Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 715

If Cecily had managed to retrieve the red skull wrapped in the cocoon, she'd have gathered all the necessary cursed objects for the central point of the array, and she'd have been able to weaken the Jensens' fortune.

Then, there was the incident with Kiley. The system had assured that the hidden living soul would never be exposed, yet Shannon had publicly revealed it and exposed the system's existence in the process.

Cecily felt uneasy at the thought of the system. "System, do you think Shannon might have already discovered your existence?"

If Shannon had indeed found out, why hadn't she taken any steps to stop her from attacking Caleb and Marie? Everything had gone so smoothly that Cecily hadn't even thought of suspecting anything.

Cecily started stirring in restlessness as the thought crossed her mind. She texted "Marie" and instructed her to check on the cursed objects previously placed around the house.

"Marie" was now lounging in bed and was leisurely listening to some traditional opera. She felt slightly annoyed at seeing Cecily's "order".

But since they were in this together, she reluctantly got someone to send her on a stroll and check.

"Marie" responded half an hour later, "Everything else's still in place aside from the doll clothes, but the subsystem detected no malevolent energy left in them. It seems something was swapped out."

After reading the text, Cecily could finally confirm that Shannon had been fooling her.

"So, she did notice your existence!" Cecily gritted her teeth.

Shannon had detected something, but she'd allowed Cecily to go after Caleb and Marie without intervening just to avoid arousing the latter's suspicion. How cold-blooded.

It was no wonder Marie disliked her that much. Still, it was a shame that all the cursed objects she'd secretly collected were disposed of.
