Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 827

"Alright. I got it."

As a cousin who grew up with Caleb, Hank couldn't suppress his curiosity, asking, "You put so much effort into dressing her up and bringing her here, only to get all nonchalant when she leaves in advance?"

At his question, Caleb looked somewhat conflicted and murmured, "It's normal that she left early since she couldn't fit in. Besides, she's been feeling unwell tonight."

What he left unsaid was he found Ziva rather strange, mainly because she persuaded him to apologize to Shannon.

Back when he used to target Shannon to defend Cecily, the latter had also pretentiously persuaded him to get on good terms with Shannon and apologize to her.

Despite his feelings for Cecily and compliance to take her words to heart, he had never intended to properly make good with Shannon.

Before uncovering Cecily's true colors, Caleb wholeheartedly believed he was genuine toward her. Yet, with one sentence from Ziva, he obediently apologized to Shannon—something Cecily failed to do.

Frankly, he was baffled by his own actions. For some reason, it sounded more reasonable and convincing when Ziva said it.

After his unique experience of being trapped inside a doll, he believed he had cultivated a higher sense of vigilance and sensitivity than ordinary people. At least when he encountered an unorthodox situation, he would relate it to mystic or dark arts.

In fact, his original plan was to inquire about Shannon's opinion on it. However, with her temper, he assumed she would react as indifferently as before when she found out about Cecily's plan, awaiting to see his downfall.

At that thought, he gave up on his plan and asked for Hank's opinion instead. "Hank, what do you think of… Ziva?"
