Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1279

"They do. Previously, I even attended their mystic school dinner party."

Mathias was none other than the blind date arranged for Myla at that wrap-up dinner party.

At that time, he mocked Myla and ended up being drenched in wine because of Shannon. Now that he had run into them unexpectedly, he feared they might say something that would ruin Vincent's impression of him.

Thus, he quickly spoke up to explain himself. "I had a little misunderstanding with Myla at that time, and Ms. Jensen even stepped in to help. Right?"

Mathias assumed they were all respectable people and that his words would likely be accepted without question. Since the two ladies were able to ride in Vincent's car and return with him, their relationship had to be quite close.

As long as they didn't expose anything, he could subtly hint at his connection with them and perhaps be included in Vincent's circle in the future.

After all, his current project was running short on funds lately.

It was all perfect in his head, yet to his utter surprise, Myla and Shannon piped up at the same time.

"Why are you calling me by my first name?"

"I've never helped you."

The air became awkwardly silent. Even the agent in the driver's seat tried to clear their throat to ease the tension.

Vincent, being more emotionally intelligent, ignored the ladies' indifference toward Mathias and simply smiled, saying, "I'm actually quite busy today and can't invite you over to my place. Why don't you return for now, and I'll invite your family over next time?"

Despite his polite tone, it rendered Mathias fairly embarrassed. Not daring to continue pressing the issue, he could only awkwardly smile and bid farewell to the group.

It wasn't until Vincent's car drifted into the villa district that Mathias' expression immediately dimmed.

As he returned to his car, he cursed, "Way to act cocky just because you're from the main branch! We're all Turners, so save the attitude! You think you're some hot shit? You're just an actor!

Instead of following Vincent into his place, she headed toward the small villa.

Vincent and the others were confused. Just as they were about to follow, they watched in disbelief as Shannon suddenly cast a zephyr glide talisman and drifted away.

In no time, she returned, this time dragging a young boy out of the villa.

When Vincent made out the young boy's face, he was agitated, exclaiming, "Carmine! Carmine, is that you?"

The young boy, who looked around 12 to 13 years old, was currently under Shannon's control. When he heard Vincent's words, he reluctantly acknowledged him with a grunt.

A hint of sorrow flashed across Vincent's eyes, but he forced himself to stay composed and asked, "You… You've been constantly appearing around me lately. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? If you tell me, I'll do my best to help you fulfill it…"

However, the young boy, who had initially been wearing a somewhat awkward expression, froze for a moment. Then, he turned his gaze to Vincent and roared, "You have unfulfilled wishes! I'm not dead! Why would I have any unfulfilled wishes?"
