The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624 -624: Familiar Golden Light—Sorry for Being Late

“Wait, wait, wait!”

Ashton Todd and Stella Gibson were the first to react, immediately stepping forward to separate Scarlett Jennings from the others, their expressions no longer harmonious as when they were gossiping together just now.

“Are you all here to recruit?”

And right in front of us Sea City people!

Perhaps the commotion here was too big, soon the instructors from North City College and Capital Academy sensed something was wrong and quickly walked over.

The North City instructor had already heard what Violet Allen just said, and promptly stepped forward to say,

“That’s right, we at North City would be delighted to welcome a student like Ms. Scarlett. She can certainly consider us.”

The Capital Academy instructor smiled and said,

“You’re undervaluing Ms. Scarlett’s ability a bit. With her talent in talismanic magic, she can certainly take on the role of an instructor for the subject.”

Turning to Scarlett, he continued,

“We at Capital Academy specially invite Ms. Scarlett to be a guest lecturer at our academy. You can state any conditions you may have.”

Seeing two more parties suddenly appear, everyone present was bewildered.

Before the Sea City instructor could defend their own academy’s student, unexpectedly, a young voice coldly interjected,

“Scarlett Jennings, haven’t you already agreed to our Mystic Regulation Office’s invitation?”

What???

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and upon seeing Callum Yuan from the Spritelife Group, they were even more bewildered.

The Mystic Regulation Office also invited Scarlett Jennings?

What’s it got to do with the Mystic Regulation Office?!

“Ms. Scarlett! You want to join the Mystic Regulation Office?!”

The instructors from several academies looked incredulously at Scarlett Jennings.

Even Scarlett herself was inexplicably a little troubled at the moment, and could only first explain about the Mystic Regulation Office,

“I didn’t agree, I only said I’d consider it…”

The instructors from the academies immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They were just saying, how could Ms. Scarlett consider such a futile idea?

The Mystic Regulation Office, is that a place where ordinary human masters can enter?

Before they could continue to persuade Scarlett, Callum Yuan expressed dissatisfaction upon hearing her words.

“Why do you still need to consider? Is it because you look down on us demons that you refuse to agree to join the Mystic Regulation Office?”

As soon as Callum said this, several juvenile demons nearby immediately gathered around.

“What? What? Who looks down on us demons?”

Hill was at the front,

“How dare you look down on our national treasures?!”

Scarlett and the others: …

Great, now they’re even more troubled.

Without getting entangled with the juvenile demons, Scarlett directly looked at Callum Yuan.

“If I’m not mistaken, you’re not even a demon from the Mystic Regulation Office, so why should I consider anything or tell you about it?”

Besides, if she wasn’t mistaken, this juvenile demon had harbored unexplained hostility towards her since the first match.

Scarlett thought he would be the least willing for her to get involved in the Mystic Regulation Office.

Just as Callum was about to explain, Hill interrupted, 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“Callum may not have joined the Mystic Regulation Office yet, but it’s only a matter of time!”

That Mystic Regulation Office had said that as long as they won the academy competition, they could join early.

Though they didn’t win this time, they did participate at least.

Surely, there should be a spot for participation, right~

Capital City’s night was a bit cold. As Scarlett ran, the chill wind lifted her hair and cooled her nose slightly, yet a warmth surged in her heart.

She didn’t know why, but seeing him again, she felt an inexplicable grievance.

Where was he when he promised to wait for her to return?

She returned, but he wasn’t there.

Samuel Chalmers took a few subconscious steps forward as she ran to him. When she reached him, he placed his hands on her shoulders to steady her slightly swaying body.

He opened his mouth, intending to say something, but heard her muffled voice ask,

“Where did you go?…”

Her voice wasn’t the usual clear tone, faintly tinged with worry and a hint of easily missed grievance.

Samuel’s eyes shifted slightly, then he softly explained,

“I had to deal with some things, got delayed a bit, sorry, I’m late.”

His apology was gentle, inexplicably causing Scarlett’s heart to quiver and feel a bit uncomfortable.

“The academy competitions only officially ended today; you are not late,”

Scarlett said, “so there’s no need to apologize.”

Even without a definite appointment,

even if there was an appointment,

even if he truly was late, she never needed him to apologize.

She was just… worried about him.

If she had some inexplicable concern for him before, now seeing him, that concern in her heart finally eased.

When she saw his appearance just now and the distinct change in his gaze upon looking at her, Scarlett knew something had happened to him.

The golden light on Samuel Chalmers was fainter.

And it was even fainter than before.
