Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2181

Even if it was for the sake of forging a Ten-Tailed Elythune, Louise would never give up on Shannon.

However, that was precisely the reason for Thalia's reluctance. Why did Shannon's importance have to be weighed through her value and potential?

To Thalia, Shannon was perfect as she was.

"I'll think of a way to bring her back, not because she's the reincarnation of the Ten-Tailed Elythune, but because she's my daughter."

With that, Thalia turned around and left without looking at Louise's reaction.

Once she exited the courtyard where the Soul Tree stood, she turned into the long corridor, only to find Reuben standing at the end of it.

When he saw her, his striking brows settled into a calm, unreadable expression. "You shouldn't have spoken to Mother like that."

The anger that had just been suppressed within Thalia flared up again.

"Well, wait till your child's soul goes missing, then you'll finally realize how much I was holding back earlier. In this mess, neither Shannon nor I is the one in the wrong."

She paused, unsatisfied, and added, "Of course, you will never understand, considering you're childless."

Reuben was speechless. What a clear, indiscriminate attack.

His eyes darkened slightly, but when they met Thalia's tear-reddened ones, all the emotions in them faded into helplessness.

Lowering his gaze, Reuben insisted on explaining, "Mother wasn't trying to—"

As soon as he spoke, an all-too-familiar divine soul energy suddenly swept through Wynthorpe Manor.

Thalia snapped her head around, a flash of light igniting in her eyes. She was about to rush off when Reuben stepped forward first, grabbing her arm.
