Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 986

In one of Seastone's districts, Dixie nestled in Luther's arms, savoring their quiet, private moment together. Lately, she could visibly notice the subtle changes in him.

He was still him, wearing his ordinary clothes and working for a-thousand-dollar monthly salary, yet his temperament became more like those wealthy scions.

Dixie loved the changes he was experiencing. The original Luther was great, but he was even more charming now. Once he replaced Caleb and became one of the Jensens, her parents would definitely regret calling her blinded by desire.

Luther, too, enjoyed the gradual shift in his life. At the office today, a few female colleagues who normally ignored him initiated a lighthearted conversation with him. He could even feel them staring at him.

Whatever Ziva said appeared to be true.

Disdain brewed within him as he looked around his three-bedroom apartment. Sure, it was decent, but it was too small. Then, he glanced at his clothes hanging on the balcony and began to think he deserved more expensive clothes.

After some thought, he told Dixie in his arms, "My supervisor spoke privately with me today and told me to handle the Yardley Plaza's project. I think he's trying to promote me."

She became excited. "Really?"

Soon enough, she settled down. It didn't matter whether he would get a promotion because he would be part of the Jensen family anyway. Still, she said some congratulatory words.

Luther smiled warmly at her, adding, "Tomorrow, come with me to shop for new clothes after work. I'll be handling a new project soon, and I must dress to impress. I trust your judgment better."

He emphasized, "Of course, I'm paying for them."

After a night's sleep, several boils had spread across his face.

Before then, he would look in the mirror daily and find himself more handsome by the day. Strangely, when he saw himself on the camera earlier, it seemed that beneath the boils, he had returned to his true self. Just ordinary and unremarkable like the past.

Immediately, he felt a sense of foreboding.

…

Having been "disfigured", Luther decisively applied for a medical leave at work and went to seek Ziva.
