Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 67

Scott glanced at Cecily and asked, "Cecily, are you heading out?"

"Yeah. I'm going to meet an online friend today."

When he heard the mention of an online friend, he instantly thought of what Shannon just said. He felt that it was such a strange coincidence.

Why would Cecily be meeting an online friend right after Shannon had forbidden him from doing so?

Although he didn't believe what Shannon said, he had a bad feeling. Instinctively, he said. "There are a lot of scammers online. You really shouldn't meet an online friend all by yourself."

Cecily laughed when she heard that. "You're quite cautious, Scott. But don't worry. My online friend is a trustworthy person. You also know her. It's Summer from the game."

Scott was taken aback. He remembered who Summer was. She was a young girl with a cute voice. She seemed to be about his age.

Since he enjoyed gaming, Cecily would go online and play games with him sometimes. When they teamed up, they got to know Summer together.

"Why did you suddenly want to meet her?"

"I'm free during the holidays now, so we decided to meet up." As Cecily spoke, she suddenly thought of something. "You should come along!"

Scott was confused. "Huh?"

Cecily's smile was gentle and pretty. "Didn't you say I shouldn't meet her alone? If you come with me, I won't be alone anymore. You happened to know Summer, too."

Frowning, Scott wanted to turn her down. But out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Shannon, who had reached downstairs. When she heard their conversation, she even shot him a look.

It felt like a reminder and a warning.

For some reason, Scott was riled up. As if he didn't want to lose, he changed his mind. He said, "Sure. I'll go with you, then!"

"Hurry and go get changed. I'll wait for you."

"Okay… Sure."

When he saw that Shannon had left, he couldn't help but say to Cecily, "Cecily, why don't you cancel the meetup? Let's meet her another time."

Cecily looked confused. "We've agreed to meet up already. How can I break my promise? Besides, didn't you say it was dangerous for me to meet an online friend alone?"

Cecily sounded like she was chiding him. She then grabbed his arm. "Alright. Just think of this as hanging out with me. You've been staying at home every day. You're probably so bored."

Scott was helpless. He could only allow her to drag him out of the house.

When he changed into his shoes, he thought they felt different. But it only lasted for a moment. He quickly dismissed the thought.

He thought he must have been driven crazy by Shannon's strange words.

How could he believe what she said?

At most, he would just stay away from high places.
