Mae received an Exorcism Charm from Mervin, a gift that went unnoticed by the rest of the
crew.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Following the host''s lead, the show’s guests arrived at the filming location for the episode, a trendy bed and breakfast set at the
foot of Golden Horizon Hills in Emerald Bay.
This B&B’s im to fame was the love story between the owner and histe wife.
Legend had it that they met on the road, both avid travelers. A chance journey taken together revealed a deep connection, and
they became lovers, traveling through the heart of Silverpine Country.
Tragedy struck when the wife disappeared while capturing sunrise photos in Golden Horizon Hills. Her husband searched the
surrounding hills for nine days with the rescue teams, making headlines with his determination.
The image of him weeping when his wife’s body was found garnered widespread sympathy online.
To honor his wife, the husband gave up his wanderlust life, quit his job, and invested his savings to start the B&B at the base of
Golden Horizon Hills.
Once their love story hit the inte, it drew scores of young followers eager to capture their moments at the now-iconic spot.
“I''m sure you''ve all heard a bit about the B&B’s backstory,” Ned began, briefing the guests on the owners’ tale while exining
the reason behind choosing this location for the episode.
“It''s rumored that recently, couples who stay here tend to break up over trivial matters after leaving.”
While this might seem like bad press for the B&B, there was another twist online, and the ce was being touted as a litmus test
for love.
The theory went that any weak spots in a rtionship would surface here, helping couples to ‘cut their losses‘ early. This im,
too, waspped up by the public, and many visited just to prove their love could withstand such a trial.
“Our main task,” Ned continued, “is to discover the reasons behind these breakups and if there’s any hint of supernatural forces
at y.”
As he spoke, all people exchanged uneasy nces.
Candace was the first to raise a hand.
“Investigating why couples broke up? That''s tough. We don’t know any of them, and how can we tell if the B&B influenced their
breakups? What’s our approach?”
Ned, seemingly prepared for such doubts, smiled and replied, “We had already discussed this

with the B&B owner. You can choose a couple from the current guests, with their consent, to observe as part of your
investigation.”
Without giving the guests a chance to respond, he added with a chuckle, “Of course, if anyone. refuses to be on camera, you''ll
need to get creative. Perhaps form a couple among yourselves and spend a weekend uncovering the B&B''s secrets. That''s why
we suggest pairing off in mixed—gender teams here, just in case you can’t find willing participants.”
The mention of forming couples on a supernatural-themed show left the guests speechless.
Predictably, the live audience, especially the fanbases, went wild.
“Not my fave. He’s too good for this.”
“My girl’s taken by me. No on-screen cheating, not even pretending.”
“| know this B&B. Kaney, wait for us, we’reing to volunteer as your guinea pigs.”
“Seriously? Are you dating behind his back? Not like me. I''ve only got eyes for him.”
“Darn, the B&B''s booked out.”
“The production schedule is too secretive, and | missed my chance to stay with my idol.”
Meanwhile, the guests quickly formed teams, albeit reluctantly. —
Ideally, they''d recruit a couple already staying at the B&B, but if that failed, they''d have to partner up as Ned suggested.
Following the precedent set in the first episode, the pairings happened quickly, Mervin with Candace, Gentry with Mae, and
Winnie with Kane again.
The audience online cried out against this ‘misalliance,’ determined to prevent any fake couple
formation.
Candace, though miffed at not being paired with Kane, swiftly pivoted. When the topic of room. assignments came up, she
latched onto Winnie''s arm.
“I''m bunking with Winnie.” she dered, ncing at Mae with a sly grin, “Don’t get me wrong. Mae. It’s not that | want to ditch
you, but Winnie and I shared a roomst time. We''refy with each other, and besides, | remember you prefer a room to
yourself.”
The chat exploded with reactions to Candace’s remark.
“There she goes, Candace and her deliberately ambiguous speaking.”
“Candace, you''re killing me with honesty, even on live camera. You know you had separate beds, right?”
“No offense. My wife’s just blunt. She usually sleeps with me.”
“Candace really cares for Winnie, like a sister.”
“Like a sister, not adder climber?”

“Is it just me, or is Candace trying to avoid Mae?”
“Jealous much? It’s obvious she’s trying to iste Mae.”
“Three women and they’re ying this istion game? Poor Mae.”
Mae’s fans mixed with Candace’s in thements section, each defending their favorite.
Mae, a bit slow to catch on, smiled and indicated she was fine with the arrangement.
From the start of the show, she seemed a bit out of the loop, but considering the recent scare with the Ruby Bracelet, no one
thought much of it.
Ned had been eavesdropping on the guests as they hashed out room assignments among themselves, smirking as he finally
chimed in.
“Here’s the deal. Because we''ve got an even split of gents anddies this season, the production team’s gone ahead and set
aside two spacious rooms, three to a room.”
At that revtion, the guests could only exchange exasperated nces.
Ignoring the host, they each took to their assigned rooms without further ado.
Come nine o''clock that night, the live feed was promptly cut off by the production crew.
Mae nced at Winnie, who was still enjoying a shower in the bathroom, and then at Candace, who was engrossed in her
smartphone on the other bed. Announcing she was stepping out to grab a drink, Mae slipped out of the room.
She skirted around the crew and made her way to a secluded path behind the inn. Once she was sure she was alone, Mae
cautiously pulled out a ruby bracelet from her pocket.
The bracelet was a spitting image of the one Winnie had been fussing over earlier that day.
