Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 210

It was only as Doris talked about the horrific wealth-generating stake ritual that everyone realized what a morbid secret the mansion hid. What was the point of having a massive fortune when one was left with no descendants to inherit it?

Calvin didn't know when he'd started buying into it, but he found himself believing the wealth-generating stake ritual to be true. He even lamented the matter.

When he realized he'd fallen into the trap of superstition, he hurriedly pushed all thoughts of the rituals away and snapped to his senses. "So, the child in this coffin was murdered by his own father."

Whatever the murderer's motive, the police's main duty was to capture him and bring him to justice. Superstitions weren't good for anyone, and it looked like Charles could spend the rest of his life reflecting on his mistakes in prison.

Shannon didn't care how the police were going to arrest Charles. She looked at Doris, who was sobbing earnestly and said, "The wealth-generating stake ritual may sound like it generates wealth for the person who performs it, but it's actually a dark arts technique to rid one of their descendants.

"That's why there are only a few people involved in the mystic arts who have heard of the ritual, let alone know how to perform it. The geomancy master who helped the Sullivan family with the ritual must've originally wanted to make the Sullivan family die out."

Doris' eyes widened so much that her eyeballs bulged from their sockets. She stared fixedly at Shannon before suddenly reaching out a withered hand to grab the hem of the latter's dress. Her hand trembled, but she refused to let go. "You can find him, lass… You can find that accursed bastard!

"My grandchildren, my son… they're all gone because of that bastard! I don't want any money—I just want my descendants!" She burst into tears again, looking like she'd aged a decade in a matter of minutes.

Shannon didn't promise her she would track the guy down. Anyone who could use such a malicious technique to make the Sullivan family die out had to harbor a deadly grudge against the Sullivan family or Charles himself.

She wouldn't get involved in karma-related matters—it wasn't necessary, anyway. The fact that she'd had the police dig up the child's corpse meant she'd already disrupted the ritual. He would suffer the consequences now. Even if she didn't go after him, he would pay for the things he'd done.

As she expected, far away in a rented apartment on the other side of Crisea, a middle-aged man sat alone before a computer. On the screen was a notification informing him that he'd been kicked out of a livestream.
