The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 976

Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Samuel Chalmers’s Obsession, Returning What Belongs

Facing Samuel Chalmers’ sudden silence, Donovan Jennings just sneered inwardly.

His daughter is only nineteen this year!

She hasn’t even graduated from university, what is he thinking?

If you want a proper marriage, at least wait until Scarlett graduates!

Until then, don’t even think about it!

Samuel Chalmers: ...

Alright.

Finally passing the "three-court interrogation," Scarlett Jennings took him straight to her room.

She had a gift for him.

It was a gift she had prepared earlier but hadn’t given to him yet.

Because the person she wanted to give the gift to was this familiar and comforting him.

Opening the bag she always carried with her, Scarlett Jennings rummaged inside and took out a box.

If Samuel Chalmers asked Shellback, he would know that this box had always been in her bag.

Even though the box always took up space where Shellback could sleep, Scarlett Jennings never intended to take it out.

It was so she could give it to him the moment he returned.

When Samuel Chalmers took the box, he faintly guessed what was inside.

It was the gift she had promised him before he disappeared into Golden Light.

Opening the box, he indeed saw a string of somber jade beads lying quietly inside.

Similar to the beads he won at an auction, but this one was clearly handmade by her, even the runes etched on the beads were infused with her unique spiritual energy.

In the past, he had bought the jade she fancied, and she gave him one of the jade bracelets, saying she would make one personally for him later.

Time passed, and her gift finally reached his hands.

Samuel Chalmers looked at the bracelet in the box, filled with her efforts, and said nothing, only extending his hand towards her.

Scarlett Jennings smiled slightly, as she once promised, replacing the beads in his hand with the new one she had made for him.

The somber jade beads complemented his distinct wrist, looking unusually harmonious and beautiful.

Instinctively, like before, Scarlett Jennings extended her fingertip to lightly touch the beads.

"It suits you."

The familiar scene, and the similar sensation of warmth and itch from her finger touch on his heart.

Samuel Chalmers felt a warm tingle in his heart, as he did before, he turned his hand to hold hers.

Gripping tightly, he spoke, his voice slightly hoarse,

"I really like it."

He looked at her for a long moment, then released his grip, taking out another familiar item from his chest.

The moment she recognized it, Scarlett Jennings’ eyes widened slightly.

It was the Vital Stone she once returned to him.

"You gave me a gift, and I also want to return this past gift to you."

Samuel Chalmers said,

"I know you were disappointed in me before, so you didn’t want to take it back, but now... would you allow it to return to its rightful owner?"

His voice was hoarse, with a gentle inquiry.

Which made Scarlett Jennings feel an inexplicable sourness in her heart, and yet inexplicably, a bit amused.

She couldn’t understand his obsession with giving her half of the Vital Stone.

To talk about rightful ownership, clearly, he was the original "owner."

But...

Today, she did not want to argue with him about the Vital Stone’s ownership, just watched the Vital Stone in his hand for a long time, speaking softly,

"I was never disappointed in you."

Even if she chose to give up back then, it was only temporary.
