Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 656

The anti-malice talisman Shannon had given Adam had a special tracking function. She could immediately sense it once the talisman was activated.

While the next help-seeker was still being chosen, Shannon quietly stepped out of the camera's view and called Adam.

Although she trusted he could handle the situation, knowing that he was caught up in bad love luck and malice made her uneasy.

Adam quickly answered the call. Though he tried to maintain his composure, Shannon could sense that his tone was colder than usual.

"Dad, the anti-malice talisman I gave you has been activated. Did you run into any trouble?"

Adam instinctively touched the inner pocket. Knowing that Shannon's talisman had just saved him from a malicious scheme softened his icy features slightly.

"There's a small problem, but I can handle it. You don't need to worry; just focus on recording your program."

Though Adam downplayed it, Shannon's intuition told her it wasn't a small problem.

Ever since she'd returned to the Jensens, she'd noticed that the family had a much stronger fortune than an average person. It was thanks to years of accumulated good fortune.

As the current head of the Jensens, Adam's fortune was especially robust. It was nearly impossible for ordinary malice to affect him.

If someone had managed to target him and even trigger the talisman, this was no minor issue.

As the thought crossed Shannon's mind, she spoke firmly, "Where are you? I'll come find you."

As soon as she said so, Adam immediately responded with a sharp rejection, "No need!"

Shannon thought she detected a hint of urgency in his tone and maybe even panic.

As someone normally so composed, Adam sounding flustered raised Shannon's guard. It seemed like whatever was happening wasn't as minor as Adam claimed.

She trembled pitifully with her face pale with fear and shame.

Opposite her, another man sat on the couch brewing a storm cloud. The man was none other than Alex who'd flown in early that morning. He was worried about Linda's injuries.

Adam's gaze coldly swept over Linda. His eyes filled with disdain. He quickly turned away and refused to look at her any longer.

He focused on Alex, who was still sitting with a grim expression.

He spoke after a long silence in a cold and authoritative voice, "You decide what to do about what happened today."

If Alex hadn't been his brother, Adam would've had Linda quietly dealt with the moment the incident occurred.

Just thinking about what had happened made him nauseous. If Shannon had witnessed such a lowly display, it'd have sullied her ears.
