The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 313 I am Scarlett Jennings’s Boyfriend
Chapter 313: Chapter 313 I am Scarlett Jennings’s Boyfriend
Lucas Jennings was called back home by the old lady in broad daylight, thinking something might have happened to her.
Perhaps she was upset about something that happened yesterday.
But upon arriving at the main hall, he saw that the old lady was sitting there all well and composed.
There were also several younger family members and people from the second son’s family sitting next to her.
Upon closer look, Scarlett Jennings and Donovan Jennings were also there.
"Donovan, weren’t you supposed to take Scarlett back to the academy today?"
Before Donovan could respond, the old lady beside him spoke up with a stern face.
"Go back to what? I forbid her from returning to that so-called Taoism Academy."
Once Lucas heard it was about this matter again, his expression darkened, "Mom, didn’t we clear this up yesterday? Scarlett, she..."
"You might be fine with her learning those deceptive tricks, but her being so young and already dating, making noise all over the internet, let me ask you, do you even know about this?"
Lucas thought it was something else and as he took a seat next to Scarlett, he casually replied,
"I know."
His daughter was "bullied" several times on the variety show. As Lucas was busy and couldn’t watch the live broadcasts like Michael Jennings, he always had his secretary’s assistant monitor the broadcasts and record them, informing him immediately of any emergencies.
The scandal about Scarlett’s romance was a big piece of news, which of course he knew about.
Seeing his calm demeanor, the old lady couldn’t help but be choked with frustration.
So it turns out everyone in the family knows except her.
"Aren’t you going to do something about it?" freёnovelkiss.com
The old lady pointed at Scarlett and said, "She just started school and is already dating, and was even caught on that variety show. The respected Miss Jennings of our family is being discussed on the internet like a celebrity every day. Our Jennings family has a reputation to uphold, how do you think this makes us look to outsiders!"
"Why should I interfere? Scarlett is eighteen now, what is the issue even if she is dating?"
As long as she is not being deceived, Lucas is happy for her to enjoy her youth like any normal girl.
Given his daughter’s capabilities, he felt that ordinary people couldn’t deceive her anyway.
As for being discussed online...
"When Michael became a singer and worked in music, you didn’t oppose, so why is it unacceptable when it comes to Scarlett?"
Michael Jennings was nodding quietly, in silent agreement.
Since Michael Jennings was not at home but Lucas mentioned him, Odessa had to chime in,
"Big brother, don’t be angry, mom is just worried that Scarlett might be deceived due to her young age."
Odessa said, "Although Scarlett is capable, she is still young and has seen less of the world..."
Before Odessa could finish her sentence, Scarlett lightly interrupted her,
"Auntie is wrong, I’ve seen quite a ’few people’."
Considering the ghosts she’s seen, she has probably seen more than the old lady ever has.
As for being deceived.
Modestly speaking, she can see through people and ghosts at a glance.
Odessa was lightly choked by the retort, her smile forced for a moment but soon returned to normal as she smiled and agreed,
"That’s true, with your capabilities and your ability to read faces, maybe you see people even clearer than us elders. Why not take this opportunity to invite them over to our house, your grandparents surely would love to meet him."
Listening to Odessa’s words, Lucas somewhat disagreed.
Although he was not young, he knew that young people nowadays do not like casually bringing their partners home to their parents.
If it were possible to meet, he would be the first one to want to see.
To not put pressure on Scarlett he had been holding back, and yet you, as an aunt, are even more eager than I am?
Lucas then looked toward Old Sir Jiang,
"Dad, do you think that way too?"
He felt that Old Sir Jiang should not be making a big deal out of it like the old lady.
But he saw Old Sir Jiang smiling benignly,
"If Scarlett has someone, I would like to meet him too."
Old Sir Jiang was not opposed, but indeed curious about what kind of person his granddaughter was interested in.
It was also because of Old Sir Jiang’s attitude that Scarlett was sitting there.
Otherwise, she would have left right when Grandma Jennings first lashed out.
