Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1452

Though Shannon promised to think of other ways to get the system out of the mosaic scutes tortoise's body, the system fell deeply depressed and utterly frustrated.

Shannon didn't return the alligator snapping turtle since she was still considering a body swap. As a result, the King of Testudines kept trying to bite the system every time it saw the latter.

The system was really close to running away from home.

But Shannon wasn't in the mood to comfort the system since Thalia's welcome-back party was near.

This event was more formal, unlike Shannon's previous grand reception. It was attended by the most prominent socialites in Seastone.

In Shannon's case, they'd focused on helping her integrate into Seastone's elite social circles by inviting younger guests. This time, it was more of a gathering for ladies of the upper crust.

Though curious, Shannon couldn't help but wonder how the Thalia she knew who disliked social obligations, would handle such an event.

To her surprise, Thalia managed it effortlessly.

Someone praised her, "You've maintained yourself so well, Mrs. Jensen. You don't look a day over 30. Now that you're back, Mr. Jensen must treasure you dearly, right?"

Thalia responded with a graceful smile, "You look just the same as the last time I saw you, Mrs. Lowe. I recognized you right away."

Others inquired, "Where have you been all these years, Mrs. Jensen? We've missed you so much."

Thalia replied warmly, "Thank you for that. It's such a joy to reunite with so many old friends."

In truth, she'd seen these people regularly in the alternate world, and some were her key clients. There was a huge portion of truth to claiming to recognize them at first glance.

Thanks to this familiarity, Thalia showed no nervousness in the face of such a huge crowd. She exuded absolute confidence since she was the host.

After accompanying Thalia to greet a few ladies, Shannon slipped away. She prepared to head over when she saw Clara wave at her from another corner.
