Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2434

Perhaps because Shannon's words had struck too close to home, a flicker of hesitation crossed Vance and Laura's faces. It was clear something was holding them back.

Shannon wasn't in a rush to confront them. She simply turned away, raised her hand, and dismissed the mystic chains across the villa.

As soon as she did that, the swirling shadow of negative energy tried to flee.

"Bind," she muttered, soft but powerful.

In a flash, the mystic chains snapped back into existence—this time faster, sharper.

They whipped around the negative energy and crushed it inward, compressing it into a single talisman in her hand before anyone could react.

Her movements were so swift that not even the production crew or Caitlin had time to respond.

It wasn't until Kai, grinning from ear to ear, jogged over and scooped away the talisman that Caitlin finally snapped out of it.

She rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Shannon's feet, begging, "You can't hurt it! It didn't do anything wrong! You have to let it go!"

Seeing that, Kai reached out to pull her away from Shannon, only to receive a warning glare from her. Thus, he awkwardly pulled his hand back.

Shannon took the talisman and glanced down at Caitlin, explaining, "I'm only sealing it into the talisman for the time being. I have no intention of harming it. When the time comes, I'll let it out."

Caitlin was unconvinced. "Really?"

"Really," Shannon promised without hesitation.

The child's face immediately lit up, while the Callaghans weren't nearly as reassured. Panic flashed across their faces.

Whatever that entity was had been the root of all the chaos in their home! Letting it go felt like inviting disaster right back in!

"Hey, I just grabbed my bowl of popcorn! What do you mean we're going to bed?"

"No, don't sleep! Why do we need to sleep? We don't need that! We want our bedtime horror story!"

Indeed, Shannon had caught the spirit so fast that no one got a proper look at the whole exorcism scene.

Since the audience couldn't see the slow-motion, epic showdown, the least they could have was a full story before going to bed, no?

Unfortunately, the cold and ruthless Shannon wasn't having any of it.

She didn't mind working late, of course. The question of whether to tell the bedtime story wasn't up to her but the Callaghans.

Thus, she gave them a night to think it over. If they still held back any secrets, she would have no choice but to change the tactics and bring out some heavier measures.
