Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 383

James' fans flooded the chat with their criticism of Kai.

"Who does this kid think he is? Just because he's a little good-looking, he assumes everyone has bad intentions toward him."

"He's so young but so wicked! What a waste of those looks!"

"Jamie is just too friendly to everyone. Women accusing him is one thing, but now even men are trying to slander him. It's ridiculous!"

"Shannon's fellow apprentice is so sensitive. Maybe he went through something terrible before? Only those who've been violated before will think everyone wants to harm them."

"When you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense."

Upon seeing the comments taking an unpleasant turn, other viewers in the livestream couldn't stay silent.

"He just expressed his discomfort, and James' fans became rabid."

"I hate it when people spread nasty rumors. He's just a teenager, for heaven's sake!"

"Remember what Shannon said last episode? Every single word of online bullying will become negative energy and come back to haunt you!"

"He deserves all the scolding for slandering Jamie!"

"Are you denying it?" Kai's eyes narrowed dangerously. Although he didn't think it was necessary to pursue the matter, his kind didn't take being framed lightly and wouldn't stay silent about it. He stared at James icily, ready to attack. However, a soft, warm hand held him back.

Shannon looked at him calmly as she pressed on his fist with a soothing gaze. Kai huffed but did not shake her off. When Shannon was sure Kai wouldn't lash out, she turned her scrutinizing gaze back to James.

"When we first met yesterday, I noticed something unusual about your house of balance compared to others. I wasn't sure why, but now I understand," she said, her eyes clear as if seeing through everything. "You like men, don't you?"

The impact of her words was no less than Kai's accusation earlier. James' eyes flashed with panic, but it was quickly replaced by feigned embarrassment and indignation. "Even if you want to help Kai, you shouldn't defame me like this! How could I possibly—"

"I never slander anyone, and neither does Kai," Shannon interrupted, her voice steady. "If you think this is slander, why don't you tell everyone what you did when you were 17?"
