Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 913

Shannon was unaware of everything that was happening.

Once Benjamin brought her into the car, she leaned back and finally allowed herself to relax. She closed her eyes and absorbed the refined spiritual energy from Benjamin.

Not far away, Ziva watched coldly as Shannon's car drove off. Her earlier joy at seeing Shannon vanished and was replaced by bitter anger.

She turned and looked at Cecily. Her voice was hoarse with anger. "Where's the system you promised?"

Cecily flinched at her tone and shrank back before mumbling, "I did sense it moving toward us, but it wouldn't respond to me. Then, it disappeared."

She clenched her teeth in frustration. "I think… It might've bonded with one of the players on-site."

As the system's former host, Cecily could maintain a faint connection with it that allowed her to detect its location.

But the sudden emptiness she now felt could only mean that the system had found a new host and severed any last tie to her.

Reality struck Cecily that she'd truly been abandoned by the system. Though it'd left her, she'd always believed it would return, and that was her key to reclaiming her former life.

But now, she had nothing, and she blamed it all on Shannon. Shannon… That bitch!

Cecily vowed to never let it slide.

As she was mulling over her hateful thoughts, she was cut short by a sharp slap across her face. She looked up, stunned to see Ziva's cold expression.

Julian had received news of their arrival as soon as the car entered the estate. As he approached in large steps, he was puzzled about when Benjamin had left the house and why he'd brought Shannon back with him.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Benjamin say. "Get a room ready. She'll be staying over tonight."

Julian stumbled briefly at his words and caught himself in time with a professional demeanor. He responded with the most composed smile he could muster, "Of course. I'll get it done right away."

He turned away and could barely contain the excitement and disbelief on his face. He was going to spread the word that Benjamin had arranged for Shannon to stay the night!

It was so sudden that he had zero preparation! Where were his candles, bottles of champagne, and rose petals? Hurry up!
