty as if the eyes seemed to see right through her.

But Shannon didn't intend to let it slide. She kept her gaze steady and spoke again, "Since Lucy isn't feeling well today, why don't we all play a game to relax?"

Seeing Shannon casually suggest playing a game, Olivia immediately picked up on her intent. She chimed in without waiting for Kiley to object, "Great idea! What should we play?"

"Truth or dare," Shannon replied and pulled out a talisman. "But with a truth talisman to ensure honesty."
