Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 220

Shannon's words destroyed the cultured and refined appearance that Sheila had been trying to maintain before the cast and crew. She hurried forward to stand between Rachel and Shannon. "Haven't you done enough to hurt Rachel, you ingrate?

"Why won't you let her off the hook when she's already like this? Is your heart made of stone? Think about all the evil things you've done at your age—aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Shannon didn't even bat an eye at Sheila's insults, seemingly used to it. She even said calmly, "You can curse me and wish retribution on me all you want, but it doesn't mean anything. All I can say is the Gray family is definitely already suffering from whatever bad karma it's gathered in the past."

With that, she turned to Percy and said, "The Gray family is much too hostile and aggressive to me, Percy. I doubt I can help them, either. Maybe Eddie can lend them a hand."

After that, she stepped aside without hesitation, looking like she was serious about not doing anything to help.

Connor's expression changed at her attitude. He tugged Sheila back and said in a low voice, "Mom, think about what you promised me!"

Sheila snapped to her senses at his words but stubbornly said, "Didn't you see how she threatened Rachel earlier? Are you going to make Rachel suffer because of your matters?"

Connor's heart clenched at her words. He hadn't thought much of it with Shannon around in the past, but after everything that had happened, he could now clearly see how much more partial Sheila was to Rachel. She didn't even care about his life or death.

It genuinely disappointed Connor. It was as if nothing but Rachel mattered to Sheila. He couldn't help mocking himself for this. Still, Francis had exposed him to the business world, and it wasn't too hard for him to keep his expression calm.

He didn't kick up a fuss over Sheila's blatant act of favoritism. Instead, he took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said, "Think about it, Mom. We're not the only ones in trouble here. Rachel's emerald pendant is starting to crack, and bad things keep happening to her now.
