The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 1068

The old seer said, “My dear, the cards reveal a troubling tale. Someone's demise has been linked to you, her spirit restless and haunting. They say it's easier to make enemies than to shake them off. I can perform a ritual to soothe the spirit, but you must earnestly seek forgiveness to set them free for rebirth.”

Sheryl's mouth twitched slightly.

She didn't believe she had done anything wrong.

After all, Joyce and Fredric weren't married at that time, so why shouldn't she pursue him?

Love was a battlefield and everyone's fair game.

“Master, I need a word with you in private.”

She left Aurelia and Beverley in the waiting room as she followed the old man to the backyard.

A long while later, she returned.

“Let's head back.”

Aurelia had no clue what Sheryl discussed with the old man, but the old man's loyalty had been bought by Aurelia.

Back at the hotel, her assistant sent her a message.

Sheryl had requested a ritual from the old seer to shatter Joyce's spirit completely.

Aurelia was shocked. She had hoped Sheryl would truly repent and seek forgiveness, and maybe then Jelena would find peace.

But this was a low blow. She seemed to hold no remorse at all.

Indeed, people who invite pity often have hateful aspects too.

Beverley, sitting beside her, glanced at the message and was equally stunned.

“Has Sheryl lost her mind? Does she even know what she's doing? We need to talk some sense into her.”

Aurelia grabbed her arm, “Confronting her would give us away. She might think we're setting her up.”

Beverley pursed her lips, “Then we'll be subtle.”
