Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 815

Scott had been waiting for the plan Shannon mentioned, so he started feeling anxious when he saw Shannon make no move even after lunch.

Luckily, Shannon didn't keep him waiting much longer.

After the meal, the Jensens gathered in the living room for a chat like always. It was then Shannon addressed Marie in a seemingly casual tone.

"Mrs. Jensen Senior, there's something I've forgotten to tell you."

Everyone perked up at her words. Shannon had gone to great lengths to handle the problems left behind by Cecily, and they all assumed she'd have strong opinions against Marie allowing another Snowden back into the fold.

Though no one pointed it out, they all waited. And now there it was.

The relaxed atmosphere in the room tensed as everyone straightened up a bit. Marie tensed and braced herself to fight back in case Shannon tried to forbid her from associating with the Snowdens.

No matter how talented Shannon could possibly be, she was a kid and should never interfere in the matters of adults… unless she started addressing Marie as "Grandma".

These thoughts went through Marie's mind as she waited for Shannon to speak.

Shannon continued in a steady tone, "According to interrogation results from the Security Agency, Cecily started charming all of you to siphon off your fortunes. For those affected like Caleb…"

She gestured to Caleb sitting nearby and made him an example. "They tend to go through phases of misfortune, financial loss, and injuries. These are signs of depleted fortune."
