Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 94

Clara guffawed heartily at Shannon's words.

However, Scott's expression fell, and he stomped his foot in exasperation. "Come on, Shannon! We're on the same side."

When he saw that Clara was getting up to come toward him, he quickly turned around and ran back the way he came. As he left, he shouted, "Don't forget my anti-malice talisman, Shannon! I'll get it from you later!"

Clara was just messing with Scott, so she didn't go after him. She picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

"Thank you for the talisman. I'll introduce you to more 'business' if it works." Clara said this with a playful wink, showing no disdain for Shannon's mystic art practices and the fees she charged.

Shannon gave her a slight smile and gave her a useful tip. "The love-luck talisman needs to be kept close for it to be effective. It's best placed in something one brings along day in and day out."

For example, a phone case.

Clara immediately understood the hint. She winked at Shannon before turning and striding away in her high heels with a proud and flamboyant gait, like a peacock.

Later, Shannon learned about the backstory of this confident and bold young woman. Clara had originally been the only child of the Leigh family. After her birth mother died unexpectedly, her father remarried within six months.

The new wife brought along a stepsister, who was a year younger than Clara. Ironically, her stepsister was born to her father.

Her father's attitude shifted after her stepmother and stepsister joined the household. He became more and more like a biased stepfather.

Everything Clara once had was gradually taken away.

Most people expected her to grow up timid and pitiful.

However, after spending a year at her maternal grandmother's house in the countryside, she returned and socialized openly with various affluent and influential families. She galvanized public opinion to gain the upper hand within her own family.

From then on, if anyone dared to give her a hard time, Clara would turn the household upside down in retaliation. She wasn't afraid to make a scene or become a public spectacle.

The most infamous incident was when she reported her father for domestic violence at the police station while live-streaming the whole thing online. In the process, she tagged people from various prominent and renowned families to witness the injustice she suffered.

Her father, Stuart Leigh, was utterly humiliated at that time. In the end, he compromised and provided for her well. Besides that, he ensured that her stepmother and stepsister stayed out of her way.
