Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 523

Hank knew it was normal for a lady to worry about scars on her face, and he didn't want to fight Cecily at that moment.

But he wasn't a fool. He could discern whether her words earlier were intentional or not.

He was puzzled about why Cecily would do something like that. Why would she accuse Marshmallow when she had always seemed to genuinely like it? Could all of that have been fake?

If she wasn't targeting Marshmallow, could she have been targeting its owner, Shannon?

For the first time, Hank felt like he didn't know her as a sister anymore.

…

After Hector escorted the family doctor to the door, he carefully inquired, "Can you tell what caused the wound on her forehead?"

The family doctor hesitated before replying, "To be honest, the wound on Ms. Snowden's forehead is a bit strange.

"From the outside, it looks like a clean cut from a sharp object, but the inner tissue seems torn as if pulled apart. I can't say for sure what caused it."

Hector listened without much emotion revealed on his face.

He continued smiling as he saw the family doctor out. But after the latter left, he frowned slightly.

Thinking it over, he decided to head back to Cecily's doll room.

Everything in the family knew Cecily loved collecting dolls. Besides her large collection of Barbies, she also collected other custom-made dolls that cost thousands of dollars each.

The fact that Cecily had been injured in her own doll room without any evident cause for the wound was highly suspicious.

Unaware that her doll room was now under scrutiny, Cecily sat alone on her bed after Hank left. Her face which had been teary was now dark and gloomy as she examined the wound on her forehead.

"You said those dolls would help me gain affection levels, but now look at what's happened! My face was fine, and now it's ruined!

"System, say something!"

Although there was urgency in her voice, the system responded in its usual emotionless mechanical tone.

"As long as you continue to increase the affection levels of those around you and absorb their fortune, the wound will heal quickly."
