The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 310: Reincarnation of Chase Jennings

Chase Jennings wanted to strangle this unlucky younger brother.

Blaise Jennings also wanted to strangle him.

After all, as the real brother, saying he had it coming was just too much.

However...

The youngest son, though reckless, indeed had a point.

He had just spoken, implying that he was using his status as an elder to get Scarlett to help.

This indeed amounted to a sort of moral coercion to some extent.

Blaise Jennings reflected on himself, and at this moment, Luca Jennings spoke timely,

"Lucas is right, Blaise, Chase has grown up. If he has issues, he won’t speak up; are you telling me you, as a father, should speak on his behalf?"

As Luca said this, his eyes heavily swept toward Chase.

The Jennings Family’s children could be foolish or incompetent, but they must not lack responsibility.

Chase was affected by his uncle’s gaze, and then noticed his own father seemingly agreeing that his brother had a point.

The feelings in the bottom of his heart were truly mixed.

He did not want to ask Scarlett Jennings for help.

He had looked down on Scarlett in the past, and even after he came to know of her actual capabilities, he never intended to reconcile with her.

It wasn’t that he truly detested this cousin.

It was just that,

Azura had already been wronged enough because of Scarlett’s arrival; his uncle and Brother Donovan were biased toward her, Grandpa too, and even Lucas began to follow Scarlett around, calling her ’sister’.

If even he started to reconcile with Scarlett, it would be too pitiable for Azura.

He could not betray Azura.

However, Scarlett had mentioned his dwindling fortune, coupled with his sorry appearance.

He wasn’t sure whether this situation could affect the people around him.

No, perhaps it had already had an effect.

The thirty million he lost was the Jennings Family’s thirty million.

If left unattended, could it lead to even greater losses in the future?

Chase’s pride would not allow him to be seen as a failure in others’ eyes.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chase took a deep breath and ultimately spoke,

"I don’t need her help, there are so many powerful people in the Mystical Sect. Even if I have truly been struck by misfortune, I can resolve it by finding those people."

Chase spoke earnestly, his eyebrows and eyes filled with an uncompromising stubbornness.

This surprise and disbelief filled Blaise’s eyes.

Then, without any hesitation, he pounced and smacked his forehead in the same manner as he had done to Lucas before.

"Are you a cartwheel reincarnated to be so stubborn!"

Not seeking help from one’s own family, but instead looking to those outsiders whose nature—whether divine or ghostly—is unknown.

If he truly acknowledged his mistake and asked for help, Blaise did not believe that his niece would just ignore it.

Although the grandniece appeared cold on the surface, by observing her attitude towards Lucas, it was clear that she was not petty.

Her acceptance of such an annoying younger son before led him to believe that his elder son would also be acceptable.

Chase was caught off guard by the slap from his own father and couldn’t help staggering to the side.

Possibly choked by his saliva, he suddenly bent over, coughing violently as if he were about to hack out his lungs, his face instantly turning purple-red.

The Jiang Family were all terrified, even Lucas, who had just said that Chase got what he deserved, showed a panicking expression.

Only Scarlett spoke unhurriedly,

"Don’t worry, he just choked on saliva."

Saying so, she slowly added, "Unlucky people are always like this."

Hearing that it was a sip of saliva that caused the choke, the Jennings Family were all speechless.

Blaise Jennings originally thought it was his slap that had internally wounded his son and was anxiously fretting over it. Hearing Scarlett’s words, his gaze towards Chase Jennings was filled with immense complexity.

After a while, Chase Jennings finally recovered, his coughing sounds slowly diminishing, but his ears remained red. It was hard to tell whether it was from choking or embarrassment.

After all, nearly passing out from choking on saliva was truly humiliating.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but feel alarmed inwardly. Had his misfortune reached such a level?

Did he really have no choice but to ask Scarlett Jennings for help?

Chase Jennings had yet to make a decision from his dilemma when Scarlett Jennings couldn’t care less whether he asked for her help or not.

Because it wouldn’t make any difference even if he did.

"Like I said, looking at me is useless because I can’t help him," she stated.

The decline in Chase Jennings’ fortune was not just due to being haunted by a ghost, it seemed more like his own fortune had somehow developed a leak.

Being haunted by a ghost would only temporarily suppress one’s fortune and cause a decline.

But Chase Jennings’ fortune seemed as if someone had inexplicably taken away a piece of it...

Thinking of something, Scarlett Jennings’ apricot eyes flickered slightly.

Donovan Jennings had been paying attention to her and naturally didn’t miss the subtle changes in her eyes.

He turned his head and asked her in a low voice,

"What’s on your mind?"

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but take a quick look at Donovan Jennings.

Sometimes she really felt that Donovan Jennings was overly perceptive.

Even though he always seemed to be smiling and interacted with everyone with excessive gentleness, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

Scarlett Jennings inwardly grumbled a little but didn’t intend to hide her thoughts.

"Although I can’t help him, I can give him a direction.

Yesterday, I encountered a similar case with Ianthe Lawson, who was with me for the live streaming show."

"Ianthe Lawson, like Chase Jennings, had a deficit in her fortune leading to a slump, and plagued by bad luck. However, her condition was due to her body being maliciously taken over the previous day. When the perpetrator left, they also took away a portion of her fortune, which cannot be recovered," she explained.

Scarlett Jennings said this, her apricot eyes firmly fixed on Chase Jennings,

"Your situation is very similar to hers."

Azura Loomis, who was beside them, felt her heart skip a beat when she heard about Ianthe Lawson and the malicious takeover. She wasn’t sure if Scarlett Jennings had discovered something and was saying it on purpose for her to hear.

But then she thought, Scarlett Jennings had many interactions with her before and hadn’t detected the presence of the system, so she certainly couldn’t be aware of it now.

With this thought, her heart instantly settled down again.

She looked up, displaying the same surprised expression as the other members of the Jennings Family.

Although the Jennings Family had all seen several impressive clips of Scarlett Jennings "exerting her powers" online, the editors highlighted her "awesomeness" from multiple angles and through various methods, which was why they quickly accepted the fact that Scarlett Jennings genuinely had some abilities.

But not everyone had watched the live stream, even though they might have seen the recorded edits.

They also weren’t keeping up with online entertainment news as quickly as netizens did.

Lucas Jennings, being the only family member who followed the live stream all the way, immediately jumped out and raised his hand, saying,

"I know this gossip!"

Then, he quickly recounted how Ianthe Lawson’s body was taken over by a doll yesterday and how her live stream today was filled with misfortunes.

After the Jennings Family listened, they had to admit: the situation did seem quite similar to Chase Jennings’.

The only difference was, Chase Jennings hadn’t been taken over by a doll.

"I wasn’t taken over by a doll; I’ve been fine this whole time," Chase Jennings emphasized.

He didn’t think his situation resembled Ianthe Lawson’s in any way.

Perhaps Scarlett Jennings was just making excuses to avoid helping him.

But Lucas Jennings seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke up,

"Although Brother Chase wasn’t taken over! But he has a doll!"

Lucas Jennings said loudly,

"The doll given by Azura Loomis!"
