The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 809

Chapter 809: Chapter 809: I Will Bring Him Back

After the sudden disappearance of her fiancé, she discovered there was another woman in his dreams.

If it were a novel, this would mark the beginning of a heart-wrenching misunderstanding.

But looking at the woman before her, Scarlett Jennings felt no rejection; instead, there was a subtle feeling of inevitability about her presence.

More importantly, those nine tails...

Nine-tailed Fox.

She had heard her mother mention it before.

In her family lineage, they hailed from the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Fox.

Yet over the millennium, only three in the family had truly cultivated into a Nine-tailed Fox.

One of them was Aaron Hearne.

Which was why he could become the leader of the Mystic Regulation Office, and for years, no demon dared provoke him.

Could this Nine-tailed Fox in front of her be one of them?

Because it was facing away, Scarlett couldn’t see her features clearly.

Yet she had a vague feeling that if she could identify this Nine-tailed Fox, perhaps Samuel Chalmers would reappear.

Scarlett wanted to get closer to see more clearly, but unexpectedly, a mist suddenly obscured her view, and in the next second, she was forcefully pulled back to consciousness.

Because of the forced expulsion from this corner of the dream, Scarlett didn’t see the heavy mist from which another long tail swung behind the woman.

...

Scarlett suddenly opened her eyes, the spiritual power in her hands drained away, and the Dreamy Tapirus, previously suspended in mid-air, fell to the ground with a thud.

Benedict Beast, unknowingly having sidled up to Scarlett’s feet again, observed her momentarily standing still as if she had lost consciousness and was anxious until she finally regained awareness and awoke with a gasp.

Benedict Beast was unsure of what had just transpired but was certain it had to do with the Dreamy Tapirus, so without a second thought, it sent its tail flying at the Dreamy Tapirus lying on the ground.

Even when it’s downsized, it’s still so unruly.

It should be taught a lesson.

Dreamy Tapirus: ...

You just pick on me! Just because you’re a Divine Beast?!

Scarlett found the answer she was looking for from the Dreamy Tapirus, so she didn’t linger and left the Security Bureau, where Donovan Jennings was still waiting outside.

Somehow, he now held a small box of mint candies, casually picking one up and placing it in his mouth to chew.

Then another one.

Though sunlight bathed him, his surroundings seemed steeped in winter.

Scarlett walked over.

"Brother." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Donovan turned his head and smiled at her, noticing her gaze falling on the candy box in his hand, only smiling,

"These are just for fun."

Actually, Samuel Chalmers had quirks early on, prohibiting speaking in his car within two hours of eating.

Upon hearing people around Samuel kept mint candies, Donovan bought them for fun.

Yet he’s only eaten one or two.

He hadn’t had this candy in a long time.

Although Donovan’s voice was normal and even wore a smiling appearance, Scarlett inexplicably felt he was very forlorn.

Why?

Because of Samuel Chalmers?

Indeed, her brother and he were good friends.

Thinking of this, Scarlett said seriously,

"Brother, Samuel Chalmers will come back."

Donovan was stunned, his gaze meeting Scarlett’s earnest eyes, feeling a touch of heartache,

The car entered the villa gate, and as Scarlett got out, she saw a coffin positioned in the garden center.

A peculiar array surrounded the coffin, encircled with yellow cloth banners, and a pit beneath where soil covered half the coffin.

Stella stood nearby despite having several bandages, still guarding the coffin, sitting cross-legged.

Seeing Scarlett approach, she visibly brightened, immediately rising from the ground.

"Scarlett! You’re awake!"

While speaking, she rushed to Scarlett, embracing her with some moisture in her large eyes, indescribable sadness, and grievance.

"I wanted to visit you, but I had to help Greta’s recovery and couldn’t leave. I was so afraid you would remain unconscious like Greta."

Listening to her slightly choked voice, Scarlett gently embraced her back, patting her back softly.

"I’m fine," she said, "Greta will be okay too."

Upon hearing this, Stella’s nose tingled further, but she quickly stifled the resentment and released her.

Scarlett then looked at the array and the half-buried coffin.

"How is he now?"

Stella sniffled, replying,

"Following our clan’s and the dean’s teachings, Greta’s body is mended, but to fully recover, earthly energy is needed."

She pointed at the array around the coffin,

"This array was set up by Ashton Todd, who also selected this spot, saying it’s abundant in Yang energy by day and Shadow Energy by night."

Scarlett hearing Stella mention her clan’s methods, asked no further, but upon hearing about Ashton Todd, she inquired,

"Where’s Ashton Todd?"

"Him? He’s inside, probably pestering Lionel Strickland again."

Hearing this, Scarlett felt curious about how Ashton Todd and Lionel Strickland had clashed and walked inside with Donovan. Just upon entering, they heard Ashton Todd’s boisterous voice from within,

"One flat price, eight hundred eighty-eight! Sell it to me!"
