Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 607

Cecily could barely hide the trace of jealousy in her eyes.

Shannon was exactly the reason. If not for her, Benjamin wouldn't have revoked even that last bit of affection level.

Sensing her hostile gaze, Shannon turned and met Cecily's hateful stare. Unlike before when she would have ignored it, she shot back a sharp glare.

Cecily's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head.

Shannon paid no further attention to her when she saw her back down. She got up and walked over to Benjamin.

After hesitating briefly, she muttered, "Why are you here?"

Benjamin looked down slightly and noticed that she wasn't embarrassed or surprised. Instead, her expression was a mix of disapproval and conflict, but there was a hint of docility about her.

His gaze softened as he replied, "Hector said your family wants to see me."

Then, he added, "You were being questioned. I need to take responsibility."

Yes, responsibility. He had allowed it when they had been misunderstood as mystic partners.

He had promised to handle their dating rumors, and now that she was in trouble, it meant he hadn't handled them properly. It was only right for him to take responsibility.

If he hadn't been concerned about frightening the Jensens, he'd have introduced himself as her fiancé.

Shannon had no idea that Benjamin was contemplating calling himself her fiancé. She immediately accepted it when hearing him mention "responsibility". It seemed that he loved taking responsibility.

Although Hector was not eager for the family to accept Benjamin so quickly, he disliked how Marie treated Shannon even more.

He decided he couldn't stay out of it and watch as Shannon was being "hassled" by the family over her relationship. Fortunately, Benjamin came just after his text. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him off that easily.

Adam had the most conflicted feelings out of all the Jensens present. As the current head of the Jensen family, he had interacted with Benjamin quite a bit.

Benjamin was flawless in terms of his family background, appearance, and even abilities. Even Marie who had been the most dissatisfied was now silent.

Benjamin was prominently known in Seastone and even throughout the nation. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the leader among the younger generation of the upper crust. Even Hector had to admit that he was slightly inferior to Benjamin.

As someone from the older generation, Adam had always admired and respected Benjamin, but it was only when the latter was considered his junior.
