Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 489

Without waiting for Shannon's answer, someone wrote in the livestream chat, "Stop guessing! A party involved has published a statement admitting it!"

As soon as they saw that, the Internet users and the production crew quickly searched for the post. Then, they found a long Twitter post published not long ago.

The original poster was Estelle Oakley, a young lady who lived in the same apartment building as Wallace.

"About a month ago, I found a note attached to a parachute in the garden downstairs. In the note, the writer claimed her name was Winona Biles and that she had been held captive by a man who labeled himself as her husband. She asked whoever saw the note to report it to the police, with her address written clearly on the paper.

"It didn't seem like a prank to me. Thus, out of caution, I helped contact the police. The police did visit that unit but quickly concluded that the couple was legally married and that the woman was mentally ill.

"They determined that she was locked up by her husband due to her condition, not held hostage as she had claimed. Since they were husband and wife, and the woman seemed unstable when they questioned her, the police eventually gave them a verbal warning and left.

"I thought it was a misunderstanding until I ran into that couple in the elevator one day. During that encounter, the woman was already disabled.

"I remember clearly that she deliberately removed the blanket from her body so her husband would bend and pick it up. During that brief moment, she looked up at me with the most desperate and pleading look, mouthing, 'Please save me.'"

Estelle didn't react at that time. The more she contemplated the incident, the more uncomfortable she felt. As such, she discreetly observed that unit for a few days and concluded something was amiss.

Since the previous attempt to call the police had proven futile, she was at a loss for how to help Winona. After all, many domestic abuse cases were dismissed as mere internal conflicts, especially for married couples.

Since police intervention was ineffective, pursuing a divorce through legal means was even more challenging. By the time the court issued a verdict, it might've been too late for the victim.
