Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2256

Nestled in Shannon's arms, Bianca stiffened.

When she slowly turned her head and met the red fox face magnified right in front of her, her pupils widened in shock.

Bianca, who'd looked on the verge of death just moments ago, suddenly sprang up from Shannon's embrace. "Oh my moth—"

The red fox shifted into human form. Marilyn stood atop the floating foxfire and held a long, red whip in her hand. With a flick of her wrist, the whip burst into foxfire.

Without hesitation, she lashed the fiery whip straight at Bianca.

"So, you do remember I'm your mother! Of all things to fake, you chose to fake death! Believe it or not, I'll burn all your novels into ashes!"

While dodging, Bianca still managed to correct Marilyn. "Nowadays, everyone reads novels on their phones, Mom. No one uses paper books anymore. You can't burn them even if you want to."

Marilyn's expression darkened. Her whip cracked sharply through the air as she shouted, "Then I'll just burn you!"

The scene turned into a whirlwind of chasing chaos.

Meanwhile, Shannon calmly retracted her hand after Bianca leapt away. She flicked the blood residue from her fingertips and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand.

Acting sure was exhausting. If Marilyn hadn't shown up just in time, she had been planning to toss Bianca off her.

She could tolerate playing along for a while, but if it kept dragging on, she honestly couldn't squeeze out any more tears.

Meanwhile, Louise finally released Thalia after seeing Marilyn appear.

Thalia, who had been on the verge of tears, looked visibly dazed now. One could hardly blame her, as the atmosphere just moments ago had been completely immersive and solemn.

As for Benjamin, he watched as Marilyn chased Bianca with a whip and walked forward. He took Shannon's hand and began wiping the lingering blood paste from her fingers.

"Was that real blood?"

"Fake. It was mixed with a trace of her supernatural energy, so it smells just like her real blood," Shannon replied.

If she hadn't come into contact with it, she would never have sensed any difference.

The group remained completely unfazed and composed as Marilyn finally finished disciplining Bianca and dragged her back.
