The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Does Your Brother Still Lack a Younger Brother?

The young man suddenly asked a question, and Sophie Harper’s heart instantly leaped into her throat. She subconsciously looked toward Scarlett Jennings.

She knew this—Scarlett had always wanted to send the newborn spirit away, but previously, its weight wasn’t enough to be sent off.

Handing it over to Sophie later was also with the hope that she could help the little spirit quickly restore its shadow energy.

Over these past few days, the little one had been nourished by Sophie’s energy until it was fair and chubby.

Its weight was more than enough by now.

But to send it away...

Sophie Harper was truly reluctant.

She opened her mouth, ready to say something to persuade Scarlett to let the little one stay, but Scarlett was already speaking,

"Still not enough."

Scarlett had a calm expression—if Sophie didn’t know the inside story, she might have been deceived.

But Sophie quickly caught on and nodded emphatically, "Yes! Still far from enough! Restoring shadow energy for a newborn spirit is no easy task!"

The young man simply looked deeply at the person and ghost before him but raised no doubts.

Hearing that the weight wasn’t sufficient, he could only shake his head in disappointment and leave with Ezra Wright’s soul.

As soon as the delivery guy left, Sophie Harper floated after Scarlett Jennings into the bedroom and eagerly asked,

"Scarlett, we’re not sending the little one away, right?"

Scarlett Jennings glanced at Sophie Harper’s expression but didn’t directly say whether they would send it off. Instead, she remarked,

"The Underworld is overcrowded. Even if it went down, it’d be stuck in a queue."

Sophie Harper immediately chimed in,

"Exactly! You said it—a newborn spirit going down won’t have any ghosts to guide it, so it may not even manage to queue properly. It might even get bullied! I’d better trouble myself to keep taking care of it for now."

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but cast another glance at Sophie, inwardly thinking that she might have misunderstood the little spirit.

Don’t be fooled by its small size—it’s hardly a soft little bun that anyone can knead at will.

Still, since the two seemed to get along, Scarlett decided not to interfere.

"Alright, you can keep care of it for now."

A dreamless night followed.

Scarlett Jennings slept until eight the next morning.

When she checked her phone, she received a message from Ashton Todd, inviting her to come over for breakfast.

After a quick wash, Scarlett headed straight to the neighboring room.

Knowing that they had been unable to return while carrying out their academy tasks yesterday, Donovan Jennings had specially booked nearby five-star hotel rooms for her and Nathan White.

This arrangement had been a blessing—despite staying up late, Scarlett didn’t feel tired.

She rang the doorbell of the next suite, and Ashton Todd quickly opened the door, enthusiastically ushering her in,

"Come eat breakfast!"

Walking inside, Scarlett Jennings saw the dining table covered in a variety of hotel breakfasts. Judging by the assortment, Scarlett suspected he might have ordered one of everything from the buffet menu.

Nathan White was already sitting in one corner, stealing shy glances at Scarlett before lowering his head to focus on his small cake.

Scarlett sat down and picked some porridge while casually discussing the matter of sending off Ezra Wright last night—her first freshman mission had been completed.

After hearing the details, Ashton Todd sighed, "This morning, the senior students and I checked the available spiritual affairs. The tasks for initial rank were all claimed. Looks like we’ll have to head to the neighboring city next."

Since all the new students had come down from the mountain at once to tackle missions, the experienced seniors had claimed three missions each in one go.

The tasks in Sea City had been swiftly claimed overnight.

Nathan White had only taken one yesterday, and when he wanted another today, he found there were none left in the city.

"I—I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this."

Nathan White apologized as he put down the little cake in his hands, his head nearly dipped into the frosting in misery.

Scarlett Jennings could only comfort him, "It’s fine. Travel is convenient anyway."
