The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 426

Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Then let me give you a fortune-telling performance.

On the other side, at the Aerial Garden.

Scarlett Jennings had parted ways with Chase and Adam Jennings as soon as she heard Ava Zimmerman had left early.

It wasn’t as if they were particularly close; she’d only come with Adam because it was convenient.

More importantly, standing next to Chase, she was afraid of catching his "idiot energy."

Scarlett had come to the party tonight mainly to see Ava Zimmerman. Since Ava had left, she planned to leave as well.

But before leaving, she had to say goodbye to Alicia Sharp.

As tonight’s main host, Alicia was naturally surrounded by a crowd.

When Scarlett approached, she overheard someone asking about Alicia’s sister, Chloe Sharp.

Back when Dashiell Xalvadora, the first guest on the debut season of "Inspiration," was exposed to be a serial killer, discussions about him raged online for quite some time.

However, in their elite social circle, the focus of conversation wasn’t Dashiell but rather Chloe Sharp, who had been in a passionate relationship with him at the time.

"Your sister really has poor taste in men. But Dashiell Xalvadora’s been behind bars for months now—why is she still hiding from everyone? She’s your sister, after all. She went through so much, yet you didn’t bring her to your birthday party?"

People in the circle had more or less heard about the Sharp Family drama. Alicia Sharp had single-handedly reclaimed her rightful position as the eldest daughter.

Mad as she was, she made it work.

Most of the younger elites in the circle admired Alicia, but there were a few who couldn’t stand her smug demeanor. Bringing up Chloe was an obvious attempt to provoke her.

Unfortunately for them, Alicia wasn’t the type to cater even to her own father, much less someone else.

"Who doesn’t know that my relationship with Chloe Sharp is terrible? Why would I bring her to my birthday party?"

She purposefully paused, glancing at the person who brought it up and sneering,

"People who lack brains but love to flit around annoy me."

The surrounding young elites couldn’t resist chuckling at her words.

Alicia’s remark seemed directed at Chloe, but everyone knew who she was really talking about.

The person looked mortified but didn’t dare openly confront Alicia. They could only grab a drink to cover their embarrassment.

Alicia ignored them and continued chatting and laughing with others. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Scarlett and cheerfully waved her over,

"Scarlett, come over here!"

Scarlett walked over, immediately drawing the attention of several young elites nearby.

They were genuinely curious about her.

It wasn’t just because of her online fame but also due to her prediction about the kindergarten field trip accident, which ended up saving a group of kids.

Some of those kids were the siblings of people present at this very party.

For once, they had a chance to see her up close, and everyone was eager to interact. Hearing she was about to leave, a few instantly started making a fuss, including Phaedra York, who had been livestreaming earlier.

"Scarlett Jennings, it’s Alicia’s birthday today. You just got here, and now you’re leaving? That’s a bit rude, isn’t it?"

"Yeah, you don’t even show up to most of our gatherings. Do you look down on us or what?"

If this had been a more formal banquet, perhaps they wouldn’t have behaved like this.

But tonight’s crowd was all similar in age, and with no elders keeping watch, even though they knew Scarlett wasn’t quite one of them, they couldn’t help but tease her a little.

Scarlett could sense that while a couple of people weren’t well-meaning, most had no bad intentions. She didn’t want to spoil the mood, so she thought for a moment and said,

"How about I perform a fortune-telling for you?"

Alicia had originally intended to help her smooth things over, since Scarlett was her guest. But before Alicia could step in, Scarlett took the initiative to respond.

The young elites paused briefly, surprised at Scarlett’s directness, then quickly grew interested.

"Yes, yes! Let’s do it!"

They’d seen Scarlett on variety programs showcasing her ghost-hunting and fortune-telling skills. She’d even accurately predicted that Winsor Family heiress was scammed out of thirty million in pocket money by her scumbag boyfriend.

Many had long wanted to experience it firsthand.
