Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 429

Shannon ignored Eva's words and removed the diamond crown and veil. Seeing that, Eva stomped her feet in exasperation. "Didn't I say not to take them off? Marshmallow likes them!"

Shannon simply glanced at her once and passed her the crown and veil. "I heard these are your gifts from your fifth birthday. Keep them safe and don't let it wear them again. Otherwise, they'll get damaged."

By then, she would cry and throw tantrums, telling her to compensate for them. Shannon would rather save herself from paying five million dollars for a diamond crown. It was simply too expensive.

Having had her request rejected, Eva became impatient again. "It won't break them! Even if it did, it's none of your business!"

Shannon raised her brows. "I don't have to pay you back, then?"

Although Eva was young, she was surrounded by friends who had never experienced the struggle of money. As such, she found Shannon stingy. "Aren't you Uncle Adam's daughter? It's not like you're poor. Why are you acting so stingy?"

At that, Shannon gave up on reasoning with a child. She said, "I am me; my dad is my dad."

Frustrated by the continuous bickering, Eva stomped her feet again and shoved the crown back to Shannon. "You're so annoying! Fine, I won't make you compensate for it. Now, quickly put it on!"

Shannon gazed at her perplexedly, recalling how opposed she was when she first brought Marshmallow home. Since when had Marshmallow become so precious to her?

Amid her daze, she saw Eva urging her to put on the crown on Marshmallow.

Out of nowhere, Marshmallow gazed at Eva with an elegant turn. It gently wrapped its beautiful, fluffy tail around Eva's arm, as if rewarding her for being so considerate. Eva, ignoring Shannon's presence, happily reached out to pet its fluffy tail.

It was then Shannon understood something…

Marshmallow was a fox after all, and being one meant it was innately charming and bewitching. It didn't matter if her family was opposed to her initially because Marshmallow could easily win everyone's hearts with her charm.

Emily had always been close with Shannon, but since seeing the latter's video online, she had become eager to visit her.

The Gibson family, on the other hand, was intent on expressing their gratitude to Shannon. After hearing about that, Reese similarly insisted on tagging along.

She wanted to see Shannon perform the lightning trick again. It was freaking awesome.

At that moment, Shannon was surrounded by two adorable girls, each addressing her with the sweetest tone.

When Eva brought Marshmallow to the living room, she witnessed that scene. On top of that, she saw Shannon treat the other girls differently compared to how she interacted with her, as evident from her gestures of stroking their heads.

Instantly, that action flipped a switch within Eva. Without a second thought, she dashed over, squeezing between the three of them. With her little arms spread wide, she shielded Shanoon, and with a fierce and anxious tone, said, "She's not yours! She's mine!"
