Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1231

When recalling how Mathias knew this was an event organized by the Jensen family, Myla realized the truth. "You're here for Hector?"

Mathias froze, not expecting her to see through his motive so effortlessly. Still, he solemnly said, "You're overreacting. We're all friends from the business world, and it's only natural that we exchange a few words."

Indeed, he came to the dinner party tonight because he heard Hector would be present. He had no interest in some mystic arts party and simply wanted to befriend the future heir of the Jensen family.

As a descendant of the Turners' cadet branch, he knew it wasn't enough to prove himself before the main branch. If he could befriend the Jensens, however, the main branch would definitely regard him highly.

Besides, Mathias had planned everything out.

Though the Lawsons weren't an aristocratic family, their foundation was way stronger than his small, struggling startup. In fact, he had accepted the fact that he could never reach a woman from the wealthiest families in Jamborough.

Therefore, the Lawsons seemed like a good middle-ground. The only downside was their daughter dabbled in mystic arts.

Myla was exasperated when she confirmed he was solely here for Hector. Disregarding that he was a candidate chosen by her parents, she pulled a long face, stating, "I'm sorry. I don't think this is an appropriate time and place for you to do that.

"I won't be leading you upstairs, so please make your way home, Mr. Turner. There won't be a second meeting between us either, as we're simply incompatible."

She turned around, ready to leave, but Mathias seized her hand. With a frown, he sharply questioned, "What does that mean? Are you turning me down?"

Sure, he came here with ulterior motives and wasn't that interested in Myla, but how could she feel the same toward him? She was nothing more than a crook; what made her think he was out of her league?

"Word of advice—don't get too cocky. Otherwise, you'll have a hard time finding a husband and end up settling down for a ghost marriage instead…"

Mathias' harmful statement left Myla so angry that her face turned red. At that point, she no longer cared about the occasion or the setting.

"You son of a bitch. I'm going to chain your soul and fling it around like a kite!" she cursed silently.

Enraged, she prepared to perform a soul departure spell on the spot but suddenly heard hurried footsteps approaching from behind before she could make a move.

Before she even turned around, Shannon swiftly grabbed a nearby wine glass and, without a word, splashed it straight at Mathias' face.
