Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 866

Shannon's words left Ruby speechless. Brennan stared at the latter and was almost dazed with disbelief.

"So, that was the reason… Sure enough, I'm responsible for my daughter's death… I killed Macie, and I almost killed Paisy…"

Murmuring, Brennan collapsed onto the floor. He broke down and started crying as helplessly as a child. Ruby's heart ached at seeing him so devastated.

"This has nothing to do with you! It's all her fault! She should give birth to more children who can carry the Hooper family's lineage, but she's always been obsessed with work.

"Things should be like how it currently is. She should've quit her job early from the start to raise the kids…"

Hearing this, Brennan could no longer hold back his rage. He bellowed, "Edith quit her job because you killed Macie! She was terrified something similar would happen to Paisy!

"It's all your fault! You killed Macie, the little girl who called you her grandma every day!"

Brennan's despair was palpable. The betrayal knowing that his mother had caused the death of his child sent him plunging into endless agony.

Ruby was stunned by Brennan's outburst. She could never believe that Brennan who'd always been kind and gentle would yell at her like that. "You're yelling at me… over a useless girl… I'm your mother! Would I ever harm you?"

Her words left everyone speechless as Brennan continued to struggle with his emotions. Seeing Brennan on the verge of emotional collapse, Ruby softened her tone and feigned innocence.

"Would I be that heartless? Macie's death was an accident, and as for Paisy… I've never thought of harming her. She's now safe and sound, isn't she? Why keep blaming me?"
