Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 949

"When did I say it was about her?"

Shannon left her hanging, while Thomas sensibly left the dining area, leaving Marie alone, gloomy and upset. By the time the family doctor completed a comprehensive checkup for Marie, Shannon had left with Tortoise the System.

Marie stepped into the garden and saw Marshmallow heading back into the house as if it had just seen its owner off. Due to her terrible mood, she surprisingly went up to it. Seeing it was ready to run, she waved and called out, "Come back."

Marshmallow, ready to bolt, suddenly stopped and even turned around to look at her, as if asking her what she wanted. She knew it was intelligent but never expected it to be this smart.

Suddenly, she felt the urge to talk to it. The truth was, she had been feeling quite stifled inside.

"Say, why does your owner have such a bad temper? I'm her grandmother; can't she be nicer to me?"

Marshmallow initially sat and obediently listened to what she had to say. When it heard Marie's "opening monologue", it lazily flicked its tail with nothing better to do.

Marie didn't care whether it was listening, continuing, "I know she thinks it's ridiculous of me to still defend Cecily and that I treat Cecily better than her. The truth is, that's what humans do.

"It's like a pet you've had for many years. Even if you knew she'd done wrong and hurt people, deep inside, you could never have the heart to back her into the corner… She has you as her pet; she should understand that feeling."

Marie felt truly misunderstood. She simply asked to revoke Cecily's arrest warrant because she wanted to be merciful and give her a way out. How could Shannon not understand that?

Upon confirming that Marie only wanted to talk bad about Shannon, Marshmallow shook its butt and left. This old woman only deserved to talk to its small tush.
