Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 840

Rachel was fearful and resentful toward Shannon. She resented her for not receiving any consequences despite causing her demise, yet at the same time, feared she would exterminate her.

It wasn't until she became a ghost that she fully experienced the fearsome mystic arts practitioner energy that Shannon exuded.

What was worse was that Shannon wasn't alone. There was an even more bone-chilling presence in the car from where she descended. Just standing a distance away from that presence made her soul feel destabilized.

"Shannon…" Rachel uttered through gritted teeth as she watched the car drift away. Subsequently, she went after the ambulance.

Just because she couldn't cling to Shannon didn't mean Connor would be free from her… Right?

…

At City Hospital, Connor's injuries were far from serious; compared to Diego's concussion, his were mere scratches and bruises. His biggest loss out of this accident was that his last remaining car was destroyed.

That was his third car to end up in a collision in the past two months. He had even lost all the fixed assets belonging to his family.

Connor sat on the hospital bed in the emergency room, scratching his head in frustration. He had lost far too many things lately—Francis and Sheila's imprisonment, Rachel's death, the company's bankruptcy—turning him into a mere average citizen.

He knew this wasn't the end, though.

Lately, he had been feeling a weight on his shoulders and would occasionally dream of Rachel. In his dream, she was a kid and always bugged him to sit on his shoulders. Every time he woke up, his shoulders would feel sore.

The misfortune he experienced all these days made him feel reminiscent of the time he was haunted by Genevieve. Therefore, he suspected he had been haunted again.

That was also the reason why he yelled at the paramedic to get Shannon to send him to the hospital. He believed he could solve his problem if she were willing to help him.
