The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Who Doesn’t Want to Hug This Golden Thigh?

Despite having a million curiosities in his heart, Lucas Jennings didn’t ask too many questions and directly instructed the driver, "Drive to the Chalmers Family’s place."

When the car stopped outside the Chalmers Family’s gate, Lucas was initially worried they wouldn’t be able to get in.

After all, with Samuel Chalmers’ obsessive-compulsive disorder, even an extra blade of grass in his own garden would make him give a cold face, let alone extra people coming and going.

Unexpectedly, when the Chalmers Family’s butler saw Scarlett Jennings, he smiled and invited them in without needing any notification.

Lucas was surprised, yet as he was about to follow, he heard Scarlett say, "You go back first."

After speaking, she went straight up to the second floor, looking as if she had returned to her own home.

Lucas couldn’t understand, clearly his sister had only returned to the Jennings Family for just over a month, when had she become so familiar with Brother Samuel?

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, Lucas didn’t heed Scarlett’s words and just went back.

Although his sister looked normal, her complexion wasn’t as rosy as usual, not to mention the fine sweat constantly oozing from her forehead.

He didn’t know what was wrong with her, but he couldn’t help worrying.

Ever since he was chased by strange silk threads in that abandoned school building and Scarlett suddenly descended from the sky to save him, he had acknowledged this sister in his heart.

It was also because he had seen how powerful she was that Lucas always felt she was invincible.

Although she was only four years older than him, she seemed like she didn’t need anyone to worry about anything.

Brother Donovan, too, had been excellent since childhood, not needing anyone to worry, but that was due to his own abilities and being the eldest grandson of the Jennings Family, he had enough ability and resources to handle everything.

But Scarlett...what did she have?

While squatting by the Chalmers Family’s doorstep lost in thought, Lucas suddenly saw a pair of feet stop in front of him.

Looking up, he saw Samuel Chalmers’ face that seemed divinely crafted yet so cold that it isolated all emotions.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stood up from the steps, obediently greeting, "Br-Brother Samuel."

In front of the Great Demon King, Lucas was still intimidated.

Samuel rarely acknowledged him with a hum, then stood on the spot, casting him a sidelong glance.

Only then did Lucas notice he was blocking the way and hurriedly stepped aside.

Samuel moved forward without looking back and entered the door.

Lucas watched him in that impeccably neat suit, glanced at the time, and only then did he belatedly realize.

The Great Demon King hadn’t been home just now, so who did his sister go upstairs to see?

Or did his sister come over and not find anyone, then call the person back?

Thinking of this possibility, Lucas couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

No way?

Since when did his sister become so formidable that even the Great Demon King could be beckoned back?

...

Samuel Chalmers naturally wasn’t summoned back by Scarlett Jennings.

Scarlett came to the Chalmers Family mainly to borrow the refined Spiritual Energy in Samuel’s study to deal with the Resentful Energy entangled in her palm.

This energy was very similar to the one attached to the infant spirit before; ordinary methods of removing it weren’t very effective. Her talisman could temporarily suppress the Resentful Energy from spreading but couldn’t eliminate the intense energy.

She could only come over and borrow a cheat.

Samuel had suddenly returned from work, noticing purple lightning flashing in the sky, and remembered Scarlett mentioned she’d brought back that Flood Dragon. Concerned she might have gotten into a fight and used a Thunder Talisman, he hurried back home from the office.

Upon entering, Samuel saw Scarlett sitting cross-legged with closed eyes in the center of the study’s carpet, surrounded by several pieces of Jade, like she had set up an array for herself.

Getting closer, he found her brow slightly furrowed, and she didn’t look as well as usual.

As Samuel approached, Scarlett opened her eyes, glanced at him once but showed no sign of getting up.

"Sorry, I might need to use your study for a bit to handle some issues."
