Facing the increasingly unfamiliar reflection, he started to brush his teeth leaning sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and, haphazardly wiped his face before heading downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he descended, the aunt cleaning the stairs saw him and her eyes widened, “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase Jennings was not unaccustomed to not being recognized, it only increased his irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look closely, who am I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said through gritted teeth, and the aunt looked carefully, finally realizing, “Young Master Chase, I’m sorry, it seems I was momentarily confused.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase didn’t respond further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past days, he was almost accustomed to being occasionally misidentified by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the aunt, Chase descended the stairs and his first question was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When is Scarlett coming back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, he tried consulting self-proclaimed experts to help solve his problems, but they either aimed to cheat money or claimed they couldn’t help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase’s only hope now was Scarlett.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas Jennings had been cold to him for days, at times treating him like a stranger, and simply replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My sister is busy; even if she returns, she wouldn’t have time for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase’s face fell immediately, unable to resist scolding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lucas, what is your attitude now? I’m your brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you my brother?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas retorted sharply, “How do you even resemble my brother now? Look at how you’ve been dressing, like a bum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase instinctively glanced at his attire, turning his face darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned silently upstairs, randomly picking out old clothes from his wardrobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that any slight lapse in mental focus led him to exhibit habits or interests that deviated significantly from normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though another person lived within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, he was becoming another person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not daring to imagine such a possibility, Chase forced himself to stay alert and took out a treasured sapphire necklace from the safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He personally designed it and hired globally renowned craftsmen to make it, a unique necklace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase knew that direct confrontation with Scarlett for assistance might not earn her response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the eve of her birthday, he would present his gift first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how cold-hearted she was, Scarlett wouldn’t just completely ignore him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought pretending affectionately towards her wouldn’t be too challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, after everyone had dinner, Chase brought the gift forth in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adopting his best demeanor, he spoke as gently as possible,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow is your birthday, lots of people are coming, you will likely be busy socializing, so I’m giving you this gift in advance. I checked the dress Aunt ordered for you, this necklace complements it perfectly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase presented the gift in front of the entire family, and Brianna Jennings, having returned to help prepare for the birthday party, responded with a smile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, the necklace really matches the dress I prepared for you. Why don’t you wear it tomorrow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Jennings family members were also pleased seeing harmony between cousins and chimed in agreeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flora Xalvadora even enthusiastically proposed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarlett, do you want to try it on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the hopeful gazes of everyone, Scarlett Jennings slowly lowered her gaze and spoke in an emotionless tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd paused, Chase was particularly stunned, “You don’t want the gift I gave you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett just stared at him, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her words, the faces of the Jennings Family present showed complex emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elderly Mrs. Jennings promptly spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarlett, I know your cousin did things that upset you, but everything’s in the past, he apologized to you, and now he prepared such a heartfelt gift for you in advance; you shouldn’t be so petty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donovan Jennings and a few others frowned, about to speak when Chase quickly coldly stood up and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I especially prepared this gift for you, if you’re indifferent to it, I won’t force you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he glanced at everyone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all saw it; it’s her who looks down on me, don’t say it’s me targeting her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Chase was about to leave with the jewelry box, when he heard Scarlett’s cold voice from behind again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this gift truly prepared specifically for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Uncle Michael Jennings couldn’t hold back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scarlett, what do you mean? Would Chase’s gift prepared for you actually be meant for someone else? Stop being unreasonable, quickly apologize to your cousin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett, unfazed, instead looked at Chase with clear, cold eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right, I indeed look down upon you, but I refuse your gift not out of targeting you, but because it’s meant for someone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett’s final words left the Jennings Family present somewhat bewildered, only Donovan Jennings quickly reacted, his usually smiling eyes turning cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase felt his heart skip a beat, listening as Scarlett continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I remember correctly, the jewelry box you’re holding is a custom model from D Family, and their custom models need to be ordered at least a month in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this reminder from Scarlett, Brianna was first to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, why hadn’t she thought of it earlier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chase’s box alone required at least a month for customization. He said the necklace was personally designed and custom-made, taking at least three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three months ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett had just returned not long ago, and at that time, Chase disliked Scarlett in every way, let alone preparing a birthday gift in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relating Scarlett’s earlier words, Brianna suddenly considered a possibility, her gaze toward Chase now carried some annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This nephew was truly misguided!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flora Xalvadora, being a woman, was quite sensitive to these matters and soon understood, casting a disappointed look at her own son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few men were clearly still clueless, prompting Scarlett to clarify further, pointing to the custom lettering on the box,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The xx on your box isn’t for Scarlett Jennings’ x but for Azura Loomis’ x, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke, her almond eyes coldly fixing on Chase, filled with indifference,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want the necklace you specially prepared for Azura Loomis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her final words weren’t heavy, they struck Chase deeply, causing his face to flush suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas Jennings, in shock, jumped up and pointed at Chase,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Chase! You’re too much! Azura Loomis didn’t even want it; why give it to my sister as a birthday gift?!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1128,"2026-06-10T07:18:34.866Z",1,"novelbin.me","543cb7cfac4d54055c1a573702fa7e5fc989f5969f153d4a0db32d1d288395a5","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-503","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-501",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
