Getting caught red-handed while secretly taking someone else’s love letter.
Even Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty, instinctively trying to hide the item behind her back.
For a second, she realized that such an action was quite disgraceful, so she took it back out again.
Facing Samuel Chalmers in front of her, Scarlett pondered how to explain why his love letter ended up in her hands, when she heard Samuel’s deep voice saying,
"You don’t need to worry, I’m not him, I won’t mind these things."
Scarlett was momentarily stunned, then he continued,
"But since you’re here to study at the Academy of Mystique, I don’t recommend you waste too much of your energy on these matters."
He spoke cryptically, but Scarlett understood clearly.
He thought this was a love letter given to her?
Holding the letter in her hand, Scarlett decided not to ponder how to explain it anymore and directly handed it to him,
"You might have misunderstood, this letter is for you."
Evidently, Samuel had never seen this letter, nor was it handed to him in person.
She paused and added,
"I asked Araminta Gold to steal it."
Samuel frowned, slowly realizing his earlier misunderstanding, and lost interest in the love letter emitting a faint demon energy.
"Just dispose of it as you see fit."
He had never accepted these things and wasn’t about to start.
But Scarlett still pushed the letter back to him.
"Something given to you shouldn’t be handled by someone else. If you don’t want it, you can return it, or burn it, just don’t give it to me."
Not to mention that the current Samuel has no previous ties with her now, even with the original Samuel, she wouldn’t overstep her bounds.
Especially in matters like this.
Samuel saw her persistence and did not insist, glancing at Araminta Gold over there.
Evidently, he knew the little paperman was the culprit, and he didn’t believe Scarlett really instructed the theft.
Facing Samuel’s gaze, Araminta Gold immediately covered her face with her hands as if caught red-handed and tried to hide behind the teapot on the desk.
Samuel didn’t bother with it anymore, took the letter, intending to destroy it, but suddenly, as if sensing something, he decided to directly open the envelope.
The envelope was made of high-grade demon clan paper, designed to let demon energy linger, allowing the recipient to sense the sender’s demon energy the moment they touch it.
It’s akin to leaving a personal perfume imprint.
When Scarlett saw him unexpectedly opening the letter face-to-face, her gaze at Samuel carried a hint of inquiry, and in the next second, she seemed to realize something and looked at the envelope in his hand.
Sure enough, the moment the envelope was opened, a faint wisp of demon energy emerged, accompanied by a nearly invisible, silk-like thread of foulness.
Samuel quickly pinched the piece of filth with his fingers, watching the black demon energy purify and dissipate at his fingertips.
Scarlett’s eyes sharpened because of the special nature of the paper; she hadn’t seen that thread of filthy demon energy just now.
This thing was hidden inside the envelope; regardless of who the demon is who wrote the letter, it’s hard to believe this is just an ordinary love letter.
"A provocation?"
Scarlett could only speculate that it was the evil demon hidden within the academy who had seen through Samuel’s identity, using such a letter that appeared to be a love letter to test him or provoke him.
Samuel didn’t reply immediately but waited until he confirmed there were no other anomalies in the envelope before taking out the letter inside.
Stuck on the letter was a photo of a popular idol, with only one sentence written underneath—
