Chapter 228
The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Back to School Surprise "Scarlett Jennings didnât know about the âdealâ Samuel Chalmers secretly struck with Dashiell.
For the next few days, Scarlett secluded herself in her room, engrossed in carving jade talismans.
These were promised earlier to be consecrated in the Stonetemple for North Mountain Village, using the finest jade sourced by the Woods Family.
Concerned about lacking time to handle this after school started, Scarlett decided to complete the work before the school year began.
As for the jade carving Adam Jennings previously asked for help with, Scarlett automatically ignored it.
A day before school started, Scarlett completed everything and called Spiritual Affairs Express to have the delivery guy take the items directly to the Fairy Lady.
Once the Stonetemple was completed, it would place the jade talismans inside.
Having finished these tasks, Scarlett felt at ease as she awaited the next dayâs registration matters. Remembering Lucas Jenningsâs earlier mention of pampering fans, she sifted through her phoneâs album and posted a photo of her little cutie with a crown veil.
Her caption read, âRegistering for school tomorrow, and theyâre not allowing pet foxes.â
Her tone carried a hint of helplessness and regret.
When netizens suddenly saw her update her social media, it dawned on them what day tomorrow was, and they immediately flooded Scarlettâs comment section like bees.
âAhhh! Our girl registers tomorrow! We wonât see her in the fourth reality show episode, sob sob!!â
âDidnât we already know this? She had taken leave in the last episode.â
âHow will I survive without Scarlett in the fourth episode~â
âBy the way, hasnât the new guest for the fourth episode been announced yet?â
âWe wonder who the unlucky one will be, maybe Director Clark hasnât found anyone willing to replace her yet.â
âI donât care about a sixth guest! "Inspiration" doesnât need a sixth guest, but it canât be without Scarlett!!â
âI watched the Fairy Lady throwing talismans a hundred times! Sob sob, it was really cool!â
âI heard the child she saved has completed surgery, and it went well! Scarlett really saved a family.â
âI donât care, for me, mysticism is real! @Sea City Taoist Academy, so are you really not allowing Scarlett to livestream her registration?â
Among the teary-eyed comments, an inconspicuous message was mixed in yet didnât garner much attention.
âInsider scoop, seems like thereâs a surprise tomorrow.â
Because it came from a normal account, and the content was vague, it quickly got buried among the comments.
Scarlett paid it no mind, naturally.
The next morning, after breakfast, Scarlett headed upstairs to pack her things, ready to set off for registration.
The Taoism Academy was in Sea City, and according to the academyâs address, it would be just over a two-hour drive from the villa.
As Scarlett carried her luggage downstairs, she saw Lucas, Donovan Jennings, and Luca Jennings already waiting below.
âAhem, itâs your first day of registration. Weâre all going to send you off.â
For this day, Donovan and Luca had arranged their work schedules several days in advance just to free up this time.
In the past eighteen years, they hadnât had the chance to send a kid off to school, so they wouldnât miss such a day today.
Though the academy said family members werenât allowed to accompany students for registration, even just accompanying her on the drive was nice.
Thatâs what both Luca and Donovan thought.
As for Lucas, he simply wanted to tag along.
Adam had no intention of going together; he was still dwelling on his own matters. Seeing Scarlett about to leave, he forcibly slipped a piece of paper into her backpack.
âI know you look down on me, but this is really important to me. Inside is the original drawing I made. Help me send it to the teacher to have a look, just a look.â
With that, feeling embarrassed, he turned and ran away.
Scarlett hadnât expected Adam to still cling to the idea, but as she was about to leave, she didnât bother arguing with him.
Soon, Scarlett and the others boarded the luxury minivan the family had prepared in advance.
The driver followed the address Scarlett gave, driving out of the city and heading towards the mountains.
Lucas looked at the map Scarlett provided, incredulous, âIsnât there a place where satellite navigation canât reach these days? They actually provided a paper map? Iâve never even heard of a place called Silent Peak. Plus, it only mentions Silent Peak; it doesnât say where exactly Silent Peak is.â
Lucas flipped the map back and forth in the car, unable to locate the exact address of the Taoism Academy.
Next to him, Donovan took out his phone to search, saying, âSilent Peak can be found on satellite navigation, but the specific location of the academy isnât there.â
Luca frowned, also a bit concerned.
Was there really such a Taoism Academy?
The car drove towards Silent Peak, and the road became desolate. Later on, they couldnât even see other vehicles.
The driver wore a worried expression until, finally, they managed to spot the tail end of a convoy in the distance.
Lucas, upon seeing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief, âGood thing weâre not the only car on this road.â
Lucas then smiled at Scarlett, âSis, see, itâs a good thing we came with you today. Otherwise, youâd be scared finding it on your own.â
Scarlett glanced at him, her calm demeanor betraying no trace of fear.
Lucas awkwardly shut his mouth. Seeing there was still some distance to go, he turned on his phone to open the livestream.
âAlmost forgot, "Inspiration" starts today. Sis, do you want to pop into the livestream and say hi to everyone?â
As he talked, the guest images appeared on the livestream.
On the other side, it seemed like they were also moving in a car. The guests chatted casually, and the chat was lively, although the broadcast had just started. The chatter focused on two things.
Lucas looked closely and couldnât help but say, âSis, thereâs no new guest for the fourth episode? Itâs just four guests this time.â
Besides this, viewers were discussing the destination for this episode.
In the past, they usually gathered right at the destination, but this time, the production team rounded everyone up at a hotel and sent them into cars without stating the destination.
Scarlett, hearing Lucasâs words, became curious, glancing over. She did see the familiar four faces in the livestream.
After taking a good look at them, there was a subtle change in her eyes before she raised an eyebrow.
Donovan, being skilled at observing her expressions, grinned and asked her, âDid you figure something out?â
Scarlett nodded, her tone somewhat unusual, âThe place theyâre going today is probably the same as mine.â
Lucas was initially stunned. A second later, his eyes widened slightly, âSis, you donât mean to say that the program team also... wait.â
Lucas, as if realizing something, suddenly leaned close to the car window, carefully observing the convoy ahead.
âWould the cars ahead be the "Inspiration" production teamâs convoy?!â
They were too far to see the logo on the convoy, but...
âMost likely.â
About ten minutes later, the Jenningsâ car finally neared Silent Peak, spotting several production team vehicles parked at the mountain foot.
Director Clark and Sebastian, along with the other guests, were standing at the entrance, smiling radiantly, until the Jenningsâ car pulled up and Scarlett got out.
The group cheerfully shouted at her in unison, âSurprise!!!â

After a moment of hesitation, Scarlett cooperated by displaying a surprised expression, âAh, what a surprise.â
