Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 24

As if drawn by invisible threads, the five talismans whooshed through the air before pasting themselves firmly on five different spots of Emily's body.

The moment they attached themselves to her, they seemed to be lit on fire. Wisps of dark smoke emerged from the center of each talisman. A loud crack rang out as the emerald pendant on her forehead split into two.

At the same time, at a nearby diner, a middle-aged man was gleefully staring at his phone screen. It displayed the huge amount that had been transferred into his bank account. But at the very next second, without any warning, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious on the floor.

Screams filled the air as everyone in the diner panicked.

Back at the Shaw residence, everyone was quiet, including Hector. They all had looks of absolute disbelief.

Tilly nearly forgot to breathe too. When the situation finally registered in her head, she hesitantly stretched her hand out, feeling around the air above the emerald pendant and the talismans as if to check whether there was some kind of trick afoot.

Why else would the talismans have stuck themselves onto Emily? Why would the pendant have broken into two after that? That was an emerald pendant!

"Mom!" Donald called out in displeasure when he saw what Tilly was doing.

Meanwhile, Desmond snapped out of his reverie too. He shouted, "It's all just a trick! Don't be fooled, Mrs. Shaw Senior!"

Con artists like him all had several tricks up their sleeves. He, too, had secretly mastered the art of seemingly creating flames out of nowhere to trick his victims. He certainly didn't believe that a young woman who was barely an adult could accomplish much.

If she were indeed some kind of expert in the mystic arts, he would willingly eat his own foot!

After thinking that, Desmond noticed that the Shaws' expressions had changed. Even Tilly's eyes had widened.

Desmond got an uneasy feeling. He looked at the bed, only to realize that Emily, who had been unconscious the whole time… had opened her eyes!
