Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1101

"It's different from other shadow spirits. It takes my words because… because it loves me!"

Martha's words shocked everyone in the room.

Olivia, who'd been trembling from fear moments earlier, couldn't resist poking her head out from behind Skylar. Her curiosity was piqued.

She looked at Martha then at the human form shadow spirit behind her and gasped. Was this a romance between a shadow spirit and a human?

"Something's not right." Olivia suddenly remembered something and pointed at the unconscious man on the couch.

"If you're a couple with the shadow spirit, what's going on with him?"

Was the man a lover?

Everyone followed her finger and recalled the man who they'd all forgotten. Though Olivia didn't recognize him, Austin did.

To be exact, he knew who the man was the moment he heard the latter's name outside the door. "He's Wesley Blackmore, son of the web drama investor."

Olivia turned to Austin with a meaningful look. Sure enough, he'd known about Martha's ties to the investors all along!

Austin didn't bother to explain himself. He'd just seen Wesley at banquets, but that didn't mean they were in cahoots.

Instead of feeling embarrassed after hearing Austin's introduction, Martha looked quite proud. "That's right. He's my boyfriend."

Then, she looked at the shadow spirit behind her and continued, "And this is another shadow spirit deeply in love with me. Though it's just Wesley's shadow, it loves me as much as he does, so I love it too."

Shannon didn't bother probing further. She stepped forward and grabbed the shadow spirit to investigate the state of the souls it'd consumed.

The shadow spirit had been injured by the talisman and further weakened by Skylar's ghost slayer spell. Though Wesley had blocked part of the attack, it was in no condition to escape.

Shannon wasn't worried about it retaliating.

After a long moment, she sensed two distinct soul remnants within the shadow spirit. Both were tied to Martha by the 4th house.

She set the shadow spirit aside and had her answer.

The two soul remnants were Martha's parents.
