Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 310

"Do these ashes seem familiar to anyone?"

"Aha! I know the answer! In the previous episode, when Vinny used the talisman to save someone, there were these ashes as well!"

"I've heard that when a talisman wards off a disaster, it turns into ashes! Is that really true then?"

"It turns out that the life-saving satchel Shannon gave her really did save her life!"

"Whoa! How powerful is this talisman? Quick, drop the link on where we can get one!"

"Me too! Please share the link!"

"Come on! Hurry up and share the link! Don't make me beg on my knees for it!"

Everyone around seemed to have a vague idea about the ashes, but Zachary was clueless. When he saw Quinn open her hand, he was somewhat bewildered. "What's this supposed to mean, Quinn?"

Seeing that he was still putting on an act, Quinn sneered and remarked, "You don't know what this is? It's the ash from the talisman in the life-saving satchel that Ms. Jensen gave me—the one you secretly threw away."

If she hadn't experienced it herself, Quinn wouldn't have believed that something so magical could actually exist.

As she fell off the cliff, she truly believed she was going to die. Yet, as she landed, it felt as though some force had cushioned most of the impact. Although she still felt some pain, she could feel that she wasn't as badly hurt as she expected.

Upon hearing this, Zachary's expression flickered. Quinn's eyes were filled with bitter sorrow as she looked at him and said, "If I hadn't found out halfway that you had thrown away the satchel in my bag, I'd never believe you'd push me off a cliff…

"You threw it away because you heard it could save my life, right? Are you afraid that I might actually survive, Zachary?"

"No way!" Zachary denied. "How can you accuse me of that, Quinn? And all because of a satchel? It was truly an accident! You were the one who suggested the hike. How could I—"

As they were going at it, Shannon finally spoke up again with her usual calmness, saying, "We'll see if you did it or not when the police have conducted their investigation."

She studied Zachary, her eyes lingering on his face. After a moment, she stated, "Your house of value is fading, and there's a significant change in your house of balance… It seems that you've been facing financial difficulties lately."

Upon hearing that, Zachary’s expression changed immediately.

A sudden realization dawned on Quinn, and she looked at Zachary in disbelief as she asked, "What? You did this for money? Is it about the investment you mentioned earlier? You were willing to take my life over that small amount of money?"

Zachary sneered and said, "You actually even dare to say that it was a small amount of money. You, an heiress of such privilege, would naturally disdain such an amount. If it's not worth anything to you, why did you let your father stop me from going through with the investment?

"You all think I'm beneath you, that I'm destined to fail! It infuriates me… I wanted your father to pay for what he's done."

He clutched his head in anguish, his voice laden with remorse as he continued, "It was only a fleeting thought, I swear. I never intended to harm you. I don't know what came over me…"
