The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 601

Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Ghost Husband

Jessamine Lloyd was talking, when Sophie Harper suddenly spoke to another part of the room, 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"What about you, ghost?"

It was then that Ashton Todd noticed a ghostly pale-faced male ghost standing in the inner room.

This must be the ghost Sophie Harper mentioned earlier.

The male ghost had an eerie, delicate appearance and was standing at the door watching them. Upon hearing Sophie’s words, he spoke in a chilling tone,

"My name is Griffin Gentry, and I’m his husband."

At these words, not only did Jessamine Lloyd’s face flush red, but Ashton Todd was also taken aback.

"What?"

A ghost husband?

Has the love affair between humans and ghosts become this extravagant?

Jessamine Lloyd was the younger brother of the family that secretly arranged the Yin marriage for Cadence Lloyd with Li Xiao.

Originally, it was meant to control Cadence Lloyd, but due to a mix-up with a name, the marriage intended for Cadence Lloyd unexpectedly fell upon him.

When Griffin Gentry came for the wedding, Jessamine Lloyd was completely stunned.

He thought once he explained the situation, the ghost would give up on him and go find Cadence Lloyd instead.

However, Griffin Gentry just looked at him steadily for a few seconds and then eerily smiled, saying,

"A man works too."

After that, he was forced into a bridal sedan in his dreams, and Griffin Gentry came to find him every night.

Thinking about the experiences he had in the past few days made Jessamine Lloyd utterly devastated.

He was a young, handsome man in his prime, and yet he was forced to marry a male ghost!

Back then, he was full of hatred, yet unexpectedly, when the village encountered trouble later on, he managed to escape disaster because of Griffin Gentry.

Thinking of the monsters in the village, Jessamine Lloyd hurriedly pleaded with Ashton Todd,

"Taoist, Master, can you take me with such a powerful Big Ghost by your side? I can’t stay in this village even for a day!"

If possible, it would be even better to deal with Griffin Gentry, that Evil Ghost.

But this, he dared not say out loud.

Due to Griffin Gentry, he could now see ghosts too, so when he saw Ashton Todd and the obviously more powerful Big Ghost beside him, he took the initiative to bring them into his home.

"Everyone in this village has turned into monsters, you..."

Jessamine Lloyd hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly two knocking sounds came from outside, followed by a slightly aged and weak voice,

"Jessamine, it’s Mom, open the door."

Despite the weakness, the voice was noticeably cold and eerie.

Upon hearing the voice, Jessamine Lloyd’s face changed dramatically. He grabbed Ashton Todd and moved away from the door,

"Don’t, don’t open it, it’s not my mother outside, she’s not..."

His voice was very low, filled with a clear tremor and disgust.

Ashton Todd was about to ask more, when the woman outside, perhaps not getting any response, started banging on the door frantically, making her voice suddenly sharp and piercing,

"Open the door! Let me in! Let me in!"

Ashton Todd shuddered, realizing he was indeed in big trouble, instinctively took out his phone, glanced at it, and was instantly filled with despair.

Before entering the village, he had sent messages to the academy instructors and Scarlett Jennings, but they showed [failed to send].

Ashton Todd: We’re screwed.

...

Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings and five others had just gotten off the high-speed train. As soon as they exited the station, someone hurriedly ran up to Scarlett Jennings,

"Miss, President Jiang asked me to pick you up; cars are prepped outside, and your lodging is arranged as well. I’ll take everyone to the city to rest for the night first."

On the way, Donovan Jennings had privately contacted Scarlett Jennings, knowing their destination this time. He had someone arrange everything in advance.

After the second competition, he knew that as long as the match wasn’t disrupted, some appropriate external help was allowed.
