The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 683

Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Don’t Worry, You’re Not in Mortal Danger Anytime Soon

What kind of existence can be called a cockroach?

An existence crawling in the dark.

Even though Scarlett Jennings knew Elias Quinn lied about the collective jump incident, she instinctively chose to believe him when he talked about it.

She didn’t think Elias randomly selected those eight people. Since the targets were identified, she could proceed to the next step.

Thinking this, Scarlett decided not to eat and got ready to leave with her things.

Adam Jennings looked at her, his cheek muscles twitching slightly. After a long while, he spoke in a deep voice,

"You’re just leaving like that?"

Scarlett glanced at Adam and then at the untouched meal in front of her, thinking he was upset because she wasn’t acknowledging his rare invitation,

She thought for a moment, picked up her chopsticks, and quickly grabbed a piece of meat.

After eating, she sincerely said,

"Thank you for the treat."

Adam’s mouth twitched hard. Seeing her put down her chopsticks, he simply stepped forward, blocking her way, and asked in a deep voice,

"Aren’t you going to explain to me? About what you just said... that you weren’t born in another world?!"

Adam still hadn’t recovered by this point,

If Scarlett doesn’t exist, then who is this Scarlett in front of him?

How could she be so calm?!

Could such things be normal in the Mystical Sect?

Scarlett didn’t understand why Adam was so agitated.

After all, it was she who wasn’t born, not him.

Furthermore...

"It’s just something from another parallel universe, why care?"

Scarlett said,

"No matter what the other universe is like, it doesn’t affect me now. Nor does it affect everyone in this world."

Adam: ...

The logic made sense indeed.

But just two days ago, he learned that someone had experienced a "past life," which was that so-called Otherworld.

And now suddenly saying that the relative he finally identified doesn’t exist, wasn’t it right for him to want to know more?

"So are you not planning to tell Brother Donovan and Uncle?" Adam asked.

Hearing this, Scarlett slightly lowered her eyelids, "There’s really no need to say anything."

Even if she were to tell them, she would have to figure everything out first.

Thinking this, she looked at Adam,

"If possible, I hope you can keep this a secret for now."

Scarlett had also asked Alicia Sharp to do the same.

Compared to the matters of the Mystical Sect, the issue with the Otherworld was more complicated. She didn’t want Donovan or her father to get involved further.

Of course, if Adam refused to help keep it a secret, she had ways to ensure he had to keep quiet.

For example, using a more advanced Sealing Talisman than a Silence Talisman to seal specific words he wanted to say.

Scarlett hadn’t originally thought of this, but since Adam wanted an "explanation."

Then she might as well give him an explanation.

Unaware of Scarlett’s thoughts, Adam felt a subtle emotion rise in his heart upon hearing her ask him to help keep it a secret.

"Do you trust me that much?"

When Adam looked at Scarlett again, his eyes were complex, with an underlying hint of unnoticed delight, 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"I think this matter is quite important, involving the Jennings Family. Originally, it shouldn’t be hidden from the family."

Adam spoke seriously but then suddenly changed his tone, saying,

"But since you said so, I’ll reluctantly help you conceal it for now."

Calling it a secret between the two of them was too pretentious.

But he kept a secret that neither Donovan nor Lucas knew.

Adam felt it was proof of a change in his relationship with Scarlett.

Isn’t it often said?

Mutually keeping a secret is a way to quickly enhance the relationship between two people.

He didn’t necessarily want to be as close to her as he was to Lucas, but after all, there should be the kind of relationship that cousins should have, right?
