The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 346

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Incompatible Personalities

Since Ismeria Jennings absolutely refused to stay in the hospital for observation, Michael Jennings and Odessa could only take her home.

After quickly packing up and just about to leave, they saw a young man dressed in a modified Taoist robe with braids walking towards them. Clearly in his early twenties, yet he posed with an air of maturity and asked,

"Are you Uncle Henry from the Jennings Family?"

Michael Jennings was initially startled, but he quickly recognized the young man’s identity,

"You are... the student... the friend Scarlett spoke of?"

"It’s me."

Michael Jennings immediately expressed his gratitude again.

Although it was his niece who provided the talisman that ensured their safety, having the person quickly found was largely thanks to this man in front of him.

"Uncle Henry, you’re too courteous, Jiang Daoist is my fellow classmate, helping out is only right."

As Ashton Todd spoke, he pulled out his phone showing a QR code, smiling and said, "Just scan this code."

Fearing Michael Jennings might not be aware, Ashton Todd reminded him, "Jiang Daoist mentioned that you would settle the fees directly with her... she told you about the fees, right?"

Michael Jennings was startled again but quickly recalled the one million mentioned by Scarlett Jennings during their phone call, and without hesitation, he transferred the money.

One million in exchange for his daughter’s safety, Michael Jennings felt it was not expensive at all.

After this ordeal, Michael Jennings decided to establish better relationships with these Mystical Sect folks and to never again dismiss metaphysics as mere trickery.

As Ashton Todd watched the one million transfer without a blink from the opposite side, his phone soon showed a notification of the received amount.

Ashton Todd’s fingers trembled slightly as he opened it; seeing the string of zeros, he embarrassingly gulped.

It was his first time seeing so many zeros, and he stared at them for several moments.

Confident that he had counted correctly, his heart suddenly felt like countless fireworks were exploding.

One million.

Really, one million!!

He, he made a fortune!

God knows he used to earn only five hundred per Geomancy consultation!!

Indeed, his decision to stick with classmate Jiang back then was right!

After receiving the money, Ashton Todd declined Michael Jennings’s offer to send him to a hotel to rest and rushed back to the academy overnight.

Joking.

The cost for one night’s rest in a hotel, he was certainly not going to waste such unjustified money.

...

Scarlett Jennings and Luca Jennings returned together from North City on the third day.

They thought Ismeria, a child just having gone through a kidnapping, would somehow be subdued, but upon their return, not only was she unscathed, but she was also very excited.

Seeing Scarlett Jennings, she ran over and started chattering about how she used the Immobilization Talisman to freeze the driver that day and how she used the Amulet to protect herself.

In these two days, every member of the Jennings Family, and even several of her close friends, had heard her recount it.

Lucas later heard a detailed version of the story and couldn’t help asking Scarlett,

"Sis, why didn’t you tell me that activating the Jade Token required chanting ’Hurry, like a law decree’?"

No wonder his Jade Token suddenly cracked last time; it must have been because he used it incorrectly.

Scarlett: ...

She herself didn’t know that chanting a spell was required for the Protective Jade, how could she tell him?

But seeing the two younger ones obviously deeply believing in this procedure, Scarlett couldn’t be bothered to correct them and simply said,

"Now you know."

Ismeria immediately looked smug.

"I’m the smartest!"
