Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 818

Shannon was always one to act quickly with a plan, so she intended to ask Hector about Ziva after she returned to her room.

Caleb's sudden interest in a woman he barely knew seemed suspicious, and she was sure Hector would be keeping an eye on it too.

But before she could reach out to Hector, a message from Clara popped up on her phone. They'd kept in touch since she'd warned about her bad love luck.

Clara had sent her an invitation. "It's my birthday today. I heard you're home, so do you want to come to my birthday party tonight?"

Shannon wasn't interested in parties. She was about to decline when she received another text. "Caleb and Hank will be there too. Caleb said he's bringing a plus-one, and you could go with Hank."

Shannon's curiosity was piqued. A plus-one? Could it be Ziva?

She immediately called Clara, who sounded surprised when answering the call. "You're actually calling me?"

Shannon ignored her teasing and got straight to the point. "Do you know who Caleb's bringing?"

"How would I know? I barely know Caleb," Clara replied without hesitation.

Shannon raised an eyebrow. "Why would you invite someone you barely know to your birthday party?"

"I didn't. I invited Hank. We're both from Seastone University, and our families know each other.

"Caleb is a year above us and never paid us much attention, but when he heard it was a costume party, he insisted on coming and wanted to bring a friend. So, why not? The more the merrier I guess."

"No way. I'll pick something for you right now and send it over."

With that, Clara quickly hung up and left Shannon no chance to refuse.

In the end, she didn't manage to wear her robe. Instead, Thomas had arranged for a stylist to transform her into a witch.

She wore a black gown adorned with black feathers, a necklace encrusted with lavish gemstones, and a pointy black hat decorated with crystals and fresh flowers.

But the most striking part of her look was her voluminous, knee-length red curls. They swayed with each step and created a bold yet mysterious look.

The moment she appeared in the witch costume, Scott was stunned. Then, he pulled out his phone to snap some photos.
