Has your identity been discovered by a Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace thought about the moment Scarlett Jennings had helped her earlier, and her face turned slightly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing it was Scarlett Jennings, the man’s expression grew even darker, and he couldn’t help but curse again, “Fool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretending to be someone else, even a Master—no wonder she was suspected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the capability Grace possessed, he would’ve killed such a fool hundreds of times by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace was clearly very afraid of him, trembling slightly at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect that Grant would actually have a Master behind him, there was nothing about it in the information…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I did gain something on this trip, the Benedict Jade in Adam Jennings’ possession has a very unique aura. I suspect it’s a Spiritual Artifact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing it was a Benedict Spiritual Artifact, the man’s eyes brightened, “Are you certain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grace nodded hastily, “I wouldn’t mistake it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the man’s expression finally improved a bit, “If that’s the case, then go get it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for that Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he didn’t really have any regard for her, she had disrupted his array and taken his Demon Bone—he intended to settle this score with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the auction house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming the studio where Grace worked, Samuel Chalmers had already sent people to investigate the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after Scarlett Jennings’ phone went black, an assistant had already sent a message from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The studio is rented under Landon Lester’s secretary’s name, rented for half a year. Besides that, they’ve also rented accommodations in the suburbs and the south of the city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A cunning rabbit with three burrows, seems like it’s for easy escape at any time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings frowned slightly, “But how is Landon Lester involved with Grace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Landon Lester is the businessman who had captured and imprisoned the Serpent Demon earlier. Scarlett Jennings found the Demon Bone under his villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Landon Lester is connected to Grace’s studio, and Grace is backed by that Mr. Nian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that the Great Demon’s Demon Bone is probably arranged by Mr. Nian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Landon Lester secretly deals in ancient relics. If Grace’s target is antique jade items, it’s not surprising for them to be in contact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers glanced at Scarlett Jennings and asked, “What do you plan to do next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the other side has already discovered the Image Keeping Talisman, they most likely won’t continue staying at the studio, and they will probably move their items immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going over now would be fruitless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t go there. I’ll wait for them to come my way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings said, “If they have an eye on Adam Jennings’ Benedict Jade, they’ll make a move within these days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Demon Bone she had the Mystic Regulation Office take was indeed Mr. Nian’s, he certainly wouldn’t let her go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she just has to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers saw she wasn’t panicked and simply said, “I’ll stay with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings thought of saying no, but seeing the steadiness in his dark eyes through the Golden Light, she nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll make some preparations once we’re back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment and said, “No need to tell Adam Jennings for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Jennings seems more reliable than Chase Jennings, but he isn’t very brave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Telling him in advance might ruin things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, with the Qilin of the Benedict Jade, he won’t be in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two discussed a bit more before checking the time and decided to leave the auction house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had just risen when they heard a knock on the reception room door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers’ assistant entered with staff from the auction house, each holding boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant stepped forward respectfully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chalmers, Miss Jennings, the items you’ve wanted have been successfully acquired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings was puzzled, “The items I wanted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers didn’t speak but signaled to have them brought forward and opened the boxes, revealing jade pieces of the finest quality from the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only exquisite appearance but also abundant Spiritual Energy in each piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly what Scarlett Jennings had initially targeted after seeing the auction catalog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You spent quite some time on these jade pieces before, and since other matters arose, I had people purchase them first. See if there’s anything missing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers spoke casually, as if they were simply dishes Scarlett Jennings had ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And more could be ordered if needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings pursed her lips slightly, looked at Samuel Chalmers in silence, and after a moment, nodded and said earnestly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything’s here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well done, future husband.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced again at the boxes they held and then took out a jade bead bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers didn’t understand why she liked such a bracelet with mediocre Spiritual Energy, but since she wanted it, he had it purchased too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Scarlett Jennings took the bracelet and slipped it onto his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings said, “I’ll repay the money later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade items, with his assistant and the auction staff present, were not something she could haggle over, but she was determined to pay for the bracelet herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers wasn’t surprised she would settle accounts with him; what surprised him was her giving him a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a hint of light in his eyes, he spoke softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did you give me this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I remembered, I haven’t given you a gift yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the time they met, it was always Samuel Chalmers gifting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only ever took from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings had never given him anything worthy as a gift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after they confirmed their engagement that she realized something was missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings thought this, but heard him speak in a serious tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to prove it, a little paperman shimmering with Golden Light suddenly appeared on Samuel Chalmers’ shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Araminta Gold pointed to itself eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora Gold, seeing this, jumped over and pointed to itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a gift too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked at the two little ones, then at Samuel Chalmers, and couldn’t help but cough lightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They don’t count.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two still wanting to protest, Scarlett Jennings opted to change the subject, addressing Samuel Chalmers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just wear this for now. Later, I’ll craft one myself, and then you can replace it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had intended to make him one after returning to Sea City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, upon her return, she had been busy, even missing their first date, which he had coordinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings really didn’t want him to keep waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this piece in the catalog just seemed fitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the emerald beads resting on his lengthy wrist contrasted beautifully with his pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings couldn’t resist running her fingers over the beads,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It suits you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samuel Chalmers: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the touch on the jade beads, Samuel Chalmers felt an inexplicable itch beneath them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little warmth, a slight itch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like his heart at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, he took her hand in his, gently holding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not speak, but the message was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He liked it very much.\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-10T07:18:43.165Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4cf51fd14383e8cfede71e5f78dc93d654dbee06b0e5ea38647689c69ca1cf8","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-696","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-694",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
