The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 354

Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Liora Gold

At the moment when his wrist was suddenly enveloped by that warm and soft palm, Samuel Chalmers was slightly distracted.

Turning his head, he met Scarlett Jennings’s apricot eyes, a little too close, and somewhat flustered.

Scarlett Jennings really was flustered for a moment, having held the hand without much thought, and now she also felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

But then she thought that it wasn’t the first time they had held hands.

Samuel Chalmers had held her hand last time, and it was perfectly normal for her to hold his in return.

With this reasoning, Scarlett Jennings calmed down again, worried that if she let go, he would continue to finish the last stroke, so she simply kept holding on without letting go.

The two maintained this position for a full three seconds.

The two little golden light papermen were sitting side by side watching the drawing; now they look at each other, suddenly turn their bodies in unison, with both hands covering their faces, as if saying we didn’t see anything.

The embarrassment that Scarlett Jennings had just suppressed came back.

Your movements make it seem like I’m doing something shady.

Hints of warmth uninvitedly climbed to the tips of her ears, but Scarlett Jennings’s face remained tight, with a serious and earnest expression.

Coming back to her senses, she let go of his hand while simultaneously stretching out her other hand quickly to swipe away the unfinished talisman paper from Samuel Chalmers’s face.

Samuel Chalmers raised an eyebrow at her actions.

Scarlett Jennings feigned composure and said, "The creation of talismans calls for a single, unbroken stroke. You paused several times in between, so this talisman is now ruined."

As she spoke, she took the talisman paper and put it away, then after a pause, added seriously,

"You don’t seem to have any natural talent for drawing talismans; you’d better not try again in the future."

Samuel Chalmers had too many secrets wrapped in golden light, and he wasn’t like the average Mystical Sect practitioner—Scarlett Jennings wasn’t sure whether she wanted to awaken his so-called talents or not.

Scarlett Jennings had once heard her master say that the more exceptional one’s talents, the more important it is to maintain boundaries.

This is especially true within the Mystical Scholarly Realm.

When a person suddenly acquires an overwhelmingly powerful ability, even divine beings can make mistakes.

You can’t be sure what you awaken isn’t a beast.

Samuel Chalmers gazed at her artificially serious little face and did not continue to ask questions.

Just then, a knock sounded from outside the door; it was the butler.

"Miss Scarlett, there’s an express delivery downstairs, they say it’s for you," the butler said.

The butler didn’t understand why the express delivery would come here—could it be that the delivery boy also knew that Miss Scarlett was here?

Though puzzled in his mind, he maintained his professional demeanor.

Scarlett Jennings guessed it was a spiritual affairs express delivery the moment she thought about it, thinking it might be something Ivan sent back, and her eyes immediately lit up. She greeted Samuel Chalmers, grabbed one of the little golden light papermen from the table, and hurried downstairs.

The butler watched Scarlett Jennings’s retreating figure with some regret.

Miss Scarlett had only been with the young master for less than half an hour.

Why did the express delivery have to come at such an inconvenient time?

Samuel Chalmers’s face did not show much emotion, recalling Scarlett Jennings’s reaction to stopping him from completing the talisman earlier.

No matter how he looked at it, it didn’t seem like a reaction that would come from him spoiling the talisman.

Hmph.

She’s tricked him again.

His ink-black eyes deepened as Samuel Chalmers sat alone at the table, lost in thought, when his sleeve was gently tugged again.

Samuel Chalmers lifted his eyes and saw the little paperman hugging his sleeve, extending a finger to show him the table’s surface.

Following the little paperman’s gesture, Samuel Chalmers looked over,

and saw several crookedly-written characters on the blank talisman paper that had appeared there at some unknown time.

On closer inspection, Samuel Chalmers recognized the writing—it read "Liora Gold."
