Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1344

What kind of existence could be regarded as a cockroach? Perhaps it rustled and crawled within the shadows.

Despite knowing Jordan had lied about the student mass suicide case, Shannon inexplicably chose to believe his last words. She didn't think he had chosen those eight students at random.

Since he had been captured, she could now proceed to the next step. At that thought, she grabbed her stuff and prepared to leave without taking a bite of the food.

Hank looked at her, his facial muscles quivering. After a while, he gloomily asked, "Are you leaving just like that?"

Shannon glanced at him, then at the untouched food, and assumed he was mad that she was disrespecting his treat. After some thought, she picked up a fork and took a bite of the food.

Then, she earnestly said, "Thanks for the meal."

The corner of his lips tugged awkwardly. Seeing how she had placed her utensil down again, he immediately rose and blocked her way, questioning, "Is there nothing else you want to say to me? About how you never existed in another world?"

Even till then, Hank had a hard time accepting it. If Shannon never existed, how should one explain her existence before him? Also, how could she stay so calm? Was this a norm in mystic arts that he was unaware of?

Shannon couldn't understand why he was so agitated. After all, she was the unborn one, not him. Besides…

"That's a matter in the parallel world. Why should I care about it?" She continued, "Regardless of my existence in the other world, it doesn't affect who I am now, nor does it affect anyone in this world."

She… was right.

Still, he had only learned about the concept of rebirth and alternate world two days ago. Now, he was told a newly reunited family relative of his never existed in the other world.

He was confused, flustered, and eager to know more. Was that so wrong?
