The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Demon King, The Scheming Dog

"Heh heh."

Donovan Jennings suddenly chuckled softly beside them, and somehow, there was a hint of a deeper meaning in that laughter.

He already saw through it.

Samuel Chalmers’ outfit today was unmistakably trying to... look younger!

Ha, this Demon King, such a schemer!

Samuel met Donovan’s gaze head-on, without dodging or avoiding it, showing not the slightest hint of awkwardness about being caught pretending to be younger—it was as if he didn’t care at all.

Meanwhile, Lucas Jennings bolted up the moment Samuel opened his mouth and sprinted outside like a whirlwind.

"I’m going to get my sister!"

His sister had a date today!

No way, he had to check on her quickly—can’t let his future brother-in-law wait too long.

Lucas had just reached the staircase when he saw Scarlett Jennings already coming down from upstairs.

Upon seeing her outfit, Lucas couldn’t help but exclaim immediately,

"Sis! You look amazing in that!"

Samuel heard Lucas’s loud declaration, and his heart skipped a beat. When he heard footsteps approaching, he finally stood up slowly and turned his head.

Scarlett was wearing an oil painting-style outfit—a tailored two-piece set. The design on the upper half was relatively simple, while the bottom half boasted bright and lively colors. The skirt hugged her waistline and hips just perfectly, showcasing her long legs, pale and straight.

The design was minimalistic but striking enough, giving off a sense of formality compared to her usual casual attire.

Brianna Jennings immediately recognized Scarlett’s outfit as her brand’s latest summer collection. At first glance, she thought it suited her niece perfectly.

Scarlett certainly looked stunning, but as she reached Samuel’s side, Brianna’s gaze turned subtly complex.

Clearly, these two young people had mismatched styles today.

Samuel noticed it too.

On the other hand, Scarlett didn’t seem to have given it much thought.

She had only arranged this meal with the big boss to make sure he had a proper, relaxing dinner, but Scarlett also wanted to formally thank him.

Since it was a formal meeting, she couldn’t just dress casually like she usually did.

However, dressing up overly formally in a cocktail dress felt too rigid.

After much deliberation, she opted for this outfit.

But judging by his attire today, the big boss seemed to have gone for a more laid-back look?

Despite his ensemble gleaming in golden light, it didn’t prevent her from noticing the casual nature of his outfit.

So, was Samuel deliberately toning down his usual style to match hers?

Donovan, upon observing their entirely disparate styles compared to their usual looks, understood right away. He lowered his head and couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle.

Samuel and his sister had some mutual understanding, though clearly not much.

The result of trying to adapt to each other’s preferences was decidedly mismatched styles in reverse.

Although Donovan’s expression carried a teasing smile, there was a quiet sense of relief in his heart.

At least Samuel was willing to make adjustments for Scarlett, which earned Donovan’s grudging approval of this "future brother-in-law."

After all, knowing Samuel’s personality, doing something to this extent already signified genuine intent.

Donovan didn’t mind his sister dating, but he didn’t want her partner to have a personality that required constant compromise from Scarlett.

Scarlett, however, didn’t dwell on it. After exchanging simple greetings with her family, she followed Samuel out the door.

As she got into the car, she turned to ask him directly,

"Why aren’t you wearing a suit today?"

Her curiosity was understandable—Scarlett had never seen Samuel dressed this casually since they met, whether it had been outside or at the Chalmers estate. He was always impeccably dressed.

The only time she saw him wearing anything different was a few days ago—when he had fainted, of course.

He had been wearing pajamas then.

Samuel paused for just a moment before replying calmly, "Got tired of them."

"...Oh."

Well, she got tired of her casual clothes too.
