The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 1221: Dashiell’s Big Pie

During the next half hour, Scarlett Jennings and Donovan Jennings were forced to listen to Dashiell recount the bitter tales of being dragged by Simon to work everywhere during this period.

Scarlett Jennings gave a brief summary,

"So, Simon told you that as part of the Dragon Clan’s mission and responsibility, you must step up in such crucial times, and that’s why you’ve been working diligently at the Security Bureau for him for several days?"

Donovan Jennings heard the summary, his eyes deepened with amusement, but he didn’t comment further.

Dashiell initially thought Scarlett Jennings’ summary was spot-on, but upon careful listening, he felt something was off.

"I wasn’t so easily swayed by him; he promised me things for my work."

Donovan Jennings raised an eyebrow, "Like what?"

"For example, he said I’m the hope of the young generation of the Dragon Clan, destined to take over his position managing the Security Bureau in the future, so getting familiar with the job now is quite normal."

Dashiell’s expression brightened when he talked about being the hope of the Dragon Clan and taking over the Security Bureau.

He clearly believed Simon’s words.

Scarlett Jennings and Donovan Jennings couldn’t help but exchange a glance, seeing sympathy and helplessness in each other’s eyes.

And yet, he dares to say he’s not easily swayed? Clearly, he was completely fooled.

As for taking over his position to manage the Security Bureau, anyone who’s had a day of real work wouldn’t believe such a pipe dream.

This dream is as extravagant as a conglomerate CEO telling a new intern, "Work hard, and this company will be yours in the future."

It was evident that Simon was truly busy.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t resort to even fooling a newly "Dragon Transformed" minor dragon.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t have the heart to shatter Dashiell’s beautiful dream, but as a good friend, she had to give him a little nudge.

So, she posed a tactful question,

"I remember you used to be a protector with Callum Yuan for Samuel Chalmers. Did Simon ask for your help and not his?"

The Dragon Clan doesn’t have many young ones, and the newly born dragons in the past century were only Dashiell and Callum Yuan.

Scarlett Jennings couldn’t believe Simon hadn’t said those words to Callum Yuan.

Dashiell’s face inexplicably showed a hint of pride when he mentioned Callum Yuan,

"Of course he asked, but Callum Yuan blatantly ignored Simon. It’s because of his rebellious nature that the future of the Dragon Clan can only be entrusted to me."

Evidently, Simon’s original plan was to recruit two unpaid workers, but since one of them clearly wasn’t buying into his charm, Simon gave both promises to Dashiell.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t quite know how to subtly remind him.

Because Dashiell clearly didn’t think Callum Yuan was clear-headed, but instead believed Simon chose him over Callum Yuan.

She simply skipped this topic and returned to the original discussion,

"Since you’re supposed to be the future dragon to bear the responsibilities of the Security Bureau, do you still have time to participate in the ’Inspiration’ live broadcast?"

"Well, I can always take a holiday to rest."

Dashiell spoke with righteous confidence, "And I originally participated in the third season of ’Inspiration’, so I’m experienced. I’m the perfect choice."

Scarlett Jennings wanted to say the plan was to have the first season guests return, you from the third season aren’t suited, but before she could speak, Donovan Jennings suddenly said,

"I think it’s quite suitable as well."

He looked at Scarlett Jennings, rarely speaking up for Dashiell, "Since he wants to go, let him go. As for Director Clark, I can give him a heads up."

If Donovan Jennings can say something like this, then he’s clearly supporting Dashiell.

Scarlett Jennings, although unsure since when the two had become so close, didn’t refute Donovan Jennings’ words.

After all, she was just leveraging ’Inspiration’ to make a public appearance, guest choices weren’t crucial.

Dashiell was elated at Donovan Jennings’ words and immediately finalized the arrangement with Donovan Jennings before turning to inform Simon that he would request leave.

Surprisingly, he wasn’t directly dropping work.

Scarlett Jennings was slightly surprised.

After all, Dashiell was never an overly diligent dragon.

Seeing Dashiell happily leave, Scarlett Jennings looked at Donovan Jennings.

She had a feeling that his sudden willingness to help Dashiell wasn’t so simple.

Donovan Jennings met her slightly inquisitive gaze and said,

"A person won’t easily change themselves. If they suddenly have a change, then it’s because they have a compelling reason to change."

When Donovan Jennings spoke of this, his usually smiling lips slightly tightened. Looking at Scarlett, his voice softened,

"Maybe he isn’t purely naive enough to be swayed by Simon’s few words, but rather Simon’s words struck at a hidden goal within him."

Scarlett Jennings was momentarily surprised, thinking that Dashiell’s past life goal might have been the Dragon Transformation.

But post-Dragon Transformation, Dashiell seemed to have achieved a state of dragon-life completeness. As for a goal, she hadn’t noticed one.

Let alone replacing Simon to manage the Security Bureau as a goal.

Seeing she hadn’t grasped it, Donovan Jennings sighed inwardly and said,

"He’s likely aiming to become stronger while gaining more authority and influence."

Just like... he once did.

Saying this, he suddenly reached out, lightly patting her head, his voice growing ever gentler,

"You nearly disappearing and never coming back this time was a blow to us and everyone who cared about you."

Nobody wants to experience the helplessness against reality and the feeling of nearly losing someone important again.

If they could become stronger and more reliable, then next time when facing danger, they wouldn’t just be protected from behind, staring at her silhouette.

Such feelings, Donovan Jennings understood better than anyone.

So he understood Dashiell and was willing to indulge him in some minor whims.

Scarlett Jennings was dumbfounded by Donovan Jennings’ words.

She was not particularly slow-witted, but Donovan Jennings’ answer didn’t fall within her line of thought.

But she didn’t doubt Donovan Jennings’ judgment.

If a person suddenly changes, it’s because they have a compelling reason to change.

Dashiell is... because of her.

A warm, yet slightly bittersweet feeling flowed within, and Scarlett Jennings had never regretted her choices.

Yet she was grateful she came back.

With her eyes slightly lowered for a long while, seeing Donovan Jennings was about to leave, Scarlett Jennings suddenly called out,

"Brother."

She said,

"About the show participation with Dashiell, I’ll talk to Director Clark myself."

Just as Donovan Jennings said.

The kid just wants to participate in the comeback show together with her, does it matter whether he’s an original guest or not?

Coddle him, that’s all.

...

On the other side, Felix Clark returned to the temporary hotel.

After shutting the door and removing his suit, the once-strict and professional young elite suddenly jumped onto the bed, opening a group chat to start sending messages.

[You all wouldn’t guess who I met today?!]

[Scarlett is really taking a good rest, and by the way, she accepted the journal we collaborated to produce!]

The two messages instantly blew up the previously quiet group chat.

[What, what?! Sister! How did you manage this?! Please teach me!]

[Did you really see her?! How is she? Boo hoo, I want to see her too.]

[Sister, are you a Jennings Family relative or an employee? I heard many want to see Scarlett but can’t!]

Felix Clark watched the rapidly refreshing messages in the group chat, his lips curving into a satisfied smile.

[I just happened to have an opportunity to contact through work...]

Then he individually chose the message about seeing her and replied,

[That wish could likely be fulfilled soon.]

Sure enough, later that very evening when Felix Clark had sent that message, an online announcement was made that Scarlett Jennings would participate as a returning guest in the ’Inspiration’ special edition.

The news sparked a frenzy online.
