Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1653

Yet, Shannon had shut out Benjamin's genuine feelings just because he once hid the truth from her.

From the look on her face, Luke could tell that she'd listened. That meant he'd completed half of what The Enigma had entrusted him with.

"I've said everything I needed to. Whether you choose to accept him as he is and move forward, or completely let him go and walk your path, that choice is yours."

As he spoke, he concealed the depth in his gaze.

To be honest, there was one last thing Benjamin had told him to pass on, but Luke wasn't going to tell her just yet.

The dragon clan had existed for generations, born from and nurtured by the Dragon Vein itself. If the Dragon Vein guarded Crisea, the dragon clan's duty was to guard the Dragon Vein.

Benjamin was different from everyone else. And because of that, Shannon, whom Benjamin cared for, was someone Luke had to carefully consider.

He wanted to see what her choice was, and it was only after that he'd decide whether to reveal the final words to her.

Shannon had no idea what Luke was thinking. After hearing everything, she needed time to sort through her thoughts and decide what to do next, just as Luke had said.

Luke soon left, while Shannon remained alone in the desolate mountain forest.

Not long after, Kai popped out.

Since Shannon stepped out of the barrier, he'd been lurking outside and instantly sensed her presence. In fact, he'd been eavesdropping the entire time she spoke with Luke. He could vaguely guess the situation from what he'd overheard, though he hadn't seen Benjamin.

Scratching his head in frustration, he turned to Shannon and asked, "You saw him, right? Is it true that he… does not recognize you anymore?"
