Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 851

"That wasn't it!" Luther protested. It had just been an accident, and he'd never attempted to kill Caleb.

But Caleb wasn't the slightest interested in hearing nonsense from Luther. As the latter tried to explain, he sneered. "Save that explanation for my lawyer."

Dixie watched Caleb and was relieved that Celab was unharmed. But she was also unsure whether to plead for leniency on Luther's behalf. He'd done it for her after all.

"C-Caleb, are you alright? Let me send you to the hospital," she cautiously offered.

Caleb felt disgusted by her voice. He shot her a look of pure disdain and snapped, "And you! He tried to kill me, and you're his accomplice. Don't think either of you will get away with this!"

Caleb had never thought of himself as a cruel person. Though Dixie had clung to him, he hadn't thought of acting against her.

But now that they'd nearly killed him, he had no intention of letting them off lightly. They would pay for their actions.

Reflecting on the day's events, Caleb sighed. He must have left home on the wrong side of fate since he'd run into two lunatics in one day.

Soon enough, news of Caleb's close encounter with death reached the Jensens. Mark rushed him to the hospital for a full check-up, while Luther and Dixie were taken straight to the police station.

The Jensens' legal team took over from there, and Caleb's only task was to recover.

Scott shot him an "excuse me" look. "You're dreaming, aren't you? She's busy, and all you have are minor injuries. She has better things to do than come and fuss over you."

He'd hold himself back from questioning Caleb if the latter had mistaken the notion of his importance to Shannon.

"Plus… It's not the first time someone's tried to take you out," Scott mumbled.

Caleb was utterly speechless. Couldn't Scott have kept those words to himself?
