Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 678

Marie couldn't understand why Hector wanted to speak privately with her out of the blue. Though disappointed at his recent actions, she couldn't help but concede at the sight of his gentleness.

She was ready to say yes when Cecily gripped her hand.

This time, Cecily panicked as she couldn't anticipate what Hector would do next. Given his track record, it was only reasonable for her to be concerned.

Her world would pivot in a different direction if she actually got exiled from the Jensen residence this time, never mind maintaining her old identity.

She was terrified at that moment, praying Marie would stay.

"Grandma… You know what? Go ahead and talk with Hector; I'll be fine. Even if I'm out of the Jensen residence, I will never stop caring for you. I'll still visit you from time to time…"

Cecily's eyes reddened with tears as she pretended to squeeze a smile, looking thoughtful and mindful.

At the sight of Cecily, Shannon thought, "Yeah, I kinda prefer Olivia's performance more."

However, Marie felt the opposite. She felt like her heart was shattering, making her more determined to keep Cecily. "Don't worry, Cecily. I'm here for you. Nobody can make you leave today!"

Hector didn't argue with Marie and simply wheeled her to the other end of the building to talk. Everyone was dying to know what he wanted to talk about, yet they displayed an utterly calm expression.

After about five minutes, they suddenly heard a loud crashing noise from the other end and felt a chill down their spine.
