Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 206

Even if Shannon had just helped the police capture a serial murderer like Soren, Calvin felt like it would be too rash to take her word for it. Was he really going to spend so much time and effort drilling his way through a mansion's foundation just because she said the corpse was where it was?

Moreover, it would be impossible to occupy the mansion once the foundation was damaged. Would the owner agree with that?

Perhaps seeing through Calvin's hesitation, Fred urged, "There has to be a corpse underneath the mansion if Ms. Jensen says there is. Hurry up and get someone to start work, officer!"

Calvin was lost for words. Why did Fred sound so respectful when addressing Shannon? Was there something wrong with him?

He didn't believe in anything related to mystic arts, but something within him told him to trust Shannon. Perhaps this was related to a clue she'd discovered earlier.

As he hesitated, Vincent suddenly said, "Get your men on the job, officer. If there isn't a corpse beneath our feet, I'll cover the expenses for all the damages caused."

He wasn't saying that because he had too much money at his disposal—he just wanted to confirm whether Shannon was truly capable of things that ordinary people weren't.

At Vincent's words, Fred said he could speak to the mansion's owner and ask for permission. The latter already knew something was wrong with the mansion when filming commenced. Now that he heard there was possibly a corpse beneath the mansion, he allowed them to dig it up without hesitation.

If that corpse remained buried there, the mansion's value would only diminish under his name.
