The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1275

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: Extra Story: Donovan Jennings 5

When Donovan Jennings encountered danger, Scarlett Jennings and Magnolia Hearne both rushed over. How could Samuel Chalmers not know?

Almost as soon as Scarlett and the others arrived, he followed right behind.

But since the situation was quickly resolved, and taking into account the rare chance for a family outing, Samuel Chalmers chose not to reveal himself.

Even in relationships, not every moment requires participation.

So he waited by the villa, not to pick up Scarlett, but to check in on Donovan.

Before Donovan became Scarlett’s brother, they were already friends.

This remained unchanged even after Samuel Chalmers awakened his Dragon Vein consciousness.

Upon hearing that Samuel was waiting for him, Donovan immediately laughed.

It wasn’t the polite, gentle smile he gave to outsiders, but rather a more carefree grin.

He walked to the bar, glanced at the stock of alcohol in the villa, and asked,

"A drink?"

After a pause, as if remembering Samuel Chalmers wasn’t human anymore, he asked, "Do you still drink?"

Samuel Chalmers gave him a sidelong glance and replied succinctly,

"Yes."

So, Donovan Jennings, fresh from a family meal, began drinking with Samuel Chalmers.

There was no fancy show—just the simple clash of alcohol and ice, creating splendid colors in the delicate glasses.

Samuel Chalmers sat at the bar, clinking glasses with him.

The two drank silently.

After a long while, Donovan finally spoke,

"I didn’t expect them all to come."

Although Donovan has been involved with the Security Bureau and the Mystical Council, he’s usually behind the scenes and rarely encounters dangerous situations involving Demon Ghosts.

But rare doesn’t mean impossible.

From the moment he decided to get involved in Mystical Sect affairs two years ago, he knew such scenarios might arise.

As an ordinary person without awakened demonic power, Donovan always knew his shortcomings.

But he was never anxious because of it.

He knew his strengths just as clearly.

People can’t expect themselves to be omnipotent.

From the beginning, Donovan planned to excel in the domains he could reach.

"I’m quite happy."

He said.

Even though he was protected.

But who wouldn’t be happy to have someone protecting them? Even as a brother, it’s no different.

Donovan doesn’t feel ashamed about being protected by his sister; instead, he feels very proud.

Look,

From just him and his father, to finding his sister again.

To finding his mother.

And then helping his mother "find" her family.

Donovan feels content with his current situation.

He didn’t share this joy with his family but could share it with a brother.

Samuel Chalmers came at just the right time.

It’s rare for Samuel to hear him ramble, and unlike the perfect image of the Jennings Family Heir seen by outsiders, the current Donovan is just an ordinary person.

He listened to Donovan talk about feeling at ease, feeling fortunate, and being content with the present.

After a moment of silence, Samuel slowly took out a pendant shaped like a Crystal Column,

"I didn’t expect you to immerse yourself in the role of being protected. In that case, you probably don’t need this."

Samuel said, waving the pendant slightly before preparing to put it away.

But just as he moved, a hand swiftly reached out and snatched it away.

"What is this?"

A black Spirit Stone, warm to the touch, and his fingertips seemed to sense the pure Spiritual Energy flowing over the stone.

It was somewhat similar to the Vital Stone that Samuel gave Scarlett, but it was different.

As both a brother and a friend, Donovan naturally knew the significance of the Vital Stone Samuel gave Scarlett, and he wasn’t arrogant enough to think Samuel would give him the remaining half.

But that didn’t stop him from being curious about the finger-sized stone pillar in his hand.

Samuel explained,

"I condensed this from the purest Spiritual Energy at the Heart Vein. It can substitute for your own Spiritual Power and assist you in cultivation."

When Donovan decided to join the Mystical Sect, he considered learning some magic.

Not to be invincible, but at least to protect himself.

But in the end, he didn’t have Scarlett’s talent.

He had no Spiritual Power, nor any demonic power.
