Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2441

"Even without the weight of karma, not every parent in the world truly loves their child," Shannon said.

"From the moment she chose to be born as Caitlin Callaghan, the bond between her and her parents was already fated to be a thin one."

Her words didn't soothe the audience but stirred the conversation more instead.

Just as they were about to speak out again, she continued, "But even if her parents fail her in this life, that's alright. The old lady is still here, isn't she?"

As she spoke, a faint, sly smile danced in her eyes. "Since the old lady gave up her chance to reincarnate to pass it to her daughter, she now has to return to the end of the line. That could take a decade or more.

"Now, she has plenty of time to watch over her daughter, to stay by her side until she grows up again. So, anyone thinking of mistreating the child or turning their back on her should really think twice…"

Everyone knew what Shannon meant. The consequences would be the very same reason they were all called here today—the disrupted villa, the distressed couple…

Vance and Laura were ashen. What was Shannon even saying? That they not only had to raise Caitlin, a reincarnation of Marissa, but they would also be sharing their home with Edna's spirit?

What kind of twisted "family of four" was this supposed to be?

At that moment, the livestream audience was suddenly amused. Watching karma play out in real time, especially on those who deserved it, was always a crowd favorite.

Then, one comment cut through the noise with quiet weight. "Every child has a guardian angel, and sometimes, that angel's name is Mom."

Even if not from this life, then from the one before.

Many viewers were genuinely moved. When they looked at Edna again, she no longer seemed so terrifying.

From Marissa's perspective, her mother had done everything she could, even from beyond death, to protect her.

In his despair, he failed to notice something.

Right beside him, his much younger wife's eyes were shifting, her expression calculating as if she was thinking hard about something.

Shannon noticed it and raised a brow with intrigue.

Just seconds ago, a subtle change had happened to Laura's face. She, whose fate had once held only a single daughter, was now marked to bear another child in her old age.

With that child came a string of entanglements, romantic ones—not just one man, either, but several.

It looked like the Callaghan family's drama was far from over…
