Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1015

Shannon showed no signs of backing down.

Her eyes were cold as she fixed her gaze on Alex and continued, "Plus, Zane helped me earlier."

Shannon's words showed her stance and reminded everyone present of what'd happened at the banquet.

Adam gave Zane a deep look and turned his sharp gaze to Alex. "Shannon's right. Zane's issues are a matter for the entire Jensen family. Step aside for now."

Noticing that Alex was about to argue, he added, "If you can't control your temper, I'll get Shannon to seal your mouth. That will no longer be a younger Jensen disrespecting an elder because she'll act on my orders."

Everyone understood that a younger member of the Jensen family acting against an elder would reflect poorly. But if it was an elder brother disciplining his younger sibling through his daughter, that was a different matter altogether.

Alex realized how serious Adam was and wouldn't like to be silenced by Shannon in front of the family, so he begrudgingly sat back on the couch.

When Alex was finally quiet, all eyes turned to Zane. Scott was the first to speak. "So, why has Zane been pretending to be mute all this time? And what's just happened? How did your saying shut up make Ziva stay quiet?"

Caleb's expression stiffened slightly at the mention of Ziva. He avoided looking at Shannon but leaned in and was eager to understand what was going on with Zane.

Hank was equally curious. "What's going on? Is it related to the childling's fate?"

The Jensens remembered that Zane's years of illness were due to his childling's fate. His hasty and immature use of the substitute childling to block the childling's calamity led to his unresolved fate.

Zane met their gazes and pursed his lips. He remained silent and looked toward Shannon instead to give her a nod.
