Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1230

Mathias was born in Jamborough. Although far away from Seastone, he had some knowledge of the mystical world thanks to family members who studied the mystic arts.

His main branch family was the well-known Turners in Jamborough. Although he belonged to a cadet branch, he was young and capable, having founded his own company after graduating just this year.

Naturally, the Lawsons—Myla's family—weren't as prominent as the Turners. Still, they were considered a wealthy household in Northgate.

Colin Lawson and Delphina Hayward only had Myla as their only child. In fact, they had planned for her to inherit the family business.

Who would've thought their daughter would be chosen to be an underworld traveler?

In the end, she was admitted to the Northgate School of Mystic Arts, causing them to entertain the idea of finding a capable son-in-law to take over the family business.

More than anything, though, they hoped she could live a normal life by getting married and having children like everyone else.

Back on the first floor, Myla had no choice but to give in to her parents' persistence. With no other option, she could only steel herself and walk toward Mathias.

She was barely 20 years old, and marriage was the last thing on her list of goals. She couldn't understand why her parents assumed her inability to settle down.

"You're Mr. Mathias Turner, aren't you? Well, thanks for coming all the way here. I know how eager my parents are, but this is actually an internal party among the colleges. It's really not appropriate for us to discuss this.

"Why don't we talk about things another day?"

Regardless, he was someone her parents had found, so she didn't want to be rude to him. She planned to suggest another time to talk, but to her surprise, Mathias didn't seem to understand her meaning.

"I know what this party is for. In fact, I know it's the Jensens from Seastone City who organized it. I don't think they'd mind an extra person here."
