Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1028

"I can't tell you much about him because I barely know anything about him."

Shannon would never take that as an answer. "You said he was a friend of yours, but I suppose you'd never call someone you're unfamiliar with a friend."

Whether from her face or the impression she gave, Yvette was clearly a clear-headed, independent, career-oriented woman. Shannon had a hard time believing she would casually consider someone a friend.

Especially when she had dropped everything and made a special trip just to deliver a gift for him, which was far from the kind of friendship ordinary friends had.

"You're right. In that case, you should also realize by now that him entrusting me to send you the gift without showing up means he wants to keep his identity hidden from you."

Yvette paused briefly, smiled casually, and added, "At least, for now."

Shannon frowned at her words. She wouldn't give up just yet now that she had visited. Thus, she pivoted. "I won't ask you anything then. Instead, tell Mr. Wright that I'd like to meet him. Is that alright?"

Yvette remained unperturbed by her words. Rather, she idly leaned against the couch and decisively rejected her. "Nope."

She stared at Shannon with slightly raised brows, questioning, "Why must I help you? I'm a businesswoman; even your brother, Hector, addresses me with utmost courtesy whenever he sees me.

"Meanwhile, you haven't addressed me once since stepping into my office. What makes you think I'd fulfill your requests just because you asked?"

Her words rendered Shannon speechless. Even she, of all people, was momentarily speechless at Yvette's unconventional attitude.

After some contemplation, she confidently laid out her cards. "If you relay my message to him, I'll return you a favor—one that doesn't violate the rules of mystic arts."