If she had known things would get this complex, she shouldn’t have allowed Samuel Chalmers to suppress the trending search but should have explained things clearly from the start.
Scarlett Jennings did want to clarify that she wasn’t in a relationship, but...
She slightly turned her eyes to look beside her.
Sophie Harper, having changed into a cheongsam, was floating beside her, still babbling incessantly,
"Although eighteen seems young, back in our days, one could already be a mother, having a Taoist couple is quite normal, isn’t it? Your family seems even more old-fashioned than me."
"That young master is quite a distinguished figure, you should feel inferior upon meeting him."
"Master, just let them meet! See what they can say after that?"
After confirming her identity as a Ghost Servant, Sophie Harper also started changing how she addresses others.
While Scarlett Jennings listened to her endless chatter, she also listened to Grandma Jennings speaking, feeling such a headache, thinking that since she had already formed a contract with Sophie Harper, she wouldn’t dare to make a scene even knowing the truth now.
She then decided to just break the jar and spill the reality.
However, before she could speak up, Donovan Jennings, who had been silent, suddenly put away his phone, smiled, and spoke,
"Then let’s meet."
Scarlett Jennings suddenly looked towards Donovan Jennings, and other Jennings Family members also immediately turned their gaze towards Donovan Jennings, with Lucas Jennings eagerly asking,
"Brother Donovan! Do you know who my sister’s significant other is?!"
Donovan Jennings merely smiled and said nothing.
Luca Jennings, with a stern face, felt a sourness inside.
What’s going on?
He, her biological father, hasn’t met Scarlett’s significant other, so how did Donovan, his brother, meet him first?
Is Scarlett favoring her brother?
Azura Loomis, who had been quiet from the start, couldn’t help but inquire with a raised gaze.
She actually didn’t believe that Scarlett Jennings had any romantic involvement; she couldn’t imagine what kind of man would like a girl like Scarlett Jennings.
But when Grandma Jennings flared up, she was happy to just stay nearby and enjoy the drama.
Chase Jennings and Adam Jennings were roughly thinking the same thing.
The whole room, though their thoughts varied, was a little curious about who Scarlett Jennings’ so-called significant other was.
Right then, the hall’s doorbell rang.
Donovan Jennings subtly turned his gaze, his demeanor gentle yet casual, and signaled the butler, "They should have arrived, please have them come in."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room, including Old Sir Jiang, couldn’t help but rise in anticipation, curiously looking towards the main hall door.
Upon hearing that the visitor might be Scarlett’s significant other, Luca Jennings secretly straightened up, his whole body slightly tense.
The entire Jennings Family, in eager anticipation, wasn’t an exaggeration.
Scarlett Jennings had a vague guess at what was happening, and when she clearly saw a streak of Golden Light emerging at the door, she felt somewhat numb.
The Jennings Family couldn’t see the Golden Light, only hearing footsteps slowly approaching.
Initially, Uncle Ming’s somewhat subtle expression appeared, then he stepped aside to reveal Samuel Chalmers confidently entering.
The tall and straight figure, matched with a subtle and stern aura, exuded a reserved grandeur, yet it bore an overwhelming presence.
The Jennings Family recognized Samuel Chalmers, all stupefied for a moment, not associating him with anything other than presuming he was there for business.
Luca Jennings was the first to speak,
"Samuel, is there anything you need?"
Samuel Chalmers rarely visits without a reason, surely he had something to discuss, but he was still waiting for someone.
Although Old Sir Jiang was eager to see his future grandson-in-law, facing Samuel Chalmers, he did not neglect him and promptly planned to invite him to the study for a talk.
Only to hear Samuel Chalmers slowly start speaking, his voice cold yet steady,
"I heard that Old Sir and Uncle wanted to meet me."
Old Sir Jiang, Luca Jennings: ???
Samuel Chalmers maintained his usual cool and arrogant demeanor, but when facing Old Sir Jiang and Luca Jennings, he carried a measure of respect for his elders.
He said,
"Let’s get reacquainted, I am Scarlett’s boyfriend."
