Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1593

Shannon watched as Tortoise the System forcibly floated in front of her as it was held back by the black smoke.

Before she could speak, the tortoise was suddenly kicked away by a little golden paper figure. Benji Gold first flew excitedly around her head, then landed back on her face.

The tiny paper figure, with short arms and legs, stuck to half of her face in a big-character shape, crying loudly. Marshmallow also waddled over, whining as it nuzzled into her arms.

Shannon let them snuggle up to her, reaching out to pet Marshmallow. But unexpectedly, she saw her empty palm.

She froze for a moment. Her mind wandered back to the memory before she fell into darkness, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

So, this wasn't a dream after all. The red mark, the contract she had with Benjamin, had actually vanished.

…

Outside the barrier, Leah and Peanut noticed Shannon had woken up and became excited but couldn't get close because of the barrier.

Before they could notify anyone, the door to her room was suddenly pushed open. Thalia, Adam, and Hector quickly walked in.

The moment Shannon woke up, Thalia had sensed it through her barrier.

Thalia couldn't hold back her tears when she saw her sitting awake by the bed. She quickly waved her hand to drop the barrier, rushing over to embrace her daughter.

Tortoise the System and Marshmallow were squeezed out, and the still air suddenly was filled with voices. Even the people in the originally quiet household secretly let out a breath of relief.

Shannon then heard from Thalia about what had happened throughout the day. She recalled many things, yet none of them mentioned Benjamin.

After listening to the whole thing in silence, Shannon asked, "I want to know… about him."

She forcefully implanted the red mark onto both of them, creating a false illusion that they were fated to be together just to bind him and Shannon together.

As long as this bond existed, even if Reuben and his clan discovered Shannon's existence, he would have to take that bond into account and wouldn't dare to harm Shannon so easily.

"It was all fake…"

Shannon didn't expect this to be the truth. Looking at the empty spot on her palm, she mumbled with trembling eyes, "It was all fake; that's why he, along with the mark, disappeared, right?"

Thalia looked at her, feeling reluctant, but still gritted her teeth and said, "The mark didn't disappear because he did. It's because he'd awakened. Once the Dragon Vein awakens and returns to its true form, all the contract powers placed on Benjamin will vanish."

The Dragon Vein simply couldn't be contracted to anyone.
