The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: I Didn’t Turn You Into a Fool

Nicholas Woods heard this unique voice and realized it was the female companion Chase Jennings brought tonight.

He instinctively frowned, looking at Ava Zimmerman in front of him,

"What do you mean?"

Ava Zimmerman ignored him, turned around, and left after saying this.

Nicholas Woods watched as she quickly blended into the crowd of revelers on the other side, muttering under his breath, "Baffling."

What Nicholas Woods didn’t know was that after Ava shrugged him off, his facial features underwent a subtle change.

If Scarlett Jennings were here, she would notice a faint red hue mixed with black at the center of his brow.

This was a sign of an impending blood omen.

...

Elsewhere.

Chase Jennings watched Nicholas Woods leave before turning his gaze to Scarlett Jennings.

Even though he had stepped out unhesitatingly earlier, now that the people were gone, he couldn’t help but ask her,

"Scarlett Jennings, it wasn’t you who had someone make Azura Loomis disappear, right?"

It’s not that he had to suspect her, but since Nicholas Woods brought it up, he felt as though a new line of thought had opened up.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t groundless?

Considering the past grievances with Azura, and the sheer audacity to harm him, Chase felt this was something Scarlett could do.

Especially the latter incident.

Adam Jennings: ...

For a moment, he thought Chase had finally developed some sense—his mistake.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t be bothered to engage with him further.

As she lifted her leg to walk away, Chase unwillingly followed her,

"Was it you who had someone break my head? Be honest, and I promise I won’t hold it against you."

The reason he didn’t accuse her directly was that he knew she was in a different city that day.

But for something like this, it didn’t have to be her doing it personally.

Chase was simply after the truth, with no real intention to hold her accountable.

After all, she did release him from that doll, so consider it even.

He thought he was being quite generous.

But it didn’t stop Scarlett from looking at him like he was an idiot.

"If I wanted, I have a hundred other ways to turn you into a fool without hitting your head."

She said, then suddenly added seriously,

"But I can answer you responsibly, turning you into a fool was not my doing."

Seeing Scarlett respond so earnestly, Chase had to admit he felt relieved inside; he didn’t want his cousin to be so ruthless.

Just then, he vaguely sensed something was amiss.

"Wait a minute... Scarlett Jennings, you just called me an idiot!"

Adam Jennings watched with sympathy.

At least he realized it.

Can’t be completely stupid, right?

First it was Nicholas Woods, now his anger was riled up again by Scarlett, causing him to forget why he originally came to find someone in the first place.

As the three returned to the party, they found that Ava Zimmerman had already left early.

"The lady said she was feeling a bit unwell and left early,"

the server at the entrance relayed to Chase.

Adam Jennings thought, given how much Chase valued Ava, he would probably be worried and at least ask what happened or perhaps directly chase after her.
