Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2437

Shannon continued, "Besides, once you officially turn down our help, what that old lady does from then on will be none of our concern."

Laura widened her eyes in disbelief. "Says who? You summoned… I mean, you invited her here!"

Vance had clearly realized that issue, so he tried to negotiate, "Alright. How about we back out of the filming, and I hire you to deal with the evil spirit in private? What do you say, Ms. Jensen?"

Immediately, the livestream audience wasn't having it. Kai was the first to echo their dissatisfaction.

"You think she needs your money or something?"

If it weren't for the show's backing, this trivial case wouldn't have been nearly big enough to get someone like Shannon personally involved.

What Vance had offered was basically the same as a buyer trying to ditch the agent and cut a backdoor deal with the seller.

Never mind the production crew being okay with that, even Shannon wasn't about to break protocol for someone like him!

Meanwhile, Laura was visibly unnerved by the eerie stare of the old ghost woman lingering nearby. She edged closer to Vance, but she turned to Shannon and pleaded, "You can't do this to us, Ms. Jensen!

"Aren't you from the Special Security Agency? Isn't it your duty to protect us from evil spirits?"

Now that reasoning didn't work, they were going to try guilt-tripping her.

The livestream chat exploded. Viewers were practically rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight.

Who did they think they were, trying to manipulate Shannon into helping? She was a Special Security Agent, not their personal exorcist hotline!

Over at the director's booth, Carlos realized things were going off the rails. He yanked off his headset and got up, ready to rush over and intervene.

Sure, they could scrap the episode if they had to, but no one could morally blackmail his biggest star of the show! Not a chance!

Besides, this case was never just about the Callaghans, to begin with.

Carlos was about to huff and puff his way over to the villa when Shannon suddenly spoke up again.

"I think there's been a misunderstanding here. This old lady is not an evil spirit. She's not burdened with karmic debt, and she's never harmed a single one of you since the beginning."

She continued, "As for the valuables that went missing in the house… They originally belonged to her. She just never had the chance to take them with her before she died."
