Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 743

Receiving the instruction, Marshmallow darted to the door, pushed it open, and headed down the stairs with wiggling hips.

The Jensens had been waiting downstairs since Shannon had forbidden anyone to disrupt her session. Then they saw Marshmallow bolting over to Hector and swiped at him using its paw.

Immediately catching its intention, Hector told everyone, "Let's head upstairs."

As he was about to do that, he felt a tug on his pants. Looking down, he saw Marshmallow clinging to his long leg as if trying to climb up.

His eyes sparkled with amusement, and he bent down to scoop it up before continuing up the stairs.

Meanwhile, Adrian and Janice were already in the room examining Caleb's body and berating him. "It's all because of you! All you ever do is create trouble for us!"

As Adrian spoke, he slapped Caleb on the back, venting all the worry and frustration he had bottled up during the days his son was trapped in the doll. Now that he was safe, he wanted to beat him up instead.

With every slap landing on his back, Caleb found himself crouching lower. At last, Adrian grasped his head and turned him toward Shannon, saying, "Shannon is all worn out because of you! Now, thank her!"

Caleb was forced to bend down, his face flushing with embarrassment.

Not only did he need to thank Shannon in front of everyone, but he also hadn't expected such a physical reprimand—which he assumed was reserved for Scott—to happen to him.

Frankly, he hadn't anticipated he'd be lectured by Adrian in front of the entire family at all.

Nevertheless, he had no excuse to refute it. He deserved it for his foolishness this time.

Gritting his teeth, he was ready to speak when Shannon interjected him. "Don't thank me, Uncle Adrian. After all, he's paying me."

She wasn't the slightest bit embarrassed for charging her family for her service. Instead, she even told everyone how she charged them five million and eight million dollars, respectively.
