Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 4

The Jensen residence was located at Silver Bay Estate, which was in the city center of Seastone City. It was the most prestigious neighborhood in the city.

It was in an area where every inch of space cost a fortune, yet 80% of the neighborhood consisted of greenery. Aside from a manmade lake, there was also a spacious park and fountain.

The security guards there were retired special troops, and one had to verify one's assets before being able to purchase property there. It was a necessity because only the cream of the upper crust's crop could reside there.

Shannon had heard of it—it was Francis' dream to own a place there because it would mean becoming neighbors with the people at the top of Seastone City's social pyramid. It would also mean he'd joined their ranks.

The Maybach entourage entered the neighborhood without any difficulty and stopped before a four-story manor after driving past an expanse of grass. Hector and Shannon got out, but Benjamin remained seated.

It wouldn't be appropriate for him to disturb the Jensens when they were having a family reunion, no matter how well he and Hector got along. It was basic manners.

Hector waved. Shannon watched as the Maybach entourage headed toward a villa that was located deeper within the neighborhood.

"The Cooper residence is up ahead. I'll bring you over there one day to formally introduce you," Hector said. Then, he led Shannon into the manor.

It was designed in a classic style and had a sense of lavishness to it. After walking past the garden and the foyer, they arrived at the living room. There, Shannon saw the Jensens seated there. On their way there, Hector had already given her a simple introduction of the family.

As she'd guessed, the Jensen family was indeed one of Seastone City's four most prestigious families. The patriarch, George Jensen, had given birth to four children—three sons and a daughter. They each had their own families.

George had already stepped down from the front lines due to health reasons, so Jensen Corporation had been passed down to Adam Jensen, the oldest son.

The second son, Alex Jensen, had been a popular singer back in the day. Later, he'd established his own entertainment company and was now one of the bigwigs in the industry.

The third son, Adrian Jensen, was Jensen Corporation's vice president. He was in charge of several of the company's essential industries.

The only daughter, Annalise Jensen, was a career woman. She'd established her very own globally renowned fashion brand and was influential in the fashion industry.

The grandchildren were mostly males, except for Alex's youngest daughter. There was also Cecily Snowden, who was a relative from George's wife, Marie Snowden's side of the family.

Shannon looked at them and realized that almost everyone in the family was present. Upon her entrance, everyone looked up at her. Their gazes were a mixture of speculation, curiosity, scorn… There were even some that were somewhat displeased.

"Grandpa," Hector said, looking perfectly at ease. He stepped forward as he greeted an old man seated on the center of a couch. At the same time, he said, "This is Shannon."

He then turned to Shannon and said, "Shannon, greet Grandpa."

She looked at George, who was smiling at her. She wasn't too good at physiognomy, but she could tell from his strong features that he was the assertive type despite his smile. In other words, he was someone who was used to issuing commands.

"Grandpa." She greeted him.

He nodded and said warmly, "It's good that you're finally back. From now on, you'll be a daughter of the Jensen family. No one will be able to push you around."

Hector turned to Adam, who sat beside George. "This is our dad."

Shannon followed his line of sight. Compared to the warmth George had displayed, Adam gave off an icy, stoic vibe. His features looked particularly frosty from the side, but it was easy to tell that he'd been a looker when he was younger.
