Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 51

Smiling, Hector watched as Shannon left. Only then did he turn back to his cousins. His smile grew warmer. "Hang in there. You have to do at least a hundred push-ups today. If you can't keep up halfway, all of you will have to start from zero."

Their faces instantly fell. They yelled, "Hector, we've learned our mistakes."

"I haven't troubled Shannon for the past two days. We've been good!"

"Hector, you can't favor Shannon over us. We're your cousins, too."

Hector didn't appear to be affected by their words. He still had a noble and graceful smile on his face. "Okay. I'll only consider you guys as my cousins if you finish a hundred push-ups today. If not, I'll still keep your games and figurines."

The three wailed again.

Ever since the banquet, the whole family had been treating Shannon like a queen.

That was because Donald and Helen had specifically shown gratitude toward George at the end of the banquet. They didn't forget to thank him after Shannon saved Emily's life.

"Shannon's such a capable woman. We're so grateful for her. Not only is she so incredible at such a young age, but she could even earn money by herself to pay back the Gray family for her living expenses."

When the Jensens heard that, they were utterly stunned.

Only then did they realize that the Grays would never have given her that much money, seeing how unwelcome she was in the Gray family. Where did the five million dollars come from then?

After being reminded by Donald, they finally understood.

She earned the money herself!

The Jensen family's first thought wasn't how capable Shannon was. Instead, they felt embarrassed and guilty.

Even Scott had a complicated expression on his face.

Before that, he even thought it was embarrassing for Shannon to have such strange hobbies. But she just wanted to make money.

At the same time, he didn't understand why Shannon still had to put in all that effort even after returning to the Jensen family.

It was merely five million dollars. She could've just asked Adam for it, but she didn't. Instead, she insisted on earning it herself to pay the money back.

On the same night, Adam transferred ten million dollars to Shannon's account.
