The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!

Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Two Identical Living Souls

After being caught in the act, Scarlett Jennings didn’t show a shred of guilt or make any move to let go. Instead, she said, “I’m holding onto you to keep us from getting separated in the crowd.”

Samuel Chalmers glanced at the moderately busy but far from crowded street ahead and lightly curled his lips. “Mm,” he replied.

The pair walked steadily forward, leaving behind the din of the crowd, and arrived at the base of an old apartment building. The only sounds around were the noisy squabbles coming from inside.

There were parents sternly questioning their kids about what 3+6 equals, children wailing as they fought over toys, and quarrels between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, as well as between spouses.

The cacophony was almost surreal in its intensity.

Scarlett Jennings followed the address given by Caius Carew to reach a door on the second-floor landing. From inside came the sharp voice of a woman berating someone,

“All you do every day is eat and crap! Am I expected to do nothing but serve your old mother all day?

She’s your mom, not mine! Why should I have to deal with all of this? You come home and just lie around without even caring about the kid! Is this supposed to be just my home to manage alone?”

“I told you not to rent out the second-floor unit! The kitchen’s flooded again—how many times has it been just this month?! I spend all day cleaning up your mother’s excrement, and now I have to clean up this mess too! I must’ve committed unspeakable sins in a past life to end up married to you!”

“Shut up!”

Samuel Chalmers listened as the man inside finally roared angrily, followed by the sharp crack of a slap. His brows furrowed, and soon, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed out from within.

Samuel Chalmers pulled Scarlett Jennings aside, pretending the two of them were just passersby.

A moment later, the rusty security door flew open with a loud clatter. The woman inside burst out, cradling her face and running off without even glancing at the two people standing in the stairwell.
