Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 865

It didn't matter if Shannon and Skylar didn't care much for competition since their fans had sparked a fierce rivalry in the livestream chat.

Shannon paid no attention to all the bickering. Upon returning to the police station, she learned that officers were urgently interrogating the suspects, including Ruby.

Having witnessed Shannon and Skylar's abilities, the officers now took their statements seriously. If these individuals were carrying deaths, they had to expose their truth and do justice to the dead.

The traffickers had been caught red-handed, so they had no grounds to deny their crimes. But Ruby stubbornly refused to cooperate since the police had no evidence against her.

If they questioned her too closely, she'd clutch her chest as if in pain and even fake an impending collapse at one point.

Though the officers knew she was putting on an act, they lacked concrete evidence and had no choice but to escort her to the hospital for a checkup.

Just as they reached the entrance, a man hurriedly entered the station. He rushed over when he saw Ruby and shouted, "Mom!"

Ruby, who had been clutching her chest and feigning weakness just moments ago, perked up at the sight of her son. She clutched her chest and wailed. "Brennan, thank heavens you're here. If you hadn't come, I would've been wrongly accused by this vicious woman!"

Just as she was about to start her feeble act again, Brennan Hooper cut her off coldly with anger in his voice. "Mom! Did you have anything to do with Macie's death? Was it you who arranged for those traffickers to take Paisy?"

Ruby froze before she started lashing out. "I'm your mother! How could you trust her over me? If I'd known marrying her would turn you against me, I'd never have let her into the family! That jinx…"

"Mom!" Brennan interrupted her once more. He glared at her with reddened eyes. "Just tell me the truth!"

"No! They're my granddaughters, so why would I harm them? And how could an old woman like her possibly conspire with traffickers!" Ruby shouted.
