The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 969

Chapter 969: Chapter 969: As Her Fiancé

Donovan Jennings instantly noticed Scarlett Jennings’ slightly reddened eyes and Magnolia Hearne held in her embrace. He felt tense at first, then suddenly a coldness seeped into his gaze,

"Did they attack you?"

As he spoke, he lifted his eyes and looked coldly at several elders, including Emily Hearne.

The elders felt a bit wronged hearing this.

They hadn’t made a move.

It was clearly Magnolia Hearne who struck first!

But since they weren’t hit by Magnolia Hearne’s lightning, saying this held no credibility.

Donovan Jennings would never believe it regardless.

Magnolia Hearne gazed at Donovan Jennings, although his aura had a slightly weakened change, she felt not a trace of demonic power, only holding his hand tightly, fearing he’d leave again.

Beside her, Scarlett Jennings was about to ask a question when Donovan Jennings placed a hand on her head,

"I already know everything you said just now."

Donovan Jennings didn’t say how he knew, but looking at his mother who risked herself for him and his sister who wanted to trade herself for him, his heart was filled with helplessness after the pain.

He knew he awakened the so-called Demon Blood lineage, but he couldn’t use demonic power like Scarlett.

Neither could he protect them.

But at least he wouldn’t allow them to take risks for him again.

He looked at Scarlett, his eyes remained gentle, but his tone towards her was unprecedentedly stern,

"I disagree, and I forbid it, and never again should there be such thoughts."

Though he disliked the feeling of being manipulated and arranged at will, if he couldn’t shake off the Hearne Clan’s schemes right now.

Then he’d rather be the one getting schemed against.

Of course, those who wanted to scheme against him should be ready to bear the consequences.

Even if he couldn’t bring these people down, causing them some trouble was always achievable.

Donovan Jennings wanted to tell Scarlett, he might not be able to use demonic power, but he’d never be the one needing her protection.

Scarlett Jennings could feel Donovan Jennings’ mood, but...

"Brother, trust me, I’m the only one who can do this."

Scarlett Jennings spoke softly, not waiting for Donovan Jennings to respond before handing Magnolia Hearne over to him, and was about to speak to Emily Hearne when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Samuel Chalmers.

He opened his mouth and spoke for the first time since teleporting here,

"Today, no one here will become the Ten-tailed’s vessel."

Donovan Jennings wouldn’t.

She certainly wouldn’t.

The small demons might not be aware of Samuel Chalmers’ identity, but no one present was clueless.

When he brought Donovan Jennings out and appeared here, the elders had been wary all along, and hearing him now, the leading elder couldn’t help but step forward,

The attitude neither servile nor overbearing,

"My lord, the vessel is an internal matter of the Hearne Clan, it’s inappropriate for you to speak."

Emily Hearne’s gaze fell on Samuel Chalmers holding Scarlett Jennings’ hand, and she calmly agreed,

"Indeed, though my lord is a Dragon Vein, you have no authority over our clan’s affairs."

Samuel Chalmers looked at Emily Hearne, his demeanor steady, tone unchanged, yet said,

"Standing here today, I’m not merely intervening as a Dragon Vein in your clan’s matters, but as Scarlett Jennings’... fiancé."

With these words, the hall fell silent for a moment.

Scarlett Jennings likewise looked at Samuel Chalmers.
