The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 483: The All-Powerful Jennings Family

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The All-Powerful Jennings Family

Unlike my brother’s family business, the families of the other eighteen people either own shops or are company employees.

And today, without exception, they were all suddenly hit hard.

Families with local shops were suddenly asked to vacate their premises, with landlords even willing to pay a high breach penalty.

Company employees were suddenly fired or directly transferred to a branch in another city.

Even a few who were simply attending school locally couldn’t avoid it; though they couldn’t be expelled, their family’s jobs back home were also affected to some extent.

In one short evening, none of the nineteen people were spared.

The small group of nineteen people was suddenly in an uproar.

[This is too much! The Jennings Family forced my family’s shop to be taken over! What gives them the right? Is there no law anymore?!]

[My dad got fired from the company! My brother-in-law even called home to yell at me!]

[My dad called too, asking me what kind of person I offended, but I swear I didn’t do anything!]

[I worked so hard to secure my footing in Sea City! Now it’s all over!]

[The Jennings Family is practically trying to control everything! We can’t just let this slide!]

Several young members in the group were indignant, all feeling that Scarlett Jennings’s methods of reprisal were too lowly.

Is it impressive to have money?

Even if they harbored bad intentions at the time, they didn’t actually act on it, right?

Scarlett Jennings wasn’t even touched by a hair on her head by them, so why go so far as to annihilate their families?!

Yet the Jennings Family left no evidence behind when doing this, not even involving any legal issues.

Led by my brother, a few of the young members couldn’t stand it and immediately discussed exposing the Jennings Family’s ’evil deeds’ online.

This plan was instantly refuted by a few slightly older members,

[If you’re going to court disaster, don’t drag us with you! The Jennings Family has already warned that if anyone dares to expose or insult Scarlett Jennings online, it won’t be as simple as just making us unable to stay in Sea City!]

Once these words were spoken, all nineteen members of the group felt noticeably apprehensive.

If they were somewhat indifferent before, the Jennings Family’s actions tonight really made them a bit fearful.

They dared not think of retaliating against the Jennings Family anymore, only venting their anger on other group members.

Thinking if it weren’t for someone instigating back then, how would they have stood together with those people, contemplating to harm Scarlett Jennings?

These people had ruined them.

For a time, the group was filled with mutual insults and complaints, and if it weren’t online but offline, these people would have definitely fought each other.

Scarlett Jennings is unaware of Donovan Jennings’s handling of these nineteen people.

Because at this moment, she was just finishing a farewell dinner with the crew of the ’Inspiration’ show.

The ’Inspiration’ variety show came to legendary prominence, blazing through the summer, yet surprisingly they never shared a private meal; Director Clark consulted the guests’ schedules in advance, thus arranging this meal.

By the end of the dinner, it was almost nine o’clock.

Just as they were about to disperse, Ariel Zimmerman suddenly said to Scarlett Jennings,

"Scarlett, Senior Brother Xander seems not to be in our guest group. Why not add him?"

Scarlett Jennings was messaging Samuel Chalmers, and responded instinctively,

"Nathan isn’t in the group either."

Not only Nathan wasn’t there, previously all who served as the sixth guest except Ianthe Lawson were not in the group.

Scarlett Jennings was puzzled by why Ariel Zimmerman suddenly mentioned this, then saw her looking eagerly at her, her voice carrying an inexplicable tone of pleading,

"Add them."

Scarlett Jennings wasn’t experiencing sweet girls’ pleading for the first time; hearing this, she obediently added Gregory Xander to the group, and thoughtfully added Nathan White as well.

Can’t favor one over the other.

Ariel Zimmerman obviously had no objections, and Gregory Xander slightly frowned when he saw he was added to the group, instinctively looking toward Scarlett Jennings.

He didn’t understand, the work was finished, why was he added in?

Ariel hurriedly explained this was to stay in touch in the future, as a proof that everyone had once gathered together.

Gregory Xander merely responded, "Probably won’t have much chance to stay in touch in the future."

Unless you run into a ghost.

As he spoke, he gestured to exit the group.

Ariel Zimmerman watched his actions, her gaze immediately followed, directly asking him, "Do you dislike being in the same group as me?"

Ariel Zimmerman’s words made Gregory Xander’s hand suddenly pause.

Turning his head, he saw Ariel Zimmerman looking like she was about to cry, prompting him to quickly retract his hand and seriously say,

"I don’t."

"Really?" Ariel Zimmerman was skeptical.

Gregory Xander had to explain again and promise not to leave the group casually. Only then did Ariel finally let it go and turned to bid farewell to the others.

Meanwhile, Samuel Chalmers’s car had arrived for Scarlett Jennings.

She and Ariel Zimmerman walked out together, immediately spotting Samuel Chalmers’s car, just as she was about to approach, Samuel Chalmers unexpectedly got out of the car.

Simultaneously, he took out a huge bouquet of... green roses from the trunk.

Scarlett Jennings was momentarily stunned, while Ariel Zimmerman excitedly grabbed her arm, shaking it.

"Ahhh, Mr. Chalmers is so romantic!"

In contrast to Ariel Zimmerman’s excitement, Scarlett Jennings appeared overly calm.

After saying farewell to Ariel Zimmerman, she walked towards Samuel Chalmers, looking at the flowers in his hand, her gaze inquiring.

Scarlett Jennings wasn’t ignorant of the meaning of lovers gifting flowers.

But she and Samuel Chalmers, they were fake.

Samuel Chalmers met her obviously questioning gaze, simply said,

"Assistant said celebrating your work ending shouldn’t be empty-handed."

Samuel Chalmers was telling the truth.

Originally, seeing the time was right, he was about to come pick her up; as he went downstairs, his assistant heard he planned to go empty-handed, promptly shooting him a gaze of disbelief and complexity.

Only then did Samuel Chalmers realize that at such a time, he should prepare something to celebrate for her.

Unfortunately, knowing too late left him no choice but to bring flowers.

Scarlett Jennings understood instantly upon hearing the assistant suggested it.

She thought as much, his type wasn’t someone who’d prepare such things.

The two got in the car, Scarlett Jennings placed the flowers in the middle between them, Araminta Gold and Liora Gold immediately jumped out from their pockets, directly diving into the bouquet to play hide-and-seek.

Scarlett Jennings tilted her head watching them for a while, her gaze instinctively shifted from the bouquet to Samuel Chalmers beside her.

Because of the Golden Light, she often couldn’t see his expression clearly, sometimes couldn’t grasp his thoughts.

Just like today’s bouquet.

If it wasn’t for their faux romantic relationship, he wouldn’t need to do this boyfriend thing.

Thinking about it, Scarlett Jennings suddenly asked him,

"Samuel, when do you think it’s suitable to publicly announce our breakup?"

Scarlett Jennings’s sudden question made the driver in front tremble violently on the steering wheel, then quickly stabilized.

Samuel Chalmers paid no mind to the driver’s previous instability, slowly turned his head toward Scarlett Jennings, seeing her earnestly asking for his opinion.

Samuel Chalmers’s lips curled into a cold smile she couldn’t see, but his voice revealed no emotions,

"We only just implicitly announced our relationship today; talking about breaking up now, do you think that makes sense?"
