Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1683

Indeed, there was such an incident.

When Benjamin disappeared, most of the assets left by him as the head of the Cooper family were transferred to Shannon. However, as the Dragon Vein, he had accumulated wealth over the centuries, so it wasn't like he had to rely on her money.

Before he could write more, Shannon's message popped out. "If you insist on that, I'd assume you're asking me to return all the assets gifted to me."

He furrowed his brows. Of course, he didn't mean that. Why was she twisting his words?

She continued, "If you actually want them back, I'll gladly cooperate. I'd never covet your money."

He… genuinely hadn't thought about that.

Considering the previous Benjamin had gifted her all his assets, he would never ask them back even if he had awakened. What was given to her would remain hers.

"I didn't mean that." They were merely texts, yet his reply was laced with a hint of helplessness. "You shall oversee the whole thing."

Seeing that he had finally conceded, Shannon exited the chat with satisfaction. At that moment, Mike's message came in.

He abused the crying emoji before questioning her, "Why did you downvote my post, Shannon? I was being nice, trying to give you positive feedback on your post! Do you have something against me?

"Is it because you've started school at Zaprath that you no longer regard me as your loyal comrade? You've really hurt me!"

Shannon initially froze before swiftly returning to MysticForum. Then, she realized the post she had accidentally downvoted belonged to Mike.

A hint of guilt spread across her face as she quickly replied, "My finger slipped."

The leader of the team was Tobias Washington, whom Maeve had specifically found for his excellent reputation and craftsmanship in the field.

Tobias was sharp yet reliable; as long as the payment was fair, he would never drop the ball. True to his word, the neighboring house was fully renovated in two days.

After spending another day tidying up, the humble courtyard was completely transformed within just three days. The construction team packed up and left, leaving only Benjamin's arrival to complete the process.

What they thought was a casual encounter turned out to be far from it. In the early hours of the morning, Tobias staggered out of his car.

Ignoring Shannon's earlier rule about not staying out after dark, he charged into the Demon District recklessly, as though being pursued by a ghost, his movements hurried and frantic.

As his foot stepped into the boundaries of the Demon District, all the demons, who had been peacefully sleeping, simultaneously opened their eyes in the darkness.
