Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 122

Connor truly couldn't quite stand it.

In the past, he had only suffered some mental torture in his dreams, but this time, he had indeed made "close contact" with the person.

Every time Connor recalled the cold and hard sensation covering his mouth, he felt his hair standing on end. That feeling lingered for a long time.

At that thought, Connor made up his mind in the end.

…

In the VIP ward in the hospital, Rachel was staring at Connor in disbelief.

"Connor, did you just say that you want to take the emerald pendant away?"

At that moment, Connor had a weary look on his relatively handsome face. But when he met Rachel's wounded gaze, he tried his best to sound gentle.

"Rachel, we're facing some troubles at home, so I'll only be taking the emerald pendant with me for now. When everything settles down, I'll give it back to you."

Rachel frowned. Before she could say anything, Sheila had already spoken up.

"Connor, I'm sure you're aware of how unlucky Rachel is right now. She's depending on the emerald pendant to ward off the bad luck. If you take the pendant away right now, you'll be taking her life too!"

Connor replied, "Mom, of course, I care about Rachel, but I really am in a pinch right now. You know that!"

But Sheila couldn't understand that.

"You said that you've already hired a geomancy master to exorcize the house, right? If he can't do it, just hire another one. You'll eventually get someone with real talent. But with her current condition, Rachel really can't take another surprise. Connor, just be nice to your sister."

Listening to Sheila's words, Rachel looked pitifully at Connor as well.

"Connor, don't you love me anymore?"

Connor felt a little annoyed. If it were anything else, he would've just surrendered.

After all, he had also loved and pampered Rachel since young.

But this time, his life was at stake!

When Rachel heard what Sheila said, she spoke up in objection.

"Mom! After what Shannon did to me, the netizens are still cursing me left and right. How could you possibly think of asking her for help? Did you forget that you've promised to help me sue her?"

Connor was thinking that if push came to shove, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and talk to Shannon. But then, when he heard Rachel's words, he instantly frowned.

"You're still trying to sue her? Rachel, don't you know what it's like at home right now? We may even need her help to solve our problems again. If you sue her right now, you're forcing her to completely oppose us!"

Connor sounded a little harsh, and Sheila immediately had a problem with that.

"Can't you talk nicely? Why are you shouting at your sister? It's not like she wants to do this. It's that wench's fault for hurting her without showing any mercy in the first place!"

Connor scoffed.

"She was merciless because our family had plotted to switch her astrological house in the first place. If we had willingly provided for her back then instead of plotting against her, I believe that with her current abilities, she can surely help Rachel and our family."

When Sheila heard those words, a look of disbelief appeared on her face.
