Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1108

After Shannon and the others had breakfast, they received an urgent call from Austin.

Though the call was picked up on Olivia's phone, it was meant for Shannon and Skylar. "Wesley woke up, but something's gone wrong. Ms. Jensen, Mr. Rutherford, you need to come quickly!"

Shannon and Skylar exchanged a glance before leading Olivia back to Mariota's room.

Once they reached the door, they heard a man's angry voice booming from within. "I knew something was wrong! Why else would I feel like I was under a spell and constantly revolve around you?

"Turns out you set me up! And now you're playing the victim! Who are you fooling!"

When the three entered, they saw Wesley furiously pointing at Mariota, who'd collapsed on the carpet. Austin tried to calm him down and hold him back.

Mariota's face was tear-streaked, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. "So, you've never loved me? You've lied to me all along, just like the shadow spirit…"

Wesley exploded further at her words. "Who's lying to who? Tell me! You're the reason I got possessed, and now you dare talk about lies!"

Mariota had yet to recover from the shock of discovering her parents' souls had been fed on. She immediately broke down at Wesley's accusations.

When she saw Shannon enter, she turned to her and asked, "Ms. Jensen, is it true? Did we go on a date because he was influenced by the shadow spirit?"

"You already know the answer," Shannon coldly replied and made no attempt to console her.

The shadow spirit's actions were driven by Mariota's parents' consciousness. Getting Wesley to date Mariota was to fulfill her deepest wishes.

Mariota had suspected as much but refused to accept that no one had ever truly loved her. Now that she'd lost Wesley as her backing, what was she supposed to do? Would she have to return to her previous life of hardship?

Wesley ignored Mariota and turned his attention to Shannon. His eyes lit up when she entered, and he quickly adopted a polite and almost gentlemanly demeanor.
