Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 161

Helen knew the kids might be unhappy to be treated so differently at such an event.

Normally, such blatant favoritism on such an occasion would be quite rude.

Although Shannon was the top scorer, the occasion was meant to celebrate all four children.

Hence, Helen explained warmly, "Please don't mind the different gifts. We prepared something special for Shannon to thank her for curing my daughter's illness."

Helen couldn't say that her daughter was a retard in front of all the guests. So, she referred to it as an illness.

"Shannon put in a lot of effort to help Emmie, but she refused to accept any payment. So, we took this opportunity to express our gratitude."

With just a few words, she rationalized her intention to give Shannon a limited-edition watch. Nobody could find fault with her.

Even the Jensens couldn't feel sad that the other kids were being unfairly treated.

Shannon was the one who mended the relationship between the Jensens and the Shaws.

She had waived Emily's treatment fee to prevent the Shaws from having any grievances toward the Jensens.

Neither Adam nor the Jensens knew about this beforehand.

It wasn't until Donald called Adam that they learned Shannon had used her one million dollar pocket money that she got from Adam as payment for her services. She had managed to maintain the goodwill between the two families.

As a result, Adam transferred another one million dollars to Shannon to compensate her and explain the whole story to the family.

Everyone then realized that it was thanks to Shannon that the Shaws continued their relationship with the Jensens, despite knowing that it was the Jensens' maid who had caused their daughter's condition.

Because of this, even Hank and Caleb, who usually looked down on Shannon, couldn't say a word against her. After all, the Jensens could still recognize right from wrong.

Now that Helen had clarified everything in front of everyone, Hank no longer felt unhappy.
