Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 926

Alex's words prompted Adam to cast him a harsh glare. "Shannon knows what she's doing. Just be her uncle. That's all you have to do."

Alex was baffled by his statement. "Bro, are you sure you didn't mistake our roles? I'm her elder, after all…"

Naturally, Shannon didn't bat an eye at Alex. She turned to Adam and explained, "The system is currently trapped inside the tortoise and will not pose a threat to anybody. However, I'll keep it with me for safety purposes."

Adam furrowed his brows. Instead of worrying whether the tortoise would threaten the family like Alex did, he worried more about whether the tortoise would harm her.

Before he could voice his concerns, Hector did it first. "Are you sure it's fine?"

Shannon nodded in response. Hector no longer opposed it and smiled, saying, "Alright, then. Whatever you say."

Adam was somewhat annoyed that Hector stole his line. He pulled a serious face and remarked, "As I said, we trust her. You should've believed in your sister's skills, Hector."

Unlike him, who had never doubted his daughter's abilities.

Hector was speechless, thinking, "Fine, Dad, whatever you say."

The family dispersed after the meeting adjourned. Shannon placed the tortoise into a mini suitcase that Thomas had provided, and after some consideration, she sought Hector for a favor.

Hector was surprised by her request. "You want me to investigate Clara?"

Once she stepped out, she was welcomed by the sight of Benjamin's car at her front door. Meanwhile, her family's chauffeur and car were nowhere to be seen. The window in the backseat rolled down, revealing Benjamin.

"Hop in. I'll drop you off," he said gently.

Without hesitation, Shannon entered the car. After settling in, she couldn't help but look at him. "How did you know I'm heading out?"

Benjamin glanced at her, his face devoid of any emotions. "I know more than that. You used your spiritual energy to seal the system, didn't you?"

She didn't need to guess to know Hector had told Benjamin about it. In fact, she even knew the reason why. "But I'm recovered!"
