Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1019

From the Jensens' initial reaction to Shannon's practice of mystic arts, it was clear that none of them had been aware.

"Yes. No one in the Jensen family knows this, not even Uncle Adam," Zane typed.

"Why are you suddenly telling me this?" There was a note of skepticism in Shannon's voice.

From hearing about Celeste's death and barely having any memories of her, Shannon had always been curious but never dwelled on Celeste's legacy.

Thalia had read her fate and told her that Celeste had passed away young, and Shannon had never doubted her words. But hearing Zane mention Celeste now stirred a strange unease within her.

If Celeste had recognized Zane's unique nature, mitigated his childling's fate with a substitute childling, and taught him to stay silent to extend his lifespan, she couldn't have just been casually acquainted with mystic arts.

But why could such a skilled practitioner of mystic arts have fallen victim to mere kidnappers and died an untimely death? Why would Shannon have been sent to the Grays and treated as a tool to ward off calamity?

Shannon had assumed that Earl had been the mastermind behind everything. It'd have been a piece of cake for him to deceive ordinary people with his expertise in mystic arts.

But if Celeste had been deeply involved in mystic arts herself, the events of the past might not be as simple as what Adam had told her. Shannon fell deeply lost in thought.

Zane watched her and hesitated briefly before revealing the reason he'd approached her. "Aside from this, there's something else I know about Aunt Celeste that no one in the Jensen family is aware of…

"You might've heard Uncle Adam mention that her name is Celeste Harmon, but I don't think that was her real name."

"I once overheard her murmuring to your newborn self about her family's original last name. It's Wright."

Shannon frowned, and a name popped up in her mind. She was reminded of the sender of the birthday gift Yvette had given her. Again, they had the last name Wright.

She'd assumed that the sender of the gift might have something to do with Thalia, but now it seemed that the sender of the gift was someone from her mother's side of the family.
