The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Instead of Apologizing, Giving Money is More Substantial

Lucas Jennings’ words caused Derek Gibney to be visibly taken aback, though he still looked at her with suspicion.

"How can you prove it?" Derek asked in a deep voice.

"After I brought this amulet back, Faith never took it off. If it weren’t for her sudden accident last night, I wouldn’t have noticed the amulet had a problem."

"Why should I prove something I didn’t do?" Scarlett Jennings looked at him with a cool gaze, showing no hint of panic or guilt in her expression, despite his aggressive demeanor.

"You only have two choices now. First, find someone else to save your daughter, get evidence to prove I used an Evil Technique to harm her, and then arrest me.

Second, shut your mouth and take me to see your daughter right now."

Scarlett’s attitude could be described as cold and firm. After scrutinizing her for a while, Derek Gibney, confident in his ability to read people, realized that Lucas Jennings didn’t seem to be lying.

If she weren’t skilled at disguising herself at such a young age, then she probably had nothing to do with this incident.

Then, the only one who could have tampered with Faith’s amulet was someone in the family. freewebnσvel.cøm

Pondering this possibility, Derek’s initially impulsive mind began to calm down. His expression softened as he made his choice in response to Scarlett’s earlier words,

"Please come home with me and see Faith. If you can truly make her better, I’m willing to apologize for my impulsiveness earlier."

As the eldest son of the family, although he prided himself on being of high status, he understood the importance of adapting to situations.

At the moment, nothing was more critical than Faith’s safety.

Lucas Jennings, who was standing nearby, gave a cold snort,

"You came at my sister without asking for any reason, bombarding her with accusations, and now you have the audacity to ask her for help? How thick-skinned are you?

Do you really think a daughter of the Jennings Family is someone you can order around?"

Derek, being a father, was twice rudely confronted by young Lucas Jennings, and anger almost burst through his facade. But thinking of his daughter, he held back his temper, his voice heavy,

"I said, I’m willing to apologize."

Lucas snorted immediately, "Who’s interested in your apology..."

Just as Lucas finished speaking, Scarlett Jennings finally spoke, "Indeed, I don’t need your apology."

Lucas turned his head, eyes full of disapproval.

Even if he said he didn’t care, it didn’t mean he didn’t think it was necessary!

Couldn’t she tell he was deliberately standing up for her?

Why couldn’t his sister show a bit of teamwork?

Scarlett continued calmly,

"I’ll solve your daughter’s problem; you give me eight million. Then, we’re even."

Compared to a flimsy apology, getting straight-up cash felt more substantial.

Lucas had intended to persuade her, but as soon as he heard eight million, he swallowed his words, raised a hand, and touched the twenty-thousand-dollar Jade Token hanging around his neck.

Suddenly, he felt his sister was quite generous to him.

Look at this fee structure; his twenty thousand was absolutely a family-discounted rate.

Derek Gibney slightly furrowed his brow hearing Scarlett’s straightforward demand for an eight-million-dollar reward. Compared to her standard two-thousand-dollar rate for a peace charm, the eight million seemed like an obvious markup.

But in contrast to Faith’s safety, eight million was nothing.

Derek accepted without hesitation.

Scarlett immediately called towards the stairs, and soon, a familiar little backpack was seen dragging along by a pretty petite one.

Scarlett took the small backpack, casually patted the little one’s head, instructed Uncle Ming to reward it with some snacks, then got ready to leave with Derek.

Seeing this, Lucas quickly stated that he wanted to follow.
