Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 769

Children with a childling's fate were known to face a critical juncture at age 18. Most didn't live past that age.

Even if they miraculously survived, their lives would continue to be plagued with hardships until the age of 48 including fortunes in their career and relationships.

From Zane's face, they could tell he had a much better life than most people with a childling's fate. Still, his struggles were palpable compared to ordinary people.

Though Elliot had spoken softly, the Jensens sharply caught his words. All eyes focused on Zane in an instant as if trying to bore holes into him.

Hank started particularly intensely. "You knew that you had a childling's fate all along?" He shot up to his feet and glared at Zane with dark eyes.

Though Eva couldn't understand what they were talking about, she felt scared. She wasn't particularly close to Zane and barely knew him, but from what Shannon had said, it sounded like Zane might die.

Eva's eyes were welling up with tears, but no one paid her any attention. Even the usually calm George had a solemn expression as he turned to Zane.

"Zane, is what he said true?"

Zane met everyone's questioning gazes and nodded emotionlessly. Then, he typed a few words on his phone before a mechanical voice sounded. "I knew."

"Why didn't you say anything then!" Alex couldn't hold back from raising his voice. "Do you know how much worry and effort we went through for you since you were young?"

As Zane met Alex's accusing gaze, he didn't flinch. Instead, he stared steadily back at the latter and typed. "If I did, would you have believed me? Especially you."

Alex was momentarily speechless. He knew that he wouldn't have believed it. If it weren't for Shannon's undeniable abilities, he wouldn't have believed in mystic arts.
