Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 984

Before Caleb could process Shannon's absurd suggestion, everything around him began to spin. Then, he became a robotic vacuum cleaner. As much as he was in disbelief, he couldn't make a noise to save his life.

Keeping her promise, Shannon brought him back to the Jensen residence. When Thomas saw the vacuum cleaner, he complimented her, "You're so meticulous, Ms. Shannon. I've always thought having four Roombas on the first floor isn't enough. Having an extra one is perfect."

That day, Thomas assigned Caleb to his "workstation". Being a robotic vacuum cleaner was almost synonymous with being trapped inside the doll, where he could only holler into the void. Not to mention, he had no control over his daily cleaning routine.

On his first day at work, Thomas complimented him on his efficiency, saying Shannon brought home a great machine. As such, he wanted him to continue cleaning.

On his tenth day at work, he was used as a ride for Tortoise the System. Whenever he did his cleaning, Marshmallow would grab the tortoise in its mouth, toss it onto his back, and let him wander around the house with Tortoise the System, following a regular path through every corner.

On days when he was lucky, he would meet his family again. All he could see were their toes, and the machine's operating system automatically adjusted its path the moment it sensed their approach.

On his 30th day at work, Caleb wanted to end his life. He forcefully altered the vacuum's coded path and repeatedly steered himself toward the wall.

One of the maids heard the noise and quickly came to stop him, mumbling, "What's wrong with it? Is it malfunctioning? Should we throw it away?"

Thomas arrived at that moment. He heard the maid's words and said, "Ms. Shannon bought this. How can we throw it away? Let's send it for maintenance. Perhaps it'll still work."

Caleb was speechless. An unprecedented sense of despair washed over him like a tidal wave. He cried, realizing he had been wrong. If he could start his life over, he would want to go back to being him—the old, real him.
