The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 883

Chapter 883: Chapter 883: We’ll Do as You Say

Scarlett Jennings has always been calm and composed. Even when she initially discovered that Samuel Chalmers wasn’t the same as before, no matter how upset or aggrieved she felt, she never thought of hysterically questioning or venting.

Because she knew it was useless.

Getting angry couldn’t solve any problems.

But now, facing Samuel Chalmers’ actions, she couldn’t hold back and got angry.

She was mad at him, knowing full well that the Ghost Fog had conjured this filthy Demon Energy specifically targeting him, yet he remained silent, risking himself.

Just like...

The time when he discovered the Fortune of Sea City was depleting, he didn’t say a word, resolutely returning to his body and using his entire Golden Light to replenish the lost Fortune of Sea City.

Both times, she was right by his side.

Yet both times, she could only watch helplessly.

...

Scarlett’s sudden outburst startled everyone present, including Donovan Jennings.

Especially Lucas Jennings, who didn’t even know what was happening to him the entire time. He just saw Samuel Chalmers reach out towards him, and then... his sister burst into flames.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that his sister is only eighteen. Her emotions are usually as steady as someone at twenty-eight. Even if she’s angry, she’ll act before speaking.

To provoke her into shoving and directly acting up, it must be something extraordinary.

And the one at fault must be Samuel Chalmers.

Samuel clearly didn’t expect her reaction to be so intense, but in his eyes, since these things were aimed at him, he couldn’t let her put herself in harm’s way for him, or even...

bear the risk of possible contamination from the filth.

Perhaps, she wasn’t doing it for him.

After all, she had said from the start that the only person she wanted to protect was Samuel Chalmers.

Not him,

but the Samuel Chalmers she knew.

Her anger probably stemmed from him bearing Samuel Chalmers’ name yet doing things that might harm him physically.

With dark eyes concealing a hint of loss he himself hadn’t noticed, Samuel Chalmers kept a calm facade, simply looking at her with a voice twined with composure,

"I’m not the Samuel Chalmers you knew in the past, absorbing some contamination won’t affect me at all."

He was a Dragon Vein, his true form strong enough to fear no sinister contamination.

But the person before him seemed always unable to realize this.

This inexplicably made him a bit irritable,

"I’m not him, and I don’t need your constant protection, Scarlett Jennings, I hope you understand that."

Scarlett Jennings’ eyes, already slightly red, suddenly trembled, her hands hanging by her side instinctively clenched.

The third time.

This was his third time emphasizing to her that he wasn’t him.

It was also his third time reminding her of the chasm between them.

The clenched hand tightened and then loosened, wanting to clench again but found her fingertips weak.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t speak, but Donovan Jennings and the others on the side slightly furrowed their brows.

Lucas, especially, felt something incredible. Seeing his sister with reddened eyes, yet still hearing such words, he couldn’t hold back, rushing over towards Samuel Chalmers and saying,

"Do you really need to remind us?! Do you think anyone can make my sister protect them like this? If you weren’t Samuel Chalmers, my sister wouldn’t even care... um!"

The rest of his words didn’t have a chance to come out, abruptly muffled by Donovan’s hand covering his mouth.

Donovan’s expression wasn’t pleasant either.

But he knew there were some things that shouldn’t be said.

In the heat of anger, naturally, you shoot out words to hurt.

You might feel good about it while saying them, but once calm again, those words would become thorns buried in the other’s heart, requiring immense effort to remove.

As family, they should be her support and aid, not the source of added conflict.
