Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 744

Caleb instinctively turned to Marie; she did the same to Caleb, who shot her a meaningful gaze.

The family had every reason to be surprised because everyone was aware of her feelings toward Shannon.

The only person who wasn't startled by her response was George. It was clear that the decision hadn't been discussed with Marie beforehand. Still, he knew she would have no choice but to agree.

At that moment, Marie began to feel bothered by everyone's doubtful gazes. "What's so surprising about this? It's not like I'm an unreasonable old woman whose judgment is clouded."

This time, she couldn't deny that Shannon should take all the credit for her contribution. She didn't mind giving her those shares.

Naturally, Shannon wouldn't refuse the enticing offer. She smiled and accepted the gesture. "Thank you, Grandpa."

Once again, Marie was speechless. Half of those shares came from her, so why didn't she thank her? Was she purposely doing this?

She felt gloomy, realizing that not even 2% of the shares could earn her the words "Thank you, Grandma" from Shannon.

With an amicable smile, George grunted in response to Shannon and told Marie, "This doesn't mean you can waive your five million dollar fee, alright?"

"Alright," Marie affirmed with annoyance. Seeing Shannon had no intention of saying anything more, she let out a huff and stayed silent.

Watching on the side, Caleb gritted his teeth and made a decision after some hesitation. "You're right, Grandpa. This has all been Shannon's contribution. I'll… transfer 0.5% of my shares to her as well!"

He primarily wanted to make a statement in front of everyone. After the spectacle he had made for Cecily, he needed to redeem himself.

Aside from that, he also hoped that this act of spending money would serve as a reminder of his lesson—to never lose his head over a woman again.
