Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 81

One might label her as feeble or powerless, but Daniella ultimately made the gut-wrenching decision to pack up and leave, cutting ties with Hansel and the Quayle family for good.

But no matter where they turned, the Quayles managed to track them down. Each time Hansel appeared, it wasn't long before the Quayle clan came knocking, bringing their brand of menace to their doorstep.

Daniella had no choice but to keep moving, dragging Rachelle along in their desperate escape.

…

"To give Rachelle a chance at a normal life, I even went as far as to tell the world she was dead," Daniella confessed, her gaze empty as she stared at Shannon.

"These days, the Internet has all but forgotten about Rachelle. I don't want anyone to know she's still breathing and risk inviting trouble again…

"I don't know how you found out Rachelle is alive, but if your idea of helping involves the Internet, we don't need it. We really don't…"

The trials of life and the bleakness of tomorrow had wrung her dry of tears, yet the pain and regret in her voice spoke volumes.

In a rare gesture, Shannon reached out, clasping Daniella's hand in hers.

"Don't worry. When I say help, I mean restoring her sanity," Shannon reassured her.

Daniella shook her head. "It's no use. So many hospitals have written it off as incurable. I've made peace with that."

To her, it felt like Rachelle had been struck with early-onset Alzheimer's. She'd resigned herself to the lifelong role of caregiver.

Observing Daniella's doubt, Shannon opted for silence instead of debate. With a nonchalant flick, she tossed a talisman into the air.

Daniella's eyes widened in awe as the talisman defied gravity and floated effortlessly above Rachelle's head.
