Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 607

Cecily could barely hide the trace of jealousy in her eyes.

Shannon was exactly the reason. If not for her, Benjamin wouldn't have revoked even that last bit of affection level.

Sensing her hostile gaze, Shannon turned and met Cecily's hateful stare. Unlike before when she would have ignored it, she shot back a sharp glare.

Cecily's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head.

Shannon paid no further attention to her when she saw her back down. She got up and walked over to Benjamin.

After hesitating briefly, she muttered, "Why are you here?"

Benjamin looked down slightly and noticed that she wasn't embarrassed or surprised. Instead, her expression was a mix of disapproval and conflict, but there was a hint of docility about her.

His gaze softened as he replied, "Hector said your family wants to see me."

Then, he added, "You were being questioned. I need to take responsibility."

Yes, responsibility. He had allowed it when they had been misunderstood as mystic partners.

He had promised to handle their dating rumors, and now that she was in trouble, it meant he hadn't handled them properly. It was only right for him to take responsibility.

If he hadn't been concerned about frightening the Jensens, he'd have introduced himself as her fiancé.

Shannon had no idea that Benjamin was contemplating calling himself her fiancé. She immediately accepted it when hearing him mention "responsibility". It seemed that he loved taking responsibility.
