Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 663

Adam withdrew his hand with a dark and cold expression.

He calmly pulled out a napkin and wiped his hand as he spoke in an icy tone, "Make her shut up, or I won't mind taking action myself."

The atmosphere in the elevator was tense, but an inappropriate thought popped into Shannon's mind. "Haven't you just done so?"

Luckily, she kept that comment to herself. The other two were clearly too stunned by Adam's sudden slap to think about the logic of his words.

Perhaps Linda was so shocked at being slapped by the man she loved that she fell silent.

Shannon took advantage of the quietness to quickly pull out a cinnabar pen and began drawing a tracing talisman. Just as she finished, the elevator doors opened with a soft ding.

Flynn stood outside the elevator door with a solemn face as he held his phone.

He began reporting when he saw them, "There's no solid news from Seastone yet. I've arranged for a private jet, and we can leave for Seastone at any time."

The summit meeting Adam was attending was just halfway through, and there were several important meetings scheduled. Leaving now would be inappropriate, so the best option was to send Alex and Linda home.

With George around, they would have someone to manage the situation if it worsened.

Alex was eager to return as soon as possible, but he hesitated before leaving. His gaze lingered on Shannon.

After a pause, he asked, "Shannon, you're coming back with us, right?"

Although he had faith in the police, having Shannon with them might provide extra reassurance.

She'd mentioned that Eva's kidnapping was connected to Linda's misfortune, and who knew if things could continue to spiral downward. Having Shannon around could perhaps use unusual methods to bring Eva back.
