After all, everything had to be unique and exclusive in their social circle.
That was why those high-end clubs with million-dollar memberships existed.
In fact, those clubs weren't that special. It was simply because ordinary people couldn't get in.
Furthermore, while most people claimed not to believe in geomancy and mystic arts, many secretly hoped it was real—especially the influential figures present who firmly believed in such things. They would naturally hold those with genuine skills in high regard.
Now, Shannon had become someone they held in high esteem.
George never imagined that one of his grandchildren would one day be admired for such reasons.
People chose to respect her not because she was a member of the Jensens but because of her own abilities.
It was a bittersweet feeling.
The guests had now shifted their attention to Shannon. Cecily, Hank, and even Xavier, who were the main protagonists of the party, were almost forgotten.
Cecily clenched her hands tightly on her lap.
She couldn't understand how an unknown mystic arts school suddenly became so revered. Even the crowd's attitude had changed.
She wondered what was so special about geomancy and mystic arts.
She had secured a direct admission to university through recommendations, and no one showed any envy. Hank and Xavier had been accepted into top universities based on their abilities, yet no one cared.
He was supposed to be the legitimate member of the Jensens who everyone admired. Losing to someone selling talismans felt like a slap in the face.
Besides, she seemed to be mocking those who had aimed for top-tier domestic universities by choosing a mystic arts school.
Hence, even if the mystic arts school turned out to be more reputable than they initially thought, Hank wasn't impressed.
"A school that promotes superstitious nonsense can't compare to our prestigious universities. This current hype is just a gimmick."
The more people praised Shannon now, the harder she would fall later.
Hank was waiting for the day Shannon would come crashing down.
