Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 679

Due to Cecily's overwhelming frustration, her eyes, filled with an uncontrollable look of resentment, betrayed her. Marie caught a glimpse of it and felt her heart skip a beat.

Cecily instantly realized her mistake and swiftly composed herself. To make her side of the story consistent, she gritted her teeth and unhesitatingly nodded, saying, "Whatever you say, Grandma. I'm fine with your arrangement as long as you're well."

Obedient and mindful as always, her reaction made Marie doubt whether she had hallucinated the resentful gaze she saw earlier.

"Yeah, I must've been mistaken. Cecily is such an obedient child. She's not even making a scene and instantly concurring when I switched up my words. She truly means everything she says," Marie thought.

What a pity…

Marie gazed at Cecily and couldn't contain her feeling of loss and helplessness when recalling Hector's words.

By then, the rest of the family was dying of curiosity. What on earth did they talk about? Marie was just declaring her authority ten minutes ago. What made her change her mind so quickly? What did Hector do to her?

Having piqued everyone’s curiosity, Hector stood behind Marie, smiling at the eager gazes directed at him and remaining mysterious.

In reality, he only showed a few photos and videos to Marie when they were private.

Those photos and videos captured Cecily and Caleb's daily activities in Rivernray during her recovery, many of which showed their intimate moments in public.

When Marie looked at Cecily, she recalled the footage she had seen earlier. Given Cecily's forehead injury, most of the photos depicted Caleb's "peculiar" way of caring for her.

Whenever they left the house, he would hold her hand or her shoulders. At times, he would wrap his arm around her waist, as if afraid she might stumble.

The third part was in the hospital corridor. Cecily seemed sad sitting in her seat while Caleb comforted her. Suddenly, she lunged into his arms, and he reciprocated the hug with a stolen kiss on her head.

As if to ensure Marie saw every detail of their interactions, all three clips had been edited and enhanced for clarity. Hence, she witnessed the undeniable intimacy between the two.

It arrived at a point where Marie couldn't defend what she saw—Caleb and Cecily indeed had an incestuous relationship. Anybody would've believed they were a couple judging from the clips.

What baffled her was how normal and familial they appeared at the Jensen residence, in stark contrast to their behavior in the footage. Or perhaps they had acted out of line at home without her knowledge.

The final nail in the coffin for Marie to exile Cecily was actually Hector's final words.

"Aside from Caleb, Hank similarly has feelings for Cecily. I'm dead set on sending her away because I don't want any ridiculous scandals to come out of this. You wouldn't want the outside world to say we've been grooming her to be a child bride for Caleb or Hank, would you?"
