The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 367 Settling Accounts and Cutting Ties

The next day, at Sea University.

Adam Jennings had witnessed Scarlett Jennings finding that blood-stained doll’s clothing in the compartment of his bedside table. He no longer dared to have any expectations for Azura Loomis.

*Once might have been a misunderstanding, but twice, three times...*

*He wasn’t Chase Jennings!*

At that moment, he couldn’t care less about the sadness of his parents’ divorce. He hurriedly packed his things and returned to the university.

However, he forgot that returning to university meant more opportunities to interact with Azura Loomis.

Like this moment.

Azura Loomis was holding two cups of bubble tea, smiling and waving at him.

Adam Jennings felt completely numb.

He wished he could turn around and run away immediately.

*How had he not noticed before how creepy Azura Loomis looked when she smiled?*

She even brought him bubble tea!

*What if she added something to the bubble tea?*

Azura Loomis watched as soon as she made eye contact with Adam, his "Goodwill Value" began to plummet again.

Had she not been mentally prepared, the smile on Azura’s face might not have held.

No matter what madness he was experiencing, he would soon be accompanying Chase Jennings and the old lady.

She wouldn’t hold it against him.

So she smiled and walked over to him, a hint of playful reproach in her voice,

"Brother Adam, why didn’t you react when you saw me? Are you still upset about Auntie? Do you want me to keep you company and chat?"

Auntie?

Adam Jennings was momentarily stunned, then quickly became aware, "Oh, right, I’ve been in a bad mood lately and didn’t see you just now."

Adam didn’t want to fall out with her.

Seeing that Azura Loomis could slip such sinister things into his bedside, it was clear she was deep-thinking and malicious. There was no benefit in openly confronting someone like that.

With this in mind, he displayed a somewhat exhausted look,

"Sorry, I’m really not in the mood lately, and the department is looking for me. I’ll go over there first."

As he said this, he was about to leave, but Azura Loomis unexpectedly thrust a cup of bubble tea into his hand.

The bubble tea was cold, its chill made him flinch, and he instinctively wanted to refuse.

But Azura obviously didn’t give him a chance to refuse. She hung the tea bag on his hand and said,

"The bubble tea is specially bought for you. When you’re in a bad mood, it’s better to have something sweet. Don’t worry, it’s only got fifty percent sugar."

With that, she didn’t linger and just turned around and left.

Adam looked at the bubble tea bag hanging from his wrist, feeling a bit conflicted.

*He really didn’t dare to accept anything from Azura Loomis now.*

But the bubble tea...

*It should be fine, right?*

Just as he hesitated, swinging the bubble tea bag as he walked back, he suddenly noticed a figure standing quietly on the shaded path ahead, looking at him.

Seeing the person’s face clearly, Adam Jennings thought he was hallucinating for a moment.

Scarlett Jennings... how did she end up here?

Wasn’t she supposed to be back at the academy?

*Could it be something happened at home again?*

Thinking of this, Adam hurriedly walked over to her, and upon reaching her found her gaze fixed on the bubble tea bag in his hand.

Although she hadn’t said anything, it made Adam’s heart inexplicably tense, and his voice carried a trace of nervousness,

"What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this bubble tea? I knew it! Why would Azura Loomis randomly bring me bubble tea otherwise!"

*She must be plotting against me again!*

Saying that, he grabbed the bag without hesitation and casually tossed it into a nearby trash can.

Scarlett Jennings was dumbfounded.

She had just noticed the bubble tea in his hand and felt a bit thirsty, wondering if she should take a few cups back afterward.

Who would have thought he’d just talk to himself and throw it in the trash can?

It was quite wasteful.

*Wastefulness is shameful.*

"There’s nothing wrong with the bubble tea. I’m here to give you this."

As she spoke, Scarlett handed him a talisman.

Adam’s eyes lit up, "You specifically came to bring me the talisman?"

Scarlett glanced at him, "I was meeting someone nearby and brought it along."

She paused and explained, "You previously transferred me two hundred thousand. Consider this talisman as a compensation for the divination."

Adam Jennings was momentarily stunned and only after a while remembered that he seemed to have transferred some money to her.

At that time, something had happened to Azura Loomis and Lucas Jennings in the teaching building, and it was Scarlett who saved them.

Scarlett had initially demanded thirty thousand from Azura Loomis as compensation, but he couldn’t stand it and transferred her fifty thousand. At the time, Scarlett had told him not to transfer money willy-nilly to a Master. The extra twenty thousand would be considered as money held for a reading.

Thinking back to how he had stood up for Azura Loomis before, Adam Jennings felt like a fool.

Looking at the talisman, Adam also felt a bit pitiful.

Lucas Jennings got a Protective Jade Token for the same two hundred thousand, yet all he got was a talisman...

This difference in treatment, tsk.

Seeing his vexed expression, Scarlett didn’t care, "If you don’t want it, I’ll take it back."

She said this and was about to retrieve the talisman.

Adam swiftly tucked the talisman into his pocket, "I’ll keep it!"

Scarlett saw him accept it and didn’t plan to say more. Just as she was about to leave, she saw someone in the distance holding a basketball and waving at Adam,

"Adam, want to play basketball?"

Adam waved his hand, indicating he wouldn’t go, and that person smiled and walked away.

Scarlett, however, looked at the person’s back and felt a slight reaction from the Peach Wood Sword in her backpack. After a moment, she asked Adam,

"Are you close with that person?"

Adam didn’t understand why she would ask this and just said, "He’s my roommate, but we’re not that close."

Adam’s personality was solitary, and he didn’t make friends easily.

She suddenly said, "Be careful of that person."

Before Adam could react, she continued, "Consider this an exchange for your reading fee. In the future, our transactions are clear."

With that, she turned and left.

It took Adam a while to come to his senses, and watching her leave several yards away, he became somewhat exasperated.

"You still owe me a piece of jade!"

His jade worth eight million!

What transaction is clear! How can it be clear!

Scarlett Jennings, however, paid him no further mind. The person she had sighted from afar had an aura of the system coming from him.

If Azura Loomis were really going to make a move against Adam, given that he was on guard, what could be more suitable than having his roommate do it?

She had done her part by warning him, and just hoped that Adam would be smart this time.

Even if he wasn’t, it didn’t matter. At worst, he’d be like Aunt Jennie, a doll for a few days.

Hmm, no big deal.

Meanwhile, Scarlett walked out of the university gates and headed straight to a tea room not far from school.

Upon entering, someone was already waiting in the booth. Seeing her, he rose slowly. The man was refined, and his spiritual power was as gentle as ever,

"Young friend Scarlett, long time no see."

Scarlett gave a slight nod to him, "Uncle Caius."

The person was indeed Caius Carew, the person in charge of the Seastay City’s Security Bureau.

Back when she had dealt with the Resentful Bone at Sunbeam Mountain late at night during the second program episode, Caius Carew had been the first to arrive. He had also been photographed and rumored to be her sugar daddy when he escorted her back to the guesthouse after.

They hadn’t met since until now, and Scarlett was seeking him mainly regarding the Evil God System.

Some matters required the Security Bureau’s early intervention.
