Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 653

When Benjamin looked through his photo album and found no pictures of himself or Shannon, he realized he hadn't actually gone out for a meal with her.

The only two times they had dinner together were when she'd fallen asleep in his study and stayed for dinner, and the other was at the film studio.

Both were just ordinary dinners with no candles, no flowers, and certainly no city night views or fireworks cakes. This didn't sit right with his identity as a "boyfriend" and a fiancé.

With the thought in mind, Benjamin made a mental note. Next time for sure.

…

Benjamin and Adam didn't realize the ripple effect their interaction had caused within their social circles.

Linda saw the notice a bit later. Her first reaction was anger when she saw Adam's post with the photo. She hadn't expected Shannon to be in Northgate as well.

And when she'd been injured and had wanted Adam to visit her, he didn't have time. Yet here he was, taking Shannon out to dinner! He didn't care about her at all.

Linda stared at the photo and gnashed her teeth in jealousy.

She couldn't help but think how better it'd be if she were in the photo with Adam. Enjoying a romantic dinner with him and seeing him publicly share their photo was a scenario Linda had dreamed of for years.

And Shannon had easily obtained what Linda had always longed for. She felt that her hatred for Shannon was now justified.

While Linda was seething with resentment, Flynn appeared to report the final result of the negotiation with the production crew. The compensation had been settled at two million dollars and fell far short of eight million dollars of the ten million dollars Linda had demanded.

"This was decided by Mr. Jensen." Flynn made sure to mention Adam.
