Chapter 35 -35: You Have Bad Romance Luck

Samuel Chalmers watched Scarlett Jennings with an expression unchanged, merely saying,

“It was I who revealed your identity to the Silva Family before, prompting them to question the Jennings Family, which indirectly led to you running away.”

Therefore, he needed to take responsibility.

Scarlett Jennings: …

Just moments ago, she almost thought he discovered she had snatched two beams of Golden Light from him.

So, it was just this?

Was this Boss Chalmers really that easy to deceive?

Did he actually believe such an obvious fib?

Samuel Chalmers knew, of course, that it was merely an excuse Donovan Jennings used to trick him into backing her up.

But even if it was just an excuse, as long as it persuaded him, it wasn’t really deceit.

Yesterday, even though she didn’t explicitly say she needed him to keep her identity a secret, he had indeed informed the other party that she was the Jennings Family’s young lady without her consent.

Just this point alone, Samuel Chalmers wouldn’t shirk his responsibility.

Boss Chalmers’s compulsion extended to his fastidious nature.

Originally, Scarlett Jennings intended to say he didn’t need to be responsible, but her gaze inadvertently fell on his left arm.

Just now, she saw clearly that the moment Isolde Garrison accidentally bumped into his arm, the dark aura that had been wrapped around her visibly faded against the Golden Light emanating from Samuel Chalmers.

That Golden Light, like a flame, could instantly dispel all ominous spirits approaching him.

Scarlett Jennings wanted it a bit.

Thinking of this, she didn’t bother with the courtesy of saying he didn’t need to be responsible, “Then if I have any questions later on, can I come to you for help?”

“No.”

Scarlett Jennings: ???

Wasn’t he supposed to be responsible?

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Samuel Chalmers rarely explained, “You’ve already moved back to the Jennings Family, so my responsibility just concluded.”

Scarlett Jennings: …

So his responsibility was one-time only.

What a miscalculation!

As expected, just as the outside world said, Samuel Chalmers disliked such events and promptly made an excuse to leave after speaking with Scarlett Jennings.

Scarlett Jennings thought to herself, to climb up to this big shot, she really needed to put in extra thought.

But fortunately, she wasn’t in a hurry.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, a light, airy female voice suddenly came from behind,

“Chalmers is notorious for being hard to approach in the circle. If you set your sights on him, you’ll regret it.”

Scarlett Jennings turned her head, only to see the girl who had previously mocked Isolde Garrison.

The girl was about her age, with striking, sophisticated features and a mass of glossy black hair swept up, revealing an elegant, graceful swan neck.

She looked at Scarlett Jennings with a half-smile, but there wasn’t any malice in her words.

Scarlett Jennings asked her, “Do you like Samuel Chalmers?”

Usually, the ones who would proactively “warn” others not to approach a man were his admirers.

Unexpectedly, hearing Scarlett Jennings’s words, the girl reacted as if she’d heard a horrifying ghost story, her expression clearly a bit appalled,

“I would only like that Great Demon King if I thought I’d lived too long.”

Scarlett Jennings raised an eyebrow.

This was the second time she heard someone call him that.

Upon entering, he was greeted by Timothy Garrison’s face twisted in malice, his sister with red, tear-streaked eyes, and his mother inexplicably covering her mouth as she walked in.

“Dad, Mom, what’s…”

Before he could finish his question, Timothy Garrison turned around as soon as he crossed the threshold and suddenly slapped Emma White hard across the face.

“Aah!”

Emma White, caught off guard, was sent crashing to the floor.

The usually self-centered Isolde Garrison was stunned, Josiah Garrison’s face changed as he rushed forward, “Dad! What are you doing?!”

Timothy Garrison ignored his son’s attempt to stop him and made as if to kick Emma White.

On his face was a harshness never seen before.

“It’s because of you. You have only ever hindered, never helped, ruining the reputation I built for years! You’ve turned the whole Garrison Family into the laughing stock of the circle!! I wish I could strangle you right now!”

Josiah Garrison’s face changed drastically at his words, clueless why his usually gentle father suddenly became like this. Weren’t they there tonight to attend the Jennings Family’s banquet and take a chance to mend their partnership with the Jennings Family?

How did they end up as laughingstocks of the circle?

Beside him, Isolde Garrison, seeing her normally doting father like this, was taken aback and spoke up, somewhat whimpering,

“Dad! Don’t be like this, you’re scaring me…”

Her speaking up only made Timothy Garrison’s rage turn towards her.

“I haven’t even started on you! You and your mother both knew Scarlett Jennings was the Jennings Family’s young lady, yet you kept it from me. I still thought you were genuinely helping me strike a deal with the Jennings Family, only to find you two were the culprits!”

Timothy Garrison’s outburst left Isolde Garrison shaking.

Seeing this, Emma White struggled to her feet, pulled Isolde into her arms, and stopped covering her mouth. She opened her mouth and yelled,

“Timothy Garrison! How can you yell at Isolde like that?! She’s your own daughter; you’re blaming us for your own uselessness?! Why didn’t you act up just now? You acted all servile outside, only to come home and take it out on us! Coward!”

Hearing this, Josiah Garrison was shocked.

Is that really something his mother could say??
