Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2204

When Thalia sensed the spatial fluctuations, she immediately wrapped her arms around Adam, still unconscious on the bed.

In the next instant, the two of them were swept up by the array and transported away to what seemed to be beyond the clan's mountain gates.

It seemed so because the once-grand Wynthorpe Manor, with its towering buildings and familiar red gates, had completely vanished without a trace.

Just like Shannon, she could no longer sense Louise or the Wynthorpes' presence.

"Thalia?" Adam's slightly hoarse voice dragged Thalia back from her thoughts. She turned her head mechanically to see Adam, now awake after leaving Wynthrope Manor.

Realization slowly dawned on her. "She lied to me… again."

She should have known. How could she expect answers hidden from her for over 400 years to be suddenly laid bare just because she called Louise "Mother"?

Yes, Louise had told the truth about the awakening of the traitor hiding within the Wynthorpe clan. Louise had treated her with sincerity as a mother would a daughter, but it was all a setup to lower the traitor's guard.

Louise knew that during these quiet, emotional days when she reunited with Thalia and Adam, she'd be the most defenseless as the Ruler of Foxes, alongside the Wynthorpes.

Thalia didn't blame Louise for not involving her in the plan. What angered her was that Louise had only gone halfway and tossed her out alone!

Her heart surged with chaotic emotions. She wanted to lash out, but didn't know where to begin.

That was when Reuben's presence appeared behind her. She turned around to see Reuben and Luke standing not far off.

They'd clearly sensed the disturbance and rushed to the scene. Compared to Thalia's disarray, Reuben appeared calm and composed.
