The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224: Chapter 224 What Did You Say I Came For?

The air seemed to momentarily fall silent.

Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers both turned their heads simultaneously and saw Donovan Jennings standing at the entrance of the study, with the butler beside him looking both excited and vexed.

Excited because his young master had finally come to his senses.

Vexed because he hadn’t stopped him, ruining the young master and Miss Jennings’ private moment!

Donovan just stood there, his eyes, as enchanting as peach blossoms, fixed intently on their clasped hands.

Facing Donovan’s deep gaze, Samuel remained unfazed and even asked in return, "What are you here for?"

There wasn’t the slightest guilt on his face, and he didn’t even let go of Scarlett’s hand.

Donovan almost laughed from anger.

You’re holding my sister’s hand and asking me what I’m doing here?

What do you think I’m doing here?!

If Lucas hadn’t texted him, he wouldn’t have known that Samuel and his sister had come to this point.

This was the sister he had just found and brought home, whom he hadn’t even looked at much, and now this Demon King was about to whisk her away!

Looking at Scarlett again, she didn’t appear the least bit embarrassed about getting caught. Instead, she seemed about to get up, but her face scrunched up a little as she began to speak,

"My leg’s a bit numb, can you give me a pull?"

Samuel acted as though he was going to switch from holding her hand to pulling her up when Donovan truly couldn’t hold back anymore.

He marched forward in a few big steps, grabbed his sister’s hand, and gently pulled her up.

When he caught Scarlett’s gaze, he didn’t show the warning and danger he reserved for Samuel, only undisguised concern.

"What’s with this? Lucas said you weren’t feeling well? Why didn’t you call a doctor?"

"I’m fine now," Scarlett replied, shaking her hand towards Samuel. "Thanks to Samuel’s help."

Donovan pursed his lips, thinking what kind of help Samuel could offer that he, as a brother, could not.

Scarlett didn’t elaborate further, shaking her hand again, and tucked away the Jade Token she was holding. She noticed there were faint cracks on it, her brows showing a hint of gravity.

The butler saw this and immediately stepped forward to help pick up the jade pieces on the ground for her.

When Donovan saw the items laid out on the floor, he sensed that today’s events might not be as simple as they appeared. But since Scarlett didn’t explain, he didn’t press her.

"Let’s go home, you don’t look well and need to rest," Donovan said, pulling her along without waiting for an answer and gave Samuel a glare as they left.

Samuel: ...

Scarlett didn’t think she looked as bad as Donovan said she did. But since the trouble was temporarily resolved, she didn’t want to keep occupying their study. She exchanged a few words with Samuel and let Donovan lead her out of the room.

At the top of the stairs, Donovan suddenly released her hand and knelt down in front of her.

"Scarlett, hop on, and I’ll carry you downstairs."

Scarlett: ...

She felt this was really unnecessary; she wasn’t that weak, and besides...

"We could just take the elevator," she said, pointing at the villa elevator on the other side.

Donovan remained in his squat, feeling deflated again.

She even knows where the Chalmers’ elevator is; how many times has she been here?

He pondered this, but suddenly he felt a weight on his back.

When Scarlett leaned onto his back, she experienced an emotion she couldn’t quite define, even as she said she didn’t need it.

But watching Donovan crouch like this for her, she was reminded of how she used to watch Josiah Garrison carrying Isolde Garrison when she was a child.

That was a treatment she never had.

Because that was Josiah, not her brother.

But now, this was her own brother, her real one.
