The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Who said opportunities can only be one?

On the second level of the carousel, Dashiell sat alone on a wooden horse, eating dessert while watching the fireworks.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank, as if sensing something, he stared intently at the top of the clouds.

In the next second, the Flood Dragon Horn that he had just suppressed returned to quivering restlessly.

Just now, he seemed to have sensed the presence of his kin!

No, that feeling is somewhat different from his kin, like it’s a higher level...

A dragon!

His potential kin!

Excitedly, Dashiell’s Flood Dragon Horn trembled, and seeing no one around, he swiftly transformed into his original form and shakily flew upwards into the sky with effort.

...

On the second floor of the castle, Scarlett Jennings watched as the fireworks faded and suddenly, as if recalling something, she asked Samuel Chalmers,

"Earlier, when you told the guests I was your fiancée... do you mind?"

Samuel assumed she was belatedly holding him accountable for announcing it without permission but didn’t expect her to ask this instead. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

His dark eyes shifted as he asked her in return,

"Why would I mind?"

"After all, you are the head of the Chalmers Family..." Scarlett paused, pointing at herself, seriously said,

"And I am, first and foremost, a Master, and secondly, a member of the Jennings Family."

Even if their backgrounds match, Scarlett had never considered developing any real relationship with Samuel.

Because she knows her world is different from his.

She couldn’t take on the role of a fiancée.

The Chalmers Family wouldn’t want a mistress who is devoted to the Mystical Sect.

She thought this was something they had silently agreed upon from the start.

Thus, they always said they were dating rather than engaged in public.

Because there is a fundamental difference between a dating partner and a fiancée.

Though she didn’t state it explicitly, Samuel understood what she meant.

She had her own priorities, and nothing would change because of him.

Feeling slightly helpless, Samuel simply looked at her for a long time and seriously responded,

"What if I said I don’t mind?"

Not even before did he ever mind this issue.

He’s always only worried if she would mind.

Scarlett, being looked at so seriously by him, felt a strange flutter in her heart, belatedly realizing that discussing this now seemed rather pointless.

After all, they were pretending.

And only for a year.

Telling herself this, she nevertheless couldn’t help but ask him,

"Then if... one day, you suddenly discover someone secretly engaged you to a fiancée... would you mind?"

Although Scarlett maintained a serious expression, Samuel could still see a hint of... tension in her eyes.

Was she planning to come clean?

He hid a barely noticeable amusement in his dark eyes.

After a long pause, he slowly answered her question,

"That would depend on what kind of person that fiancée is. If that person..."

If it’s you...

Before those two words could leave his mouth, both he and Scarlett sensed something amiss.

Scarlett quickly turned her head.

Upon clearly seeing the little silver Flood Dragon trying to fly up in the distance, her almond eyes widened.

"Dashiell!"

Ignoring Samuel’s unfinished sentence, as soon as Scarlett recognized the little Flood Dragon, she decisively raised her hand, sending a Concealing Talisman along with spiritual power turned into a Binding Chain sweeping toward Dashiell.

Dashiell was still struggling to fly higher, but since Flood Dragons don’t fly well, and with his true form being relatively small, halfway through, he felt his body swaying in the night wind.
