Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 694

The weeping young girl was none other than Elora, who was aggrieved and angry. Although Philip and Kimberly were pulling her back, they gazed at Cecily with unmistakable doubt and displeasure.

"What have you become, Cecily? You could've just refused to give away the bracelet. Why did you have to do something like this? Elora is your sister, for goodness sake! How could you harm her?" Kimberly screamed.

Likewise, Philip looked at Cecily full of disappointment.

Standing behind Caleb, Cecily looked utterly sad and aggrieved. Her tone sounded stubborn.

"Mom, I didn't do it! Why would I do anything like that? I'd been wearing the bracelet and been fine. I immediately gave it to Elora as soon as she asked for it. You guys saw it!"

She tugged at Caleb, the stubbornness in her voice betrayed a hint of vulnerability. "Cal, you must believe me. I didn't do it."

"Of course, I believe in you. You're not like that." Caleb shot her an understanding and pitying look. Then, he gazed disdainfully at Elora. "It's so obvious that someone, driven by greed, is turning around and slandering you.

"What poison? That's clearly a metal allergy! Why are you blaming others when it's your own problem? You should see a doctor instead of barking at your sister!"

He turned to Philip and Kimberly. "And you guys—is this how you treat a daughter who's been missing home and always giving her best to you? Now that she's back, you're turning against her and ganging up on her?

"Should you really take everything Elora says at face value? Cecily has barely been back for a few days and has already endured so many grievances. Someone, please save her from her pathetic parents!"

Caleb paid no heed to their seniority and berated them as if he were defending the love of his life. At that sight, Shannon halted her steps, found some shade, and stood there to enjoy the show.

Why not watch the spectacle while she was here?

Meanwhile, Philip and Kimberly's fury was through the roof. They knew they couldn't go head-to-head with him given his identity, so they secretly cursed Cecily for turning them into clowns.

What startled Shannon was that this energy felt far more potent than the system's energy she had sensed before, even surpassing the energy from Kiley's system.

No—more accurately, the energy from Kiley, which she had sealed away, was nothing compared to the immense energy emanating from Cecily.

Perhaps it was precisely because it was so feeble that she had been able to easily capture and seal it. If her target was the energy before her then… she lacked the confidence to do it.

That also conveniently explained why Shannon hadn't detected the presence of the Malignant System within Cecily and at the Jensen residence, despite their numerous interactions.

At that moment, she was convinced that the Malignant System was the source of it all. That entity had to be eliminated.

Perhaps sensing the fluctuations of Shannon's spiritual energy, she felt a current from the energy lurking within Cecily reaching out toward her.
