Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1058

Janel ended up transferring the 300 dollars she'd just received back to Shannon.

She wasn't quite up to date with the news and had no idea who Shannon was, but from the way the latter had just dealt with Bradley, Janel could tell Shannon wouldn't lie to her.

After all, no one would go to such lengths for a mere 300 dollars. Even if Shannon was lying, Janel figured that she'd lose half a pill at worst.

"Consider this half pill a gift. Now tell me; do I stand a chance of marrying Bradley?"

Janel didn't bother hiding her intentions. She was determined to secure her position through her pregnancy. Else why would she go to such lengths to cling to Bradley?

She no longer cared about giving up her education. Marrying Bradley was the best way forward for her.

Under Janel's seemingly casual but apprehensive gaze, Shannon remained calm and indifferent. Then. she shattered Janel's hope with a single word. "No."

Janel's heart sank, and her expression turned gloomy. Just as she was about to lash out and question Shannon's ability, the latter continued, "You can't marry Bradley because you're locked in a ghost marriage."

Since Janel was bound to another marriage, it was impossible for her to marry Bradley, and having a child wouldn't change that.

Janel froze at Shannon's words. Then, her face turned pale, followed by a sharp incredulous scream. "Impossible!"

She knew what a ghost marriage was. Back in her hometown, she'd witnessed the villagers hosting such ceremonies when she was younger. But how could she possibly be involved in one?

"That's impossible…" Her voice trembled with agitation as she stared at Shannon. Her eyes reddened with hatred, but the hatred wasn't directed at Shannon.

"They… They told me they were just arranging a marriage for me…"
