TimeNovelEveryone was stunned to see Felicia collapse to the ground.
Was Maude the real deal and had skind of supernatural power? Fawn stared at Felicia, who had collapsed next to her. She was already badly shaken before Felicia fell to the ground. Right now, it was as if her heart might stop from sheer fright.
Vespera furrowed her brows as she stared at Maude in a daze.
"What did that woman say to Felicia?" Yasmine leaned over and whispered to Vespera, who did not respond. Rebecca stood next to Vespera, also staring intently ahead. Based on Felicia's expression, she didn't seem to be pretending.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid Maude really mention Felicia's secrets and fears to her? But her secrets and fears...
Vespera and Rebecca couldn't help but exchange glances.
Was the woman Tina? But that couldn't be. That woman was definitely not Tina- the age and figure didn't seem right. That meant she had to be Selena! Selena was the one who rescued Tina and got to know the Munoz family's secrets. It was Selena who was stirring up trouble here.
With that in mind, a chill ran down Vespera and Rebecca's spines. As they scanned the crowd of masked women, they realized that another benefit of the masquerade meant that Tina could inadvertently blend into the crowd undiscovered.
Yasmine looked at their odd expressions and asked nervously, "What is it? What do you know?" Before Vespera and Rebecca could answer, they heard voices ahead, so they quickly hurried forward to have a look.
"Madam, was I right?" Selena stared at Felicia with an air of superiority.
The crowd couldn't see Selena's eyes, which were hidden under the mask. But they couldn't help but feel that she was smiling.
Her smile wasn't the type that would make others feel at ease. Instead, it was as if she was smiling because she had caught her prey.
Felicia gaped but couldn't say a word. It was as if she had lost her voice, like someone had poisoned her.
Emily and another woman helped Felicia up. "Don't be scared. Ms. Wyndham won't reveal your secrets. You just have to tell the crowd whether what she said was real," Emily said reassuringly.
"Yes... Yes." Felicia nodded while doing her best to remain calm. It was as if someone had a hold over her. After coming to their senses from the magical performance, the surrounding guests began to whisper among themselves.
"Is it really that magical?" "Did Mrs. Dawson plant that woman among us?" "I won't believe such supernatural trickery." "Don't say that. The opposite of science on the spectrum is metaphysics. There are tons of things science can't explain." "Anyone who doesn't believe in this can go and try." The older women and younger ladies began egging others on.
Under similar circumstances in the past, Rebecca was always the type to step forward and play these games where she could expose the trick. But at the moment, Vespera was clinging to her tightly while sending her a meaningful look not to act rashly.
Rebecca gestured silently that she had no intention of doing so. Selena was a woman who was brazen enough to kill the police and rescue Tina. Selena was no different from a terrorist! Emily echoed everyone's words. "Who else wants to try?"
Since no one moved, she continued, "Don't be shy. Whether Ms. Wyndham truly possesses the talent, or whether I planted this woman here, your doubts will be answered if you cup and try. "Okay, let's make this more interesting. We'll switch things up. Anyone who dares to step forward and let Ms. Wyndham read their fortunes will have their masks taken off once it's over." Upon hearing Emily, no one uttered a word or stepped forward.
Was there really anyone in the room who had no secrets or remained om completely innocent Even if one had no secrets to hide, no one wanted to be put on display for others to make fun of. "Since no one wants to try, Ms. Wyndham will choose someone."
