Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 918

When Shannon woke up the next day, she soon learned that the Internet was abuzz with speculation.

Though Internet users hadn't managed to dig out Benjamin's picture, they'd uncovered his identity. His status as the Cooper family's patriarch was enough to create a frenzy.

"Is this the legendary powerhouse alliance?"

"This is a marriage alliance! Shannon won't agree to it!"

"That's right! She's dedicated to talismanic art, and men will only slow her progress."

"Hmm… But this man sure looks good from behind."

"I'm taking this photo with me to every comment section."

The photo was of Benjamin carrying Shannon toward the light, captured by a cameraman. After some creative edits, the photo had such beautiful cinematic effects that anyone could mistake it for a scene from a hit drama.

Of course, the Jensens and close acquaintances were well aware of the trending hashtag. It was only now that they realized when Adam had boasted at the summit meeting about Benjamin being his future son-in-law, he hadn't been exaggerating.

Given the statuses of both families, the fact that the hashtag hadn't been taken down overnight seemed like a silent confirmation of the relationship.

Soon, Adam and George received words of congratulations from friends and business associates.

Meanwhile, Marie no longer welcomed Cecily or the Snowdens into the house after Shannon had exposed the fact that Cecily was responsible for her years of suffering.

The younger generation might take such gossip for fun, but for the older generation, such rumors hinted at broader implications.

A marriage alliance between the Jensens and Coopers could shift Seastone's financial and social power dynamics for years to come. Once the marriage was settled, they'd overshadow the other two major families in influence and control.

That was why even after years of being out of social circles, Marie still received calls about the matter.

She raised her eyebrows at hearing Audrey's question and appeared calm as if she'd anticipated this. "It's too early to talk about marriage alliances. The young ones are just dating, and we elders won't interfere in their affairs."

Audrey's voice on the other end sounded surprised. "So, the Jensens weren't matchmakers?"
