Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 822

Ziva's unexpected words stunned Caleb.

His first reaction was disbelief. Was she joking? He'd just stood up for her, only for her to turn around and suggest he apologize to Shannon. There was no way he'd apologize. He…

Caleb was briefly stunned. A strange sense hit him, and he thought maybe he had done something wrong.

Now that he recalled it, he realized Shannon's tone hadn't carried any hint of mockery. Maybe he might have been too sensitive, and perhaps he should apologize.

"You're right…" Caleb murmured in a dazed tone as if realizing something. Then, he turned stiffly toward Shannon and said, "I'm sorry."

His apology left Hank stunned. Since when had the prideful Caleb ever apologized? Even when he had to accept the truth about Cecily after his multiple clashes with Shannon, he had refused to apologize.

When Shannon had freed him from the doll, he had given up some of the Jensen Corporation shares just to avoid admitting fault.

But now, he was apologizing to Shannon with just a word from Ziva. Hank figured that Ziva must have put a spell on Caleb.

Hank had spent his time in university just like Shannon, and this was his first time meeting Ziva, but he'd heard rumors about her hideous appearance from Scott.

Again, it was another mysterious case like the energy from the Malignant System.

Plus, Ziva's behavior was puzzling. It wasn't about protecting Shannon, her idol. It seemed like she was trying to display her powers in front of Shannon, a mystic master.

She was confident that Shannon wouldn't detect her tricks.

Ha! Shannon smelled a challenge.
