Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 703

Once the body takeover was complete, it'd be too late for Shannon to stop anything, even if she found out.

Cecily understood what the system was implying, but she couldn't wait that long. "One body takeover takes seven days, and three targets would take 21 days.

"Plus, using their fortune to lower the Jensens' fortune would take even more time. I can't wait that long."

To Cecily, she was orchestrating a big plan. The longer it stretched out, the more opportunities for unforeseen complications to arise.

If Hank didn't need a new doll, she would've wanted to conduct all three body takeovers today.

As she was fighting the system, the system's broadcast rang in her mind. "Mrs. Jensen Senior's affection level has decreased by 3 points."

Cecily was momentarily stunned before she fumed. What was that old lady up to now? Why did her affection level drop for no reason? That was just baffling, like Hank.

"I knew it. My decision was right." Affection levels should never be trusted.

"System, you see? This is why dragging things out is risky. Hearts are fickle and easily swayed."

To Cecily, the system was just an intelligent machine, no matter how advanced it was. It couldn't understand the complexities of human emotions, and it was up to her to handle everything.

With that in mind, she composed herself and called Marie.

The call was soon picked up like always, and Cecily pretended to know nothing about the decrease in affection level. She greeted Marie warmly and expressed how much she missed the latter.

"Grandma, I miss you," she said with a hint of longing and grievance in her voice. In the past, Marie would've worriedly asked what was wrong.

Indeed, Marie asked, "What's the matter? Did anything happen with the Snowdens?" There wasn't much concern or urgency in her voice.
