Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1461

A thought crossed Eddie's mind as he asked, "You're wondering if I agreed to be removed as a mystic arts representative, right? They told me beforehand, and I agreed."

"You agreed?" Shannon asked in surprise.

"Yeah. Season One was a hit, but with a new guest lineup, Mr. Hamilton is worried about keeping the buzz going. Switching me to a guest host might spark more discussion about the show."

Eddie paused briefly before adding, "Plus, you know that I'm a fraud. Now that Mr. Hamilton brought in real experts, I figured I'd step aside before embarrassing myself."

Shannon was rendered speechless. She'd been so caught up with various matters after the show wrapped up that she'd forgotten all about Eddie being a fraud.

But did Eddie not know that O Fox Deity was living in him?

Though O Fox Deity's spiritual energy seemed weak, she'd been capable of entering dreams. There was no reason she would've kept herself hidden for this long unless she was intentionally staying in the shadows.

As Shannon pondered this, she fell silent for a moment and forgot to respond.

Eddie mistook her silence for agreement. Feeling slightly embarrassed, he quickly shifted the topic to break the awkwardness.

"Actually, there's a third reason I took this role."

Eddie beat around the bush. Only after hearing Shannon respond with curiosity did he continue in a conspiratorial tone, "The third reason is that Mr. Hamilton is panicking.

"He's terrified of the curse of the sixth cast member in Season One, and that's why he had me step in as a backup. I'm considered to be in the entertainment industry and regarded as a half-safe option since I survived the dropout."

Well, he did have a few stumbles, but none completely ruined his reputation.

Before this, he'd always assumed they had a superficial relationship. Shannon usually kept a cool and distant demeanor, after all.

This call made him truly happy. "Thank you for making this call, Shannon," he said softly.

It wouldn't matter even if he ended up mocked by the audience in this season.

Listening to his carefree voice, Shannon paused briefly. Then, she corrected him in a serious voice, "You're wrong about one thing. You're not a fraud, and the deity has always been with you.

"If you trust me, try communicating with her in this season."

There might be some surprises waiting for him.
