Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 53

Although the contrast might be obvious for now, it would gradually diminish as time passed until Emily grew to become a full adult.

When the Shaw family heard that, they finally came to a realization.

Shannon was right.

Emily had been in a childlike state for the past eight years. Even if she recovered now, it was impossible for her to become a 16-year-old girl instantly.

If she really could, they should suspect that someone had swapped Emily's spirit with someone else's.

Helen was relieved. She teared up as she looked into Emily's eyes, which were still full of innocence.

"Alright. Her childhood is going to last longer than that of her peers. She's our little princess, after all. She doesn't have to grow up so quickly."

Now that the Shaws had accepted reality, Shannon pulled out an emerald pendant from her backpack. She put it on around Emily's neck.

"This is an emerald pendant that I made myself. It would wield off any evil spells and protect her."

After all, Emily had been getting targeted by others because she had an excellent astrological house.

Donald noticed that the emerald pendant had superb quality. It was much better than the broken one previously. He then transferred five million dollars to her account.

It was considered her payment this time.

To his surprise, Shannon immediately returned the money to him.

"Someone has paid me for this."

Donald was taken aback.

Shannon then showed him a transaction record, stating that she had received ten million dollars.

Donald was wondering who would be so generous as to pay for them in advance when he saw the transfer note. It was from Adam.

He became speechless.

Shannon raised her brow. "Misunderstanding?"

When she finally spoke, Bradley quickly replied, "Yeah, Rachel must have told you that we're dating now, right? But that's not the truth. You managed to find your birth family after that car accident, but Rachel lied to me about it.

"She said your family was just a group of poor hillbillies. I was worried your future would be ruined after you got sent away, so I begged her to ask Mr. Gray to keep you in the Gray family.

"As a condition, I agreed to be her boyfriend…"

Shannon's brow shot up even higher.

"So you're saying that it's all for my sake?"

Bradley looked at her with a bitter smile. "Perhaps this is how cruel our fate is. Do you know, Shannon? You're actually the one that I've always had feelings for. It's always you.

"I know that you have feelings for me, too."

Originally, Shannon wanted to see what sort of act Bradley was going to put up by waiting for her here. Hearing that, she couldn't help but cut him off, "Bradley Johnson, who told you that I have feelings for you?"
