The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572: Chapter 572: It’s okay, I’m pretty amazing too

When Gregory Xander returned to the villa, Scarlett Jennings and her group were just arranging dinner.

Seeing Gregory back, everyone seemed a bit surprised.

Although he said he’d be back soon, no one expected he’d be back "soon" for real.

After all, he was going back to his own home.

Even if not staying overnight, a dinner would be expected, right?

Did they send him back without even having dinner?

Gregory met the complicated and odd looks from everyone, and then glanced at the table full of sumptuous dishes, remembering it was dinner time. However, he wasn’t in the mood to eat and simply said,

"You guys eat."

After speaking, he went straight upstairs to his chosen room.

Ashton Todd and the others exchanged fearful looks,

"Did Senior Brother Xander actually get bullied?"

Stella Gibson whispered, "That’s impossible, right? He looks pretty normal."

"You don’t understand men."

Ashton Todd said, "Especially men like Senior Brother Xander who are so rigid and prideful."

Nathan White also whispered, "He, he seems a bit down emotionally."

Lower than usual.

Scarlett Jennings thought for a moment, then decisively got up and went upstairs.

Ashton and the others quickly followed her like little tails.

On the second floor, Scarlett knocked on Gregory’s door, bluntly asking,

"Were you bullied?"

The small tails behind her were speechless: ...

No, who taught you to ask like that?

Sure enough, Gregory was first stunned, then rolled his eyes fiercely at her, "Do you think that’s possible?"

"Not very likely." Scarlett said, "Since it didn’t happen, come down and eat."

"I’m not hungry."

Gregory said, attempting to retreat back into his room.

The little tails behind Scarlett immediately stepped forward, Ashton grabbed Gregory’s arm,

"You’re not fasting, how could you not be hungry? Come on, come on, come on."

Stella also chimed in, "Yeah, Senior Brother, come on, the food is really fragrant tonight."

Nathan cautiously approached, not daring to grab him like Ashton, but simply tugged at his coat corner,

"Come, come."

Gregory was then dragged by the group back to the dining room downstairs, while the two mentors smiled without saying anything.

Once everyone was seated again, Gregory still felt a bit awkward, "I really am not hungry."

Ashton said, "We know, then just watch us eat."

Gregory: ...

That night’s dinner, the not-hungry Gregory Xander ate two big bowls.

The small frustration from going home inexplicably vanished during this meal.

...

The next day, the academy competition officially began.

The competition was held at the Capital Taoist Academy, unlike Sea City’s academy hidden in the mountains, the Capital Taoist Academy was situated in the city center, with its teaching buildings and facilities having a very modern technological vibe.

Since it was away from home, Scarlett and her group just arrived under the guidance of their mentors and received quite a few looks from the students within the academy.

Most of those gazes fell on Scarlett and Gregory, occasionally accompanied by whispered discussions.

Regarding Scarlett, it was mainly due to the nationwide awareness sparked by the popular live broadcasts of "Inspiration" acknowledging the existence of the mystical realm.

And regarding Gregory, naturally it was because he was the heir of the Xander Family.

Clearly from the Capital, yet he went to Sea City Taoist Academy for studies; how could that not pique curiosity?

Gregory paid no attention to the curious eyes around him, leading the group as the senior brother towards the Sea City Taoist Academy’s seating.

Coincidentally, their seating was arranged next to North City Taoist Academy, and as soon as the six sat down, they saw a familiar face.
