Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 432

Eva instinctively raised her head to look, but Shannon had withdrawn her hand. "You should listen to the adults, but not everything they say. You must learn how to differentiate right from wrong."

Shannon's tone sounded flat, and Eva gazed at her in a daze. It was unknown whether she understood her.

Without caring whether Eva got her point, Shannon turned around and played with Marshmallow. She had just taken a step when someone tugged at the hem of her shirt.

Eva looked up at her, looking frustrated and dissatisfied. "Do you… Do you… dislike me?"

Shannon was surprised at her statement. Gazing at the girl before her, she retorted softly, "Aren't you the one who disliked me first?"

Stunned, Eva recalled something and immediately flushed red. "Y-You're holding a grudge! I said sorry last time!"

Previously, Shannon refused to give her bedroom to her, and she had indeed cried, expressed her dislike, and even told her to leave their house. Eventually, George and Alex had to step in and force her to apologize.

"Oh." Shannon's reply was brief.

Eva couldn't help but stomp her feet again and tugged at Shannon's hem. "Then… I'll stop disliking you from now on. You can't dislike me either!" Her tone carried a hint of spoiled arrogance, but her eyes seemed to be pleading, "Please?"

Standing before her, Shannon reluctantly nodded in agreement at last.

While Shanon played with the kids for almost 30 minutes, Linda struggled to keep her cool under the pressure from the Shaws and Gibsons. Before she reached her breaking point, they finally announced their departure.

They were only here for Shannon, so they left once they achieved their goals.

Shannon put Linda's matter to the back of her mind. Due to Wyatt and Mavis' visit, she read the news and comments online.

The online discussions continued to revolve around Otis' mental health assessment. The topic resurfaced when someone captured footage of Otis, covered in blood, being transported by the police to the hospital for treatment.

Reporters, upon hearing the news, rushed to the scene and learned that he had been admitted to the hospital due to self-harm. At that point, everyone arrived at the same conclusion.

"Oh, no. He's actually a nut job. He's even cutting himself."

Before the authorities could take action regarding Otis' behavior, the Gibson family, along with 16 other prominent families in Seastone, united to file a lawsuit. They even hired renowned mental health experts and lawyers specializing in mental illness-related lawsuits, both domestically and internationally.

The Internet users were thrilled by the phenomenon. For the first time, they were excited to see wealthy individuals using their influence and resources for a righteous cause.
