Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 676

Hector's brief statement effortlessly swayed Annalise, who had originally been biased toward Cecily, to his side. Similarly, Alex and Linda, who had a daughter, were enlightened by his "reminder" and revealed their stances.

"How can we change her last name? She was only supposed to be a foster child, not an adopted member of the Jensens. It has stayed that way for years, so why change it now?"

Alex was steadfast in his objection. If Cecily became a Jensen, whose family would she belong to?

Naturally, Linda expressed her opposition. Although she had planned to divorce Alex, she had to consider Eva, one of the family's two daughters, and her future!

There was no way she would allow Eva to have her marriage gifts split among three. Though she had questionable motives while conceiving Eva, it didn't diminish her motherly love for her daughter.

She could overlook the family's support for Cecily over the years but wouldn't accept giving Cecily the same amount of status as the true Jensen daughters.

"Hector isn't entirely wrong. Cecily still has her family. We can't just change her last name and give her marriage gifts on behalf of them. How is that any different from humiliating the Snowdens?"

Linda had mastered the art of eloquence after marrying into the Jensen family. Thus, no matter how subtle and kind her words sounded, they couldn't cover the fact that she wanted Cecily out of the house.

Meanwhile, Hank wanted to refute Hector's words but held back when Alex and Linda objected. He had no choice but to stay silent to avoid contradicting his parents.

The initial topic of the conversation was whether to keep or send Cecily away. With Hector's intervention, he smoothly reminded everyone that keeping her in the house meant acknowledging her as a Jensen from now on.

Humans would usually wish for things to remain the same when faced with no choice. However, once an option arose, they often felt tempted to embrace change.

Hector's words inherently became a catalyst in swaying the majority's opinions.

The whole time, Shannon stayed quiet and observed her brother. She couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration toward him for the first time.
