Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1931

Benjamin would never let Shannon down.

His darkened gaze lit up in delight at her words, and without thinking, he leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss between her brows. "Thank you for waiting for me, Shannon."

After a long pause, he gently released her and, with careful hands, placed the Bentrix Stone necklace around her neck. Just as he had done when he first gave it to her, he personally fastened it for her.

As the familiar warmth and weight settled against Shannon's chest, a quiet sense of acceptance washed over her. Deep down, she found herself unexpectedly agreeing with his words about the Core Vein Stone being returned to its rightful owner.

It was a comforting feeling, as though everything had finally fallen back into place.

…

On one side, there was the joy of reunion and reconciliation.

On the other hand, at Wynthorpe Manor, the atmosphere quickly returned to its usual quietude after Thalia and her entourage departed.

However, her parting words, laced with subtle hints, caused quite a stir.

The clan elders, particularly those with a strong sense of honor, were deeply angered upon hearing them, with some so furious that their beards turned white. Yet, despite their outrage, they found themselves powerless to do anything about it.

Reuben, indifferent to the clan elders fuming over their lost prestige, felt the dragon energy slowly dissipating from the clouds above. He then turned, heading toward the Soul Tree in the rear courtyard.

Hector's bell no longer chimed.

Shannon had caught a fleeting glimpse of it in the illusion but hadn't paid close attention.

However, had she come in person, she would have noticed that the Soul Tree, which she had first seen with its vibrant energy, now showed a faint shift in its energy.

Reuben walked all the way to the Soul Tree, only to find Bianca squatting beneath it, her hands held up in a clear sign of punishment.

She had taken matters into her own hands, trying to force her way into the manor by pretending to speak on behalf of the clan leader and elders. Despite being the daughter of Marilyn, the clan couldn't simply ignore her actions.
