The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 1146: Only One Ashton Todd Is Allowed to Exist

Chapter 1146: Chapter 1146: Only One Ashton Todd Is Allowed to Exist

One of the four great joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Scarlett Gibson and Ashton Todd didn’t panic when they entered this unfamiliar Otherworld because they knew they had "connections" here!

Originally planning to eat their fill before looking for someone, they didn’t expect Jasmine Hamilton to find them first!

Scarlett was absolutely overjoyed.

"How do you know we’re here?!"

"Scarlett told me."

After receiving a message from Scarlett, Jasmine followed the aura to find them. Seeing there were others in the shop, she said,

"Thalassa Hamilton sniffed out the scent and led me here."

Thalassa was the fox Magnolia Hearne raised in the Otherworld before.

After Magnolia left, Jasmine inherited her former residence, savings, and pet.

Scarlett, who hadn’t managed to enter the Otherworld last time and hadn’t seen this fox, thought it seemed familiar, like the one raised by Scarlett’s family.

While they were talking, the shop owner curiously approached them,

"Thalassa Hamilton? This name is just like that blogger with a fox I often see online; could it be the same fox?"

The shop owner was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, looking at the fox by Jasmine’s side, "Fox?"

Isn’t it a Samoyed?

Both have white fur; the shop owner didn’t expect anyone to take a fox out for a walk, instinctively assuming it’s a Samoyed.

Jasmine nodded as if by default, and invited Ashton Todd, Scarlett Gibson, and Greta to go home with her.

Previously, Ashton and Scarlett didn’t have money to buy food; now that someone was supporting them, they naturally asked Jasmine to help pay the bill.

The shop owner initially refused, insisting that inviting them to eat was a genuine offer.

Seeing them persist, she reluctantly allowed them to pay, even throwing in several bottles of soda for them to take along.

Greta also received a bottle. While he didn’t particularly enjoy human food, he occasionally tasted it.

Scarlett said, the myriad flavors of the Mortal Realm must all be tried, good or bad.

On the way, Jasmine talked about connecting with Scarlett, discovering that not only was the array for establishing communication with the original world made possible by Ashton, but their accidental entry into the Otherworld was also his "doing," looking at him with a bit more admiration.

The array that connects to the Otherworld, capable of ignoring its Heavenly Dao rules to allow existing residents in, was impressive in itself.

Feeling a twinge of attraction, she quickly suppressed it.

Even with such a portal, she couldn’t return to her original world.

Leaving aside the need to suppress disaster in the Otherworld, over nearly three years, she had completely adapted to everything in it.

She led a rather peaceful life in the Otherworld, with her own lifestyle, her own pet, and... someone she liked.

Even if the portals between the worlds were connected, she couldn’t go back.

"I also didn’t expect to see Scarlett again and speak with her... she’s already aware that you accidentally stumbled into the Otherworld and will likely come to take you back soon, but can you open a portal for returning?"

Jasmine directed this last question to Ashton Todd.

After all, it didn’t matter how many people came; what’s crucial was how to return.

Though Ashton had thought about a return portal after his experiment succeeded, he forgot one crucial detail.

The Otherworld doesn’t collect spiritual power, so even if he could create the array, there was no power to activate it.

"I tried when I first arrived,"

Ashton said, "The materials for the array are scarce, and without spiritual power, the array can’t be activated."

Jasmine pondered for a moment, then said,

"I can help you prepare what’s needed; as for spiritual power, I might also have a solution."

Compared to more than two years ago, Jasmine, who used to be cautious and gentle as a half-demon, now maintained her grace but seemed more composed and natural.

Besides life in the Otherworld, it was also because of the demonic power and the Power of Heavenly Path she inherited from Magnolia Hearne.

Having power equates to having absolute confidence.

The group returned to Jasmine’s apartment.

Due to Thalassa Hamilton, Jasmine was quite renowned in the area, and it was rare to see her bring three people home. Curiosity prompted some to instinctively take photos and post them online.

Inside, Jasmine led them into her apartment, and once inside, they were greeted by an overwhelming aroma.

Xie Zhen poked his head out of the kitchen, asking, 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Jasmine, you’re back? Just a minute, your dinner is almost ready. You... "

He paused upon seeing the three people following Jasmine.

Ashton Todd and Scarlett Gibson were equally taken aback.

"Amber Livingston???"

Having shot an entire season of Variety Show with Scarlett, Ashton Todd and Scarlett Gibson naturally recognized Amber Livingston.

But they never expected to see Amber in Jasmine’s apartment.

And from what was just said... were they quite close?

Faced with their curious gazes, Jasmine’s cheeks flushed slightly, seemingly a bit embarrassed.

Compared to her, Xie Zhen was much calmer and first curious,

"Do you know me?"

Then he seemed to realize something and laughed, "Oh, you’ve watched my stream, right? Haha..."

Originally, he started streaming Thalassa Hamilton’s daily life, later borrowing her from Jasmine occasionally; eventually, they took her out together.

Many online didn’t just come for the fox but for the couple as well.

Thanks to the surge in traffic, Xie Zhen went from being obscure to a well-known online influencer, so he instinctively thought the two recognized him with Jasmine.

However, he saw both Ashton Todd and Scarlett Gibson looking at him awkwardly.

"Guess... we know each other."

The face before them matched Amber Livingston from their original world, even feeling identical.

This was an inhabitant of the Otherworld.

Ashton couldn’t help but wonder, if someone from the Otherworld went into their world, could they discern them?

...

Meanwhile, at the university’s campus gate.

Ashton Todd was heading out with items, planning to set up a stall at the night market but was stopped by a dorm mate.

"Ashton Todd!"

The person jogged over and casually draped his arm around Ashton’s neck,

"Such a smart guy, who would have thought you knew Beautiful Foxy’s owner! I’ve heard she’s Amber Livingston’s partner; do you know her too?"

Ashton Todd was puzzled, "What Beautiful Foxy, I don’t know her."

The friend, seeing he wasn’t lying, promptly pulled out his phone to show him,

"Stop pretending, it’s all over the net; this looks just like you! There’s even a cute junior next to you, is she your girlfriend?"

As the friend jabbered on, Ashton had already stopped listening.

He zoomed in on the photo, studying the "himself" in it.

Ashton Todd’s eyes widened in shock, and the next moment, a flash of black light swiftly crossed his eyes.

The astonishment in his eyes gradually transformed into cold indifference, ultimately settling into a numb response,

"That’s not me."

In this world, there can only be one Ashton Todd.

If there’s an extra, then it must be—

Eliminated!
