Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1997

Although it had all been a misunderstanding, it was that moment that made Mariam give up on taking her own life.

In her heart, she believed Levi didn't want her to die. So, she lived.

She didn't go back to her in-laws. Instead, she stayed in Jamborough, working odd jobs to support herself.

Every year, on the anniversary of the day she was saved, she would quietly leave offerings on that same bridge—just in case Levi's spirit lingered there.

Of course, all of those had been enjoyed by Morton himself.

He had no idea she was talking about Levi. He always thought she meant him—the one who had stopped her from jumping.

Therefore, every year, he enjoyed those tributes with no regrets and a clear conscience.

At that point, Morton felt goosebumps all over his ghostly figure.

If it was true that Mariam had mistaken him as Levi, her life-saver, and made offerings to him over the years, it meant Morton had been hogging Levi's memorial items.

When he realized the truth, he almost broke down right there.

All this time, he had been receiving tributes Levi gave to the lost souls and, later, the ones left by Mariam. And he had done it without a second thought…

No wonder Levi looked so lonely and heartbroken after so many years! He must've believed he had been forgotten by his family!

Morton felt like crying at that point.
