The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Boss Chalmers Urgently Seeks Help

Even though Adam Jennings always appeared somewhat aloof and arrogant, he secretly had quite a few hobbies he enjoyed, one of which was collecting jade carvings.

It sounded a bit like he was an old-fashioned man, but he genuinely liked the ancient yet intricate craftsmanship.

After watching the last episode where Isolde Garrison brought out that Jade Token, he realized the carving technique looked very familiar. Before, he had suggested Scarlett Jennings put the item up for consignment at his friend’s Jade Playhouse as a way to probe her about whether she knew Grant...

But who would have thought he couldn’t get anything out of her, and instead, she inexplicably placed a Prohibition on him, forbidding him to speak.

One could only say that Scarlett Jennings really had quite a temper.

So this time, he decided not to beat around the bush; he would just ask directly!

When Scarlett Jennings heard him refer to her as an elder repeatedly, her clear almond-shaped eyes showed nothing but innocent bewilderment.

*Why did she suddenly feel the urge to tell him the truth?*

*She imagined his expression would definitely be quite interesting.*

This thought just spun around in her mind for a moment before Scarlett Jennings silently suppressed it. She had chosen not to reveal herself earlier to avoid trouble. If she voluntarily exposed anything now, surely there would be a lot of hassle to deal with.

Adam Jennings didn’t seem like someone who could keep a secret.

At this thought, Scarlett Jennings’s expression became slightly indifferent; she simply accepted her student status by default and asked him,

"Why should I introduce you?"

She was simply asking rhetorically, but to Adam Jennings, it sounded full of provocation,

"I’m your cousin; we’re family. What’s wrong with making an introduction? Are you afraid I’d steal your mentor?"

"You never know."

Adam Jennings: ...

"What do you want so that you’d be willing to introduce me?"

Adam Jennings almost blurted out if she wanted money, but recalling the consequences of his past two slip-ups, he just forced himself to hold back.

Seeing that his attitude was somewhat acceptable, Scarlett Jennings didn’t continue to make things difficult and simply said,

"The teacher doesn’t like meeting strangers. If you have something to say, I can pass it on for you. But if it’s just out of curiosity or to say hello, then forget it."

Hearing her say this, Adam Jennings felt another wave of frustration.

But thinking that Scarlett was the only one who could contact that Grant, he endured and said,

"I want the master to help custom-make a jade carving. Price is whatever he wants, as long as he’s willing to take on the work—any other conditions can be negotiated."

Scarlett Jennings hadn’t expected Adam Jennings to be so agreeable.

However, she studied jade carving mainly for making Amulets.

Jade, especially jade with Spiritual Energy, was a very suitable medium for storing Spiritual Power.

Apart from some things she occasionally made for fun, she didn’t take custom orders.

"The teacher generally doesn’t take custom orders and may not have time to make one for you; you’d better find someone else."

As Scarlett Jennings said this, she was about to turn around and return to her room. Hearing her words, Adam Jennings’s face suddenly darkened; taking a few quick steps, he directly blocked her, with a bit of anger showing on his face,

"Scarlett Jennings, do you have to be so petty? Didn’t I already say a couple of things about you before? And you even silenced me. Isn’t that enough? Now you don’t even want to help me ask a simple question?"

Seeing him glare at her with that indignant expression was amusing.

She thought it over, then simply took out her phone and fiddled with it. Shortly afterward, a WeChat notification sound was heard.

Scarlett Jennings quickly waved her phone chat interface in front of him.

"Asked, the teacher refused."
