Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 860

The entire room fell silent after Skylar's words.

Ruby, who'd been in the middle of her tirade, went stiff. Panic flickered in her eyes, but she quickly masked it with a shriek. "What are you saying, boy? How could I ever harm my granddaughter?"

She started throwing a fit once more. "My granddaughter's in trouble! Things are tough, and he's still trying to defame me! Good heavens!"

She grabbed the nearest officer and wailed, "You need to arrest this troublemaker! That's slander! I won't let this slide!" Despite her protests, Skylar stood his ground with a steady gaze, staring straight ahead.

Behind him, Edith returned to her senses and looked at Ruby in shock. "Is it true? Did you have something to do with Macie's death?"

Ruby continued launching her tirade. "You believe this nonsense? Are you that dumb?"

Skylar intercepted, "You know best whether I'm talking nonsense. You carry karmic debt tied to someone of close blood..."

While Skylar was halfway through her words, Ruby spat at him angrily.

Silently observing, Olivia quickly stepped in and pulled Skylar back so the spit wouldn't reach him. Skylar's expression darkened noticeably.

By now, the livestream audience was so shocked by the drama that they'd forgotten about leaving comments. Some doubted Skylar's words, but most viewers trusted Skylar after having seen his powers in his previous duel with Shannon.

Ruby continued lashing out at Skylar, but her excessive anger only deepened the suspicions of those around her.

Cole Lambert, an experienced police officer who'd handled countless criminal cases, noticed the subtle fear and guilt in her eyes obscured by her fury.

She turned to Edith and sobbed. "I know you've blamed me all these years for not watching her properly, and you've hated me ever since.

"That's why you've kept Paisy away from me, and now you want to accuse me of something you can't even prove."

"I can prove it," Skylar interjected. He shot Ruby a cold look and turned to Edith. "Give me the astrological houses of your daughter, and I can help confirm the truth about her death."

Edith didn't hesitate to tell him everything she knew. Though she was concerned about Paisy, the memory of her firstborn weighed on her. Even after six years, she remembered Macie Hooper's details vividly.

Skylar began reading Macie's astrological houses. Minutes ticked by in silence, and no one dared to interrupt him.
