The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 The Bell Tower That Wouldn’t Fall

“How could that be possible?”

When no one answered on the other end, Scarlett said, “Mr. Brown, Selina, I need to go now.”

The call ended.

Billy stood there, still stunned.

No. He decided he had to go see it for himself.

Selina knew her grandfather was going to meet Scarlett, so she went with him.

Half an hour later, Scarlett arrived at the entrance of Brookriver Cathedral.

The cathedral sat on a mountain inside the city.

Halfway up the mountain was a neighborhood of hillside villas.

Matthew and Leona lived there.

Scarlett used to live here before she moved away.

A paved road now led all the way to the top, straight to the cathedral.

Scarlett told the driver to stop right at the front gate.

After paying her fare and getting out, she saw that Sophia was already waiting for her at the entrance.

When Sophia saw her, she smiled warmly. “Scarlett, come on. Let’s go in together.”

Scarlett followed her inside.

As they passed the bell tower area, Sophia leaned closer and said softly, “There will be a lot of people today. Don’t be scared. I’m here. If anyone questions you, you don’t need to answer them.”

Scarlett nodded.

After walking for more than ten minutes, they reached a bell tower that looked like it might collapse at any

moment.

Around it were stacks of wooden beams and tools.

There were also many people standing nearby,

Scarlett glanced around. There were about 20 of them.

Half were elderly. Eight or nine were young adults, maybe in their early twenties.

When the younger ones saw Sophia bring over a girl, they froze for a second.

This girl looked kind of familiar.

But they didn’t think too hard about it.

One of the older men spoke up. “Sophia, is this your student? Weren’t you supposed to bring an expert craftsman?”

Sophia turned to look at Scarlett. Then she faced the group and smiled.

“Everyone, this is the person I found to restore the Brookriver Bell Tower. Her name is Scarlett.”

The moment she said that, everyone there looked shocked.

Everyone, except a few of the older folks.

They were Wade, Nicholas, Skyler, and James.

They had been in the same discussion group as Sophia before.

James was a professor of cultural studies.

He had seen Scarlett’s oracle readings in that group.

He had even thought she would collapse or meet a terrible end.

He also saw her livestreams, where she almost got into deadly accidents several times.

But every time, she somehow escaped.

Later, she returned to the show and rested for three days.

When she woke up, she looked completely fine.

Sure, she had given away a huge fortune to balance her bad luck.

But how could that be real?

If someone wasn’t strong enough to glimpse fate, how could just donating money fix their luck?

That made no sense. Still, Scarlett really did seem unharmed afterward.

So today, James came to see for himself. Was this girl the real deal or just putting on a show?

An older man with gray hair stepped forward, clearly angry.

“Sophia, what are you doing? We came all the way from Jyncrest. We didn’t come here to hear a joke. How old is this girl? Not even 20, right? Do you know how much knowledge and skill it takes to restore this bell

tower?

“The main structure alone uses two different systems to hold the weight. The key parts depend on real wood joint craftsmanship, fitted together without nails. You also have to match the brackets, beams, pillars,

crossbars, rafters, flying eaves, and roof supports.

“And that’s just the mainframe.

“Outside, there is wood carving. There are several carving styles. Each one must be detailed and precise. After that, the wood still needs to be painted and sealed.

“Do you know how many kinds of carpenters it took to build this tower in the first place?

“And now you bring a girl who isn’t even 20 and say she can fix it?

“This is ridiculous!

“And you know this tower can’t take any more mistakes.
