The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713: Chapter 713: I Am Scarlett

The system once said that it is impossible for there to be two completely identical people in an Otherworld.

Unless the other person is not human.

Considering Aaron Hearne had personally admitted to the relationship with his master, she concluded both he and her master are demons.

Yet she hadn’t forgotten that when she first approached Aaron Hearne, it was because she suspected he was connected to the mother she had never met since birth.

Scarlett Jennings always had a suspicion, and until she saw this "mother" before her eyes, it was finally confirmed.

Even if the two looked entirely different, their behaviors always bore similarities.

She didn’t believe in coincidences.

If there are too many coincidences, either the other party is deliberately acting to confuse her, or... they are the same person.

"I am Scarlett."

Scarlett Jennings looked at the suddenly silent person opposite her, seriously stating her own name.

Logan met her stubbornly similar eyes, silent for a long moment, responding in a low voice,

"I know."

Between continuing to feign ignorance and confessing, Logan ultimately chose the latter. Since Scarlett could ask such questions, it indicated she already knew something.

She looked at Scarlett in front of her, her tone appearing somewhat helpless,

"How did you end up here?"

"I told you," Scarlett Jennings said. "I came to find you."

Despite her earlier suspicions, hearing the other person confirm those suspicions still stirred an indescribable emotion in Scarlett Jennings’s heart.

In that emotion, there was confusion, bewilderment, exasperation, and a hint of... grievance she hadn’t even noticed herself.

"Why pretend to be someone else and appear by my side?"

"Why pretend to be my master and then leave without a word?"

"Why... not acknowledge me?"

As she spoke the last sentence, her voice inexplicably grew hoarse.

The unfamiliar feeling of her throat tightening made her uncomfortable.

Logan initially intended to explain her situation with as peaceful an attitude as possible, but hearing her last question, Logan’s heart felt as if something had fiercely squeezed it.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and she rushed forward, embracing her in a tight hug without hesitation.

Feeling the real and slender warmth in her arms, Logan’s tears fell in an instant.

"No... I didn’t, won’t, not acknowledge you... Scarlett, Scarlett...

My daughter, how could I not acknowledge you... I wanted to tell you all those times... but I couldn’t..."

Logan held Scarlett Jennings, sobbing uncontrollably.

Only heaven knows, when Logan saw Scarlett Jennings outside the Jennings family’s villa, she thought she was hallucinating.

How could her Scarlett be here?

How could she come...

After returning to the Otherworld from Jasmine Hamilton’s body, she even thought she would never have a chance to see her again in this lifetime.

Scarlett Jennings stiffly allowed herself to be held, listening to the sobbing and sorrow so close to her ears, her eyes involuntarily a bit red.

She lowered her gaze, letting the silent tears slide down from her eyes.

...

Half an hour later, Scarlett Jennings sat on the sofa, looking at her mother clutching one of her arms, still sniffling.

She silently handed her the last tissue from the box, her tone helpless,

"Stop crying."

"Sob... I’m, I’m feeling awful."

Logan clung to her arm, refusing to let go, as she lowered her head to wipe away her tears, "Let me cry a while longer."

Hearing that Scarlett Jennings had actually been targeted by the other side again, Logan’s expression grew slightly uglier. Holding her arm a bit tighter, she remained silent for a long time before speaking again,

"Before I left, I once asked the headmaster of Sea City Academy to recruit you into the academy, thinking he and the Mystical Sect could protect you for me."

If the headmaster was unable to protect her, then she would have to find that person.

Aaron Hearne.

However, unless absolutely necessary, Logan didn’t want Scarlett Jennings to contact him.

With her thoughts slightly turning, Logan resumed talking about the events of back then,

"Those from Ghost Fog secretly took you away back then, and I immediately gave chase, but they sent a four-direction Elder and four protector Evil Masters.

I used all my strength, but still couldn’t snatch you back from those people; instead, I ended up heavily injured and fell into the sea..."

At that time, after falling into the sea, she unexpectedly opened a passage to the Otherworld. Not wanting to watch helplessly as her child was taken away, she expended her last demonic power to drag those Ghost Fog people into the Otherworld, leaving the only Scarlett back there then.

She thought, even if she never returned, Luca Jennings would soon come to retrieve their child.

Yet when, with great difficulty, she revived her vitality and managed to have her soul return to the original world, taking over Jasmine Hamilton’s body back to the Jennings Family, she discovered Scarlett had not only not returned to the Jennings Family but had been adopted by someone with ulterior motives, who attempted to seize her fate.

Logan later investigated and found out that Ghost Fog had another person hiding in the dark back then. After she dragged those people into the Otherworld, he took the baby Scarlett away.

The purpose was to use the Garrison family to swap Scarlett’s Fate Chart and then transfer Scarlett’s Fate Chart to his own son.

That person was Solomon, the one who sent Scarlett Jennings to the Garrison family back then.

It was precisely because of his "selfishness" that Ghost Fog didn’t continue sending people to take Scarlett.

It was then that she decided to hide her true identity and only stay by her side as her master.

"I didn’t know how long my soul could stay within Jasmine Hamilton..."

She said,

"Comparing to a mother who might leave you at any time, I thought you needed to learn how to protect yourself more."

Besides that, there was another reason.
