Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2080

"On the very first day I returned to this place, you decided to make an example of me for your precious sister. You deliberately had my meals swapped, sending me food that was spoiled and foul-smelling.

"I ate that for a fortnight."

Shannon's voice was cold and heavy, her eyes locked onto Fenric's with a gaze so chilling and unforgiving. "I endured that without a word, yet you could barely handle a single meal without complaining."

Elysia's initial reaction was one of fury when he heard Shannon's blunt admission. However, as her words sank in, Elysia's expression shifted to disbelief.

"A fortnight?"

Wasn't it just one meal?

Shannon's gaze grew colder as she watched Elysia's reaction, the frost in her eyes deepening.

"It seems even you are well aware of what happened. You knew, yet you allowed your son to torment your own flesh and blood.

"The Ignis family truly lives up to its reputation for propriety, setting an example for the entire capital when it comes to decorum and morals."

Shannon rarely spoke with sarcasm, but when pushed, it was difficult to hold back.

Serelith, watching from the side, was equally stunned by Elysia's reaction. She had naturally told Shannon what she knew, but what she hadn't learned was how her mother was in it.

Elysia knew, yet she allowed Fenric to do that to herself… What a great mother, huh?

Elysia couldn't see Serelith's gaze, but she could see the unmistakable coldness and mocking disdain in Shannon's eyes.

Unable to contain herself, she quickly spoke up to explain, "I didn't know! I thought it was just one meal. I had no idea he had sent spoiled food for a fortnight. If I'd known, I would've—"

In fact, Elysia was telling the truth.

When the servants first told her of Fenric's actions, she dismissed it as just a child's petty outburst. She assumed it was merely a way for him to vent his frustrations, so she hadn't intervened.

She had even instructed them not to report trivial matters to her, as long as his actions weren't excessive.

Therefore, whether from Serelith or the servants, there was no mention of anything untoward since then. So, she thought nothing more of it.
