The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Defeating Metaphysics with Magic?

Scarlett Jennings looked at Ariel Zimmerman, then at the new students beside her, whose emotions she had already manipulated.

She couldn’t quite figure out how she felt.

It was a familiar formula, but it had a different flavor than Isolde Garrison and Azura Loomis.

Scarlett suddenly understood what netizens meant—

We don’t actually hate the schemers; we just hate it when the target isn’t us.

Hmm... lesson learned.

Scarlett was a bit slow on the uptake; beside her, Sebastian Carew and Amber Livingston had already understood Ariel’s intentions the moment she spoke up.

They folded their arms and watched her perform.

The audience in the live broadcast room was initially angry at Gregory Xander, wanting nothing more than to rush in and argue on behalf of the guests.

As soon as Ariel spoke, everyone instantly understood her motive.

Especially Ariel’s fans.

In their words,

["It’s my Ariel, for sure. As long as she could move, no way she’d let just anybody take the floor for that long."]

["Ariel darling hasn’t lost her touch! Mama feels so gratified!"]

["A conceited guy like him deserves a good lesson from my Sister Ariel!"]

["I absolutely love this bluntness about Ariel, much better than those sneaky ones!"]

["Does this count as using magic to defeat mysticism?"]

["Why do I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Senior Brother Xander?"]

Apparently, the commotion had gone on too long; the teacher finally arrived under the prodding of a little paperman because they hadn’t yet seen the students go eat.

What they saw was Gregory Xander with a gloomy face being criticized and earnestly advised by several new students.

The teacher found it quite amusing and decided to watch a little longer.

It wasn’t until someone in the crowd noticed the teacher’s presence that they quickly stood back up.

The teacher finally put on a stern face and stepped forward, "Not hungry, are you? Don’t blame me if I don’t remind you, the cafeteria closes in fifteen minutes!"

As soon as these words were said, nobody cared to stay and bicker or watch the show any longer. Instantly, they all rushed to the cafeteria.

In the end, Gregory Xander never apologized. He turned and left, though his steps were inexplicably hurried.

Nathan White was dumbfounded, "It’s the first time I’ve seen Senior Brother Xander at a loss."

Ariel Zimmerman didn’t hide her accomplishment, "It was nothing, just a little effort on my part."

As she spoke, she pinched her little finger and then quickly took out a small mirror to tidy her face.

Because of the early morning gathering, Ariel didn’t have time to do her makeup, appearing all morning au naturel. Fortunately, she still looked admirable without makeup.

However, no matter how good she looked, a tear-streaked face wouldn’t do, and she hadn’t forgotten she was in front of the camera.

Scarlett Jennings had finished collecting breakfast for her, and Ariel had barely tidied herself by the time she returned.

She looked at Scarlett sitting quietly across from her, sipping porridge, and felt a twinge of envy,

"Being eighteen is so nice; look at that supple skin, fair and rosy, doesn’t even need makeup."

She noted Scarlett’s well-fitted Taoist robe and glanced at her own loose one, suddenly realizing something,

"Scarlett! Why does your Taoist robe fit you so much better than mine?!"

This was cheating!

No wonder she felt ugly today.

She hadn’t noticed before!

Now that she took a closer look, the other new students’ clothes seemed to fit well too.

Scarlett Jennings, expressionless and sipping the slightly bitter white porridge, finally raised her head at Ariel’s curiosity.

"Because the new students’ clothes are tailored to each person’s measurements in advance."

After Teacher Leander sent out all new students’ admissions notices, they had to report their sizes. By the time they arrived yesterday, her six sets of Taoist robes for summer, autumn, and winter were neatly stacked on her bed.

The same applied to the other new students.
