Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1418

The boy's earlier arrogance when taunting Cassidy completely disappeared when faced with Heston.

He stood trembling in place. His instinctive reaction was to flee, but his feet felt as if they were locked in place by Heston's gaze.

When he saw Heston slowly raise his hand, the boy let out a terrified cry and instinctively covered his head shaking in fear.

The next moment, he felt the toy he held was snatched away.

With a cold face, Heston yanked the toy out of the boy's hands and swiftly snapped the arms off. Then, he coldly warned, "No bullying."

His warning was cold and commanding before he returned the broken toy to the boy.

The boy looked at Heston, then at the broken toy in his hands. He finally couldn't hold it in and burst into loud sobs. "Mommy!"

He turned around crying as he fled off.

Cassidy stood frozen and watched the boy flee. It was until a large hand suddenly grabbed her arm and lifted her off the ground.

As they made physical contact, she shuddered.

She was reminded of Fingen's large hand, who would sometimes grab her arm like this to prevent her from running away while his other hand held a belt to whip her.

Though Fingen was dead, she instinctively feared this kind of touch.

But once she was back on her feet, Cassidy realized Heston in front of her was different from Fingen. His hands were a little cold, but his grip was gentle and did not hurt her like Fingen's.

Heston bent over to study Cassidy for a while. Then, he seemed to ponder thoughtfully before asking, "Come with me?"

Cassidy found Heston a little strange. She looked up and asked, "Are you a kidnapper?"

Heston frowned. He disliked kidnappers.

Shaking his head, he answered, "I'm Heston."
