Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1951

Thalia couldn't understand why Reuben would adopt a half-demon, but he'd done that nonetheless.

Reuben stared at her for some time before finally saying, "I just wanted to test something."

The dragon clan should be favored by the Divine Power among all demon clans, so why was it that only the Wynthorpe clan's Ten-Tailed Elythune could commune with the Divine Power?

If he could uncover a different answer on the dragon clan, would the clan elders finally stop casting their greedy eyes on Thalia and her children?

But dragons were rare, and Cornelius was the only suitable candidate he'd found in all these years.

Thalia didn't know what was going on through his mind. She asked, "What are you trying to test?"

Cornelius didn't reply. Instead, he said, "I'll tell you if I find the answer."

If he couldn't get the answer, there was no point in bringing it up now.

Thalia listened to his non-answer, and the irritation she'd just suppressed began to bubble up once more. "I shouldn't have asked."

She turned to leave, but after a couple of steps, she paused and turned back again.

Seeing Reuben's usual expressionless face, she took a deep breath and said, "I already know it wasn't you who secretly brought Hector back from abroad."

That had been the clan elders' doing, but he hadn't denied it.

If Marilyn hadn't told her the truth, Thalia might have kept blaming him this whole time.

She recalled the moment when her mystic symbols had erupted under pressure from the elders and the brief flash of concern on Reuben's face as he suppressed them for her.

If she could help it, she would never want Reuben to be the one hurting her children.
