Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1172

When Shannon had decided to come clean about how she'd obtained the recording, she knew that her actions would draw criticism from traditional mystic masters.

But sometimes strictly following rules wouldn't yield the results she sought.

She knew that there was karma between the girl and Callum, so searching their phones was the quickest way to uncover the truth.

She'd anticipated the consequences after making the decision, so she accepted having her points deducted. But that was all, and there was nothing more than that.

…

With that, the second round of the college tournament concluded with Team Seastone and Team Northgate tied for first place.

Shannon had figured that even if she scored zero in this round, Team Seastone would retain the lead thanks to their leading points in the first round. However since her individual points had impacted the team, she decided to apologize after some thought.

She wasn't acting alone, after all.

"About the points I lost…" Before she could finish, Mike leaned in with a grin.

He asked, "Shannon, can your infant spirit control lottery numbers? Can it change the prize numbers to the one I bought?"

Shannon was utterly at a loss for words. She curtly replied, "It can't."

Lexie shoved Mike aside and said, "Ignore him, Shannon. I'm starving. Let's figure out what we'd have for dinner instead."

Celine chimed in, "I'm craving fried chicken."

Elliot's eyes lit up, and he softly added, "I… I want some too."

Team Seastone didn't know how to respond. Since it was a Team Seastone dinner, did she think it'd be appropriate for her to join as part of Team Northgate?

Myla seemed to realize so, and she awkwardly explained, "I just wanna thank you. If you hadn't given me one of the ghost bottles in the first round, our team wouldn't have achieved our current results. I think I owe you this."

"Deal!" Mike immediately agreed to it. He pointed at Myla and said, "Then you're treating us to fried chicken tonight."

With that, another expense was saved.

"...Fine." And just like that, Myla was roped into their plans.

Neither Team Northgate nor Team Jamborough could understand how Myla managed to integrate so seamlessly with Team Seastone.
