Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 25

When the Shaw couple heard that the mastermind might hurt Emily again, they tensed up once more. Helen hugged Emily tightly as if to protect her.

Donald didn't doubt a single word Shannon said. He solemnly reported, "I already got people to check the surveillance cameras and see what happened when Emily went missing, but they didn't find anything.

"I can get them to continue the investigation, but I'm worried that they won't be able to discover more information that quickly. If…"

There was a chance that the mastermind could get a new expert to steal Emily's lifespan before the Shaws found out who was behind the whole thing. Donald didn't want to see Emily falling into an unconscious state again.

Thus, he pleaded, "Ms. Jensen, is there any other way for us to find out who the culprit is? Don't worry. As long as you can save my daughter, I'll give you anything you want."

After mulling it over, Shannon said, "It's not impossible."

Shannon took out a piece of candy from her pocket and placed it on Emily's bed. Emily's eyes lit up at once. Smiling, she said to Emily gently, "Emmie, shall we play a game? I'll treat you to some candy."

Emily stared longingly at the piece of candy, but she turned around and gave Helen a look to ask for permission.

Helen nodded at once. "She just wants to play with you, Emmie. Why don't you play with her for a while, okay?"

Since Helen didn't object, Emily smiled and took the candy before nodding happily in response to Shannon's earlier question.

Still smiling faintly, Shannon took out a thin red string and tied it around Emily's thumb that was used to seal the agreement. Then, she took out her brush and swiftly drew a tiny sigil on Emily's thumb.
