Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1161

The news report stated that the police had discovered body parts hidden in the freezer during the investigation of the property manager's death.

Callum's body was dismembered into multiple bags. Some parts were stored in the freezer, and some were dumped in a landfill.

It was no wonder Andre was filled with such hatred at the mention of Callum's death. Not only had Callum been murdered, but he'd also been dismembered. What parent wouldn't collapse from grief?

Unfortunately, the police had just determined that Callum was killed by the property manager. They had no idea why.

Shannon exchanged glances with her team. They'd basically confirmed that the property manager was Callum's first target for revenge. Callum had turned into an evil spirit by killing and devouring his soul.

But what connection could there have been between a property manager and a resident's kid?

Though dismemberment could fuel a ghost's tremendous grudge, Shannon could tell there was more to the story.

As they mulled it over, the mystic practitioner called for Andre and said that the ritual was about to begin. Shannon's team had come under the guise of Callum's classmates, so they couldn't leave just like that. They decided to stay and observe.

The mystic practitioner seemed experienced and wasn't bothered by them watching. He kept a serious look and led his disciples around the table while ringing a bell. All the while, he chanted.

The mystic masters watching the livestream were equally caught off guard by the unexpected ritual. Students majoring in rites perked up immediately and started offering professional critiques.

"The setup of this altar is pretty sloppy."

"The hand position holding the amulet is all wrong."

"He looks like some rogue cultivator."

But as they continued analyzing, they realized something was wrong. It was the same for Shannon and her team.

Skylar stepped forward and interrupted the ritual. "This isn't a ritual for a cross over! You're chanting a ghost slayer spell!"

As he spoke, his voice faltered. An expression of disbelief flickered across his face. "But that's impossible! My wife would never do that!"

"Where is she?" Skylar asked.

If she'd invited the mystic practitioner, why wasn't she present for the ritual?

Andre paused. Then, he muttered, "She said she couldn't bear to watch, so she avoided it…"

Her explanation hadn't struck him as off, but now that he thought about it, it didn't make sense. Callum was her biological son, and if the ritual was meant to help him move on to his next life, why would she want to avoid it?

Shannon listened carefully, and her gaze shifted back to the mystic practitioner.

She figured that they were getting closer to the truth. Callum's mother was hiding something.
