Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 529

As though unaware of the blood, Cecily eagerly shook her head, only to feel her limbs weaken and stumble backward. Hank, originally watching on the side, quickly held her with Linda to prevent her from falling.

Seeing that Cecily had gone unconscious, Adam frowned and turned to Hector, saying, "Call the doctor over. We'll deal with the rest tomorrow. And don't wake Grandpa up."

Hector nodded and calmly affirmed.

Adam's gaze swept across Kai and recognized him as the boy Shannon mentioned on the livestream, not questioning his presence at this ungodly hour either. He glanced at the black-haired doll on the display rack and said, "Put that doll away. We'll deal with it tomorrow."

"Okay." Hector smiled. That was his plan too.

After the ordeal, he asked Kai to help keep the doll safe and walked to his bedroom.

Kai was ready to leave after taking the doll, but Scott halted him. "Wait! Are you leaving just like this?"

Kai was confused. "Things are done here. What—am I supposed to sleep here instead?"

Scott was conflicted. "No, it's just that…" He hadn't uncovered the ghost! What would happen if the emerald pendant shattered after everyone left him to his own devices?

Kai was getting impatient with his dawdling. "Just say what you need to! I'm rushing home to play games!"

At that, Scott thought of an idea. "Are you still trying to boost your rankings? Let me play with you!"

Kai was surprised. "How do you know that?"

Since she was injured and had fainted from agitation, no one dared to say anything for the time being and only told her to be more careful with future doll customizations.

Naturally, Cecily could only nod as a promise. Once she retired to her bed alone, she thought of her carelessness last night and couldn't help but grit her teeth, especially when she had also lost one of her dolls for no reason.

Knowing she had to gather more fortune to speed up the recovery of her wound, she fished out her phone and texted Caleb.

In response, Caleb quickly video-called her, but Cecily unhesitantly declined. After rejecting his calls for the third time, she told him it wasn't a good time and switched to chatting through audio messages instead.

After sensing something amiss, he inquired Thomas about her. At last, he discovered the incident at home.

That night, Caleb rushed home from Rivernray and fought with Scott, Adrian, and Janice. Early the next morning, he left home with Cecily and brought her to Rivernray, under the pretext of finding a quiet place for her to recuperate.
