Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 66

At the Jensen residence, Shannon was carefully wiping the bangle she had finally retrieved from the Grays. On the desk, her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID. It was actually a high school classmate of hers whom she hadn't spoken to in a while.

Shannon picked it up. The voice on the other end of the call sounded flustered. "Shannon, it's me. Are you in Seastone now? I… I got into a car accident, and I'm at the hospital now.

"My family has canceled my credit card. Can you come over and help me pay for the fees? Please."

Shannon didn't say a word. She merely listened on the other end.

He seemed to feel a little guilty. "We're classmates, after all. You'd help me, wouldn't you? Hello? Shannon, are you still there?"

"I heard you," Shannon said. "But please tell this to Mrs. Gray, who's right beside you. If she wants to see me, tell Rachel to meet me personally. Don't use such underhanded tricks to lure me to the hospital."

After that, she hung up on the call without thinking twice.

The classmate was stunned. It wasn't just him. Even Sheila was shocked.

"How did she know that I made you call her up?" Sheila demanded. "Did you give her a hint?"

The classmate was confused. "What sort of bizarre thing was that?"

Sheila didn't know that Shannon had sharper hearing than normal people ever since she started learning mystic arts.

Shannon didn't say anything just now because she heard how Sheila rushed her classmate on the other end of the call.

She could understand why Sheila would do that. After all, she had every Gray's phone number blocked.

But she didn't understand how they could order other people around and act so arrogantly.

They needed her help, yet they still wanted to use such tricks on her so that she would meet Rachel herself.
