The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 234: Family Ties

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Family Ties

The Five Great Immortal Houses were characterized by foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, willows, and ashes.

Among them, the hedgehog, known in folklore as the White Old Lady.

They excelled in medical skills but were extremely socially anxious, rarely appearing before people, even so, Immortal White was the most approachable among the Five Great Immortal Houses.

This was evident in how Nathan White had been tricked twice before.

Scarlett Jennings had been uncertain before and didn’t expect a family immortal to transform directly and walk among the students.

Especially since Nathan White inexplicably preferred to stay close to Amber Livingston throughout their journey, even when hiding, he stayed near Amber.

Scarlett Jennings assumed he was an immortal worshipped by Amber, like hers.

Unexpectedly, this was the original self.

Just now, when Stella Gibson suddenly hit the brakes, it was to prevent revealing this in front of the live broadcast, wasn’t it?

Knowing this, Scarlett Jennings followed along with Stella Gibson’s topic and moved past it.

Afterwards, the guests were arranged to return to their rooms to rest, and the program crew took the opportunity to set up cameras in the house.

When it was time for lunch, Nathan White and Stella Gibson accompanied the group to the school cafeteria.

Only then did they finally see the students of the academy. Because most of them were freshmen, they were a little surprised to see the program group but didn’t say anything, and just went about their own business.

They finally got to eat the notoriously terrible school cafeteria food, and as Stella Gibson said, it indeed tasted bad.

Donovan Jennings immediately took out his phone and added various snacks and foods to the dormitory list he was preparing for Scarlett Jennings.

If conditions allowed, the Jennings Family would have directly sent a chef to handle Scarlett Jennings’s daily meals.

The reason was simple, the food in the cafeteria was indeed terrible.

After eating this so-called cafeteria meal, Luca Jennings left the camera directly, and everyone assumed he went to handle business without paying too much attention.

Until the evening, he was ready to leave with Donovan Jennings.

Although they were temporary guests, the academy hadn’t prepared a place for them to stay, and Luca Jennings and Donovan couldn’t possibly stay here for three days and two nights, so they had to leave.

Before leaving, Luca Jennings told Scarlett Jennings,

"I’ve had someone prepare some things for you. I heard from your brother that your flash delivery can be sent up here, so make sure to collect it when it arrives.

Also, I talked to Mr. Yan this afternoon. Although there are no villages or households around Silent Peak, the land is leased, and Dad has rented a piece of land at the foot of the mountain to open a restaurant.

If you can’t get used to the school food, you can eat at the restaurant in the future. Ordering takeout all the time isn’t nutritious, and if there’s anything you’d like to eat, you can tell the chef in advance..."

Luca Jennings didn’t hide his words from others. Listening to his lavish words, the live audience felt both envious and jealous, even thinking it was a bit exaggerated.

Yet, Luca Jennings didn’t think it was anything significant, as his daughter was going to be here for four years.

How could she not eat well?

If it weren’t for the academy’s rules, he’d even consider building a small villa at the foot of the mountain just for Scarlett to live in... but that was just a thought.

Outwardly, Luca Jennings was always stern and tight-lipped, but this time he rambled on to Scarlett Jennings like every parent advising their child who is leaving for study.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t feel too much before; she was used to being independent and was prepared to face the future alone when she left the Garrison Family.

But upon returning to the Jennings Family, she once again had a family.

Listening to Luca Jennings’s instructions this moment, she truly felt that tied-down feeling.

It was as if there was an invisible string binding them together, making her realize she always had a place to return to.

And this kind of "bond," Scarlett Jennings didn’t dislike.

Looking at the serious face of Luca Jennings giving her instructions, Scarlett Jennings suddenly remembered something, and her expression was no longer perpetually cold and detached; instead, there was a bit more of the normal emotion expected of a girl her age.

After a long pause, she suddenly asked softly,

"Dad, can you give me a hug?"

She had seen Timothy Garrison pick up and drop off Isolde Garrison at school several times, smiling and hugging her dotingly and naturally.

During such times, she was always the one watching from the side.

Back then, she didn’t really feel envious.

But at this moment, seeing Luca Jennings’s farewell, she suddenly thought of such hugs.

She was a bit curious about what that felt like.

Luca Jennings visibly froze upon hearing her words.

Since Scarlett returned home, although he had tried to learn how a father should behave, it was limited to daily care.

The closest they came to typical father-daughter interaction was probably when the three of them went shopping and drank tea together earlier.

But even then, there wasn’t any intimate hug.

However, Luca Jennings only hesitated for a moment before he quickly opened his arms, ready to give his daughter her first hug.

Yet, just as he was about to reach out, Donovan’s movement was a step ahead, and he embraced Scarlett from the side.

Luca Jennings’s brow twitched, just as he was about to pry him off, Lucas Jennings also opened his arms and rushed in to join the hug.

Seeing that he suddenly didn’t even have a spot, Luca Jennings’s face darkened instantly.

"Let go! We’re still live, what does this look like?!"

Scarlett wanted him to hug her!

Why were they all eager to join in the fun?

Donovan just raised an eyebrow at him with a smile, although he didn’t say anything, the intention in his eyes was clear.

Who told you to be in a daze just now? Blame whom?

We couldn’t let Scarlett stand there awkwardly waiting.

Luckily, Donovan knew they were on live and didn’t actually hug for long; he just gave a gentle hug and released, pulling Lucas away with him.

The live-stream viewers, initially sour, couldn’t help but be moved upon hearing Scarlett’s soft request.

They all knew that Scarlett had been taken away and only recently returned to her family, and being used to her calm and collected demeanor, they often forgot she was only eighteen.

For a moment, the comment section was full of tears, urging "Dad to hug his girl."

The initially sentimental atmosphere was unexpectedly disrupted by Donovan and Lucas’s intervention, leaving many crying and laughing at once.

Finally managing to pull Donovan and Lucas away, Luca Jennings found it hard to return to the prior request, so he sternly sent them off the mountain.

Scarlett Jennings escorted the three to the mountain gate, and as the sky darkened, she thought for a moment, then pulled out a little yellow paperman.

Following the technique she used at the wild temple before, she cast a spell on the little paperman and instructed it to escort them down the mountain.

Lucas Jennings was stunned by the lifelike little papermen, eager to follow them, and seeing this, Donovan also directly followed.

Until only Luca Jennings was left, Scarlett Jennings waved goodbye to him.

Just as Luca Jennings turned to leave, he suddenly spun back around, quickly extended his arms, and gave her a swift hug.

Scarlett Jennings was taken aback, the hug was brief and fleeting.

Luca Jennings, seemingly uncomfortable with such gestures, released her with a gentle pat on her shoulder, then turned and hurriedly caught up with the others.

Scarlett Jennings watched as the three walked away in the sunset for a long time before her lips curved into a pleasant arc.

That smile appeared soft under the glow of the evening sky.
