Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1728

Scott carried an air of danger, and his provocation would've been more blatant if he had pulled Benjamin's collar and confronted him.

Though shocked by his sudden outburst, Hector had no intention of stopping Scott.

Benjamin's footsteps halted as Scott had wished. He turned around and met Scott's eyes, emotionless and calm, as if innocently wanting to know why Scott had stopped him.

The moment their eyes locked, Scott felt his dominance crumble, though he swiftly maintained his stance. "W-Why were you giving us an attitude? What made you think you could do that to Shannon? Did you know she came to Jamborough for you?"

His question was unprovoked. Never mind Benjamin, not even Shannon could react in time.

Benjamin's brows furrowed slightly as he looked at Scott. Then, he corrected him with a low voice. "I did not give her an attitude."

What he did earlier was simply an act of compliance to what Hector had requested. How could that be considered giving them an attitude? On top of that, he had no reason to explain himself to them.

Having received a response, Scott quickly calmed down and pressed on. "You're not admitting it, huh? Kai had told all of us how you walked out on Shannon over a tiny matter last night! So, did you or did you not give her an attitude?"

It was because he had deduced who the Friend A and B in Kai's story were that he and Hector flew over first thing in the morning. Even without the full story, Scott was confident Shannon hadn't done anything wrong.

If that was the case, it had to be a minor matter. Therefore, walking out on her was completely Benjamin's fault!

While Scott felt justified in his indignation, Kai could almost feel his scales exploding. Just why would he have a sudden outburst and rat him out at the same time? Great—now everyone knew he was a tattler!

Benjamin shot Kai a glance, laced with dissatisfaction, while Shannon was dumbfounded to learn Scott was stressing over that issue.
