Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 497

In just a few minutes, Shannon's attempt had undoubtedly exceeded Skylar's. He couldn't help but turn grim when she announced her victory.

Even Marvin remained in disbelief. "You put so much on yourself just to win a duel?" He assumed Shanon had used all her spiritual energy to garner the huge storm.

Shannon, on the other hand, thought it was a walk in the park. Regardless, she replied sincerely, "I don't like losing."

Marvin was speechless at her competitiveness. He waved in dismissal and commented, "Kids nowadays just can't lose." Then, he turned to Skylar and displayed an authoritative demeanor. "Shannon has won this round. Do you have any objections?"

Skylar's lips twitched. Did he have other choices? With a long face, he replied, "No objections," and solemnly told Shannon, "You won."

A rare smile appeared on Shannon's face. Meanwhile, the livestream audience had mixed feelings upon seeing her smugness.

"If this doesn't secure her victory…"

"Shannon won! I can't believe I doubted her… Ugh, I don't deserve to be her fan!"

"I'm sorry; I was foolish. I judged too quickly and worshiped a man too blindly."

"Look, Skylar Fumblefoot actually fumbled this time."

"I can finally breathe! Oh, my. That was terrifying!"

Pressured by the surrounding gazes, Skylar was slightly reluctant but soon composed himself. He didn't break his promise but turned to Olivia instead. "I'm truly sorry for all the hurtful words I've said to you." After a pause, he solemnly added, "I must emphasize that I didn't mean to bully you."

He meant making Olivia cry, which was an accident.

Initially dazed, Olivia was surprised to receive Skylar's prompt yet genuine apology. She smiled, but upon recalling the gentle and fragile facade she had put up before him, she forced a delicate and forgiving look. "It's okay. I'm not mad at you anymore."

At that, Skylar seemed relieved and was about to say more when Olivia "kindly" added, "I was fake crying anyway."

He was rendered speechless.
