Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 968

In the outskirts of Seastone City, Luther returned to his rented apartment after parting with Dixie. He felt slightly uneasy.

He glanced at his finger, where a band-aid covered the spot he'd pricked to offer his blood. The situation felt absurd, yet he believed it.

Still, he felt no regret. There was nothing he could lose with a few drops of blood and some strands of hair. But if it succeeded…

His eyes gleamed with ambition at the thought of the possibility.

As he reached his apartment and took out his keys, the door swung open from the inside.

Quilla glared at Luther, and her eyes were red-rimmed. There was a hint of reproach in her voice. "Where have you been again? You were just released; can't you stop making us worry about you?"

The good mood Luther had felt earlier vanished the moment he saw Quilla. Neither her appearance nor her circumstances could compare to Dixie.

Looking at the cramped apartment, he couldn't ignore the stifling air of suffocation no matter how tidy she kept it. On top of that, Macey was lying in the narrow living room.

One glance, and it felt like this was his life laid bare. It was nothing more than a dead end. He found this intolerable after having tasted the possibility of another life.

Luther's face was dark as he snapped, "If I don't find a solution, how am I supposed to pay back the two million? With your measly ten thousand in savings? Or the six thousand you gathered from others?"

"Would they be demanding the two million from you if you hadn't meddled in her business and gotten into a fight? Do you realize what situation our family is in? We can never pay that off!"
