Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1788

Thalia hesitated for a moment, wondering whether she should tell Shannon.

However, rather than letting her be completely unaware and possibly fall victim to the schemes of the Wynthorpe clan, she preferred that Shannon be prepared and cautious when dealing with them—especially when it came to Reuben.

"Of course, rumors are just rumors," Thalia continued, her tone softer. "The Wynthorpe clan hasn't truly given birth to an atavistic descendant in all these years. The real ten-tailed fox, perhaps, is something only seen in dreams."

Although Thalia claimed not to believe in the rumors, she had taken some precautions while conceiving Shannon. Of course, Shannon didn't have to know that.

What mattered was that she didn't want Shannon to end up like herself, being manipulated by their own family.

After all, Thalia's birth had been nothing more than part of Louise's scheme. For this unfounded rumor, Louise had specifically sought out a human—her father—and through him, she had given birth to her, a half-demon.

…

The rare heart-to-heart conversation between mother and daughter continued until late into the night. The next day, Shannon still woke up according to her biological clock.

She went downstairs and happened to run into Hector, who was having breakfast. After sharing a meal and exchanging a few words, she saw him off as he left for work.

Hector remained his usual composed self the entire time. However, once he stepped outside, his smile faded, and he immediately instructed the driver, "To the airport."

Three hours later, the private jet landed at Jamborough Airport. Hector directed the driver to head straight to the Demon District.

Since Shannon had previously given him a bracelet made of powerful demon fur, along with his previous visits, Hector's presence didn't draw much attention from the demons.

He continued on, arriving at the house where Shannon lived. Without stopping there, he walked straight to the neighboring yard and knocked on the door.

The two thuds on the door sounded particularly loud in the otherwise quiet yard.

Hector had initially thought Benjamin might not be around after the ordeal, but it didn't matter. He had already figured out a few other locations to check.

If this wasn't the right place, he would head to the Special Security Headquarters.

To Hector's surprise, the first place he tried led him straight to the person he was looking for.

The door opened, and he saw the person standing inside. Just like the last time he had seen him, he didn't appear injured.
