Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 99

He was tall, so his long legs looked cramped as he sat on the small stool. Although he had been dumbfounded by the shabby surroundings upon entering, he didn't show disdain. This made Shannon see him in a new light, and she thought that he wasn't that hopeless after all.

Daniella could tell from a glance that Scott was no ordinary person. His attire exuded luxury and looked expensive.

Feeling somewhat uneasy, she stood in place and asked worriedly, "Did you come today because there's something wrong with Rachelle?"

"She's fine. I came because I have something to give her," Shannon replied. She asked Scott to wait outside and went into the room to talk to Rachelle.

Rachelle had been bedridden for over a year. Although she was fine now, her body still needed time to recuperate. She watched as Shannon took out a familiar small paper lantern from her backpack as she lay in bed.

As she looked at the paper lantern rise in Shannon's hand, she became anxious. She thought this had something to do with her child. But then, a familiar voice came from the small paper lantern.

"Rachelle, I… I'm sorry. I… I was wrong to do that to you…"

Rachelle shuddered, and her hands balled into fists as she clutched the bed covers tightly.

Daniella was initially unaware of whose voice it was. But as she listened on, she became enraged. Her eyes reddened with fury as she exclaimed, "Is this the person who caused Rachelle's suffering? She ruined my daughter's life! Does she expect us to forgive her with just one meaningless apology?"

Rachelle's face blanched, and she bit her lip. She was clearly unwilling to accept the apology too. Given Rachel's nature, she didn't believe the apology was sincere in any way.

Seeing this, Shannon explained Rachel's situation and how she mistakenly thought Rachelle's ghost was the one seeking revenge.

She further clarified by saying, "I made her record this so that you could get the apology she owed you. With this recording, you can clear your name and reveal the truth from a year ago."

Upon hearing about what happened on the Internet, Rachelle's already blanched face turned a shade lighter. She remembered the overwhelming insults and doubts from a year ago. She had turned away from those unpleasant remarks with great difficulty.

If she posted Rachel's recording online, she might clear her name and gain people's understanding. But the event from a year ago would resurface, and it would potentially garner discussion. New doubts and criticisms might arise.
