The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Chapter 181 The Troubles of Non-Humanology

Adam Jennings heard her cold remark and immediately felt a chill down his spine.

This was a blatant warning to keep quiet!

Scarlett Jennings took advantage of his momentary freeze and simply bypassed him, opened the rear car door, and got in.

Just as she was about to close the door, Adam’s tall frame squeezed in right behind her.

Scarlett was forced to scoot over.

Adam, however, carelessly flopped onto the backseat and slammed the car door shut.

"Wherever you’re going, I’m coming with you."

Scarlett looked at Adam as if he were a patient, while the driver turned his head to explain the situation,

"Mr. Jennings, I’m Mr. Chalmers’ driver in front. Mr. Chalmers needs Miss Jennings’ help with something, and I’m to drive her over there now."

Adam was initially confused by the mention of Mr. Chalmers, but when he realized the driver was referring to Samuel Chalmers, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Though the Chalmers and Jennings families were on good terms, and Samuel Chalmers and Brother Donovan were friends, when did Scarlett get so familiar with that Great Demon King?

Seeing her rush out just now, it was clear she received a message from him.

They even exchanged contact information?!

He, her cousin, hadn’t even exchanged contact information with her yet!

He had tried to get Grant’s contact from her, but she refused, yet she went rushing out with just one message from someone else.

Adam inexplicably felt a bit disgruntled.

After all, it was he who shared a blood relationship with her!

Scarlett had no idea how many emotions had just raced through Adam’s mind in that short moment. With the driver’s explanation done, she impatiently urged him,

"Can you get out of the car now?"

Adam originally intended to flee upon hearing this was Samuel Chalmers’ car since he had heard Samuel always hated others riding in his vehicle.

But upon hearing Scarlett’s eagerness to "dismiss" him, he suddenly didn’t feel like leaving anymore.

"I’ll follow you unless you agree to have Grant make a custom jade piece for me."

Adam decided not to get out, and the driver could only look at Scarlett for guidance.

Mr. Chalmers’ business could not be delayed.

Scarlett met the driver’s gaze, glanced at Adam beside her, and simply said,

"Just drive."

With that, she sat down and ignored Adam.

The latter, seeing she didn’t relent, decided to be stubborn as well, fiddling with his phone before remembering he hadn’t yet replied to Azura’s message.

He texted her back, saying he was currently occupied and suggested she ask the housekeeper or Uncle Ming for help instead.

Inside the villa.

Azura Loomis stood by the window, watching with her own eyes as Adam Jennings got into the same car with Scarlett Jennings. Then she looked at the message from Adam, and her previously gentle face turned unpleasant for a moment.

The next second, she threw the comb in her hand and the new doll to the floor without a trace of expression.

[System: Adam Jennings refused the host’s request once, Adam Jennings’ Goodwill Value -1 point, please be cautious in making requests of him.

Additionally, Adam Jennings’ Goodwill Value has remained unchanged for some time; it is recommended that the host intensify character strategy.]

Hearing that the Goodwill Value dropped by one point, Azura’s face grew even more displeased.

She had spent years trying to maintain an image that everyone liked, striving to please everyone, painstakingly elevating the Goodwill Value little by little.

However, according to the system’s rules, if her request was rejected by the target, regardless of how small the request was, the Goodwill Value would decrease by 1.

This left Azura feeling deeply frustrated.
