Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1048

Instantly, Marshmallow leaped off from Shannon's embrace. Its chubby tail fluffed up, and it crouched low, taking on a ready-to-attack posture as it faced the door.

The four brothers were stunned on the side. No one questioned the credibility of Shannon's words, and Hank instinctively shielded Zane.

Scott, on the other hand, fished out his pink utility knife and edged closer to Shannon.

Caleb initially took a step back, but seeing the reactions of his two younger cousins, he froze for a moment and then stepped forward again.

He reached out, attempting to pull Scott behind him, to which the latter said annoyingly, "Stop pulling me, Cal. Get to the back."

Scott's displeased tone upset Caleb. "You get to the back!"

Had he forgotten how old he was? Why would they need him, the youngest, to stand at the frontline?

At that thought, Caleb's heart shuddered. He seemed to have forgotten something again.

Whenever anything happened, the person who stood at the forefront, protecting everyone, was only 18 years old. She was the second youngest among them.

Guilty, he was about to say something when Shannon piped up. "All of you, stay outside."

With that, she ignored them and unlocked the door with a passcode before disappearing into the apartment.

Meanwhile, Marshmallow darted inside after her. Scott, too, followed without hesitation, explaining, "I have an emerald pendant. I can go with her."

Hank and Zane locked eyes. "So do we," they thought, before heading into the unit as well.

Caleb was at a loss for words. He didn't have anything.
