The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Scarlett Jennings Is in a Relationship

As soon as Selene Wright spoke, Lewis Harper immediately shut his mouth. He looked at Selene in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly,

"You—you can’t..."

Isn’t this blatant bullying?!

Alicia Sharp couldn’t help but laugh out loud as she watched from the side,

"You deliberately pursued Selene before, wasn’t it because of her status as the Wright Family’s eldest daughter? When you used her family background to benefit your own, you should have realized that her family could help you, but they could also ruin you."

The so-called Backlash works exactly like this.

Scarlett Jennings stole a look at Alicia, surprised by her clarity in such matters.

Over there, Lewis Harper’s face turned ugly upon hearing Alicia’s words.

Judging by Selene Wright’s expression, he knew she was serious.

It was either letting her vent with a beating, or awaiting the Wright Family’s retaliation against the Harper Family.

Lewis Harper basically didn’t have a choice.

Thus, for the next ten minutes, the private room was filled with pitiful wailing.

As Selene Wright was leaving, she even had someone take the ring from that mistress’s hand before marching out of the private room in high spirits with her group of friends.

Because she had vented her anger, Selene’s face didn’t carry a trace of sadness—instead, she looked utterly refreshed and relaxed. Upon stepping out, she glanced at Scarlett Jennings with admiration and said,

"You’re amazing! How did you know he took the ring? Did you figure out in the upstairs lounge that I’d been cheated on?"

It was clear that Selene Wright’s personality was truly carefree and open.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t answer her question directly; instead, she walked to the restaurant entrance and reminded her,

"You have a VIP card for this hotel, right? Has it been a while since you checked the account?"

Selene Wright nodded instinctively. "I do, but how..."

Mid-sentence, as if realizing something, her face instantly darkened. Within moments, she rushed to grab the manager and demanded to check the account. Upon checking, she nearly stormed back to the private room to thrash everyone again.

"That shameless woman stayed at the hotel using my card!"

Selene Wright was thoroughly disgusted.

The nearby trust-fund heirs were even more astonished.

They simply couldn’t understand this behavior.

Could someone be that poor?

Weren’t we told his family was also in business?

Scarlett Jennings didn’t speak further but offered a faint smile, quietly savoring her moment of triumph.

A group of them made their way back to the party, and Scarlett Jennings randomly performed three divinations. Once done, she brought up the idea of leaving again.

This time, Alicia Sharp didn’t try to stop her. She understood Scarlett’s willingness to showcase her abilities tonight was for her sake.

Though some participants felt their fun had been cut short, they didn’t dare compel her to stay.

Having witnessed Scarlett Jennings’s skills firsthand, they wouldn’t risk offending her.

Their families had taught them well: when encountering someone genuinely capable, you either form alliances or respect them from a distance.

Some even escorted Scarlett Jennings to the door.

Adam Jennings was among them, his expression slightly complicated as he observed the bustling crowd.

A few trust-fund heirs close to him quietly expressed their envy.

"You’re lucky to have a talented cousin like her. You must be secretly thrilled, huh?"

Adam Jennings: ...

Not really.

The main issue was, this talented cousin currently didn’t think much of him.

Then, amid the crowd, someone murmured quietly,

"But in the future, marriage alliances might be tricky."

"Yeah, someone this extraordinary—who could possibly dominate her?"

Adam Jennings’s sharp ears caught the whispers. He frowned slightly and glanced at them coldly, saying,

"This isn’t something you need to worry about—Scarlett Jennings already has someone."

Upon hearing this "someone," the nearby group’s eyes immediately brightened with curiosity, and they clamored for gossip,

"Who is it? Is he from the Taoism Academy too?"

"Was the stuff online real?"

Still, since Samuel Chalmers was here, and as the host, Alicia Sharp had no choice but to step forward, albeit nervously,

"Mr. Chalmers, what brings you here...?"

Samuel Chalmers cast a faint glance at Alicia Sharp, his expression emotionless but his tone plain,

"I’m here to pick her up."

As he spoke, his dark eyes landed on Scarlett Jennings, whose playful witch costume gave her an even more striking presence than in her viral photos.

She looked... beautiful.

Samuel Chalmers turned directly to Scarlett Jennings and asked, "Ready to go?"

His casual tone made it sound as if he’d passed by and just happened to ask.

But... who would believe that?

Scarlett Jennings, having just adjusted to the overwhelming aura from the Great Demon King, didn’t overthink it and simply nodded, saying, "Ready."

"Let’s go then; the car’s downstairs."

Samuel Chalmers signaled towards the elevator, and immediately, an eager heir stepped forward to press the button.

The elevator doors reopened once more. Samuel Chalmers gestured for Scarlett Jennings to enter first before stepping in himself.

Adam Jennings, ready to follow, met Samuel Chalmers’s calm, piercing gaze at the elevator entrance.

"Are you heading back too?" Samuel asked.

Adam Jennings opened his mouth, wanting to say he came with Scarlett Jennings,

Surely he was supposed to go back with her too?

But meeting Samuel Chalmers’s emotionless yet intimidating gaze, he inexplicably... chickened out.

"I... I’m not heading back."

Adam Jennings stepped back, glancing between Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers in the elevator before inhaling deeply,

"Please trouble Brother Samuel to take Scarlett home."

"Sure."

Samuel Chalmers responded blandly as the elevator doors shut decisively.

Once the elevator confirmed its descent and wouldn’t open again unexpectedly, the heirs standing around the entrance finally erupted.
