The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 913

Chapter 913: Chapter 913: Such Shamelessness

Scarlett Jennings looked at Samuel Chalmers in front of her, her almond eyes carrying an unclear emotion. After a long while, she spoke softly, asking him,

"You’ve always emphasized that you’re not him, so if you’re not, why insist that I take it back now?"

Samuel Chalmers’ eyes slightly clouded as he simply said,

"This is something he gave you. I said before, what was given to you, I won’t take back."

"I also said I don’t want it anymore."

Her voice was very calm, without a hint of indignation, just like when she first said no, resolute and never looking back.

The strange discomfort in Samuel Chalmers’ heart swept over him once again.

He wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

Because he knew, the real reason wasn’t this.

In fact, he didn’t know the answer to this question either.

It was clearly his heart, yet because it had once been with her, it had another person’s warmth.

Even if it returned to him, it still felt incomplete.

So he wanted to give it back to her.

He wanted that half of his heart to settle down again.

Scarlett watched as he remained silent, her eyelashes lowered. She opened her mouth again, and said,

"I won’t strike you with lightning anymore."

She said,

"It’s not because you are him now, but because you’re the National Protection Dragon Vein. As a member of the Security Bureau, I won’t allow myself to do anything that harms you."

Since to him, she was just as insignificant as everyone else.

Then she too could see him like everyone else; just a Dragon Vein that needed protection from all.

No longer Samuel Chalmers.

The afterglow of the sunset faded quickly, the pink ocean stained by it also gradually losing its brilliant colors and slowly returning to its original appearance.

As the rosy clouds disappeared, the light reflecting at their feet also slowly dissipated.

Samuel Chalmers looked at the calmness in her eyes, feeling something stirring deep within his soul. When she turned to leave again, he instinctively grabbed her.

He said,

"Scarlett Jennings, give me a little more time."

His voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of the past and some request,

"You... wait for me a bit longer."

Just like what she said to the Vital Stone when she rushed over back then.

Now he also hoped she would wait for him a little longer.

Don’t give up on him.

...

After their conversation that day, although Scarlett Jennings was touched, she wouldn’t easily change her words or decisions because of what he said.

Their relationship couldn’t break the ice, leaving Dashiell, who witnessed the entire scene, somewhat anxious.

When Scarlett said she wanted to give up, he supported her decision at that time.

After all, Samuel Chalmers really made her sad.

Giving him a serious cold shoulder for a month wasn’t excessive.

But seeing Scarlett Jennings’ attitude towards Samuel Chalmers becoming more indifferent, and even when he proactively sought reconciliation, she remained unmoved.

Dashiell began to worry.

Scarlett might be serious about this.

Not wanting to interfere with her decision, Dashiell directly approached Samuel Chalmers.

With a tone of resentful disappointment.

"You’ve already stopped her, can’t you just say some nice words to coax her?!

You asked her to strike you with lightning first, but Scarlett isn’t some perverse violence freak."

Samuel Chalmers looked at the young man but said nothing.

Dashiell got even more upset seeing his reaction, his eyes darting to point at the hundreds of black lines on his wrist,

"And this, if I’m not mistaken, these marks are the traces left when you withstood the Heavenly Thunder for Scarlett, right? Why didn’t you tell her when she asked back then?

If you had confessed when holding her back that day, she might have been moved and forgiven you!"

After all, that’s how it goes in TV dramas.

The heroine gets hurt and upset, then either meets the hero risking everything to save her and they reconcile in adversity,

or she accidentally discovers all the hero’s silent sacrifices for her, and then reconciling moved by that.

The script is all set; how can he not even follow the script properly! 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
