Hank was aware of how unreasonable they'd been, but back then, they had just found her annoying.
Even now, he still felt the same way.
Hank shook his head to clear his thoughts. He refocused on the reason he had snuck into Shannon's room.
As he walked closer, he noticed that her workspace was a stark contrast to the rest of the room's decor.
The large L-shaped wooden desk was cluttered with all sorts of tools and materials. One side of the desk was used to draw talismans, and the other was filled with emerald carving equipment.
He opened a wooden box on the desk and saw several uncarved raw stones.
Hank had a hobby of collecting emerald pendants and was quite familiar with raw stones. A casual glance at these raw stones told him they could easily go up to several million dollars.
"Isn't she supposed to be poor?" he muttered under his breath.
He didn't touch the stones and reached for a drawer beneath the desk. When he pulled it open, he was greeted by a refreshing burst of air.
Hank's pupils constricted at seeing the carved emerald in the drawer. Some of them were unfinished and others were fully completed small animal carvings.
Each of them bore Rosalie's distinctive lettering and style. Well to be exact, they were Rosalie's work.
Hank's face turned sour.
Now it all made sense why Shannon had refused to help him get in touch with Rosalie, it turned out that she was Rosalie. That was her alias all along.
He remembered how he had addressed Rosalie with such respect, and she hadn't bothered to correct him. She must have been laughing behind his back.
Then, he was reminded of how he had gone out of her way to please her and bought her breakfast. Hank seethed with anger at the thought.
Just as he was about to slam the drawer in rage, he caught sight of the carved emerald inside.
While he was halfway through his words, his eyes fell on the tablet on Scott's lap. His pupils instantly constricted once more.
Since the cast members were on break and Carlos didn't want to shut down the livestream, Sixth Sense cut to the livestream of the mystic school.
The camera now showed the mystic school that was misted over after the rain, creating an ethereal atmosphere.
Scott's eyes caught sight of something in the corner of the screen. It was a stone dragon-turtle sculpture.
He widened his eyes in disbelief and reached out again to catch the tablet. When he looked closely at the sculpture on the screen, his eyes filled with shock.
How could it be?
The details and patterns of the stone dragon-turtle sculpture were exactly the same as in the original sketch he had handed over to Shannon!
