Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1232

The wine trickled down Mathias' face. Having been drenched in the red liquid, he went from contemptuous, stunned, to pure anger.

"Who the hell are you?" He didn't bother to lower his volume and quickly attracted others' attention.

Both Myla and Mathias' parents had been observing them, and they quickly dashed over to inquire about the situation. "What's going on?"

The Turners were furious, while the Lawsons quickly pulled Myla away from Shannon. Seeing she wasn't affected, they heaved in relief and turned to the latter. "What are you…"

It was only when they got closer that they saw Shannon's face clearly. Almost immediately, they recognized her. "Wait, are you Shannon Jensen?"

They were viewers of Sixth Sense. The young lady before them was not only immensely gifted but also the heiress of the Jensen family. What impressive credentials.

Naturally, Mathias' parents also acknowledged mystic arts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to the arranged date, having learned about Myla's background.

The anger on their faces diminished greatly, and Mathias' mother, Elaine Padmore, asked, "Ms. Jensen, did my son do something wrong?"

No one would make things awkward on an occasion like this, where every guest was a person of dignity. Elaine genuinely suspected whether Mathias had offended Shannon.

Considering how Elaine didn't blindly defend her son and scold her and that this party was Hector's effort, Shannon had no plan to make things ugly.

She placed the wine glass to the side, her face and voice equally solemn. "He was possessed earlier, and I was trying to exorcise him."

Everyone at the scene was initially taken aback by her words before coming to terms with the "truth". Although they were ordinary people, they still believed in supernatural entities to some extent because their children were involved in that field.

Faced with everyone's disdainful gazes, Mathias quickly swallowed his words of accusing Shannon of being a crook.

His father, Pedro Turner, didn't believe he was possessed. But as soon as Shannon spoke, he immediately froze and backed down, his face filled with gratitude as he said, "Of course, Mathias would never say something like this. He must've been possessed!

"Thank you so much, Ms. Jensen. I'm so glad you stepped in in time."

He knew how offensive Mathias' words were. Rather than admitting his son was impudent, he forced the narrative that his son had been possessed. At least that way, nobody would be humiliated.

While Pedro knowingly backed down, Elaine, on the other hand, was genuinely grateful. "Oh my. How terrifying was that? Thank you so much, Ms. Jensen. If it weren't for you, we would still be in the dark!"

Then, she turned to her wine-drenched son.
