Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1730

"I'm a mystic master, and I believe in destiny."

"Benjamin, if we set this red mark aside, would you be willing to bond with me on an official note?"

The words Shannon once said to Benjamin echoed in his mind, and her confession to him played in his ears. It was a confession he had never heard from her before.

An unfamiliar yet fluttering emotion stirred deep within his heart, pulling at the golden light surrounding him as if attempting to resonate with him.

The Soul of the Dragon Vein had truly left him with a dilemma.

He stood beneath the maple tree for a long while before lifting his foot and turning his heels toward the house.

As soon as he did, Scott's resonant young voice pierced through the air. "That's all we need to know, Shannon! If you still like him, the whole family will support you!"

He then pulled Kai over and continued, "We dissected everything on the way here. He's giving you a cold shoulder now because he doesn't know how he feels.

"That's how it's always been on TV. You can't just look after him at all times; you have to make him feel threatened!"

Shannon replied, "He is threatened; Ghost Mist is after him."

Her answer was proof to Scott that she needed backup on this matter. "Not that kind of threat! Of course, true feelings are revealed in times of hardship, but the kind of threat I'm talking about is one that makes him… jealous!"

He questioned, "Do you know any outstanding demons? You could try showing your interest in him subtly in front of Benjamin. When necessary, ask other demons out!"

Standing outside the house, Benjamin listened to Scott's brilliant plan with an expression devoid of emotions.

By chance, she had caught a glimpse of them without meaning to.

Her brows lifted slightly as she mused, "How can this possibly not be progress?"

…

Shannon thought Hector and the others would leave after checking in with her. To her surprise, Scott wanted to go through the "full package" with her and applied for a three-day leave of absence from school, insisting on helping her.

Considering that Scott's plan might lead to surprising results, Hector agreed to let him help. In that case, he would extend his stay as well.

After learning about their decision, Shannon didn't try to persuade them otherwise. She simply turned to Hank.
