Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 160

Hearing Hank's words, Cecily felt much better.

However, she still pretended to defend Shannon.

"Since it's a state-certified religious academy, it must be different from regular schools. Besides, Shannon does have real skills. Remember the incident with Mr. Shaw's family…"

She then stopped talking, piquing the curiosity of those nearby. Of course, they pressed her to continue.

Cecily recounted the story of how Shannon cured Donald's daughter.

Everyone was astonished. "So she really has some skills? No wonder the School of Mystic Arts selected her."

Before Cecily could respond, Hank scoffed, "Rumors had it said that Shannon cured her, but nobody knows if it's true."

Someone who knew the inside story chimed in, "My mom visited the Shaws recently. She said Emily is still the same. It doesn't seem like she's cured."

"There's nothing we can do. If she says Emily's cured, you can't argue with her."

Clearly, they were referring to Shannon.

Cecily and the others weren't standing that far away from Shannon. With her keen hearing, Shannon caught their snide remarks.

But she chose to ignore them. After all, only the Shaws knew the true state of Emily's health.

Speaking of the devil, the Shaws soon approached Shannon while carrying gifts. This time, they brought Emily along.

Ever since Emily had fallen from a horse and sustained a head injury, the Shaw couple rarely brought her to social events.

It had been quite some time since people saw her in public.

Everyone immediately thought of the rumors about Shannon curing Emily's condition. Naturally, all eyes turned to them.
