Hector couldn't help but feel worried about Shannon. Although she seemed independent, she was too naive in relationships and failed to see through men's tricks!
Nevertheless, it was his duty as a brother to drive away all those scumbags for her. Hence, he decided to flip Benjamin's study inside out and retrieve everything that belonged to his sister later!
Shannon naturally was unaware of his plan. After ending the video call, she thought for a bit and eventually used an express delivery service to pick up the black-haired doll from Kai. It was important for her to investigate this.
After making the order, she tapped open her chat list. Between Kai and Benjamin, she chose the former to inform about the pick-up. Before she could do so, though, Benjamin's message popped up on her screen.
"Kai told me about the incident at the Jensen residence. I'll make sure he watches over them during this period. You don't have to worry about it."
Shannon's first reaction to his message was feeling warmed by his gesture. Immediately, she discarded her message for Kai and focused on replying to Benjamin.
"Thank you. By the way, Hector will drop by later to collect the array talisman I placed in your study. They'll feel safer with those talismans in their rooms."
After sending it, she felt somewhat inconsiderate toward Benjamin and added, "I've set some arrays in your villa too. Those are more effective than the array talisman. You can rest assured."
Benjamin read the incoming messages, and although those were mere texts without any emojis, he could imagine Shannon's dainty yet serious face saying those words.
Alson regained his composure and quickly apologized, secretly complaining, "Oh, Mr. Cooper. Weren't you just texting? How did you have time to notice my itty-bitty mistake?"
The atmosphere in the conference room continued to be tense as usual, while Shannon exited the chatbox with Benjamin and finally understood why Scott didn't reach out to her—she blocked him.
At that thought, she quickly expanded Scott's profile and removed him from her block list. Before she could contact him, Carlos sent her a photo.
The photo quickly captured Shannon's attention, once again throwing Scott to the back of her mind. It was reasonable, though, because the photo Carlos sent was surprisingly another customized black-haired doll.
