The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 186: She Finally Clung to This Powerful Support

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: She Finally Clung to This Powerful Support

At the end, that airy question fell like a hammer hitting Azura Loomis right on the forehead.

She suddenly widened her eyes, apparently not expecting Scarlett Jennings to have overheard her conversation with Samuel Chalmers!

How could she eavesdrop on their conversation?!

Even though Azura Loomis was usually steady, she was caught off guard by Scarlett’s sudden outburst.

Before she could adjust her emotions, Lucas Jennings had already jumped out from the other end of the living room and asked Azura Loomis,

"If Samuel doesn’t want you to call him ’brother,’ why are you still calling him that?"

Lucas’s blunt questioning made Azura Loomis’s ears turn red with anger.

"I, I got used to it, and I haven’t changed yet."

Azura Loomis desperately tried to calm her emotions, finally finding an appropriate excuse for herself, then looked at Scarlett Jennings,

"I only felt that our families were close, not trying to say anything. If you don’t like hearing it, I won’t say it anymore."

Toward the end, her voice lowered, but the next second, she heard a system voice in her mind.

[System: Lucas’s goodwill value -3. Current goodwill value is 61, about to fall below the passing mark. The host should quickly strategize to increase the target’s goodwill value.]

Azura Loomis’s expression noticeably froze as she looked at Lucas in disbelief.

What did she do to make his goodwill value drop by three points again?

Before, when he ignored her and distanced himself, she didn’t blame him, so why is he still doing this to her?!

At this moment, Azura Loomis truly felt extremely wronged.

Lucas Jennings was somewhat baffled when faced with Azura Loomis’s resentful eyes.

Ever since he broke ties with Azura Loomis, Lucas felt much clearer-minded. Previously, if he heard Azura say such things, he would definitely blame Scarlett.

But now...

It just seemed like Azura was a bit like Ariel, especially since Brother Samuel had already corrected her, yet she still insisted on using that term in front of others, claiming she was used to it.

It was obviously a lie.

Since coming to the Jennings Family, Azura hadn’t even spoken much with Brother Samuel, used to it, my foot.

Hmm, never thought she’d be such a person.

My sister Scarlett is still the best.

Incredible, loyal, real!

[System: Lucas’s goodwill value -2. Current goodwill value is 59, now below the passing line. Please host retarget to increase goodwill value.]

Azura Loomis: !!!

What did she do?!

She didn’t even speak!

Why did it drop again?!

That ungrateful child!

Lucas! This person is just a heartless idiot who doesn’t appreciate kindness!

Azura Loomis only felt her eyes almost smoke with anger, but she dared not let the two people in front of her notice, so she could only lower her head and quickly turn to leave.

Scarlett Jennings slightly frowned as she watched Azura’s departing back.

In those fleeting moments, she noticed minor changes in Azura’s face.

Was she mistaken?

On the other side, Adam Jennings watched Azura Loomis’s hurried, upset departure and instinctively gave Scarlett a somewhat reproachful look, about to say something.

But just as he turned his head, he was suddenly met with Scarlett’s cool and slightly threatening gaze.

Strangely, he felt intimidated.

He coughed softly and said, "Grandpa just asked about you, remember to talk to him when you get back."

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Scarlett to respond and also rushed upstairs.

Scarlett didn’t pay him any more attention, as Lucas was still lingering around her, babbling on.

Finally managing to dismiss him, she was about to go upstairs when her phone received a message from the big shot.

[Samuel Chalmers: If you need it, you can use the study for drawing talismans in the future.]

Scarlett Jennings halted abruptly mid-step upon seeing the message.

Thinking of the purified spiritual energy in the big guy’s study, she was instantly tempted.

A moment later, as if she thought of something, she hesitantly sent a probe.

[Scarlett Jennings: If I need Golden Light, can I also use it?]

Today she fell asleep right after finishing her work, completely forgetting to collect "compensation" from him!

After sending her message, Scarlett waited, just as she thought the big man wouldn’t reply, her phone beeped again.

[Samuel Chalmers: Sure.]

Those two brief words made Scarlett’s eyes instantly brighten.

Even the annoyance caused by Azura vanished instantly.

This alliance, she had finally secured it.

Imagining herself openly mooching off Golden Light and spiritual energy in the future.

Scarlett’s step upstairs took on a rare lightness.

Meanwhile, after sending the message, Samuel Chalmers was stunned for a moment.

He looked at what he had sent.

Not only had he voluntarily allowed her access to his study,

he even agreed to let her "mooch" on the so-called Golden Light.

Not knowing why he had that impulse just now, to actually agree to such a thing.

But since he had already agreed, Samuel naturally wouldn’t go back on his word, so he turned and instructed the butler,

"In the future, if Scarlett Jennings visits when I’m not around, she can go to the study on her own."

The butler, hearing this, almost thought he misheard.

The young master, letting her in when he wasn’t there?

Shouldn’t he disallow entry?

Frankly speaking, the young master’s willingness to let her into the study was already astonishing.

Now he was basically giving the Jennings family young lady full access?

The butler didn’t know whether to be relieved or shocked.

After realizing it, he quickly responded, "Understood."

Pausing, he asked, "Sir, if the other Jennings family lady, Miss Loomis, visits..."

Given the butler’s age, he believed he had a good eye for people. That Miss Loomis seemed quite keen to forge ties with his young master.

When Samuel heard Miss Loomis, he nearly forgot who that was.

Recalling Azura Loomis, who approached today, and her addressing him as "Brother Samuel," Samuel instinctively frowned and said,

"There are only two young ladies from the Jennings Family. If she visits again, just send her away."

This indicated he didn’t plan on letting her in at all.

The butler understood.

Over at the Jennings Family, Azura Loomis had barely come to terms with Lucas’s goodwill value falling below passing when the system unexpectedly notified her again.

[System: Samuel Chalmers Goodwill Value -1. Current goodwill value 37.]

Azura Loomis: ???

She thought 38 was the limit, yet it could still drop further!

And so suddenly!

"Why? What did I do now?"

Azura truly felt on the verge of a breakdown. If she’d done something, she’d accept it, but she hadn’t done anything!

Even when she returned from visiting the Chalmers Family, things seemed fine. Samuel hadn’t reacted negatively to her visit.

Now, nearly an hour later, suddenly her goodwill points dropped...

Azura Loomis could only think of one possibility.

"It must be Scarlett! She must have told Samuel something bad about me!"

She couldn’t think of any other reasons.

Her heart was filled with a kind of gnawing hatred for Scarlett.

She couldn’t understand why Scarlett continually opposed her; initially, Scarlett even took her rightful place as a Jennings, and she chose not to argue, even treating her with kindness.

Yet Scarlett didn’t appreciate it and even intentionally undermined her...

Azura Loomis gritted her teeth and asked the system,

"If I can boost her goodwill value, can I also borrow her fortune?"

The system unusually didn’t respond immediately, seeming to hesitate,

[System: Scarlett Jennings has a unique Fate Chart; drawing her fortune might expose the system’s existence.]

In other words, the system didn’t recommend making Scarlett a target.

Moreover, it felt Azura wouldn’t manage to win her over,

just as she struggled with Samuel Chalmers.
