The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Ava Zimmerman’s Voice

Scarlett Jennings originally planned not to return this weekend.

However, thinking of Alicia Sharp’s matter, she still made the trip.

When she arrived home, it wasn’t too late. The sunset glow cast over the Jennings Family garden, and as Scarlett Jennings got out of the car, she felt a little dizzy.

In the garden, Grandma Jennings was sitting in a wicker chair, leaning forward, brushing the fur of a small pretty creature lying on a small table beside her.

It seemed the posture wasn’t too comfortable, as she tried to negotiate with it,

"Little Darling, why don’t you come lie on Grandma’s lap? It’ll be easier to brush you that way."

The little fox, called Little Darling, turned its head arrogantly, refusing to move an inch.

Ismeria Jennings was also next to her, hearing Grandma’s words and emphatically correcting her,

"Grandma, it’s not called Little Darling, it’s called Pretty Princess!"

"It’s Pretty, but its nickname is Little Darling," Grandma Jennings replied. "Don’t block me; go inside and have some snacks."

Ismeria pouted as her dear Grandma dismissed her unceremoniously, turning around, she immediately spotted Scarlett standing at the garden gate, her face lighting up with excitement.

She then picked up her skirt and ran over to her, complaining,

"Sister Scarlett! Grandma’s been stealing Pretty Princess from me lately."

As Ismeria spoke, the small Pretty had obviously caught Scarlett’s scent and, unlike before, did not quickly rush towards her.

Instead, it got up slowly from the small table, ignored Grandma, held its tiny chin high, and walked towards Scarlett with elegant, haughty fox steps.

Scarlett knew at a glance that this fox must have done something while she was away from home.

However, seeing Grandma in such a manner did genuinely surprise her.

Hmm... wasn’t she supposed to dislike any furry pets?

Here, the small Pretty reached Scarlett’s feet, swiftly scratching at her pant leg, climbing up into Scarlett’s arms.

Noticing Scarlett holding a small wicker box for turtles, the little fox squinted its eyes.

Then, faking a stretch, it kicked the small wicker box in Scarlett’s hand, sending it flying.

Scarlett: ...

Grandma watched the whole thing, her expression complex yet awkward.

Complex because the little fox was not particularly fond of her, awkward because Scarlett caught her grooming a pet she once couldn’t stand.

Luckily, Scarlett didn’t prolong her grandmother’s embarrassment.

She walked straight inside.

Soon after entering, Lucas Jennings also came back, having just finished school. Hearing she was back, he dropped his backpack and rushed to her room.

He wanted to complain to his sister!

After listening carefully, Scarlett sighed, well, it was about Chase Jennings again.

"You say he dropped the lawsuit?"

"Yes!"

Lucas said angrily, "I don’t know what my brother is thinking, those Harper siblings slandered you and our family online and he just let it go?"

Scarlett felt as though the house had changed quite a bit in the few days she hadn’t been home.

Especially the matter of Chase dropping the lawsuit.

Although he indeed wasn’t hurt due to the amulet, but... Chase was clearly not the forgiving type.

"Do you know why?" Scarlett asked casually.

"Wasn’t it because of Ava Zimmerman? Who knows what she told Brother Chase, but he actually decided to let those two off."

After explaining, Lucas seemed to realize his blatant disapproval of his brother was a bit extreme, so he added,

"At least he remembered to demand the two million in compensation."

When Scarlett heard Ava Zimmerman’s name, she had a feeling it was her again.

To this day, Scarlett still didn’t know what Ava’s intentions were in approaching Chase.

If it was just for herself, fine, but she always liked to display her Power of Word Spirit in irrelevant matters.

...

Sea City, in the city garden community.

Fiona Harper, holding a bag, quickly walked out of the community gate and soon got into a rideshare car.

Arriving at a nearby hotel, she directly knocked on a room door.

When the door opened, it was Harry Whitley inside.

Both were detained for several days, and though they had been released for a day, their faces still showed some fatigue, but that didn’t hinder the affection in their eyes.

"Harry!"

As soon as she entered, Fiona threw herself into Harry’s embrace; after experiencing those dark days together, they could no longer hide their feelings for each other.

Harry also held the girl in his arms tightly, and only after a long moment did he finally let her go,

"Fiona, rest assured, I’m working on a way regarding the two million; I won’t make things hard for you."

He paused and then said, 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Your brother was retaliated against by the Jennings Family because of our situation, and your family surely hates me now."

Fiona quickly responded,

"He was arrested for instigating someone to commit suicide, what’s that got to do with us?!"

At this, she felt quite aggrieved,

"It’s clearly his fault, yet Mom and Dad blame me instead? I’ve always known they prefer my brother, and they’ve always been dismissive of me...

Even the Jennings Family’s demand for two million in compensation, they only agreed to pay half."

Upon hearing that Fiona’s parents were only willing to pay half, a hint of urgency flashed through Harry’s eyes. Before he could inquire, Fiona continued,

"But it doesn’t matter; I’ve already thought of a way to handle the other million."

She said as she opened her handbag, proudly showing its contents,

"Look, I secretly brought out the jewelry my mom treasures. Once we sell it, we’ll have the money!"
