Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 624

Aside from Marie, Linda had the highest affection levels for Cecily among the Jensens.

Before marrying Alex, she was a second-tier actress. Through a collaboration, she managed to catch Alex's attention and eventually married into a wealthy family.

She retired from the entertainment industry to focus on being a socialite. To prove that she wasn't just a trophy wife, Linda took on the responsibility of managing the household.

Although her role mostly involved overseeing daily affairs and social connections, she did not have much control over the family's financial matters as the family had a professional butler who meticulously recorded every expense.

But she wasn't motivated by financial gain. She was more concerned about solidifying her status within the Jensen family. Given her humble background, she was aware of the need to prove herself and avoid being looked down upon.

In the beginning, Linda worked hard to demonstrate her ability to manage the household, which included taking care of Cecily, whom Marie highly valued.

Linda gained positive recognition for her efforts, and Marie gradually saw her in a new light.

Eventually, Linda came to view Cecily as a charming pet the family had adopted, given her good behavior.

What really changed Linda's opinion of Cecily and led her to develop genuine affection was an incident involving a jewelry set.

As the second young lady of the Jensens, Linda had long coveted a set of jewels and could afford it. But she'd lost it to a rival lady at an auction.

Cecily had somehow managed to convince the rival to sell the set to Linda. The former had just been 14 back then.

Over time, Linda noticed that Cecily seemed to possess extraordinary luck. She'd always manage to secure limited-edition items through exclusive purchase channels.

At the auction, anyone competing against her on an item would mysteriously drop out for various reasons. Even when Alex had struggled with a creative block, he'd found inspiration after Cecily casually played a tune.
