Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 733

"Hector is right. We have two more days, so what's the rush? They're the ones who enabled that ungrateful witch. Just let them endure the consequences.

"Meanwhile, Shannon should recuperate for the time being. I'm telling all of you—do not disturb her." George paused briefly, then added, "Worst case scenario, I'll personally ask Special Security Agents to resolve the issue."

Thanks to Shannon, the Jensens established a connection with the National Special Security Agency. Through a mix of networking and bribery, they should be able to find a way to get their help.

To put it simply, they urged Shannon to take action merely because she was a family member. It was precisely because of that convenience that they were reluctant to invest time and effort into exploring other alternatives.

Instead, all they needed to do was demand.

Since George had spoken, Alex couldn't refute him. After greeting the elders, Hector led Shannon up the stairs.

He sent her to her room and ordered her to rest well. Right before he left, he heard her calling for him. "Hector."

He turned his head and met her calm gaze, after which she uttered softly, "I wasn't planning to concur when Uncle Alex asked."

She was not an angel who would keep sacrificing herself for others' sake, never mind giving herself a hard time. She was aware that Marie and Caleb disliked her. Well, the feelings were mutual.

She didn't immediately rescue them the second she found out about Cecily's predicament. On top of that, she knew they wouldn't necessarily be grateful even if she restored their souls now.

If that was the case, why rush? To her, there was no difference between getting trapped for five or seven days.

The only thing that bothered her was Hector spoke on her behalf. She could've refused them herself.
