The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 261: That Phrase is Called Scarlett Grant

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: That Phrase is Called Scarlett Grant

Gregory Xander grew up under the family’s heritage, considered one of the top prodigies of his generation.

However, today, he faced the first real setback of his life.

If he had still been doubtful that Scarlett Jennings had used some magic treasure to defeat him before, now he had no doubts at all.

He accepted it.

In the Mystical Sect, respect doesn’t hinge on age, but on strength.

With Scarlett Jennings’ strength surpassing his own, there was nothing left for him to say about it.

Gregory Xander silently transferred the corresponding points to her, then turned and left without a word.

Sebastian Carew looked at his retreating figure, smiling warmly, "Senior Brother Xander seemed to have taken quite a blow."

Amber Livingston muttered, "If it were me, I’d feel defeated too."

Didn’t see how he’s been too embarrassed to mention his "Immortal Family" in front of Scarlett Jennings lately?

It’s all because he realized that his tricks have been seen through by the expert.

Remembering how he once pretended to be mysterious in front of the expert during the first episode and later even let fans question her about raising a fox to copy him,

Amber Livingston shivered at the thought, feeling grateful that Scarlett Jennings and Evander Simpson hadn’t exposed his antics to the program’s audience yet.

So now he’s completely lying flat.

Quietly earning his appearance fee is pretty sweet.

Lost in thought, he noticed a group of guests gathered around Scarlett Jennings’ screen and realized they were ordering takeout,

quickly joining them with his plump body.

"Are you ordering takeout? What restaurants are nearby to choose from?"

He just joined when he saw that Scarlett Jennings’ phone screen showed nothing but a flash delivery address page.

Amber Livingston: ???

"You tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll have the flash delivery guy buy it all and bring it over," Scarlett Jennings explained.

Ariel Zimmerman looked at her expectantly, "Can it be from any restaurant? I want to eat the noodles from my hometown of Plain City."

As soon as Ariel Zimmerman said this, Amber Livingston couldn’t help but speak up,

"You’re dreaming too big, Ariel! Plain City is so far, there’s no way to deliver it, even if they could it wouldn’t be edible, better check if there’s any farmhouse food nearby..."

Amber Livingston hadn’t finished his words when Scarlett Jennings casually replied, "Sure, which specific place?"

Amber Livingston nearly choked on his unfinished sentence, stunned at what she said, unable to help but stare wide-eyed at Scarlett Jennings, with an expression clearly saying "Are you kidding me? Is this even possible?"

Originally, Ariel Zimmerman was half-joking when she brought it up, since she always felt that Scarlett’s talk about Spiritual Affairs flash delivery was no ordinary thing; hadn’t she seen how distances didn’t seem to matter when she ordered it for that antique uncle?

Moreover, the delivery was practically at her door right after she placed the order.

Even hiring a ghost wouldn’t be that fast.

Scarlett Jennings ignored the astonishment on their faces and simply explained, "Charging based on distance."

Then she added, "Senior Brother Xander sent me plenty of points."

The live-stream viewers, like Amber Livingston, initially thought to poke fun at Ariel Zimmerman for dreaming too big, thinking to suggest she waits until work ends to eat.

But suddenly hearing Scarlett Jennings’ words caught everyone off guard with astonished expressions.

[Ahem, what does she mean? Can they really deliver from Plain City?]

[Oh my! I’m begging to know how to download this Spiritual Affairs APP, I really want this nationwide flash delivery!]

[If I can’t get into the Academy, at least give me the APP, right?]

[Can they deliver anything from anywhere? If so, I’m in! Highly recommending the snail noodle from my hometown! A true delicacy of the Mortal Realm!]

[Hey, if that’s the case, I can’t just ignore it! Our Shaanxi province’s lamb stew is absolutely unbeatable!]

[Peking duck, Peking duck!]

[Sweet and sour pork ribs!]

The live stream’s barrage eagerly started listing local delicacies, and surprisingly, Scarlett Jennings began actively interacting with the audience, scrolling through the comments for menu ideas.

Noticing, the other guests also started looking through the comments for food choices to report back to Scarlett Jennings.

Just as Scarlett Jennings was about to take her phone to jot things down, she saw a sudden WeChat message from Donovan Jennings pop up.

[Donovan Jennings: Go dry your hair and change your clothes first!]

The commanding tone made Scarlett Jennings’ typing falter slightly.

She instinctively glanced at the camera, uncharacteristically showing a hint of guilt.

Ariel Zimmerman noticed and asked what was wrong.

Scarlett Jennings explained that her brother was watching the live stream and remotely directing her to go back and change her clothes.

Only then did Director Clark and the program crew realize that Scarlett Jennings still had wet clothes on, and even though it was midsummer and she wouldn’t catch a cold, staying wet was uncomfortable.

Director Clark looked regretful, quickly urging all the guests to go back and change clothes.

Then, with a generous wave, he gave the guests an hour off to rest.

The guests, who’d been up and busy since early morning, looked visibly relieved and dispersed joyously.

As the guests left, the live-stream viewers noticeably dwindled.

...

Rewind to a few minutes prior.

Jennings Family.

Adam Jennings came downstairs to see Lucas Jennings and Ismeria Jennings surprisingly huddled together, enthusiastically watching a live stream on a tablet.

Adam merely glanced to know they were watching Scarlett Jennings’ "Inspiration" broadcast.

He had thought that enrolling in school could quiet things down to help him out, but now she’s busy with a show.

Adam couldn’t understand what wires Lucas Jennings crossed to suddenly hold Scarlett in such high regard.

Before he could figure it out, his dear little sister also started chasing after Scarlett’s footsteps.

He could ignore Lucas, but Ismeria was his little sister, and that he couldn’t let slide.

He put on a serious face, "Ismeria, why are you joining Lucas in this fuss? Why hasn’t your piano teacher been around lately?"

Caught off guard by her brother’s call, Ismeria wasn’t fazed, directly responding, "I didn’t like that piano teacher, so I asked Mom to change her."

"And," she added, "my little brother and I are watching Sister Scarlett’s livestream!"

Adam kept a stern face.

He was very aware she was watching the live stream, which is why he called her out.

Before he could say more, Lucas pulled his cousin close and said, "Don’t bother with him. Your brother’s temper has been bad lately."

Ismeria giggled at the mention of her brother’s bad temper, showing no fear of her older brother’s anger, and even nodded in agreement, turning back to watch the live stream, then asked Lucas,

"Little brother, isn’t her name Scarlett? Why does she also go by Gabriella?"

"That’s an alias," Lucas explained offhandedly,

"Our sister’s choice of name is straightforward and clear. You see, Scarlett, as in vivid and lifelike, you can tell it’s her alias!"

Adam, seeing the two younger ones ignoring him, was about to leave when he heard this and couldn’t help but mock,

"Your language teacher would cry hearing your interpretation. It’s viv-id and like-life, not vivid and lifelike in that sense!"

Adam said this, suddenly freezing in place.

As if something struck him, his pupils contracted,

Scarlett! Lifelike!

Teacher Lifelike!!

Crap!
