Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 973

"I heard you," Shannon finally responded in a soft voice. "You can talk now. That's impressive."

Peanut spun around happily in the air at her praise. Then, it drifted back to her and widened its eyes expectantly. "Re… Reward!"

Shannon glanced at her phone. She didn't hesitate to agree given Peanut's accomplishments today. "What kind of reward do you want?"

She pondered. If it wanted a shiny orb of spiritual light it could sleep with, she could always grant it one.

But Peanut carefully enunciated, "Want… bread." Freshly baked bread that was warm and fragrant representing its mother's smell.

Shannon was surprised. She hadn't expected such a request since it'd never shown interest in human food.

While puzzled, she readily agreed. If Peanut wanted bread, she'd get bread. She had to call Thomas to make arrangements since it wanted freshly baked bread.

After making all the arrangements, she turned her attention to the texts Peanut had sent. She'd managed to glean a bit of useful information about the mysterious evil master after filtering through Ziva's chat logs.

For instance, she came to learn that the evil master, Alaric Darkwood, had the last name Darkwood as well as why they'd targeted Caleb.

Apart from Ziva and Alaric, Shannon noticed Luther's name mentioned in the texts. The duo was planning to use some dark arts on Caleb, and it appeared that Luther who'd just been released was involved.

The specifics of the dark arts weren't disclosed in the texts, but that didn't matter. She could investigate further.

As she thought so, she headed downstairs and soon found Caleb in Adam's study. Caleb looked like he'd just been scolded, and his expression was dark when he showed up.

When he saw Shannon, his face soured even more. He ignored her and decided to walk past, but Shannon stepped into his path.

She stared at him for several seconds before she suddenly asked, "Caleb, have you ever been injured in front of Ziva?"
