When the Heroine Turned Scumbag Chapter 9

Ava Morgan also smiled with satisfaction and said to Jade Thompson, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Looking at her slightly upturned peach blossom eyes and the bright smile on her face that didn't seem fake, Jade Thompson just curled his lips slightly and responded softly.

Pursing her lips, Ava Morgan's fingertips unconsciously touched the ring she had just put on her hand. She looked at the woman in front of her. Simu didn't say anything, but when she looked at her, Ava Morgan inexplicably noticed that she was in a low mood.

Just as I was about to say something else, I heard a cell phone buzzing.

Jade Thompson came back to his senses and looked at the caller ID. He frowned calmly, then said to Ava Morgan in a gentle voice, "Sorry, I have to take a call first."

Ava Morgan nodded and watched Jade Thompson walk away with his phone.

The waiter on the side said at the right moment, "Miss, would you like to see the necklace again?"

Ava Morgan paused, then leaned over to look at Jade Thompson's back and asked, "Is she your boss?"

If it is just a designer, it is unlikely that the store manager will come to report in person.

The clerk smiled and replied, "Yes, JM was founded by our CEO seven years ago."

Bella Carter, who was listening in, exclaimed in amazement. Although JM is not a top-level jewelry brand, it is also very well-known among light luxury brands.

She didn't expect that the brand had only been established for seven years.

"Then your CEO Si is really amazing." Bella Carter shook her head enviously again. She hoped that one day she could be so successful in her career so that her father would look at her with new eyes.

"Mr. Si is not only the founder of our brand, but also the designer. Many of our classic styles are designed by Mr. Si himself."

Ava Morgan was thoughtful after hearing this. She stared at the plain ring on her hand, then raised her eyes and said with a smile, "Then please introduce me to a few necklaces designed by your CEO himself."

The salesperson, who had achieved his sales goal, smiled happily and said, "Okay, you two follow me."

Necklaces of various styles were placed in the transparent display cabinet. Ava Morgan listened to the clerk's introduction and looked at them one by one with a focused gaze.

Bella Carter couldn't resist the clerk's sweet talk and picked out a few necklaces to try on. Ava Morgan glanced at the cheerful Bella Carter and said with a smile, "Pick whatever you want. You can pay for it yourself."

Bella Carter, who was originally immersed in her own beauty, looked aggrieved when she heard this, "Didn't we agree that you would pay for today?"

Ava Morgan suddenly changed his mind and shook his left hand at her, smiling innocently, "I'm about to find a partner, it's not good to spend money on other women, don't you think?"

Bella Carter, who was fooled for no apparent reason, was indignant and muttered in a low voice, "It's too much. You haven't even started a relationship yet, but you've already learned to forget your friends for the sake of beauty!"

As she spoke, she became even more angry and simply picked out several more necklaces and asked the clerk to help her try them on one by one.

If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t buy it. I’ll buy it myself. Humph!

Bella Carter was humming in anger, but the shop assistant next to her was delighted.

With this order, her performance this month will definitely reach the top.

Ava Morgan pretended not to hear Bella Carter's accusation. She stood up and looked through the jewels in the display cabinet one by one. After a while, she noticed a necklace in the corner.

It is a very simple style, with a jade leaf hanging on a silver chain.

"Here, please help me take it out and have a look."

The clerk looked in the direction of Ava Morgan's finger and paused. She said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, this necklace..."

"Take it out."

Jade Thompson, who had finished the phone call at some point, returned to the store. She stood beside Ava Morgan and looked down at the necklace she had chosen.

With the boss's approval, the clerk felt relieved and took the necklace out of the display cabinet.

Jade Thompson took it first, and there was some emotion in her eyes that Ava Morgan could not understand.

"Ms. Sheng, do you like this necklace?"
 
Nodding, Ava Morgan looked at the jade leaf hanging from the chain, "Very beautiful, the bamboo leaf is also carved very realistically."

After a pause, she looked up at Jade Thompson and asked, "Is this necklace also designed by Mr. Si?"

Jade Thompson stared into her eyes. Although there was no smile on her face, the tenderness between her brows could hardly be concealed.

"yes."

...

Boom...Boom...Boom...

The sky was full of heavy rain and the trees were shaking in the wind and rain.

However, Wenxian Mountain, located in the southeast of Xinyuan County, was not affected at all.

A layer of golden light that ordinary people could not see enveloped the top of the Wenxian Mountain. Even though lightning struck it, there was still no change.

Ava Morgan was dressed in a green shirt, sitting cross-legged on the top of the Wenxian Mountain. Her eyes were closed. Although she was being struck by the thunder of the tribulation period, her face did not show any panic, and she was still as calm and composed as ever.

I don’t know how long it had passed, the wind and rain were still howling between heaven and earth, but the lightning that had flashed fiercely just now was nowhere to be seen.

Ava Morgan slowly opened her eyes, she lowered her eyes to look at her palm, golden lines were faintly visible in between.

Ava Morgan knew that she had reached another level.

Feeling neither sad nor happy, he waved his sleeves to remove the barrier here, then Ava Morgan stood up and flew down from the top of the mountain using the wind control method.

After arriving all the way in Xinyuan County, Ava Morgan returned to Si Mansion, but happened to meet the housekeeper who was preparing the carriage to go out.

The anxious housekeeper saw Ava Morgan returning and hurriedly ran towards her, "Master, Master, you are finally back."

Ava Morgan nodded in response and looked around. "Where is she?"

The housekeeper quickly explained, "The young lady went to inspect the tea house early this morning. She should have been back this afternoon, but we have been waiting for a whole day and still have no news from her."

