The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646: Chapter 646: Will You Form a Formal Bond with Me?

Scarlett Jennings never imagined that Stella Gibson would go to such lengths for the Undying Bone.

Originally, pairing her with the Undying Bone was simply because she seemed like the right choice.

Furthermore, with the Undying Bone’s strong combat power, having him around would compensate for Stella Gibson’s lack of strength.

To this, Stella Gibson only told her,

"I know how much I gain from the contract with the Undying Bone. Precisely because I know, I can’t just think about benefiting without considering my responsibility."

Everything in the world has a reciprocity.

Especially when it comes to forming contracts.

Scarlett Jennings sent everyone back to their rooms, with the other three Security Bureau members also staying in other rooms of the villa.

The success of the contract wasn’t just their word; it needed to be confirmed by the Capital Security Bureau Headquarters.

Moreover, capturing the Undying Bone was such a major event that Scarlett Jennings and her team needed to report back to the Capital Metropolitan.

When Scarlett Jennings stepped out, she saw Samuel Chalmers waiting at the end of the corridor.

"I’ve arranged for a private plane tomorrow morning. You’ve had a long day; get some rest tonight."

Scarlett Jennings nodded, looking at the faint golden light surrounding him, suddenly stepping forward and grabbing Samuel Chalmers.

"Come here."

Samuel Chalmers raised an eyebrow slightly but looked at her hand on his arm and willingly followed her.

Then, he was pulled into her room.

The guest rooms in the villa were designed with a neutral simplicity but with her belongings inside, the room unexpectedly had more of her own colors.

Samuel Chalmers looked at her, assuming she was worried about Stella Gibson and the Life-sharing Spell,

"Her choosing to use the Life-sharing Spell with the Undying Bone is not your responsibility; it was her own choice."

But he could promise her that even if one day the Undying Bone lost control... when it must be exterminated, he wouldn’t let Stella Gibson sacrifice herself.

He would save her life for her.

"I know."

Scarlett Jennings was indeed surprised by Stella Gibson’s actions, but what was done was done, and she respected Stella Gibson’s choice, and more so, admired her decision.

But that wasn’t what she wanted to discuss.

After pressing her lips together, Scarlett Jennings suddenly reached out and held Samuel Chalmers’ hand with the Peach Wood Mark.

As their palms touched, Scarlett Jennings’ mind flashed with Stella Gibson’s words.

[Since I’ve decided to contract, I must take responsibility for him.]

Even though their contract was not a deliberate choice at first, Scarlett Jennings felt she should also take responsibility.

And the foundation of that responsibility was honesty.

"Earlier, when I told you that this Peach Wood Mark is an amulet, I was lying to you."

After deciding to be honest, Scarlett Jennings spoke straightforwardly without any hesitation,

"This isn’t a Protective Mark, but a... marriage contract mark."

Samuel Chalmers: ...

"Earlier I asked you if you would mind someone making you contract an unsuspecting fiancée. That question wasn’t hypothetical either.

The Master said, those who successfully plant the Peach Wood Mark on each other represent fated partners. I’ve been keeping this from you because I didn’t want to admit it..."

As Scarlett Jennings spoke, she saw no surprise on Samuel Chalmers’ face, and she just asked,

"You’d already guessed this, hadn’t you?"

She should have known Samuel Chalmers was sharp enough to guess the truth when she made such a suggestion in the past.

Samuel Chalmers looked at her quietly for a while, then slowly nodded.

Seeing the faint trace of frustration in her eyes, Samuel Chalmers slightly narrowed his stern gaze but said,

"Whether you deceived me on this matter is not my concern. What I care more about now is what you just said..."

He said,

"You said you kept it from me because you didn’t want to admit it. So, what about now?"

His voice, low with a slight huskiness, fell into Scarlett Jennings’ ears like a startling glimpse falling into a lake.

She looked at him and responded seriously,

"I am a Master, and I believe in so-called destiny.

If you don’t mind having me as your fiancée, then I won’t mind that person being you.

I am willing to acknowledge our relationship, but I hope it’s not solely because of a contractual mark."
