Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1089

Caleb looked at the familiar, run-down place and couldn't believe Shannon hadn't sold it. Weirdly, there was a middle-aged man inside.

"He's your startup project." Shannon pointed at Rhodes.

Seeing how clueless Caleb was with Rhodes, she remembered the former hadn't met the latter's human form. Thus, she instructed, "Return to your true form and introduce yourself."

Though unsure of what she had in mind, Rhodes followed her words. With a poof, the originally tall middle-aged man turned into a Fenris jerboa with big ears and a long tail. He looked at Caleb, flashing him a friendly grin.

The sudden appearance of the Fenris jerboa left Caleb in a trance. That… was the demon they found at Shannon's apartment the other day!

Caleb's facial muscles tensed up at the sight of his friendly yet jarring smile. The next second, he turned around and fled.

That was the creature that had made him believe he was experiencing pseudocyesis, plunging him into days of anxiety!

He had just run two steps away when his ankle was wrapped by the familiar fluffy tail. Instantly, he froze at the spot.

Rhode's gruff voice sounded upset. "Why are you running? Am I that scary?"

Caleb thought, "Duh! Try looking in the mirror!"

His heart shuddered, and he instinctively turned to Shannon for help. "You're not trying to sell me off, are you, Shannon?"

No way! This couldn't be reality! He was her cousin, for goodness' sake!

She glanced at him, ignoring his dubious and complicated gaze, and looked at Kai. "How's his progress with the laptop?"

Kai sipped on his takeout smoothie and pursed his lips. "Getting there. He knows what the power button does now."
