Chapter 567: Chapter 567: You agreed, and he is the heir
anwhile, far away in Sea City, Cadence Lloyd just received her revised new household registration book.
Looking at the solitary na of Cadence Lloyd on the book, her eyes welled up with emotion.
The mont she obtained the book, she felt as though the bindings that had restrained her instantly vanished.
From now on, she is only Cadence Lloyd.
Just then, her phone rang, and she answered it. On the other end was Lydia Patterson,
“Your na change and household transfer have been handled; I’ve fulfilled my promises to you. Additionally, 100,000 yuan has been transferred to your account. Tomorrow I want to see your abortion proof!”
“Don’t worry! I’ve gained what I wanted, I won’t use this child to cling to you, and from now on, we’ll act as if we don’t know each other.”
When Cadence Lloyd said this, she truly intended to follow the agreent and have an abortion.
However, when she went to the hospital for a check-up the next day, the doctor told her that due to years of labor and stress, she had a very low chance of getting pregnant.
Once this child is aborted, she might never be able to conceive again.
Cadence Lloyd hesitated instantly.
After hesitating for a long ti, Cadence Lloyd finally decided to keep the child.
But Lydia Patterson didn’t need to know.
She spent 10,000 yuan to buy a hospital abortion proof, determined to secretly give birth to the child.
When she graduates, she’ll take the child and leave, going to a place where she can’t be seen by the Patterson Family.
She won’t use this child to bind the Patterson Family, but she must have a child of her own.
No matter if the child is male or female, she won’t raise him/her like her parents did.
The love she never received from her parents in this lifeti, she will ensure her child has.
…
anwhile, at the film base.
Scarlett Jennings had just finished dealing with the Shadow Ghost and Joseph Snyder, and imdiately took the high-speed train back to Sea City with Gregory Xander.
Before they parted, Gregory Xander reminded her not to forget to return to the academy soon.
She had been away for quite a long ti; regardless of the academy’s courses, she also needed to prepare in advance for the academy competition in December.
Scarlett Jennings agreed.
Upon leaving the train station, the family driver was already waiting at the entrance.
To her surprise, besides the driver, Donovan Jennings was also there to pick her up.
“Why are you here?”
Scarlett Jennings was a bit surprised, considering Donovan Jennings was usually quite busy.
“You left in such a hurry in the morning, of course I had to co to take a look.”
He knew she had a reason to leave, and knew she was capable, but as family, he still couldn’t help but worry about her.
So he ca to take a look to feel reassured.
Donovan Jennings looked deeply at Scarlett Jennings and asked,
“Have you sorted everything out?”
Scarlett Jennings nodded, explaining the situation regarding Ariel Zimrman.
She had beco accustod to sharing her experiences with her family.
Initially, it was Luca Jennings who actively requested it.
Despite being busy every day, he always found ti to ask about interesting things happening around her.
Scarlett Jennings considered her life rather uneventful, so she started talking about the taphysical incidents she’d handled.
Luca Jennings didn’t mind; he listened with great attentiveness, like a father hearing his child’s stories from school.
When Donovan Jennings found out, he said he wanted to hear them too.
Thus, Scarlett Jennings grew into the “good habit” of actively sharing trivial matters with her family.
She even ntioned the achievents of Chase Jennings and Braxton Weaver.
“Their product has already launched; I happened to et the first buyer, and the feedback was pretty good.”
After a pause, she added, “Chase seems to have quite the talent in this area.”
Donovan Jennings smiled at the news, “Then let him work hard on it.”
Afterward, Donovan Jennings also spoke about the White Family.
Scarlett Jennings had sought out Oliver White previously, which Donovan Jennings was aware of. Recently, the White Family indeed experienced a small turmoil.
First, on the day of their internal grand gathering, Oliver White suddenly exposed that his uncle had swapped his child, and Harper Chavez made an appearance, formally changing her na to Isabella White.
Originally in the second branch, Liam White was suddenly revealed for his true parentage. Although Uncle White was initially shocked, after careful consideration, he proposed to keep him as an adopted son.
He even planned to marry him to Isabella White, bringing him into the White Family.
However, both Oliver White and Isabella White opposed this plan.
