Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1278

Shannon didn't state her assumptions outright as she wasn't entirely sure yet. She needed to confront the other party before concluding.

"First, take me to your place, and we'll have a look," she said, rising to her feet.

However, Vincent was taken aback. "Just like that?"

"What do you suggest, then?" She looked at him with a confused expression.

He seemed somewhat sheepish. "What I mean is, if we're going to my place now, we should probably put on a disguise."

As ex-colleagues, it wouldn't be a big deal if they were seen having a meal together. However, they might get photographed if they returned to his place, considering the paparazzi around him were endless.

Seeing how Shannon stared at him, he didn't want her to misunderstand and quickly explained, "It's not that I mind being seen together. I'm single; I don't care about that. But… Don't you have a fiancé?

"I wouldn't want the gossip news outlet to be writing nonsense and cause misunderstandings between you and Mr. Cooper."

Vincent's concern was well-justified. In the entertainment industry, anything could easily be blown out of proportion if someone wanted to, let alone them heading to his place.

Shannon was considered an Internet sensation, thanks to her appearance in Sixth Sense. However, she wasn't considered a celebrity, and he didn't want to drag her into that mess.

She naturally understood his good intentions but said, "I don't like sneaking around. If we're photographed in a disguise, it'll only make us look guiltier."

After a pause, she continued, "But you're still right."

After all, she and Benjamin were now officially engaged, not just a fake couple on the surface, but truly "married" in a sense. She had to consider his thoughts and feelings.

So, after some pondering, she took out her phone and sent a message.
