The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: As Expected, the Next Step for Internet Celebrities is Debuting

Scarlett Jennings fell silent for just a moment after hearing Quincy Zimmerman’s words over the phone, and then she directly activated the video function on her phone.

Quincy Zimmerman on the other end answered without hesitation. The man who had been sharp-dressed and poised just the day before now visibly appeared haggard.

Through the video, Scarlett Jennings observed the bluish tint under Quincy Zimmerman’s eyes and the faint shadow energy around him and spoke,

"There is indeed some lingering shadow energy on you, but the other party probably just meant to play a joke on you. They’re no longer around."

Scarlett’s tone was calm, yet Quincy Zimmerman, upon hearing this, seemed about to pop his eyes out of his head, his voice breaking in disbelief,

"A joke?!"

He damn near died, you know?!

What kind of joke is that?!

At that time, he even thought he was about to ascend to heaven then and there!

Scarlett maintained her composure, ignoring his shock entirely, "When I gave you the talisman, there was no sign of death on your face."

This indicated that even though he had encountered a ghost, the ghost had no intention to kill him.

In the realm of malevolent spirits, as long as one doesn’t intend to kill from the get-go, it’s considered just playing a joke.

Judging from the shadow energy lingering on Quincy, he had indeed encountered a malevolent ghost.

The spirit had been injured by her amulet and would not bother Quincy again for the time being.

Therefore, Scarlett was in no rush.

Quincy felt on the verge of tears hearing her words.

So as long as he wasn’t dead, he could be tormented just like that, huh?

Even after hearing Scarlett say the ghost had left, Quincy was still uneasy.

He insisted on purchasing a few more amulets from Scarlett.

While Scarlett thought it unnecessary, she wouldn’t refuse business knocking at her door,

"Peace charms are three thousand each, amulets are six thousand each..."

"What’s the difference?"

"Peace charms enhance one’s aura, ensuring smoothness, while amulets protect oneself, capable of resisting calamities."

Scarlett hadn’t finished speaking when Quincy impatiently interjected,

"I’ll take ten peace charms and ten amulets!"

Scarlett: "... No hoarding or reselling of talismans."

Quincy laughed bitterly, "I don’t mean that. It’s just that you know, our production team is in the preparatory stage right now, and we’ll definitely come across a lot of these things, so I must prepare for the frontline workers in advance."

There was nothing wrong with his reasoning, and Scarlett reluctantly accepted it.

Quincy was about to confirm his problems once more when his eyes flicked, noticing what seemed to be a doll resembling a ginseng-child sitting on Scarlett Jennings’ shoulder.

Blinking, that thing... appeared to be moving.

Quincy suddenly felt a chill spread throughout his body, even his hand holding his phone trembled slightly.

"Scar... Scarlett Master... on your shoulder, it seems there is..."

Seeing his voice and image starting to shake, Scarlett instinctively looked down and was met with the sight of the little roothead somehow having climbed onto her shoulder, its eyes like black beans staring curiously at the phone screen.

Quincy’s aura was low, and he’d just encountered a ghost, so it was normal to see ghosts at this moment. Scarlett explained,

"This is a little baby spirit I am temporarily fostering, don’t mind it."

Suddenly, Quincy, on the other side of the screen, widened his eyes once more, and after a while, hung up the video call with a smack.

Scarlett didn’t pay it any mind. Not long after, she received an address from Quincy.