After two days of turmoil, Liam White was forced to leave the White Family, and his position in the group was demoted by three levels.
Despite reaching this point, he remained determined not to leave the group.
Donovan Jennings said,
“He probably still intends to return to the White Family, but I doubt he’ll last long.”
Donovan Jennings knew Oliver White’s thods.
Previously, he had turned a blind eye to him because of his identity as a mber of the White Family.
There needed to be a few unpresentable opponents in the company, to let the patriarch believe that the heir’s matter was still under his control.
But now, since he’s lost that identity, dealing with him would be rciless.
After talking about the White Family, the car just arrived ho.
Scarlett Jennings rembered she had to return to the academy, thought about it, and waved to Donovan Jennings as she got off the car,
“I’m heading to the Chalrs Family for a bit, you go inside, brother.”
Donovan Jennings:…
He deliberately didn’t ntion Samuel Chalrs on the way back, yet his sister was still lured away.
Tsk.
Scarlett Jennings planned to bid farewell to Samuel Chalrs.
Previously, every ti Samuel Chalrs had a business trip, he’d inform her in advance. Since she was leaving for at least two months this ti, she thought she should let him know.
After all, publicly they were already recognized as a couple.
Scarlett Jennings did not expect to see other people at the Chalrs Family residence.
To be precise, there were other Chalrs Family mbers.
The boy in front of her seed around twelve, though still in the process of maturing, he exuded a stable aura for such a young age. When he saw her, he didn’t show an ounce of surprise, instead he greeted her earnestly,
“Hello, I am Jonah Chalrs.”
“Hello.” Scarlett Jennings nodded to him, then turned her gaze to Samuel Chalrs, clearly surprised he would let other Chalrs Family mbers stay in this residence.
Though she wasn’t clear on the details, since she’d been visiting the Chalrs Family, she had never seen other family mbers.
She didn’t ask, but Samuel Chalrs spoke up,
“He’s a potential heir I picked from a collateral line.”
Pausing for a mont, he added, “I originally planned for you to officially et in a few days.”
Scarlett Jennings was first surprised by the word “Heir,” considering Samuel Chalrs was still so young. Training an heir seed a bit premature.
Then she was puzzled by what he said afterward.
“et ?”
What was the point of the heir he chose eting her?
Samuel Chalrs explained,
“You are my fiancée, and formally he should et you. Only with your approval will he be the official heir.”
Upon hearing him say fiancée, Scarlett Jennings’ heart skipped a beat, and upon understanding his aning, she was even more bewildered.
What did he an by her approval for him to be the official heir?
For an outsider like her, was it appropriate to get involved in such a significant matter of inheritance?
Scarlett Jennings felt that Samuel Chalrs was perhaps taking their supposed relationship too seriously.
Thinking this, Scarlett Jennings would never undermine his dignity in front of others.
She cooperatively responded,
“I’m fine with whatever you decide.”
After saying this, she felt it might be sowhat dismissive, perhaps Samuel Chalrs did indeed want her genuine opinion, so she seriously examined the young boy’s face.
In summary, Jonah Chalrs was truly worthy of being Samuel Chalrs’ choice.
Smart yet upright, since his parents were in a less important branch of the Chalrs Family, the boy knew what he needed to do at a very young age, thus developing a mature deanor.
Such a child, even without Samuel Chalrs’ thorough training, would inevitably achieve greatness.
Scarlett Jennings carefully shared everything she perceived with Samuel Chalrs.
Seeing her in the role of free judge, Samuel Chalrs was slightly helpless but didn’t say much.
Asking about her reason for visiting him, Scarlett Jennings spoke up,
“I’m planning to return to the academy. Next month, I’ll be going to the Capital tropolitan for about two months, and I thought I should let you know.”
Samuel Chalrs hesitated slightly, looked at her, his eyes gently curving.
“Is this a report?”
Scarlett Jennings paused, a subtle feeling passing through, before pursing her lips, “I guess.”
Samuel Chalrs then smiled, the corner of his mouth forming a shallow arc, hidden within the Golden Light, almost unseen.
“Okay.”
He said, “I’ll wait for you to co back.”
He knew what she was going to do.
But he’ll wait for her return in Sea City.
Perhaps when they et again, so things between them should be settled.
