Chapter 970

Shannon decided to temporarily leave Leah at the Cooper residence. She'd sustained quite severe injuries and remained in the negative energy array Shannon had placed in a corner of the study. Shanny Gold curiously observed the array's outer boundary for some time. It eventually got bored and turned away to climb back into Benjamin's pocket. Benjamin watched Shannon finish her arrangements and was going to resume their earlier conversation when Julian approached them with a slightly regretful expression. "Ms. Jensen… Mr. Jensen is here to pick you up." Shannon froze briefly. She looked up to glance at the clock on the wall, and only then did she realize it was 11:00 pm. For Hector who'd consistently insisted she be home by 10:00 pm, an extra half-hour was likely his limit. She came to the lower floor with Benjamin, and they immediately spotted Hector seated in the living room. He was dressed in a casual tracksuit. His warm gaze landed on Shannon, and his voice was clear and calm.
