Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 114

Caleb waited for Hank to join him in telling Shannon off, but all he saw was Hank standing there with his lips tightly pursed. Still, this wasn't the time to question him. He turned back to Shannon, wanting to continue lecturing her.

Suddenly, she looked at him and asked, "How about you make a bet with me, too?"

Caleb was taken aback. Beside him, Hank's expression turned ugly. Before Caleb could say anything, Hank grabbed Caleb and turned him so they were facing each other.

He looked Caleb in the eye and tried to communicate wordlessly. He wanted to tell Caleb not to take Shannon up on her bet. She wasn't easy to deal with.

Shannon had asked a serious question. When Cecily had approached her, she'd guessed that Caleb wouldn't sit still without saying a word. As expected, he'd spoken up on Cecily's behalf. She knew she should've waited for Caleb yesterday so she could make a bet with him and Hank at the same time.

Caleb had been in his room yesterday, but Cecily knew about what had transpired. Judging from the way Hank was acting, it was evident he'd lost. There was one thing she didn't get, though—when had he lost?

Cecily's thoughts raced, but it didn't stop her from saying, "Don't talk to Shannon like that, Caleb. Uncle Adam will get mad at you again if he sees this."

Then, she turned to Shannon. "It's okay if you don't want my cooking, Shannon. It was just a suggestion, and I can't force you into anything. You can always let me know if there's anything that you want. I'm sincere about wanting to thank you."

Shannon glanced at her. "Transfer money to me, then."

As he spoke, he scanned Shannon's QR code and transferred 50 thousand dollars to her. Then, he gave her a challenging look. "I've paid you an extra 20 thousand dollars—keep the change as your allowance or something. Stop being so superficial and asking people for money from now on."

Cecily lowered her gaze at his words. Her bangs concealed the smile in her eyes.

Shannon looked at the numbers in her account and noticed how Caleb looked like he'd just done charity. She asked, "Has anyone ever told you that you can't just transfer money to a mystic master?"

Caleb looked nonplussed. Hank looked at her as well. She looked Caleb in the eye. She wasn't mad at him; she just wanted him to be aware of these things. "I'll treat the additional 20 thousand dollars as you prepaying your consultation fee. I'll try to allow you to use it as soon as possible."
