The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 319

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: I Know You, Student Ashton Todd

The boy followed all the way, but did not pester them anymore.

Only when the three of them reached the front gate of the academy halfway up the mountain did he approach them once again,

"Are you tired from the trip up the mountain, young friend? Do you need help sending this big brother down the mountain? One hundred dollars, and I assure you he’ll be safely escorted down."

Even Scarlett Jennings hadn’t expected the other party to be so "persistent."

Did he really have to make a hundred bucks from her today?

The foreman Xu was equally shocked, his eyes widened again, and then he refused,

"No need! It’s just going down the mountain! I can walk down by myself! Stop pestering our young miss!"

Foreman Xu thought the boy had some ulterior motive, and even made a fierce face while glaring, trying to scare him away.

Since the journey up had been normal, and Foreman Xu had followed Scarlett Jennings without really getting trapped by any confusing arrays, he didn’t think much of the long stairway.

As he spoke, he put down the luggage and was about to go down the mountain by himself when Scarlett Jennings stopped him,

"Wait a moment."

When Foreman Xu turned around, he saw Scarlett Jennings turning to the boy, yet seriously bargaining with him,

"One hundred is too much, fifty."

The boy tried to reason, "I have to come back up after sending him down, a round trip, one hundred is not too much."

Scarlett Jennings coldly breaks in, "Just fifty, if you won’t take him, I can do it myself."

Saying this, she glanced at the bored little paperman on her shoulder.

The boy had noticed that little paperman earlier, and seeing this, he no longer hesitated, "Deal!"

Then he continued somewhat dazedly, "Consider it a special introductory service discount for you, young friend!"

Scarlett Jennings: ...

Meaning he still intended to make money off her in the future.

Without a word, Scarlett Jennings silently took out her cell phone, opened the payment code.

The transaction of fifty dollars was quickly completed by both parties.

The bargaining and the payment took less than a minute, so fast that Foreman Xu hadn’t even reacted.

Wait, did they actually just pay him?

Did that mean it actually cost his young miss money, and were his efforts delivering luggage up the mountain in vain??

However, Scarlett Jennings didn’t give anyone room to refuse, if it wasn’t for this man, she would have planned to send them down the mountain using her little paperman just like last time she sent Luca Jennings and the others.

But if a problem can be solved with fifty dollars, there’s no need to use her Golden Light little paperman.

The boy quickly completed the transaction and briskly scanned the area, quickly placing the two suitcases at a certain spot at the entrance, and then turned to call Foreman Xu to go down the mountain.

Seeing Scarlett Jennings look at his luggage untouched, he simply said,

"Busy yourself, young friend. That spot is my lucky spot, the luggage won’t be stolen there, no need for you to keep an eye on it."

Hearing this, Scarlett Jennings no longer lingered, pulled her suitcase, swiped her card and walked straight into the academy gate.

Upon entering, the towering Benedict Stone Body was still there, and despite not seeing it for the first time, the Benedict Stone Body still exuded a majestic pressure.

It was class time, so there were almost no students in sight, and Scarlett Jennings simply pulled her suitcase and walked past the Benedict Stone Body.

Scarlett and Stella Gibson had just entered the classroom when they received quite a few curious glances from the new students.

Due to the previous live broadcast and the ensuing month and a half of training together, most of the new students had a favorable impression of their classmate who had defeated Gregory Xander.

As they greeted her, some mentioned the incident during the fifth episode, and some talked about Ianthe Lawson’s changing appearance.

But the main consensus was that their previous judgments in the group were correct, and it was the production crew that had experienced the unusual incident.

Knowing that many had followed the live broadcast, Scarlett didn’t explain much and exchanged a few words before she and Stella found seats to settle down.

As they sat down, they came face to face with a familiar face in the row in front.

It was the boy who had taken fifty yuan from her the day before.

He too was dressed in a modified Taoist Robe, although his hair was a bit messy and there were faint shadows under his eyes, indicating that he hadn’t slept well the night before.

Despite this, he didn’t look too dejected, but rather spirited.

"Young friend, we meet again."

The boy greeted Scarlett warmly, "Didn’t expect us to be classmates. What a coincidence! Let’s get to know each other, my name is Ashton Todd. Looking forward to getting along."

As for what he was looking forward to, he didn’t specify, but they both understood each other well.

Scarlett looked at him, her expression calm and collected as she nodded,

"I know you."

She said,

"The Ashton Todd who was tricked into going to Myan North and nearly didn’t make it back."

Ashton Todd: ...
