Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1719

Shiloh's words were spoken with ease. There wasn't the slightest sense that she was just putting on a front.

Seeing this, Verus didn't bother rejecting the kind offer. He'd explained everything he needed to, and she insisted on not taking it back.

After accepting the Zenyoistone with a clear conscience, he took the time to carefully wipe it with a clean cloth before putting it on. He hadn't forgotten that Gunner had been wearing this against his skin all along. That was just gross.

Shiloh found his reaction quite amusing. Then, as if a playful thought crossed her mind, she suddenly said, "Since you're my savior, I'll arrange for you to have everything the Olsen family gave Gunner.

"That includes something Gunner really wanted—the chance to become the Olsen family's son-in-law. I can offer that to you as well."

As she spoke, she winked at Verus.

Her words stunned Anton and the others, while Gunner almost coughed up blood.

What the hell did Shiloh mean? She'd ignored all his efforts to win her over, and now she was offering this chance to Verus instead.

Why? Verus wasn't even human!

Was she insane? Was she actually interested in a demon?

At first, Verus didn't quite process what she was implying. But once he did, his expression turned serious.

Taking a step back, he flatly rejected her without a second thought. "I don't want it. I refuse. Don't even think about it."

His rejection was so firm that Anton nearly fell to his knees. Oh, come on, even if Verus were to turn her down, couldn't he at least be a little more tactful?

Shiloh was the daughter of the Olsens! Did Verus not care about her pride at all?

Even Shiloh, who usually prided herself on her composure, felt a twinge of embarrassment from such a direct rejection. Logically, she understood Verus' actions, but she was just a young lady in her 20s, after all.

She couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Had it been one of the more possessive socialites in her social circle, they might have tried to lock him up in an aquarium and keep him there.

Shiloh made a mental note to remind Anton to teach Verus how to talk to humans properly.

Noticing she wasn't truly upset, Anton breathed a sigh of relief.

Shannon had been listening quietly. After some thought, she suddenly reached into her mystic chest and pulled out an emerald pendant.

"Though you've given the Zenyoistone away, Ms. Olsen, this emerald pendant might help. If ever needed, it can protect you or your family from three major calamities."

She considered it a gesture of goodwill.

Shiloh had spoken earlier about not hoarding too many blessings, but no one would turn down such expected gifts. Her eyes lit up as she asked, "How much? I'll buy it!"
