Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 673

Cecily had no idea that her small gesture was noticed.

Seeing that Linda had silently accepted the divorce, George said nothing and showed no further emotion.

Then, he spoke in a deep tone, "I won't interfere since you both have made your decision. But I don't want to see this matter being publicized too much."

His final words were directed at Alex. Both Alex and Linda were in the entertainment industry, and journalists eagerly latched onto any news, especially divorces.

Even before they had officially been married back then, rumors about their relationship had long been circulating.

If news of their divorce got out, it would undoubtedly stir a media frenzy.

Alex nodded in understanding. "We won't make a public announcement for now. Eva is still young, and I'm worried she won't be able to handle the news.

"I discussed it with Linda, and we decided she'll temporarily stay abroad under the pretext of furthering her studies. Then, we'll announce the divorce after a few years."

This idea was a suggestion by Adam, who no longer wanted to see Linda around. The rest of the family including George approved of Alex's plan, and Marie had nothing more to say.

They swiftly settled Alex and Linda's divorce, while the younger Jensens were just involved in the process. Hank felt the most unsettled. He wanted nothing more than to return to his room once the divorce was resolved.

Cecily wanted to follow, but before they could leave, Hector spoke in a pleasant voice, "Since everyone is gathered today, I have something I'd like to formally bring up and seek the family's opinion on."

As their gazes met, Cecily's heart sank. She had an inexplicable ominous feeling.

Sure enough, his clear unhurried voice echoed through the room in the next moment.

"Cecily has been living with the Jensens for years now. The family has raised her as one of our own, but she's not truly a member of the Jensens."

Then, his slow glance swept toward Cecily. His voice remained unhurried as he continued, "She's now 18 and has been accepted into a good university.

"Given that, I feel it's no longer appropriate for her to continue staying here."
