Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 872

Dixie jolted to her feet. Her eyes were filled with disappointment as she looked at Hugo and Carly.

"Luther got into trouble for me, so how could I leave him to suffer alone? I promised to face everything with him!"

Her determined words left the Hanes speechless, and Hugo was utterly bewildered by her reaction. What had Dixie just said? Had she lost her mind?

"Dixie, have you lost your mind?" her brother, Camryn Hane, snapped in a harsh voice.

"Do you know how many calls Mom and Dad made today just to plead with the Jensens to go easy on you? And here you are, talking nonsense!"

Carly was equally shocked. It took some time for her to understand what was happening. "Dixie, do you realize your colleague has a family? A wife and a child?"

Dixie replied firmly, "I do, but that doesn't matter. He's facing charges because of me, and I can't just leave him here."

"You must be nuts! You couldn't get close to the Jensens, and now you're interested in a worthless man! What are you thinking?" Camryn shouted in exasperation.

Feeling wronged, Dixie burst into tears. "What right do you have to say that? Is there anything wrong with falling in love with the wrong man? Must I choose my significant other according to what you've had in mind for me?

"How is he deemed unworthy just because of his family background? Am I not allowed to pursue my happiness?"

She turned her gaze to Camryn. "You tried to win Ms. Franklin over just for her family wealth, but you've never loved her, and you even gave her gemstone ring to your lover. That's why you got beaten up. A loveless marriage won't end well."

Stung by her words, Camryn stormed out angrily. Though Hugo and Carly were deeply disappointed, they simply couldn't abandon Dixie and tried persuading her again.

City lights shone brightly amidst the night. Shannon and the crew had just escorted a lost dog back to its owner and checked the time.

They were preparing to end the livestream when the livestream chat erupted with a flurry of comments.

As Shannon looked at Carlos' tablet and read what the comments were about, she frowned.

Apparently, someone in the chat had brought up developments in Caleb's case. It seemed Caleb was not just pressing charges against Dixie and Luther but was also demanding a two-million-dollar compensation.

If Caleb won the lawsuit, Luther would face both prison time and a crushing debt. Some viewers felt that Caleb's actions were too harsh.

The livestream audience had initially not cared about Caleb, but the discussion around him grew more intense after Dixie had mentioned him as Shannon's brother.
