Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1822

After confirming the root cause, Shannon set up a meeting with Zeno and went to the agreed-upon location the next day.

She brought Lexie and Heston along since both of them were free. It was considered a Special Security Agency mission.

But just as they stepped outside, they ran into Benjamin, who'd just stepped out next door. He clearly knew about her meeting with Zeno.

He stepped forward and said, "I'll go with you."

Shannon looked at him and didn't answer immediately. She simply said, "You tagged along yesterday because it was a livestream for the variety show. Today, I have Lexie and Heston."

Her words implied Benjamin wasn't needed.

Lexie was utterly baffled. Had she made a mistake by coming along?

Benjamin acted like he didn't see Lexie and Heston. He locked his firm gaze on Shannon and seriously reminded her, "They're recording today, and I want to go." He'd overheard her talking to Hebrew.

Shannon felt a slight ripple in her heart, but her expression remained the same. "Suit yourself."

The four left the Demon District and got into a luxury van parked outside. After getting in, they drove straight to a private courtyard on the outskirts of town.

When they arrived, Zeno, Faye, and the production crew were already there.

Perhaps because she couldn't see Archie, Faye looked haggard but surely more clear-headed today. Shannon looked at her and asked, "How do you feel about Archie right now?"

Faye's eyelashes fluttered. There was a shame and conflicted flush on her face as she said, "I... miss him. I want to see him."

She knew the truth, and her rationality kept reminding her Zeno was the one she loved. Yet, her mind couldn't stop recalling Archie's face.
