Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1569

Everyone's heads snapped toward the stairs. Compared to the sudden appearance of the man, what truly shocked Shannon and the others was the fact that… Isolde was dead.

How could that be? Before bringing Sylvia to Seastone, they'd instructed Arenvale Security Branch Agency to ensure Isolde's safety.

Shannon narrowed her eyes at the figure at the top of the stairs. "Jordan."

The man once disguised himself as a student of Seastone University and used Isabel's novel to leak information about the alternate world. In truth, he was a living soul from the alternate world created by the Divine Power.

Her gaze landed on Benjamin. She was about to tell him to step back when Benjamin stopped her. "I'm staying?"
