The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 506

Chapter 506: Chapter 506 Fundraising to Buy a House for Scarlett Jennings

"No way!"

Chase Jennings refused almost without thinking.

Just thinking about the scenes in the dream made him want to get rid of that necklace immediately. How could he possibly give it to Scarlett to wear?

His reaction was so intense that it made Brianna Jennings feel a bit awkward for a moment, but considering the relationship between Chase and Scarlett, it seemed understandable.

Lucas Jennings, however, muttered, "Bro, you’re being too stingy."

His sister had saved him twice already, and he couldn’t even part with a necklace.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t mind, or perhaps she thought Chase’s reaction was normal.

"It’s not..."

Chase tried to explain, but no one was willing to listen to him.

Though Brianna found his nephew a bit unreasonable, he smiled and mediated,

"It’s okay, Scarlett, why don’t you take a look at the backup pieces I brought for you? They’re a bit on the glamorous side, give them a try."

Flora Xalvadora also smiled and backed up her son,

"I have a few kept in reserve, I’ll have someone bring them over for you to choose from. If Scarlett sees anything she likes, treat it as a birthday gift from your third aunt."

Scarlett smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, third aunt."

As everyone in the room started giving suggestions for Scarlett’s birthday look, Chase stood there feeling oddly out of place.

He felt a bit uncomfortable inside.

His outright refusal was partly influenced by the dream, but also because he knew the meaning behind the necklace.

After a moment of hesitation, Chase couldn’t help but say,

"Scarlett, I wasn’t targeting you."

He rarely showed any desire for reconciliation, but he spoke softly,

"It’s because that necklace isn’t suitable... it’s a flawed item."

The necklace was a birthday gift he never got to give to Azura Loomis.

No matter how perfect the craftsmanship, it was flawed because of the intended recipient.

It became a flawed item too.

Such things shouldn’t be brought out.

After shaking off Ava Zimmerman’s suggestions and reflecting on the dream, Chase realized how ridiculous he had been in the dream.

Perhaps because he looked so serious while explaining, everyone turned to look at him, while Scarlett stared at him for a moment before saying simply,

"I know."

It wasn’t that she found out, but she just knew.

Scarlett could tell when Chase was deliberately targeting her.

As for the necklace’s story, she didn’t care.

It had nothing to do with her.

Flora Xalvadora was pleased to see that her eldest son was being reasonable for once, and quickly urged someone to get her jewelry.

As long as Scarlett liked it, matching the dress wasn’t important.

She’d give it all.

Her son wasn’t considerate, so it was up to her as a mother to make up for it.

Trying on dresses and jewelry was a woman’s affair.

Chase and Lucas Jennings were ushered out, and Lucas, still worried about his brother, couldn’t resist edging closer to Chase, asking,

"Brother Chase, what did you prepare as a birthday gift for my sister?"

Chase: ...

Good grief, he was stumped.

He hadn’t prepared a birthday gift for Scarlett at all.

But Chase felt that if he said that, Lucas would likely get "upset" with him again, so after a moment’s thought, he decided to make a painful decision.

He’d give her 0.5% of the group shares as a gift!

Just as Chase was about to speak, Lucas said, "Don’t tell me you’re giving group shares again, that’s just too insincere!"

Chase: ...

Now even giving group shares doesn’t count as sincere?

What else could he give?
