Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 717

"Cecily! How dare you come back here!" Scott yelled.

After learning that Cecily had placed all those harmful things in the house, he could no longer maintain his politeness.

Disgust was written all over his face, as if he wanted to throw her out of the Jensen residence right away.

But after taking a closer look at her, he couldn't help but wonder aloud in confusion, "They said Cecily's back, but is this her?"

He turned to Thomas, standing beside him, who scrutinized Cecily for several seconds before he confirmed that she was indeed so. "Mr. Jensen, it's indeed Cecily."

But for some reason, she looked much rougher than before.

Scott had never been one to hold back his thoughts. He smirked when he saw how bundled up Cecily was and remarked, "Cecily, are you trying to dress like a zombie in broad daylight? Or have all the evil things you've done finally caught up to you?"

Cecily clenched her fists when she heard his words. But just as she was about to respond, the system's voice rang in her mind.

"Your target, Shannon Jensen, has been gravely injured by malevolent energy invading her body."

Cecily's eyes lit up with excitement. Her anger dissipated as she thought about the fate that awaited Shannon.

Her tone turned light as she asked, "Where's Shannon? I'm here for her."

Scott immediately became wary when he heard Cecily casually mention Shannon's name. This was far from how she had pretended to affectionately call the latter her sister.

"Why are you looking for her?"

Cecily flashed a smile at him as she casually took off her sunglasses. "You don't know? She's about to die, and I'm here to see her one last time."

"How…"

Cecily wanted to ask how she was still fine, but Shannon didn't give her the chance. She wanted no time raising her hand and began chanting a spell.

"O' heaven and earth, come in control; spirits and all, and none shall flee…"

The moment the system within Cecily heard the incantation, a sense of dread surged through it. It urged Cecily to escape, but Shannon was nearing the end of her chant.

Then, Shannon raised her hand and barked, "Bind!"

Following her last command, a golden light flared beneath Cecily's feet. The light formed a talisman that quickly transformed into a chain of sigils to bind her legs and lock her entire body in place.
