Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1234

At the ballroom upstairs, Solomon heard about the commotion involving Shannon and Myla. He deliberately looked at Logan and Caesar, commenting, "It's not appropriate for mystic practitioners to terrorize ordinary people, you know?"

Logan raised a brow. "Terrorize? If we're being real, that kid might actually summon spirits if he kept that up."

Spilling wine onto him to prevent him from committing more foolish acts was undoubtedly a precautionary exorcism.

Caesar added, "Myla is indeed an underworld traveler. They weren't lying."

As for intimidating Mathias by saying that she would chain his soul… Well, she didn't actually do it. Therefore, the matter could easily be overlooked. After all, youngsters loved to run their mouths nowadays.

Since their respective lecturers condoned their behaviors, Shannon and Myla were naturally out of trouble.

…

On the first floor, Myla waited for the Turners to leave before looking admiringly at Shannon. Things would've gotten ugly if it weren't for her intervention earlier!

"Shannon, are you really not considering enrolling into Northgate? I'm obsessed with you!"

This time, Shannon rejected decisively. "I'm not."

Myla seemed dejected. "Alright, then. I'll think of a way to transfer to Seastone."

Leaving Northgate would signify escaping from her parents' pressure for marriage. What a great idea, she thought.

After seeing the Turners off, Colin and Delphina returned and thanked Shannon with a smile. Then they turned to Myla.

"I didn't expect he'd turn out to be someone like that. We were careless this time. But don't worry, because the guy you're meeting tomorrow is definitely a good catch."

Delphina was at a total loss for words.

Not wanting to talk about marriage before Shannon, Myla led her up to the second floor. When she recalled the former had a fiancé, she asked, "You're younger than me, yet you're already engaged. Did your family force it, too?"

Caught off guard by her question, Shannon shook her head. "They didn't."

Even when Thalia gave her and Benjamin the red marks, there hadn't been any coercion. To be precise, she chose him as her fiancé.

It had just been a pretense in the beginning, but now… She wasn't so sure anymore upon recalling what he had said earlier.

Delphina's last words resurfaced in her mind. If Benjamin was the one who left the lights on for her, their house would definitely be the brightest among all. That imagery didn't seem so bad, did it?
