The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 618

Chapter 618: Chapter 618: The Real Heiress, Scarlett Jennings

"So you’re so poor because you donated all your money to the orphanage?"

Ashton Todd met the inquisitive gazes of several people, his eyes drifting before he sighed,

"What else could it be? Our orphanage is poor, unlike those in big cities where kind-hearted rich ladies regularly donate large sums..."

As he said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on Scarlett Jennings.

The genuine rich heiress, Scarlett Jennings: ...

Seeing the others showing expressions of disbelief, Ashton Todd chuckled, confessing,

"To be honest, I am pretty poor, but not to the extent of going hungry. You know, I can’t keep money according to my destiny.

I figured since this money is destined to disappear, I might as well donate it all to the orphanage, where the director can at least offer me and my master a meal..."

Indeed, although he was adopted by his master, since Ashton Todd kept donating his share to the orphanage, the old fortune teller simply set up his fortune-telling stall next to the orphanage to save him the dual routes.

Later, they even moved directly next to the orphanage.

Ashton Todd left, and yet it was as if he never left.

Ashton Todd was originally one of the older kids in the orphanage, and he raised several children there, including Seraphina Stanton.

After he learned divination, he knew Seraphina Stanton’s birth chart was special, so he took extra care of her and advised the director and her about it.

While the director didn’t understand these matters, he thought it was just like panda blood.

When something is rare, someone will inevitably target it.

There are wealthy families with panda blood who would adopt such children just to use them as emergency blood bags for their own children.

Thus, the director was particularly cautious about Seraphina’s adoption, which is why he was so anxious to find Ashton Todd when Seraphina was "abducted".

...

After seeing her, the group left the hospital together.

As they were leaving the hospital, Gregory Xander’s phone rang, but he just took a glance at the incoming call and decisively hung up.

Scarlett Jennings glanced at him and asked,

"Is it the Family Head?"

"Yes." Gregory Xander replied, "He’s urging me to return to the Xander Family."

On the day he followed Scarlett Jennings’ family jet back to Sea City, Preston Xander absolutely disapproved.

After all, in his view, Gregory Xander wasn’t without a home, and he could completely return to the Xander Family to recuperate.

Seeing Gregory Xander’s indifferent expression, Ashton Todd suddenly asked,

"Now that you know about Elysia Xander, does your dad want to mend things with you and have you stay in Capital Metropolitan?"

Ashton Todd’s remark wasn’t baseless, given that such a situation in the Xander family would make Preston hope for Gregory Xander’s return, both for public and family reasons.

Besides settling the other family members, it was also to show others that the rightful heir of the Xander family is good.

Elysia Xander is just an exceptional case.

Moreover, they all knew Gregory fell out with the Family Head because of Elysia, and left for Sea City in anger.

Now understanding the Family Head’s reasoning for favoring Elysia, any reasonably-minded person would understand and forgive him.

Unfortunately, their Senior Brother Xander is very observant of rules and duty.

Ashton Todd was worried Senior Brother Xander might be swayed by his father’s gestures alone.

Then their Sea City Academy would really lose out.

Upon hearing Ashton Todd’s words, Gregory Xander merely glanced at him placidly,

"Just because he wants to mend fences, does it mean I have to respond?"

Facing the slightly raised eyebrows of Scarlett Jennings and the others, Gregory Xander merely stated,

"I might not know much about the matter with Elysia, but over the years, I can pretty much guess."

Keeping Elysia around might have been due to guilt on one hand, and on the other, to set up a competitor for me.

He wanted me to know that the Xander family didn’t only have one heir.
