Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 629

Shannon couldn't help but wonder why Cecily needed to practice fortune transfers so frequently.

Last time, when she suspected something strange with Cecily's dolls, she secretly stamped a truth talisman on her. Yet, the talisman seemingly lost its charm and gave no response.

The situation felt similar yet different from Kiley's. At least in her case, Shannon could vividly feel her resistance. When the truth talisman was used on Cecily, it seemed to lose its spiritual energy no matter how much she enhanced the talisman seal.

When a talisman lost its effectiveness, it would indicate one of two possibilities. First, the person possessed a magical item that nullified mystic arts. Second, the person was under the protection of a divine deity.

Shannon prayed that it wasn't the latter, which sounded troublesome. Whether it was the conclusion drawn from Lucy's fan-made doll incident or this case, she felt something unsettling about both situations.

…

Sensing Shannon's silence, Leah finally piped up. "Shannon, are you coming home to handle this?"

After some thought, Shannon answered decisively, "Nope."

She would've answered differently if the target was Adam, Hector, or George. She would even apply for a leave of absence instantly. Since the victim was Linda, she decided to sit back and observe the unfolding event for the time being.

Her answer rendered Leah somewhat disappointed. "Aren't you worried about your aunt?"

Initially, she came to the mystic school to look for Thalia. But after asking around, she hadn't found a clue about her at all; at least that was the information she'd gotten among the newcomers.

She began to doubt whether she was in the right direction.

Tossing that thought to the back of her mind, Shannon continued practicing the multi-person array with Lexie and Mike. She had just stepped forward when she heard an old voice echoing out of nowhere, whispering, "Wynthorpe…"

Shannon froze and quickly halted her steps.
