Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1651

Just like how it'd been countless times before, Benjamin extended his hand toward Shannon, as if reaching out to hold her hand.

Shannon's eyelashes quivered. For a moment, she reacted almost instantly, only to see his finger pointing at her right shoulder.

"That little thing should be mine," he said.

Shannon looked carefully and realized he was pointing at Shanny Gold. Though he was stating the truth, she felt oddly comfortable for some reason.

She reached out and pressed down on Shanny Gold, who was about to leap toward Benjamin. Looking at him, she said, "Its name is Shanny Gold."

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and carefully recalled. "That does sound familiar."

Shannon then pointed to Benji Gold, who stood on the other side of her shoulder. "Its name is Benji Gold. They were meant to be a pair of paper figures."

Benjamin's dark gaze remained unchanged as he asked, "So?"

"So, they're both mine."

She continued, "If all you have is a fragmented memory of Shanny Gold, and you don't understand what it means to you or me, it isn't yours."

Then, almost out of defiance, she turned away to take Shanny Gold and Benji Gold with her without sparing him another glance.

Frowning, Benjamin's gaze fixed on her retreating figure, and a strange pull stirred deep in his chest. It tugged at him as if trying to hold her back.

He knew that was the remnant emotion toward her buried in his memory. Now that he was facing her in reality, that once-foreign memory had begun to feel real.

He stood there watching her until she stepped through the barrier and disappeared from sight.

His black eyes flickered with a trace of shock. "The barrier of the Main Vein has no effect on her…"

She remembered only meeting Luke once. But after learning about Benjamin's true identity, she had no doubt Luke had always known about everything.

From the very start, he'd played a role in keeping the truth from her and helped Benjamin hide everything.

But she couldn't understand why Benjamin had hidden it at all. Was that somehow connected to the way he was acting now?

It seemed only Luke could give her the answers she needed.

Luke hadn't expected Shannon to return so shortly. But the moment he saw her face, he knew everything Benjamin had told him to prepare for had been anticipated.

He raised his arms in surrender as if he'd decided to come clean. "As you can see, I was never the real leader of the Special Security Agency.

"The founder of the Special Security Agency and Demon Control Agency is the man you just met, The Enigma."
