Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1609

Shannon hesitated briefly before stepping forward.

From the way Marilyn had used her fox tail to drag Thalia away, it was clear that was the former's true speed.

With such speed, there was no way Shannon's wind blade could've casually chopped off the fox fur.

She recalled the fox fur she'd picked up earlier. The root was neatly intact, and instead of looking like it'd been cut off, it seemed more like Marilyn had shed it on purpose.

It meant everything had simply been an excuse to take Thalia away. And from the mirage-like illusion, they were clearly targeting her from the beginning.

She might as well enter alone since the person inside wanted her to do so.

She thought she'd see a scene similar to when she returned to the Jensens, but to her surprise, only Reuben was in the main hall of the grand royal palace.

Despite being just one demon, Shannon felt like a dozen pairs of eyes were watching her, yet she couldn't sense where the gazes came from.

Her gaze shifted toward the seat behind Reuben, where a snow-white-fox-fur-covered chair was. Someone seemed to be sitting there, but she couldn't see anyone except Reuben.

"Shannon, you did not disappoint me." Reuben looked at her. His expression was calm, but within that calmness was an unexpected gentleness.

"I know why you came, so I've arranged everything for you. From today onward, you're officially part of the clan."

With that, a soft bell chime rang from Shannon's wrist. It was the bell Reuben had entrusted Yvette to give Shannon on the latter's birthday; the exact same bell Thalia also had.

According to Thalia, every member of the Wynthorpe family had one.

As her wristbell swayed, she heard an answering chime from outside. Shannon instinctively turned toward the sound.
