Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1848

Lexie blinked innocently at the man, thinking, "Duh, do you see someone else here?"

However, a sweet smile graced her doll face, yet it seemed eerie under the lamppost. "How did you know I wasn't alone?"

The foreign man fell silent.

Although her reaction wasn't what he had expected, he paused for a moment and couldn't help but smile. He tugged at his magic robe and, with a hint of playfulness, responded, "Maybe I wasn't, too."

After Mike and Heston returned from buying ice cream, they found that Lexie was no longer in the small square where she had been.

"I told her not to run off! I even bought her one!" Mike said, holding an ice cream cone in each hand. He turned to Heston and asked, "Heston, quick, see where she went!"

Just as the words left his mouth, he saw Heston, holding an ice cream cone, suddenly vanish from sight.

His eyes widened in surprise. Realizing what had happened, he quickly glanced around, worried that someone might notice Heston disappearing into thin air.

He hadn't meant for Heston to teleport directly over there!

Mike muttered to himself, reluctantly holding both ice cream cones and weaving through the crowd in search of the two.

Away from the bustling crowd in the square, Lexie followed the foreign man as he led her to a spot behind an ancient wall, out of sight of the surveillance cameras.

This area seemed to be an employee-only passage, but there was no one around at the moment.

Lexie watched as the man walking in front of her suddenly stopped.
