Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 592

Connor sincerely believed that Rachel died because of Shannon, even if the latter wasn't the perpetrator.

Had Shannon not turned a blind eye to the misfortunes happening to Rachel, he and his sister wouldn't have ended up where they were. Not to mention, the true perpetrator—the dark cultivator—targeted Rachel because of Shannon.

No matter how he looked at it, Rachel indeed became the victim of Shannon's entanglements.

"You think Rachel died because of me?" Shannon confronted him without hesitation.

A flicker of panic appeared in his eyes, and he quickly sighed, saying, "Shannon, it's all in the past. Now, can we—"

"You're wrong," Shannon interjected him and couldn't care less about what he had to say. "Rachel died because of the death calamity she was supposed to face when she turned 18. That car accident was meant for her. But I took it for her while she lived on."

Hector couldn't help but frown when hearing that Shannon took the calamity for Rachel. He knew about the accident, and it was precisely because of that incident that he realized she was the missing sister he had been looking for.

To his surprise, there was more to that car accident. Suddenly, Hector thought Rachel deserved her demise.

"Like I said, with her fate, the only thing she could do was commit more acts of charity to reduce her misfortunes. But all you guys did was turn a blind eye to my advice. Even if she was alive today, she'd still meet her demise in other ways.

"What makes you think I have to be responsible for the sinful deeds your family has committed?"

His tone might seem polite, but it was full of aloofness. "As for leaving the past behind… I think you've seriously misunderstood, Mr. Gray. Shannon has long forgotten about you and your family. The ones opposing the Grays are my family, the Jensens."

A seemingly bright but cold smile accompanied Hector's last words. Connor had encountered plenty of businessmen with his father and saw himself as somewhat composed. Yet when meeting Hector's gaze, Connor only felt anxiety and a sense of foreboding.

He could at least bring up stories from the last 18 years when facing Shannon, but he couldn't utter a word when his opponent was Hector. At that moment, he finally realized the Grays had offended someone they shouldn't have.

It was manageable when they only dealt with Shannon. But now that the entire Jensen family was involved… He felt rather pessimistic and regretted not winning over Shannon back then.

Hector's goal in his statement was straightforward—he wanted Connor to face reality and stop putting all the blame on Shannon.
