Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 341

Under ordinary circumstances, Cecily wouldn't have approached Hank with such a request.

However, when she saw Hank trailing behind Shannon, she was suddenly reminded of Scott's current state.

She was worried that Hank would start behaving like Scott and follow Shannon everywhere, so she disregarded the system's rules and sent him a message, asking him to come back.

She couldn't believe it when Hank turned her down! And he did it because of Shannon!

Cecily was baffled. Everything had been going well before, but now they were all acting strange. What went wrong?

…

Hank was oblivious to the fact that his message had infuriated Cecily. As he watched the landscape blur past the window, he frowned and asked, "Are we heading to the suburbs?"

He was about to ask Shannon why Benjamin had invited her to the suburbs, but when he glanced back, he noticed that Shannon had her eyes closed as if she were resting.

Even in the dim light, Hank could see the faint dark circles under Shannon's eyes. Even though it wasn't very noticeable because of her youth, he could tell that she hadn't had much sleep the night before.

Did she not sleep well because of the variety show? It made sense since the beds outside weren't as comfortable as the ones at home. Moreover, she had to share the room with two other people. How stingy of the production crew!

She actually brought it upon herself since she insisted on participating in the variety show and wanted to become a celebrity.

Despite his contempt, he chose to remain silent.

They traveled in silence until they reached a suburban development site.

Hank had heard from Adrian a while back that the government intended to develop a new area, and recently, several companies had been vying for the project.

Upon seeing Hank trailing behind Shannon, Benjamin slightly raised his brow, his gaze clearly showing a questioning hint.

Shannon couldn't quite make out his expression through the golden light. However, when she noticed him staring at Hank, she casually explained the situation to Benjamin. After that, she asked, "What exactly is this supernatural problem you mentioned? And where exactly is it?"

Benjamin usually wouldn't be fond of the environment in an abandoned temple. However, the fact that he had taken refuge here and hadn't left suggested he was definitely being affected by something. It was unclear what that "something" was.

As Shannon pondered the situation, she noticed Benjamin motioning toward something with a look of resignation.

Shannon looked where Benjamin was pointing and saw a thin figure hiding behind a nearby Sophora tree, with only its head poking out and its eyes fixed on Benjamin.

Benjamin explained, "I came over because there were issues with the development project. On my way here, I ran into that kid. He stopped me and asked whether the thing that had just flown through the clouds was a snake or a dragon."
