True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules ( Winnie and Suzan ) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 

On the other end of the line, Winnie listened to Baily for a split second before promptly. activating the video function on her smartphone

Baily, without hesitation, accepted the video call. The man who just yesterday had been the picture of savvy in his crisp attire now appeared visibly haggard on the screen

Through the video, Winnie observed the dark circles under Bally’s eyes and the faint aura of gloom that seemed to surround him. She said, You’ve definitely got some residual bad vibes. clinging to you. But they seemed just to play a prank on you and they’re gone now

Her tone was casual, but Baily bulged his eyes out at her words, his voice shifting In Incredulity, A prank?! I nearly died!” 

What kind of sick joke was that?! He had thought he was a goner for sure

Yep.Winnie continued, unfazed by his shock, When I gave you the Charm, you didn’t look like a man marked for death.” 

That meant that even though Baily had a ghostly encounter, the spirit wasn’t out to kill him

In the world of hauntings, as long as the intent wasn’t to send someone to an early grave, it could be considered a prank

Judging by the ghostly energy lingering on Baily, he had encountered a poltergeist

The ghost had been repelled by her Protection Charm and wouldn’t be troubling Baily for the time being, so Winnie wasn’t worried

Hearing this, Baily was on the verge of tears

So as long as he wasn’t dead, it was fine to scare him half without reservation

Despite Winnie’s assurance that the poltergeist had departed, Baily couldn’t shake his unease

He insisted on buying a few more Charms from Winnie

She thought it unnecessary but wasn’t one to turn down business, A Safety Charm is three grand apiece, and a Protection Charm is six grand apiece” 

What’s the difference?asked Baily

The Safety Charm boosts your personal good fortune and ensures smooth sailing. The Protection Charm guards the bearer, fending off misfortune.” 

Baily cut her off before she could finish explaining, desperation in his voice, I’ll take ten of each!” 

Winnie sighed. No hoarding or reselling

Baily chuckled bitterly. I wouldn’t dream of it. But as you know, our production crew is in the early stages of planning. We’re bound to encounter more spooky stuff, and I need to be

prepared for my crew.” 

He had a point, and Winnie reluctantly agreed

Baily wanted to doublecheck about his predicament, but as he glanced back at the screen, he saw what seemed to be a doll perched on Winnie’s shoulder

Blinking, he found that the doll was moving

A chill ran through Baily, his hand trembling as he held the phone

Master Bryanton your shoulder, there seems to be” 

Winnie, noticing his voice and the video feed shaking, glanced down to find Ghost Baby curiously peering at the phone screen, unaware of how it had climbed up there

Baily, already low on luck and fresh from a ghostly encounter, was understandably spooked. Winnie explained, That’s Ghost Baby, a little spirit I’m looking after temporarily. Don’t worry 

about it.” 

Baily widened his eyes again. After a long pause, he abruptly ended the video call

Unperturbed, Winnie soon received an address from Baily

She gathered up Ghost Baby and went to her desk, pulling open a wooden box filled with neatly organized Charms she’d previously crafted. Counting out twenty, she bundled them up and sent them off to Baily’s address with a flick of her wrist

Glancing at the now depleted stock, Winnie decided to take advantage of her solitude, with Drake out, to craft a few more

She arranged the birthmark for the Charms. As she focused her energy, the Spirit Gathering Array at her feet began to draw in energy from all around

Winnie, with a sober aura, dipped her brush. In the moment of contact, a burst of Spirit Gathering Array emanated from beneath the bristles

Before she could finish the draft, a golden flash leapt from a small gift box on the side, merging with the light at her brush tip

The Charm blazed with a newfound brilliance under her hand, yet she instinctively completed the final draft. As the Charms were completed, a flash of gold light zipped through it and then vanished

Staring at the finished Protection Charms, Winnie noted that the Spirit Gathering Array imbued within it was more potent than any she had made before

Her gaze then fell on the small gift box on the desk. Inside was a cross necklace that Drake had given her

Opening the clasp, she noticed a faint golden glow emanating from the tails of the cross

This energy undoubtedly came from a master

She hadn’t expected that something passed down from Drake would carry such light, and this light… 

Just as she had suspected, it could significantly enhance the power of her Charms. And it was surprisingly useful

Winnie felt her commitment to her path wavered slightly

When what typically required diligent practice to improve suddenly had a shortcut, the temptation was hard to resist

She looked at the cross necklace, a rare struggle showing on her face. After a long moment. she covered her heart with a hand. With some difficulty, she put away both the necklace and the enhanced Protection Charms

There were no shortcuts in spiritual practice. What belonged to others could never be yours

It she grew dependent on Drake, her skill in charmmaking would stagnate

Of course, she decided to keep a few of the goldinfused Thunder Charms on hand for emergencies

To Winnie, that seemed perfectly reasonable

The preparation for the Ghostly Guidance show was moving faster than Winnie had anticipated. Almost as soon as Starfall Entertainment had wrapped up the contract with LimeLight, the buzz about the show’s upcoming premiere was already spreading online
