Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 131

When Shannon heard that, she looked at the police chief. "I'm glad to hear you say that. After all, those two were acting on someone's orders. There may be revenge in the future."

When Adam heard that the mastermind was still bold enough to exact revenge, his expression darkened.

"What exactly is going on?"

Just then, a policeman nearby came over with the case files in hand. The police chief immediately gestured for the policeman to explain.

The policeman briefly recounted the whole incident right away.

In a nutshell, Rachelle had sued the son of the Quayles, so the Quayles hired hooligans to threaten Rachelle to drop the lawsuit. Unexpectedly, Shannon happened to encounter them, so that was how she got involved.

When the police chief realized that it was the viral underage bullying incident, his expression immediately turned foul as well.

After all, the victim, Rachelle, was right in his jurisdiction. After the incident escalated, the police chief told the police officers on patrol to keep an eye on the family. Unexpectedly, the family was still bold enough to hire someone to harass Rachelle.

"The Quayles?"

Unlike what the police chief was concerned about, Adam was more bothered by the fact that the Quayles had caused his daughter to be indirectly threatened.

Hector knew more about the incident between the Quayles and Rachelle. After all, Scott and Shannon had asked the legal team for help through him.

The two were willing to put in effort to help people around them, so Hector wouldn't stop them.

Hector thought that with intimidation from the Jensens' legal team, the Quayles would be a little wary, but unexpectedly, they threw caution to the wind. They even bribed hooligans to cause intentional harm.

Now, the Jensens couldn't be faulted for bullying those weaker than them.

Since the Quayles could invest effort in harassing a young woman, they must have quite a lot of free time on their hands.

If that was the case, then they should be put to work.

The Quayles probably didn't expect that the hooligans they hired had failed to threaten Rachelle, and they had even provoked someone they should never mess with.

…

Setting aside how Adam tortured the Quayles later on, as soon as Shannon met up with Rachelle, she brought the latter home.

After all, Shannon came over today so that the infant spirit could see Rachelle one last time.

Normal infant spirits would already have taken shape at least.

But this one was just the size of a palm. Coupled with its obsession with its mother, it might retaliate if Shannon forced it into the realm of eternal life.

Even though Rachelle had mixed feelings about the child, she still didn't want it to be excluded from the realm of eternal life.

"W-What do we do, then?"

"If you don't mind, you can keep it around you like how people keep malevolent spirits. You just have to give it enough offerings and guidance. With it by your side, it may bless your future."

When Rachelle heard Shannon's words, she was stunned.

The infant spirit seemed to have understood what Shannon said. It happily spun in a circle before cuddling with Rachelle in elation.

Noticing Rachelle's silence, Shannon pursed her lips before saying, "There's another way. We can forcefully cut off the blood connection between you and the spirit. Once it lets go of its obsession with you, it can enter the realm of eternal life."

As always, there were two options.

It was up to Rachelle to make a choice.
