Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1594

Shannon listened to Thalia's words, and her expression faltered for a fleeting moment. She remembered asking Benjamin more than once who he truly was. Yet, he had never told her the truth.

Was it that back then, he already knew that the marriage contract between them had been fake from the very beginning?

He knew it was all fake, yet he still regarded her as a true marriage partner…

An inexplicable dull pain struck her chest. Scenes of his disappearance kept replaying in her mind, rendering her in suffocation.

Thalia was ready to say more when Shannon suddenly regained her composure and asked, "Mom, has the Dreambeast's true form been dealt with?"

Unsure why she would ask about the Dreambeast, Thalia answered, "Not yet. It's still temporarily detained at the Seastone Security Branch Agency. In a couple of days, the headquarters will arrange for someone to come and take over the handling."

"I want to meet it," said Shannon.

Thalia had intended to tell her to rest more and set the Dreambeast case aside, considering she had just awakened, but Hector, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. "Let me send you."

Shannon looked toward Adam and Hector. "Thanks, Hector."

As for the matters regarding Shannon, Thalia had already informed them when she returned from the alternate world.

She never intended to hide anything from them, whether it was about her demon origin or any other matters. Especially with such a major event as Benjamin's disappearance, it was impossible to keep it a secret.

Apart from Adam and Hector, Thalia only told George the truth. The Cooper family managed to stabilize the situation with the help of the authorities. On the way here, Hector also briefly mentioned the situation with the Coopers.

"As soon as Benjamin disappeared, the Coopers immediately became uneasy. Thankfully, he'd already arranged for people to handle the company affairs in his stead."

He paused for a moment, then looked at his sister. "He also found someone specifically to teach Henry. Once he grows up, the Cooper family will still be passed into his hands."

Inside the spacious room, the floor was covered with a huge array of symbols. As Shannon walked in, she didn't immediately see Dreambeast. Instead, she spotted the Stone Turtle sitting by the edge of the array, holding a piece of raw stone and nibbling on it.

The Stone Turtle no longer appeared as it did in the dream realm. It had returned to its original pendant-like form, but now, it had become a living figure that could move freely.

The person who led Shannon inside said, "The Dreambeast is sly, and its form is elusive. Before the headquarters take over, Mr. Tucker has asked Mr. Stone Turtle to temporarily stay in charge to prevent the Dreambeast's escape."

The matter was also approved by Hank. As for the raw stone the Mini Stone Turtle was currently chewing on, it was the "payment" given by the Special Security Agency.

Upon seeing Shannon approach, the Mini Stone Turtle casually set down the raw stone, walked over to her, its legs clicking as it came closer, and looked up at her.

She bent down and lifted it on her palm, then glanced at the talismanic array. "Where's the Dreambeast?"
