Divorce Failed My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 406

By 'unnatural,' Murray obviously meant ghosts.

Sylvia, still holding her compass, happened to walk past and answered the question before Maeve could.

"It's just the lingering energy of a few dead stray animals. Nothing severe enough to spawn an evil spirit."

Maeve stepped in her path, her eyes locked onto the compass in Sylvia's hands with genuine admiration.

"An authentic piece from the Han Dynasty. Truly a top-tier artifact."

"Make sure you handle it with care while you're using it; don't ruin its natural energy."

"If you damage it, it'll lose all its value for my collection."

Sylvia's jaw clenched so hard her teeth ground together.

She pulled the compass tightly to her chest. "Don't count your chickens before they hatch. We still don't know who's walking away the winner."

Shooting Maeve a venomous glare, Sylvia stormed off.

Maeve crossed her arms and called out cheerfully to her retreating back.

"You've got less than two hours left with it! Enjoy it while you can!"

All she got in return was Sylvia's cold, rigid back.

"What's so special about that compass?" Andres asked.

"I collect compasses from every historical era. The only one missing from my collection is a Han Dynasty piece," Maeve explained.

Quinn leaned in eagerly. "I've got a few from the Han Dynasty lying around. Take your pick, whichever one you want."

Maeve gave him a side-eye. "I don't want your hand-me-downs."

"Ouch. After everything we've been through, that hurts," Quinn said, feigning heartbreak.

Andres cleared his throat loudly, a clear warning to Quinn to back off. He was Maeve's actual boyfriend here.

Quinn sighed in exasperation.

"Mr. Andres, don't be so territorial. I'm not your competition."

"To me, Maeve is basically my little sister."