It has been raining heavily since noon today. At first, the housekeeper thought that it might be because of the bad weather and the difficulty in walking, so some time wasted. But as it was getting dark and there was still no sign of Jade Thompson, he became a little anxious and planned to take a few guards to look for him in person.

"Which direction is the teahouse?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then quickly pointed it out to Ava Morgan.

But in an instant, the woman in green disappeared.

He was shocked. Although he already knew that Ava Morgan was a Taoist immortal, this was the first time he saw Ava Morgan perform magical powers.

While marveling at the exquisiteness of the magic in his heart, the butler came to his senses, and hurriedly called the guards to drive the carriage to look for someone.

...

"Thank you for taking me back, girl. It's raining heavily outside now, so it's not convenient to travel. Why don't you stay at my house for a while?"

While expressing her gratitude, the elderly woman went to the kitchen to bring out a pot of hot tea and personally poured a cup of hot tea for Jade Thompson, several maids and guards.

Jade Thompson hesitated for a moment after hearing that. She stood up and looked outside the door. It suddenly started to rain heavily this afternoon, accompanied by thunder and lightning from time to time. Jade Thompson guessed that this was probably the sign of tribulation that Ava Morgan mentioned.

The thunder and lightning are so fierce that I don’t know if Ava Morgan can survive it safely.

Feeling a little worried, Simu took the tea and thanked the old lady, "Sorry to bother you, we will just sit for a while and leave."

...

When she woke up again, Jade Thompson found that her hands and feet were tied. She looked around in panic, but could only see several of her maids and guards lying on the ground unconscious.

With a creak, the door was opened.

The old man, who had a kind face before, now has a fawning and flattering look on his face.

She pointed at the tied-up Jade Thompson, turned around and said to the man behind her with a smile on her face, "This one is really good-looking, not only has a pretty face and a nice figure, but also has a well-known reputation."

The man behind him stretched out his hand and pushed the old woman away. He walked towards Jade Thompson and said with a smile, "Isn't this the famous Boss Si?"

Simu stared coldly at the strange man in front of him, "Are you doing this for money?"

The man laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Boss Si is still a little naive. Once I get your person, won't all your property naturally belong to me?"

As he spoke, he looked Jade Thompson up and down, and said frivolously, "I've heard for a long time that Boss Si is a famous beauty. When I saw her today, she is indeed a stunning beauty."

The old lady at the side curled her lips when she heard this, "No matter how beautiful she is, I heard that she is already 26 or 27 years old this year. She is so old and still hasn't married. Who knows if she has some hidden illness."

The man's smile faded slightly when he heard this. He waved his hand at the woman and said, "Alright, go get a few brothers to carry those maids and guards out. Don't delay my good deeds."

The old woman smiled and nodded, and after a while, Jade Thompson and the man were the only ones left in the room.

Jade Thompson struggled with his tied hands, but frowned when he found it was in vain.

She bit her lip, wondering how she could escape.

"Who are you anyway?"

The man had already sat down beside the bed and smiled proudly when he heard this. "Why? Boss Si, haven't you heard that a group of bandits appeared near the outskirts of the county recently?"

"It seems that Boss Si is still not cautious enough."

Step by step closer, the man reached out and touched Jade Thompson's cheek, "After this is done, Boss Si will be mine. At that time, Boss Si will just be a quiet woman in the backyard, and I will be in charge of your Si family's assets, hahaha..."

Jade Thompson was pushed down on the bed. She turned her face away in humiliation, trying hard not to let the man touch her.

With a cold snort, the man pressed directly on him. Before he could go any further, he was brought back to his senses by the sudden pain in his arm.

Jade Thompson tightly grasped the hairpin in her hand, her fingertips were trembling, and the name that kept coming to her mind was Ava Morgan's.

She couldn't just die here.
 
"You're looking for death, B!tch!"

The man was enraged. He ignored the wound on his arm and pulled hard with both hands. The hairpin was easily taken away and thrown on the ground.

Jade Thompson was pressed under him, and the collar of his clothes was constantly torn down.

Shaking his head in despair, unable to hold back the tears any longer, Jade Thompson pushed the man and cried out Ava Morgan's name.

"...Ava Morgan...Ava Morgan..."

A hundred miles away.

Ava Morgan stood in the suburbs, and the air around her became even colder as she couldn't find any trace of Jade Thompson.

Closing her eyes, she cast a spell, allowing her consciousness to continue to spread outward.

"...Ava Morgan..."

His eyes suddenly opened, and Ava Morgan followed the source of the sound, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

boom.

The door was slammed to the ground with great force.

The man whose good thing was interrupted was full of impatience, but before he turned around to see what was going on, the next moment, an invisible force fell on his neck, and in just two breaths, his breathing stopped abruptly.

Jade Thompson protected the clothes in front of her. She raised her eyes and looked at Ava Morgan who was rushing to her side.

She still had an indifferent look on her face, as if nothing could cause her emotions to fluctuate.

Tears were still dripping uncontrollably, Jade Thompson looked at her, "You killed him."

Nodding, Ava Morgan glanced at the body at his feet, "He deserves to die."

A smile suddenly appeared on her lips, and Jade Thompson threw himself on her and hugged her neck, letting his tears fall on Ava Morgan's skin.

"There are still a lot of them out there."

The warm breath on her neck made Ava Morgan pause for a moment. She responded, "Then kill them all."

As she spoke, she did not even look, but moved her fingertips slightly, and within a few moments, long-lasting screams were heard outside.

Jade Thompson hugged her tightly, burying his cheek in her shoulder. The expression on his face made it impossible to tell whether he was crying or laughing.

You said that you were born ruthless, so you have been practicing the way of ruthlessness since childhood.

But now, everything you have done for me, is it affectionate or heartless?

Ava Morgan.
