The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Adam Jennings’s Opportunity

Fortunately, even though Adam Jennings was always blindly self-righteous, he could still understand when the time came to read someone’s expression.

Seeing her give him a sidelong glance, he didn’t dare to mention anything like "I’m your cousin" or "you must help me" anymore. Instead, he said,

"You can name your terms, as long as you’re willing to help, as long as I can do it."

Clearly, his attitude made Scarlett Jennings find him more agreeable.

Finally, she didn’t have to listen to any more nonsense.

"Five million, you provide your own jade."

Scarlett Jennings was concise, adding, "I’ll get it to you within three months, no prodding me."

Adam’s eyes shifted initially, then he felt her asking price was a bit steep.

"Can’t it be cheaper?"

Five million, plus good jade material, would cut his savings right in half!

Scarlett gave him a sidelong glance, silently stating, "When you approached me before, you said the price was up to me."

Adam: ...

When he asked her for help to connect with Grant for a custom jade piece, he did say that.

But wasn’t that because he thought Grant was a real master?

Now, the imagined old artist turned into a younger cousin, and he felt the quoted price was deliberately ripping him off.

Even though he thought this way, Adam knew he couldn’t say it out loud. After all, given Scarlett’s vindictiveness, she might just refuse to help him if she got upset.

Though Adam said nothing, his unwillingness was still slightly betrayed in his expression.

Scarlett then said,

"If you think it’s expensive, I can give you a piece of advice."

Adam looked up at her, only to hear her solemn suggestion,

"I heard that Uncle picked a three-million-dollar sports car as your school gift, you could ask him to give you cash instead, then you’ll have the money."

Adam: ...

"Don’t even think about it."

It was just five million, he could afford it himself.

There’s no way he’d let anyone touch his sports car!

Reaching for his phone, just as he was about to transfer the money, he suddenly thought of something and asked her, "How much did you charge Lucas Jennings for the Jade Token?"

Even though Lucas had always boasted that Scarlett gave it to him, Adam instinctively felt Scarlett wasn’t that generous.

Sure enough, Scarlett raised two fingers.

At this, Adam felt slightly balanced. Two hundred thousand for one Jade Token, so his jade piece for five million wasn’t too bad.

Then Scarlett leisurely quoted the price, "Twenty thousand."

At the sound of twenty thousand, Adam was immediately taken aback.

Twenty thousand?!

"Why do you only charge Lucas twenty thousand, and it costs me five million?!"

This wasn’t fair!

Scarlett was unmoved, coolly saying,

"Lucas calls me sis. If you call me sis too, I could lower the price for you."

The corners of Adam’s mouth twitched suddenly.

Him, calling her, his younger cousin, sis?

In his dreams!

He’d rather spend the money! freeweɓnøvel.com

He quickly got the account details and transferred the five million over to her.

She slept without dreams.

The next day marked the last day of the reality show’s guests experiencing early training at the Taoism Academy.

Perhaps to give the guests a fresh experience, today’s morning class was not meditation but mountain climbing.

Led by Gregory Xander and Nathan White, a group of more than thirty people set off along the mountain path upwards.

After yesterday’s competition, Gregory kept his promise and didn’t target the reality show crew or the guests any longer.

But even so, the guests still lagged far behind everyone else.

They were also young guys in their twenties, but they couldn’t keep up with the new students from the Taoism Academy when climbing the mountain.

Could this really be a difference between the sun at eight or nine and the sun at ten?

Seeing the large group ahead disappearing out of sight, Ariel Zimmerman and the others almost felt like crying.

"The next time... if the next episode still makes me climb a mountain, I’m quitting this show."

Since the second episode, it seemed like they constantly had a hard time with mountain climbing!

Listening to Ariel’s teary complaint, Director Clark, in front of the monitor, sheepishly touched his nose.

Other than in the second episode, the show hadn’t specially arranged any climbing activities.

It just so happened that in the following episodes, they couldn’t escape the fate of mountain climbing.

Especially for this Taoism Academy episode, he really hadn’t expected the university to be halfway up a mountain...

And now it seemed the summit was also within their academy’s boundary...

As the guests huffed and puffed their way up, Amber Livingston found it particularly strenuous, given that he was the oldest and heftiest among the group.

Besides, having started as an online influencer, his most demanding exercise would be performing for his viewers...

Perhaps momentarily distracted, Amber suddenly slipped, his somewhat hefty body plummeting toward the cliff’s shrubbery.

The audience in the live streaming room and the staff nearby all gasped.

Before anyone could react, a hand suddenly appeared from behind Amber, effortlessly supporting him.
