Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 598

Caleb desperately wanted to strangle Scott alive right then, and so did Adrian. He should've stopped after saying Caleb deserved his misfortune!

He might be coarse but… he was right.

Indeed, Adrian had tried to use his seniority to morally coerce Shannon into helping.

While he reflected, Adam, on the side, timely replied, "Scottie is right. Cal is a grown man, Adrian. He's the second eldest among his generation. He needs to ask for help himself and not rely on you like a helpless child."

While saying that, Adam swept his gaze over Caleb. The Jensen descendants were allowed to be dumb and incapable but never cowardly.

After receiving his glance, Caleb saw Adrian fully convinced by Adam. He couldn't help but feel bitter at that point.

He didn't want to beg Shannon. Even after learning she had true capabilities, he didn't plan on mending their relationship. It wasn't because he disliked her, though. Rather, it was because of Cecily.

Since Shannon's arrival, Cecily had endured many grievances. With Adam, Hector, George, and even Scott siding with Shannon, he had no choice but to stand on Cecily's side to prevent her from suffering more injustice. He found her pitiful and didn't want to betray her.

When thinking about Shannon's remark earlier, he contemplated whether his bad fortune would affect his surroundings. Actually—it already had.
