Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 391

When Carlos spoke, he glanced at Shannon surreptitiously. After all, Kai was her junior and fellow mystic arts practitioner, so if James decided to sue for assault, she needed to be prepared.

Shannon understood the meaning behind Carlos' look. She was about to message Hector for help when a message from Benjamin arrived first.

He wrote: "I'll have my lawyer handle the case regarding Kai's assault."

Clearly, Benjamin had seen what Kai did on "Sixth Sense". This meant he had been following the events closely. Benjamin guessed that Kai appeared on Shannon's livestream likely because of himself. Now that Kai had hit someone, he couldn't leave Shannon to handle the matter alone.

Although he didn't consider Kai his responsibility, he believed he shouldn't be Shannon's responsibility either.

Shannon was surprised by Benjamin's message, mainly because she hadn't expected him to pay so much attention to a variety show. From his quick response, she gathered that he must have been watching the livestream all along. The thought of Benjamin leaving his work aside and watching the show intently made Shannon chuckle.

Meanwhile, due to the sudden interruption of the livestream, viewers flocked to Twitter. In no time, the hashtag "#James gets punched on Sixth Sense" soared to the second spot on the trending topic after the previous topic also concerning James.

While some of James' fans were heartbroken and angrily accused Kai of unprovoked violence, most people felt that James deserved the punch. They speculated that James' fall from grace would only come later after online discussions had simmered a bit. However, it happened almost immediately. This was the quickest retribution the netizens had ever witnessed.

Huxton hadn't posted anything after his long Twitter post. But when the video of James getting punched became viral, he clicked on the like button discreetly.

Her words made him feel like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over his head. It quelled and froze his enthusiasm in an instant. He stared at Shannon, wide-eyed with disbelief.

"You're so mean!" he exclaimed. That was the most cruel curse he had ever heard throughout his life as a wyrm.

Meanwhile, in a nearby neighborhood in Rookmouth, the closest city to Northrock Village, a young woman who was around 18 or 19 years old was reading through various online comments about Shannon.

From outside her room, the desperate and hopeless cries of a woman could be faintly heard. The young woman hesitated for some time before finally opening Shannon's Twitter profile and sending her a private message.
