Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2532

Adam's eyes darkened slightly, clearly stirred by that single word from Thalia.

Although he had intended to handle the matter himself, considering it was his bad love luck, he didn't want to turn down her offer to help.

It wasn't because he craved the feeling of being protected by her; he simply wanted to call her honey.

…

After being affectionately called honey all night, Thalia, though sore all over the next morning, still kept her promise. She dressed up and went out with Adam.

Despite having returned for over two years, she had rarely appeared in public alongside him because she disliked public attention.

As a result, not many knew anything about her except that she had reunited with Adam.

What Thalia meant by handling the matter last night was, in fact, just attending a social event alongside Adam. Even if it might not make a direct difference, it clearly conveyed his stance.

As for the rest, she would wait until meeting the young woman in person before deciding what to do.

The event today was one where Adam, as a representative of philanthropic entrepreneurs, was offering congratulations to a group of graduating students sponsored by Jensen Corporation.

Ordinarily, he wouldn't need to attend such events himself. But since Shannon mentioned that charity work could help Zane accumulate merit, Adam had handed over most of the group's philanthropic efforts to him.

This had also become Zane's area of responsibility and achievement.

However, Zane wasn't someone who could speak at will. At events like these, it was usually Adrian or another board member who attended on behalf of the company.

Still, as the person in charge, Zane would always have a reserved seat—a quiet reminder to the recipients of the aid of whom they had to thank.

Since she was a young woman, Adam rarely had any personal contact with her. The first time was when she graduated from high school, and then again after her university graduation.

Therefore, last night marked the third time.

She got his contact information only after successfully entering the company as an intern. The message she sent last night was nothing more than a formal note of gratitude for the years of sponsorship.

Truth be told, Adam hadn't sensed a hint of ambiguity in that formulaic message. So, when Thalia mentioned he had incoming bad love luck, Alicia never crossed his mind.

Praises flooded in at the scene—comments about how she was a timeless beauty and perfectly complemented Adam's stern demeanor were heard everywhere.

Those words, in scattered fragments, fell into the ears of Alicia, who was also attending the event. It was also her first time meeting Thalia.
