Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 823

After Shannon made up her mind, her gaze toward Ziva turned cool. Very well.

Ziva met Shannon's gaze and instinctively lowered her head with a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Hadn't she just gotten Caleb to apologize? Why did Shannon not seem happy about it? Why was she staring like that?

While Ziva pondered in confusion, Clara stepped in to ease the tension. She urged everyone to enter the venue and swiftly blocked the camera that had been livestreaming earlier with a sharp warning gaze.

It was rare that Shannon would agree to attend her birthday party, and the last thing Clara wanted was for her to have a bad experience.

Livestreaming was fine, but she wouldn't hesitate to kick anyone out if someone hounded her guests with a camera.

Jason was a good friend of Clara's and knew her temper well. Seeing the warning look in her eyes, he shrugged and smiled at the audience. Then, he waved goodbye and casually ended the livestream.

He wasn't a full-time streamer, so it wasn't his duty to livestream the entire party. He did it to show his luxurious lifestyle so anyone could witness what life was like in the circle of scions.

He enjoyed the admiration and envy he received, and it was all just for fun.

Little did he know that his brief steam including a glimpse of Shannon in her witch costume would soon be posted online.

Shannon's witchy look instantly made it to the trending list of posts, but she had no idea. She was here for Ziva, so she started searching for her after giving Clara a heads-up.

But as she turned, she ran into an unexpected visitor—someone she couldn't recognize. The other party knew who she was and called out, "Shannon!"

From then on, he'd completely lost contact with Cecily. He'd considered demanding answers from the Jensens but knew that no one in their right mind would do that. Though he wanted to help Cecily, he knew better than to invite trouble.

This unexpected encounter gave him the chance to confront Shannon without having to visit the Jensens.

Shannon heard his mention of Cecily and figured he was another misguided follower. She replied flatly, "I don't know you and have no obligation to answer your questions. If you want to find Cecily, try the police."

Then, she was going to walk around him when Diego blocked her again. "You're not going anywhere! Are you guilty? Did you do something to make her disappear?"

Seeing Shannon insisting on leaving, he reached out and intended to grab her arm.
