Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2449

"Am I the only one curious why Livy reached out to him instead of her fellow cast members?"

"If I remembered correctly, Skylar had once lectured Livy to the point where she cried…"

Seeing all the curious and skeptical comments flooding the livestream chat, Olivia quickly jumped in to explain, "Whatever happened between me and Skylar is ancient history. He's my mystic arts consultant these days.

"Any time I run into trouble with something spiritual, he's the first person I call."

It was a subtle way of justifying why her first instinct had been to reach out to Skylar. She sounded confident enough, but those who really knew her could still catch that brief flicker of guilt in her eyes.

Skylar, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about the barrage of commentary. He got straight to the point. "I've got the gist of it. Send me a photo or video of your friend's cat."

The viewers couldn't help but lament at how classic he was behaving, still as stiff and serious as ever.

The requester finally snapped out of her excitement, as Skylar's no-nonsense tone somehow made her nervous, too.

She scrambled to switch screens and quickly opened her friend's Instagram to find the cat videos.

"This is my friend's account. It's filled with cat videos. Can you see them clearly, Skylar?"

Everyone's attention followed the phone screen as the requester played a video from her friend's social media. Since it was a screen share, the quality wasn't crystal clear.

Still, it was enough to see the cat being its usual adorable self. In one quick flash, the cat's owner, the requester's friend, appeared briefly in the background.

Shannon had been casually watching like the others, but something in the video made her eyes narrow slightly.

Without saying a word, she pulled out her phone and typed the account name into the platform's search bar to look it up directly.

Her actions didn't go unnoticed, as a number of viewers picked up on it.

She paused, then asked, "My cat can come with me, right, Skylar?"

Uncertain whether the danger involved the cat, she asked just in case, though her tone hoped it wasn't the case.

Thankfully, Skylar's voice came back quickly. "The cat is fine. It's a man you should be afraid of. Once you leave your place, don't speak to anybody you see and head straight to the police station."

No sooner had Skylar finished speaking than the video showed Pearl stuffing her cat into a carrier. With her phone in hand and the cat safely packed, she hurried out the door.

Following Skylar's advice, she didn't greet anyone along the way. In less than ten minutes, they had slipped into the nearest police station.

Only when she was safely inside did the livestream audience finally breathe a sigh of relief. Those ten minutes had felt like a desperate escape alongside Pearl.

What no one knew was that just minutes after Pearl and her cat entered the station, a man's silhouette appeared at the doorstep of her home…
