Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1305

George seemed furious for once. He snapped, "Shannon is asking a question! Why aren't you explaining yourself!"

The fetus soul was completely different from the pseudocyesis they'd dealt with, and George was clearly anxious.

Alex was on the verge of tears. "I have no idea, Dad! I-I've been at home most of the time… The only exception was last week when I attended a dinner party…"

Hank looked incredulous. "Dad, didn't the doctor tell you to rest at home? Why did you leave the house?"

Alex felt deeply regretful. "I thought the pseudocyesis symptoms were almost gone, so I might as well leave the house and meet some people…"

As a public figure in the entertainment industry, he'd been stuck at home all this time. Rumors circulated that something was wrong with him and that he'd become a recluse after his divorce.

The stress from the pseudocyesis had worn him out. Since he was getting better, he decided to host a dinner party to relax.

Shannon wasn't too concerned about why he'd been away. Instead, she got straight to the point. "Did you meet anyone or do anything unusual at the dinner party?"

"I did not…" Alex tried hard to recall. After a moment, he glanced awkwardly at his children and continued in a lowered voice, "Well, there was a young actress in the same private room. She hinted for my help, but I didn't agree!"

Such requests were common in the entertainment industry. The actress' intentions had been obvious, and despite Alex's flaws, he'd always adhered to his family's strict teachings. He'd never mingled with other actresses or engaged in underhanded deals even after his divorce.

He firmly rejected the actress and asked a male staff member from the club to escort him back to his hotel in a slightly tipsy state.

It was after that night his pseudocyesis symptoms seemed to return. He'd assumed his increasingly bulging belly came from a night of drinking until he felt faint pulses from within. That was when he realized something was wrong.

Shannon didn't pry further into the details and instructed him to find a picture of the actress.
