Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1105

When dealing with supernatural incidents, Shannon and Skylar would occasionally encounter individuals who couldn't see the bigger picture.

In such cases, the most direct and effective methods were necessary. Even temporarily using an immobilization talisman was better than risking the escape of an evil spirit, like how Skylar had planned to break down the door earlier.

These principles were taught at the mystic school, and Skylar refused to believe Shannon was unaware of them.

Shannon listened to Skylar's lecture, glanced at him, and spoke after a moment of silence, "I'm confident."

If she'd been unable to convince Mariota, she would've acted promptly.

Skylar was about to argue further when Shannon added, "Though I've never experienced such a deep bond between parents and children, I understand their deep attachment to each other."

She didn't have a mother, but she did have a father. After returning to the Jensens, Adam and Hector showed her the strength of familial bonds, so Shannon believed she understood.

She'd never felt regretful, but after witnessing Mariota's parents' unrelenting desire to protect her, Shannon for the first time felt a twinge of curiosity for her mother she'd never met.

If Celeste loved her as much as Adam and Hector claimed, would the former have tried her best to protect her when she'd been alone, like Mariota's parents?

She didn't know the answer, but one day she would.

As Shannon fell into silence after saying so, Olivia grew anxious. How could Skylar have no sense of timing? How could he touch on Shannon's sensitive past?

As they'd filmed Sixth Sense together, Olivia was well aware of Shannon's rough upbringing in the Grays and her mother's early passing. She shot Skylar a glare with a look of reproach in her eyes.

She'd originally been cast as the second female lead, only to have Mariota rob her role.

Olivia had a favorable impression of the actress and wanted to greet her. But when her eyes fell on the tray piled with high-calorie breakfast items, her eyes widened in disbelief.

She muttered under her breath, "Are you out of your mind? Eating this much for breakfast."

Even if the actress had been demoted from the second to third lead, there was no need for her to give up. Her figure would be in trouble by the afternoon if she finished all that.

The third female lead noticed Olivia's reaction and the concern in her eyes. She knew the latter was behaving out of goodwill and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."

She then gestured for Olivia to come closer. When Olivia leaned in, she whispered mysteriously into her ear, "I've discovered a new weight-loss tool."
