Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1942

Luke called in Cornelius and Kai's "parents" under the charge of disturbing the ecological stability of Jamborough.

Since they were both orphans, he naturally called in their guardians instead. As a result, Benjamin, Shannon, and Thalia were all summoned.

Kai was admitted to the demonic school through Shannon's endorsement, and since he lived in a small courtyard with Benjamin, both of them shared the responsibilities of guardianship, so there was no surprise in being called over.

However, Thalia pointed at Cornelius, saying, "I don't know this brat. Are you sure you called the right person?"

At most, she would only be considered the guardian to Kai's guardian.

Luke looked at her with a somewhat subtle gaze and replied, "I'm not mistaken. His guardian is Reuben Wynthorpe."

However, Reuben wasn't in Jamborough at the moment, so his "family" had to stand in for him.

Luke's explanation seemed reasonable, but there was something off about it.

Thalia thought that her relationship with Reuben wasn't close enough for her to handle the affairs of his ward. Moreover…

If Reuben wasn't seeing someone, how would he end up taking care of someone else's kid?

Her gaze toward Cornelius became more probing.

Thalia didn't know him, but Cornelius, on the other hand, recognized her. When she stared at him, he kept his face rigid and coldly turned his head away.

She ignored his reaction. After listening to Luke's recount of the earlier incident, she couldn't contain her surprise. "He's a dragon, too?"

Compared to Thalia's astonishment, the others present, including Benjamin, were calm, clearly already aware of Cornelius' identity.

Luke even added, as if to be considerate. "To be precise, he's a descendant of the dragon clan and a human. Just like you, he's also a half-demon."

What an unnecessary explanation.

Cornelius' expression turned colder at her look of disbelief, and a touch of hostility seeped into his gaze.

He retorted sharply, "How well do you truly know Mr. Wright? You claim to be his sister, but you don't seem to resemble him at all."

As soon as his words left his mouth, he felt a familiar presence behind him, carrying an air of restrained coldness. A voice called out, "Cornelius."

Everyone turned their heads, only to see that Reuben had somehow arrived without anyone noticing. They instinctively looked at Luke, their eyes clearly asking, "Didn't you say he was out of town?"

Luke, caught in the act, remained perfectly calm.

"Well, yes, I deliberately kept it from you all," he thought.

The truth was that Luke had known about Cornelius' existence the moment this half-demon dragon abandoned by his kin had appeared in Jambororough.
