Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 784

Cody was a freelancer and rarely socialized on ordinary days, let alone go out often. Sometimes, he would have friends send him food to his place.

Troy and Sophia had run into his friends twice in the elevator. Since the conflict, rumors began to spread wild.

"Unit 1803 is an unemployed drifter. He stays at home every day and relies on other men to fend for him. No wonder he has so much time to care about which units around him make noise. What a freak."

Since Cody had left the group chat, the hearsay began spreading like wildfire. Although it was just a residential area, he could start feeling people around him acting strangely toward him.

Once he found out about the malicious rumors from the group chat, he had a mental breakdown. On top of finishing his deadlines on his sketches, he hadn't slept for days. And just like that, he died a sudden death.

"I lived my life minding my own business, while they were the ones harrassing me. Neither the cops nor the neighborhood committee cared. I couldn't do anything to them while I was alive, so what's the big deal if I seek a little revenge now?" Cody sobbed, covering his tear-streaked face.

He cried like a baby despite being a 30-year-old man, but Mike and Elliot felt empathetic for him. They simultaneously turned to Shannon.

She thought, "Why are they looking at me? It's not like I made him cry." Despite that, she softened her tone and said, "Don't cry."

Unaffected, Cody continued weeping.

"You're already dead; stop crying."

He sobbed even harder.

Shannon's patience was stretched thin. "I'll annihilate you if you don't stop."
