Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1917

Shannon didn't understand why Benjamin said that.

It was true that they once had the red mark as proof of their marriage contract, but the marriage contract had automatically disappeared with his awakening.

Since his return, he'd never acknowledged their relationship. Why was he suddenly stepping forward to help her deal with this mess?

Shannon wanted to say it wasn't necessary. She'd made up her mind, and more importantly, Benjamin couldn't form a contract with anyone as the Dragon Vein. She had no intention of binding herself to him again.

She tried to pull away, but he didn't let go.

Louise had regained her usual relaxed demeanor. Watching their little struggle, she simply remarked, "As far as I know, Thalia forced you into the so-called marriage contract. You no longer have anything to do with each other now that the contract is abolished."

Thalia lowered her gaze slightly. She'd used a trick to imprint the red mark on Shannon and Benjamin's palms back then, hoping that one day, Benjamin would protect Shannon for the sake of the contract.

Now that things were unfolding just as she'd planned, she still felt a little displeased knowing Louise knew everything.

Perhaps Louise had seen through everything she'd painstakingly planned for her children over the years. She'd just been watching from the sidelines and waiting for this moment, where she could easily sweep everything away with just a flick of her hand.

Thalia quickly buried her dissatisfaction. Then, she heard Benjamin say, "The marriage contract is indeed gone, but Shannon and I once held a wedding, which was witnessed by spiritual beings and the heavens and earth."

As the words left his lips, Benjamin felt something loosen deep inside him. As it did, the emotions belonging to the Soul surged forward and merged with him.

Memories in his mind began to light up piece by piece with color. Within those memories, Shannon's figure was everywhere.

A dark whirlpool seemed to stir in his black eyes. He tightened his grip on Shannon's hand briefly before letting go.
