Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1057

Janel continued, "But don't worry. Its effect is remarkable though it's just half a pill. Look at me. I'm already pregnant."

As if worried that Shannon would be concerned about the effects of the pill, she gestured to herself as living proof.

But Shannon wasn't bothered. She asked, "Where's the pill? I'll buy it."

Janel was surprised to hear that she was so decisive. She took in the refined quality of their clothing, and her eyes gleamed with glee. Then, she announced, "30 thousand dollars, and it's yours!"

Benjamin found the price reasonable and reached for his phone to transfer the money. But just as he moved, Shannon pressed down on his arm.

She had an expressionless look on her face as she stared at Janel. "300 dollars."

Janel shot to her feet. Her voice rose in protest. "Who taught you to bargain like that? 300 is impossible!"

Shannon remained calm. "If you won't sell it to me, I have other ways to track him down. It'll just take more effort. My final offer is 300 dollars."

"No way! At least ten thousand dollars!"

"200. Take it or leave it."

"200!" Janel had almost erupted in rage. She blurted out without a second thought, "I paid 500 dollars for a pill. 200 isn't enough to cover my costs!"

Shannon calmly replied, "Then make it 250."

Janel gritted her teeth and cursed herself for revealing the price of the pill. Then, she relented, "300. Take it or leave it."

Shannon smiled and pulled out her phone. "Deal. Venmo."

Janel muttered curses under her breath and stomped off to retrieve the pill.

At first, Janel was skeptical. But noticing Shannon's serious expression, she paused and said, "Even so, I'm not giving up this child."

The baby was her hope.

Shannon had overheard her earlier conversation with Bradley. Now that she was looking at Janel's determined face, she suddenly understood why the latter was so desperate to latch onto him.

After a moment of thought, she said, "Give me 300 dollars, and I'll read your divination."

Janel instinctively recoiled. Clutching her phone, she took two steps back and gave Shannon a look of deep suspicion.

"You're not just trying to take back the 300 dollars you've paid, are you? Was this whole story just a scam to get my money?"

Shannon was utterly speechless. "Forget it. Believe it or not," she muttered.
