Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 948

Cecily remained in a daze due to Alaric's words after learning that she'd lost half her lifespan and had no fortune left. Though she knew things had changed since losing the system, she hadn't expected the reality to hit her so harshly.

How could this have happened?

Before she could plead for his help, his last words stunned her in place. "W-What are you on about? Why should I give her my voice… Never!"

To her dismay, Ziva and Alaric seemed unbothered by her lack of consent. After glancing at Cecily, Ziva unhesitatingly stated, "Sure. I'll trade with her."

No matter how she looked at it, Cecily was nothing more than a waste of space. Since Ziva no longer needed the system, the former naturally held no value to her.

Cecily stared in disbelief at Ziva. When faced with their emotionless gazes, she finally realized how dire her situation was. Shaking her head, she uttered with a trembling voice, "No, you can't do this to me…"

While speaking, she glanced at the door and suddenly dashed toward it. These two were monsters! She had to escape from their claws no matter what!

Witnessing her movement, Alaric stayed calm and merely glanced at her. Right when Cecily was about to reach the door, it suddenly shut sealed on its own.

Horrified, she extended her hand to yank the door handle. As soon as she touched it, her entire body was engulfed with a cloud of black smoke. With barely a chance to scream for help, she vanished into the darkness the next second.

Even seconds before losing consciousness, Cecily couldn't understand why she had ended up in this situation.

…

Annoyed, Marie rudely replied, "It won't be enough to kill me. Just tell the family doctor to drop by."

Perhaps because her tone was too passive-aggressive to ignore, Shannon finally looked up and cocked her head at her. "If you're feeling unwell because of Cecily's arrest warrant, I don't think I can help you, Mrs. Jensen Senior. Perhaps you should talk to Grandpa."

With that, she wiped her mouth and stood up. "I'm done with my meal."

Watching her retreating figure, Marie only regained her composure after a few seconds. Shannon meant the incident where she told Hector to revoke Cecily's arrest warrant yesterday.

Immediately, Marie shouted at her from behind.
