Chapter 161
Winnie, since joining the show, had rarely made waves or sought attention.
Kane had noticed that whenever she did decide to speak up, it usually meant she
had spotted something important.
Following her gaze to the couple she had just addressed, Kane pondered what
could be so special about them.
Surely, they weren't another pair of cheaters.
The Couple stopped by Winnie were clearly older than the typical lovebirds
staying at the bed. and breakfast. Instead of looking like honeymooners, they
bore the comfortable air of a long—married couple.
His eyes fell on the rings on their fingers, and understanding dawned on him.
They were indeed married.
Technically, this didn’t align with the show's target demographic of couples in the
honeymoon phase of their relationship, yet Kane didn't interject. He had a hunch
that Winnie had a reason. for approaching them.
“Hello,” Winnie started with a friendly smile. “We're shooting a paranormal
investigation show. and we're looking for a couple to join us in a challenge.
Would you be interested?”
The couple, unfazed by the camera swinging their way, came across as naturally
at ease.
The wife, taken aback at first, quickly broke into a warm smile.
“You mean “Ghostly Guidance“? The innkeeper mentioned it, but my husband
and I are checking out this afternoon, so,I'm afraid we can't. Sorry about that.”
She had the kind of soft intellectual charm that immediately put others at ease,
and her husband, smiling gently at her side, seemed content to let her take the
lead.
Their tender, caring dynamic was a breath of fresh air to the viewers who had
witnessed far less wholesome interactions on the show.
Comments started pouring in from the live feed:
“Finally, some real relationship goals compared to those other train wrecks.”
“Is the B&B “curse’ going to skip them? They're solid.”
“But are they even the kind of couple the show is looking for?”
“Why did Winnie invite them then?"
“Kane looked like he was onto something.
When the wife politely declined, Winnie didn't press further, but her gaze lingered
on the
woman. Reaching into her backpack, she pulled out a small velvet pouch,
causing Kane to

blink in surprise.
The viewers were equally stunned.
“Wait, isn't that the protective charm the crew handed out for safety?”
“Why would she give that away? What does she know?”
Despite the viewers* virtual protests, Winnie handed the pouch to the wife.
“If you're not up for the filming, at least take this,” she said, holding out the velvet
pouch. “It's a protection charm from the crew, for safety. Please keep it with you.”
The wife hesitated, a puzzled frown crossing her face as she looked to her
husband for guidance.
Upon seeing the charm, a fleeting shadow crossed his eyes, but it quickly passed
and was replaced by a polite demeanor. “We couldn't possibly accept that,” he
said, “We don't believe in such things.”
His voice was soft and polite, but Winnie's sharp gaze seemed to pierce through
the pleasantries.
“She is your wife. If a simple charm can keep her safe, wouldn't you want that?”
There was an edge to Winnie's tone, and Kane felt the tension. The husband
locked eyes with Winnie for a moment longer, then relented.
Though still a bit bewildered, the wife accepted the charm and thanked Winnie
before the couple left the dining area.
Once they were gone, Kane turned to Winnie, curiosity etched on his face,
momentarily forgetting the camera was still rolling.
“Did you give them your protection charm because you sensed something?”
The same question was on everyone's minds, both within the show's crew and
among the online audience. The significance of the protection charm had been
stressed that morning, and it was a lifeline, and Winnie had just casually handed
hers away.
Something was off.
Online speculations ran wild, and was the couple cursed or haunted, like Mr.
Henderson from the previous episode?
Winnie didn’t dodge the question, “She’s facing a severe threat soon.” Her words
were calm but carried an eerie weight that settled over Kane.
He frowned, processing her words.
“You're not going to warn her?”
Kane trusted Winnie's intuition, but if she was so certain, why not try to warn
them more directly?
Winnie glanced at him, the frustration clear in her eyes, “No evidence.”
Kane assumed she meant there was no tangible proof of the metaphysical
danger that would convince the skeptical couple.
But what the viewers and Kane didn’t know was that Winnie's reluctance was
rooted in something else, and the crime hadn't happened yet.
She had no evidence.
The chat exploded with messages as viewers tried to alert the couple to the
danger they might be facing.

Failing to do so, they claimed, was akin to being an accessory to murder.
Winnie's fans fired back with snark, asking if the critics were for.real. “She gave
away her only Protection Charm, what more do you want from her?” they retorted
online.
No one was going to pay attention if she started chasing strangers around, telling
them they were about to die. Winnie wasn't obligated to do any more than she
had.
Giving someone a Protection Charm was already going above and beyond.

Some netizens even took to social media, trying to track down the couple's family
and friends in a bid to pass on the warning.
Their actions seemed less about concern and more about curiosity.
They were all dying to know, and what exactly did this “severe threat” look like?
