The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Chapter 296 This Doesn’t Count as Lying

Scarlett Jennings informed the production crew, then left directly in Samuel Chalmers’ car.

No one saw Samuel Chalmers’ face clearly from beginning to end, so naturally, they didn’t know his identity, but from a distance, they saw the scene of the two standing together just now.

"This person... he wouldn’t be Scarlett’s boyfriend, would he?"

Ariel Zimmerman watched the car drive away and then whispered gossip to a few nearby guests.

Amber Livingston suddenly widened her eyes with an old father’s demeanor, "She’s only a few years old?! Impossible!"

Evander Simpson also found it unlikely, "People of the Mystical Sect, single-mindedly focused on the Way..."

Ariel Zimmerman was dissatisfied, "Can’t people from the Mystical Sect fall in love? What’s the logic?"

Ianthe Lawson also softly expressed agreement, "Master Jennings is eighteen this year, so it’s normal to fall in love."

As they discussed, they each got into the cars arranged by the production crew, not noticing a staff member quietly turning off the camera and carefully hiding their phone behind them.

...

On the other side, Samuel Chalmers took Scarlett Jennings directly to a private room in a nearby restaurant.

Originally, he wanted to take her directly back to the hotel, but considering the impact of going to a hotel room together might not be good for her, he changed the location.

Upon entering the private room, Scarlett Jennings gently placed the Yellow Paper Lantern into Samuel Chalmers’ palm.

The strands of Resentful Energy within the lantern dissipated instantly upon touching the Golden Light in Samuel Chalmers’ palm.

The next second, the Big Ghost sprang out of the Yellow Talisman Lantern.

Originally, with her century-long cultivation, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t confine her in just one Yellow Talisman Lantern, but she’d stayed inside peacefully due to their previous agreement.

Now that the surrounding Resentful Energy was gone, the Big Ghost simply manifested herself in front of Samuel Chalmers.

Seeing Samuel Chalmers’ form, the Big Ghost’s eyes widened with obvious amazement.

"This young man... No, young lady."

The Big Ghost spoke initially, then realized her mistake, quickly correcting herself before waving her hand, instantly changing her attire from a man’s outfit to a woman’s dress.

Her originally spirited features suddenly softened.

She gracefully bowed to Samuel Chalmers,

"This young woman, Sophie Harper, greets you, sir."

Her voice intentionally maintained a feminine tone but was awkward due to unfamiliarity.

Not to mention Samuel Chalmers, even Scarlett Jennings felt a headache watching this.

Seeing the Big Ghost’s reaction, a sense of foreboding filled Scarlett Jennings’ heart.

Indeed, the next second, she heard her say,

"Master, I don’t want to be a formal Ghost Cultivator anymore; I want to be this gentleman’s Ghost Servant! Just consider it a repayment of his great kindness."

She spoke lightly, the whole ghost eagerly moving toward Samuel Chalmers.

Scarlett Jennings knew this would happen, so she stepped in front decisively, holding a Thunder Talisman in her hand, full of threatening tone,

"Stand back."

Sophie Harper was somewhat afraid of the Thunder Talisman in her hand, mainly not wanting to fight her, yet she still looked at her with longing,

"Master, I can make a contract with this gentleman."

Compared to being a Ghost Cultivator, she preferred following this gentleman.

Scarlett Jennings rolled her eyes at this.

"Is this a matter of making a contract?"

Many have wanted to make contracts with big figures like him.

Even Dashiell could only barely manage to stay after much hardship, and she’s just a mere Big Ghost, dreaming of impossible things.
