Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1715

If Verus was the merman in the story, was Shiloh the rescued princess?

Shannon didn't keep them guessing any longer. She looked up at Shiloh.

"This year's your zodiac year, and you had a destined calamity related to water. Judging from your face, you've escaped the danger. Someone must've saved you, right?"

Shiloh's expression shifted subtly, and she nodded. "Yes, at the start of the year. I went surfing at sea and got caught in a massive wave. When I nearly drowned, Gunner saved me."

She paused and looked up at Shannon. "You brought up the Tale of the Merman. Are you saying I mistook my savior for someone else?"

Gunner's face changed dramatically as he quickly cut in. "Shiloh, don't listen to her! Shannon and Verus are working together to set us up!"

Shiloh shot him a glance and said, "Stay quiet. Let's hear the full story before jumping to conclusions."

Then, she turned back to Shannon. "Could you explain in more detail?"

Shannon replied, "I can only read faces. If you want the full story, you should ask the person involved."

Then, she turned to Verus. Shiloh followed her gaze and asked, "Are you the one who saved me at the beach earlier this year?"

Verus stared at her for two seconds and looked slightly hesitant. "Maybe?"
