Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1017

Alex decided to consider the money as buying Zane more life.

Though he hadn't valued Zane much, he'd never been stingy with money. Plus now that Zane possessed the so-called power of words, it seemed even more impressive than Shannon's abilities.

Alex decided to think of it as an investment in Zane.

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, George said in a serious tone, "Let's do as Shannon suggests. After today, everyone in the circle will know that Zane can talk. If outsiders try to force him to talk, you all must step in to stop them.

"As for his power of words, no one is allowed to reveal even a single word about it."

As he said so, his gaze landed on Alex, who felt his heart tighten and protested loudly, "Dad! He's my son! I'm least likely to spill the beans!"

George withdrew his gaze nonchalantly and continued, "I wasn't talking about you. I'm saying you must not tell Linda either."

Though Linda was Zane's biological mother, she'd never cared about him since he was a child. Now that she was no longer part of the Jensen family, she didn't deserve to know anything.

Alex had first sighed in relief, but he seemed to be in a dilemma after hearing Linda's name. He reluctantly muttered, "Understood."

Linda was abroad, and he hadn't been in much contact with her lately.

Zane had been listening quietly throughout the conversation and never interrupted their plans. These arrangements didn't seem to bother him.

When the crowd scattered away, Zane silently returned to his room.

Hank trailed behind him and watched his thin, frail figure with a complex look in his eyes. After a long pause, he turned and went straight to Shannon on the third floor.
